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 […]

Pizzeria Pulcinella | Seattle, WA

Outside

Pizzeria Pulcinella has the feel of an upscale, yet friendly, neighborhood pizzeria in the Rainer Beach area of Seattle – just across the street from the water.  It’s not just any neighborhood pizzeria though; their Valoriani wood fire oven from Italy cooks authentic Neopolitan pizza at over 800 degrees.  They typically offer pizzas of the twelve-inch variety […]

Tap House Grill | Seattle, WA

Margherita Flatbread

Tap House Grill has locations in Seattle and Bellevue, and I dined at the one in downtown Seattle.  I was incredibly impressed with their beer selection – 160 beers on tap – and would give them a 10/10 for that.  However, I was not as impressed with their flatbread pizza which was fairly average.  Thankfully, […]

Pizzeria Napoletana (within Caffe Vita) | Seattle, WA

Pizza Oven

Pizzeria Napoletana is located within Caffe Vita in the Pioneer Square area of downtown Seattle.  One might not expect a pizza place in the corner of a café to be very good, but Pizzeria Napoletana disproves that.  While they only serve wood-fired pizzas from 11 am to 5 pm, it is definitely worth trying one if you can make […]

The Pike Brewing Company | Seattle, WA

Mash Tun

The Pike Brewing Company is located in the famous Pike Place Market – yes, the same place where they throw fish – of downtown Seattle.  Both their pub and brewery are in the same location, and the brewery is actually mostly below the pub.  Parts of the brew kettle and mash tun are exposed in a neat way […]

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 […]

The Cheesecake Factory | Indianapolis, IN

The Cheesecake Factory_Pepperoni Pizza

The Cheesecake Factory in the Keystone Fashion Mall on Indy’s north side must be doing something right because they are always busy, and I give them credit for having quick service despite the crowds.   Part of their draw may be that they have something for everyone with one of the biggest menus I have ever seen.  […]

Bennidito’s Pizza | Spokane, WA

Bennidito's Pizza_Maui Wowie Pizza

Bennidito’s Pizza in Spokane has a cool vibe, and I would describe it as a cross between a trendy pizza place and a sports bar.  It has a fun atmosphere inside, and I think it would be even better to dine there during good weather because they even have a nice patio outside.  One thing that definitely helped […]

Palomino Restaurant & Bar | Indianapolis, IN

Palomino Restaurant & Bar_Sopressata Pizza

Palomino Restaurant & Bar is a pretty classy place, yet it manages to not be stuffy.  They have locations in a few states, and I dined at their restaurant in downtown Indianapolis, right by Circle Center Mall.  I started with their Tomato-Basil Bruschetta and enjoyed it.  The Roma tomatoes and basil were good, and the herb oil […]

Sparta’s Pizza and Spaghetti House | Lynnwood, WA

Sparta's Pizza and Spaghetti House_Italian Salami, Pepperoni, and Canadian Bacon Pizza (#19)

Sparta’s Pizza and Spaghetti House has locations in Lynnwood and Bothel, Washington, and the one in Lynnwood boldly claims to offer the “Best Pizza in the Universe.”  I am not sure we even have enough scientific evidence to test such a proclamation, but I did enjoy their pizza.  Sparta’s pizza looked different than any I can […]
