Betta’s Italian Oven is a popular restaurant in the Cincinnati area just outside of Xavier University’s campus. Betta’s is family owned and operated and strives to mimic the finest pizzerias of Napoli using their wood-fired oven for traditional Italian pizzas. I started with their bruschetta (pictured below), which I really enjoyed and would recommend. For my […]
The Pizzeria Uno that I visited in downtown Chicago was the birthplace of Chicago-style deep dish pizza, and following is its history as described on Uno’s website: “In 1943, when Ike Sewell opened a restaurant at the corner of Ohio Street and Wabash Avenue in Chicago, Americans ate pizza primarily as a snack. Ike figured […]
California Pizza Kitchen offers good pizza and many more menu options than their name would imply. I liked that their pizza had a light, fluffy crust, however they aren’t exactly loaded with cheese and toppings. They offer a lot of specialty pizzas (the Meat Cravers pizza that someone I was with had is pictured below), […]
Hungry Howie’s has pretty good flavored crust options (sesame, cajun, butter cheese, butter, ranch, garlic herb, onion, and original) at no extra charge as they claim to be “home of hte flavored crust.” Their pizza is decent but not great, and the crust is probably the highlight. I also tried their breadsticks, or “Howie Bread”, […]
Rudino’s Pizza and Grinders has a special place in my heart as I was able to watch a Colts victory there while in Cincinnati, home of the “Bungles.” It is a nice sports bar that offers a wide variety of food which obviously includes pizza and grinders. I got a pizza with extra cheese and […]
Noce’s Pizzeria is a New York-Style pizzeria with a few locations in the Cincinnati area. They also offer pasta, calzones, and subs. The pizza was okay, but the crust seemed a little thick for a New York-style slice. There also wasn’t anything too special about the sauce, and I felt like it could have used […]
Villa Pizza is a typical New York-style food court pizza place similar to Sbarro. I do think that Villa Pizza might have a little more cheese and an airier crust though. Their garlic rolls are definitely worth having. The Villa Pizza is ate at is located in the C Terminal of the Las Vegas McCarren […]
Sbarro is located in food courts across the nation as well as a few other countries. The location I visited was next to the convention center in Anaheim and only blocks away from Disneyland. Sbarro serves an average New York-style pizza as well as a few other items. While it certainly isn’t the best pizza […]
4/3/2013 Update – Unfortunately, the Carrabba’s in Carmel closed a little while ago. They do still have Indiana locations in Mishawaka and Southport as well restaurants in thirty-one other states though. Carrabba’s Italian Grill gets The Pizza Fan’s recommendation for a quality date restaurant where you can still get good pizza. I think Carrabba’s can help […]
I think Domino’s Pizza did a great job making their crust better when they went through their upgrade; it has some butter and seasoning that makes it pretty good. I think everything else tastes fairly similar, but as long as their prices stay the same then Domino’s is a great option for a decent tasting […]
