CiCi’s Pizza

IN - CiCi's Pizza

4/4/2013 Update – Many Cici’s locations, including the one I visited in Kokomo, have closed over the past few years.  I don’t know if they ever took my recommendation to bring back their cheesy garlic bread as there are no longer any locations close to me. I always found the cheesy garlic bread to be the highlight of Cici’s […]

Dewey’s Pizza | Cincinnati, OH

OH - Dewey's Pizza

All you really need to know in regards to how I feel about Dewey’s Pizza is that I held our rehearsal dinner for my wedding there.  They are generous on toppings,  and they might offer the best light and fluffy crust I have ever tasted.  I have my two favorite options pictured, the X-Pepperoni and Caprice, as […]

Papa John’s | Carmel, IN

IN - Papa John's

I would say Papa John’s does a good job of having fresh-tasting pizzas as compared to their large chain competitors.  I think the garlic dipping sauce is a nice touch as their standard crust isn’t too flavorful otherwise.  They do offer thin crust as well, but then you lose out on the garlic dipping sauce.  […]

Fazoli’s | Carmel, IN

IN - Fazolis

Aside from that brief period when they charged you a quarter for breadsticks, I have always been a huge fan of Fazolis.  They have changed their pizza recipe quite a few times over the years, but I think the current one is pretty good.  It is a fairly greasy pizza with a hint of their breadstick […]

Donatos | Carmel, IN

Donatos_Pepperoni Pizza

Donatos has to be my favorite pizza among the fairly large chains.  They have a delicious thin crust with an amazing amount of tasty pepperoni.  They put some sort of seasoning on top of their pepperoni that really makes it stand out from others.  Donatos is a little more expensive than most chains, but I think it […]

Granite City Food & Brewery | Indianapolis, IN

IN - Granite City Food & Brewery

Granite City Food & Brewery is more famous for their brews and burgers, but I was pleasantly surprised by their classic pepperoni flatbread pizza.  While the pizza is not a bad option, I could not live with myself if I didn’t strongly recommend the Bedda Chedda Bacon Burger.  It takes a secure pizza fan to […]

Maggiano’s Little Italy | Indianapolis, IN

IN - Maggiano's Little Italy

Maggiano’s is a nice restaurant that my wife often forces me to take her to.  I would just not recommend going there if you are in the mood for pizza.  It is one of the fancier types of Italian restaurants where you can only find flatbread pizza on the appetizer menu.  I personally feel that flatbreads can often […]
