As take and bake pizzas continue to gain in popularity, I felt it to be my duty to review three common options available throughout most of the country: Walmart, Papa Murphy’s, and Costco. Below are brief reviews and pictures of each followed by my recommendation for the best take and bake pizza of the three (teaser: it is probably not […]
Pearl Street Pizzeria & Pub Review | Indianapolis, IN
Pearl Street Pizzeria & Pub in Indianapolis, Indiana can truly be considered a hidden gem as it is incredibly easy to miss unless you are really looking for it. Some websites actually have its address as being on Pennsylvania Street, but it is on Pearl Street, which is really more of just an alley off […]
The Original Impellizzeri’s Pizza Review | Louisville, KY
The Original Impellizzeri’s Pizza was started in 1979, and they now have three locations in Louisville. I ate at their Highlands location on Bardstown Road which is the site of their first restaurant, so I guess you could say that I was lucky enough to eat at the original Original Impellizzeri’s Pizza. They serve a full menu of […]
Ruckus Pizza Review | Raleigh, NC
Ruckus Pizza has three locations in North Carolina, and I ate at the one in Raleigh near North Carolina State University’s campus. While some of the pictures on their website indicate a family dining atmosphere, I would caution that the Ruckus in Raleigh offers more of a late night sports bar theme. This is not meant to be a negative comment as […]
Pepper’s Pizza Review | Chapel Hill, NC
Pepper’s Pizza is located on Franklin Street at the edge of the University of North Carolina’s campus in Chapel Hill. This area of Franklin Street appears to be home to a fairly popular strip of restaurants and shops. Pepper’s itself has a somewhat narrow storefront, but the inside of it is pretty deep with plenty of seating. For sports […]
Big Mike’s Cafe Review | Indianapolis, IN
Big Mike’s Cafe Americana is a family-owned restaurant located in an unassuming strip mall off of College Avenue on the far north side of Indianapolis. I wasn’t sure what to expect for the interior of Big Mike’s given its location in an older-looking strip mall, but I was pleasantly surprised upon entering. More importantly, my wife approved of […]
Annie’s Paramount Steak & Seafood House Review | Grasonville, MD
Annie’s Paramount Steak & Seafood House is a nice restaurant located off of a marina in Grasonville, Maryland. Annie’s offers a good view and lots of items on the menu. It is not really a pizza place, but, since they have a crab pizza on the menu as an appetizer, I felt obliged to try a Maryland-themed […]
Anthony’s XIV Pizza Review | Marshall, VA
I was very excited to get to eat at Anthony’s XIV Pizza in Marshall, Virginia as that is where my cousin works – proving that a love for pizza runs in my family’s blood. They have some dine-in area but mostly serve carry-out and delivery, and, if you get it delivered, you may be lucky enough to receive your […]
Wasena City Tap Room and Grill Review | Roanoke, VA
Wasena City Tap Room and Grill, which boasts over thirty beers on tap, recently opened in Roanoke, Virginia. Their diverse menu includes burgers, tacos, and more, and I settled on a basic cheese pizza. Wasena City Tap Room’s pizzas are handtossed from their homemade dough, covered with their homemade marina sauce and baked in a stone hearth. […]
Aver’s Pizza Review | Bloomington, IN
Aver’s Pizza has three locations in Bloomington, Indiana; the Bloomington North and South locations offer carry out and delivery and their Bloomington East store also has a dining room. I ordered the Crazy Aver’s Deal from their Bloomington North restaurant, and it included a twelve-inch medium one-topping pizza, breadsticks with one dipping sauce, two drinks, and two […]
