Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom | Champaign, IL

Individual Meat Me Pizza

Old Chicago restaurants are scattered around the country, but, not surprisingly, they are most prevalent near Chicago.  The selection on their menu is as vast as their geographic coverage, and they offer appetizers, salads, wings, sandwiches, burgers, pasta, and calzones.  Lastly, if it wasn’t obvious by their full name, they also have a large selection […]

Godfather’s Pizza | Iraan, TX

Cheese Pizza

Godfather’s Pizza started in Omaha, Nebraska, and it seems they are most prevalent in the surrounding areas.  Still, they have restaurants across the country – from Alaska to Florida.  Their stores vary from standalone restaurants to express locations, which are typically attached to gas stations.  I visited an express one in Iraan, Texas that was with a gas […]

Brixx Wood Fired Pizza | Fishers, IN

Bronx Bomber

Brixx Wood Fired Pizza appears to be built around two fundamentals that should have them destined for great success: good pizza and a nice craft beer selection.  Not that it’s necessary, but they actually have some food beyond pizza as well.  To sample something else before the pizza, I did try their bruschetta.  It was pretty good, but it […]

Little Caesars | Westfield, IN

Little Caesars_HOT-N-READY Pepperoni Pizza

With the proper limited expectations, I think you can be satisfied with the pizza you get from Little Caesars given the price.  I was able to get a HOT-N-READY pepperoni pizza, a HOT-N-READY sausage pizza, and two orders of their Crazy Bread for slightly less than $20.  Being able to comfortably feed four adults for […]

Desano Pizza Bakery | Nashville, TN

Desano Pizza in Nashville, TN_Desano Pizza

A lot of places claim to offer artisan pizza Napoletana, but I doubt many of them stay as true to the tradition as Desano Pizza Bakery.  From fresh buffalo mozzarella brought in weekly from Naples, to three ovens hand made in Naples and modeled after the ones in the world’s first pizzeria there, they clearly strive to […]

Chuck E. Cheese’s | Indianapolis, IN

Chuck E. Cheese's_Medium Pepperoni Pizza

The fact that I visited a Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant with other grown men should help show that I will leave no stone unturned in my search for the best pizza.  While it probably won’t be winning any awards soon, their pizza was pretty decent and was certainly better than I expected.  It had a fairly […]

Marco’s Pizza | Westfield, IN

Marco's Pizza_Extra Cheese and Pepperoni Pizza

Marco’s Pizza just opened a new location in Westfield, Indiana, and they also already have locations in twenty-eight other states.  Their restaurant in Westfield offers some limited inside seating and is likely utilized more for carry out or delivery orders.  However, they do have a $5.99 lunch special – a six-inch sub, chips and a drink, a small salad […]

Southend Brewery and Smokehouse | Charleston, SC

SC - Southend Brewery and Smokehouse

Southend Brewery is a nice microbrewery and restaurant in dowtown Charleston just one block from the harbor. Their menu is full of appetizing lowcountry American cuisine beyond the pizza, and, while I would have loved to try some of their other food as well, the pizza was very good. Their pizza dough is made daily […]

Monza | Charleston, SC

SC - Monza_P83

  This restaurant is named after Monza, the city in Italy that is most famous for its Grand Prix motor racing circuit, the Autodromo Nazionale Monza. Following is information from Monza’s website in regards to how they stay true to the Neopolitan style of pizza from that region: “Our dough is made using imported San […]

Pizzeria di Giovanni | Charleston, SC

SC - Pizzeria di Giovanni

Pizzeria di Giovanni was recommended to me by our tour guide in Charleston, and I believe it was a very good recommendation. Although, in the interest of full disclosure, I should point out that our tour guide was leading us on a pub tour, and I ate this pizza after the tour was completed. Therefore, […]
