Rudino’s Pizza and Grinders | Cincinnati, OH

OH - Rubino's Pizza and Grinders_Pepperoni Pizza

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 | Cincinnati, OH

OH - Noces Pizzeria

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 […]

The Pizza…Chef?

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Yesterday, the Tony Sacco’s in Carmel, Indiana was kind enough to allow me and group of coworkers to make our own pizza.  It was a great experience, far beyond making a Boboli at home.  I, of course, am quite proud of my pizza, and you can find pictures of the process below… Flouring the dough… Spreading the […]

Firehouse Pizza | Westfield, IN

IN - Firehouse Pizza

Firehouse Pizza makes a decent pizza with a fairly thin crust. They do a great job of loading on sausage if you choose to make it one of your toppings, but my main complaint would be that the crust lacks much flavor. Firehouse Pizza has locations in Carmel, Fishers, and Noblesville in addition to the […]

Picco | Boston, MA

Picco_Pepperoni Pizza

If I had to describe Picco in one word, it would be “trendy”. They offer an interesting spin on pizza in a cozy bar setting that almost has an up-scale feel to it. They offer many local craft beers and have a large wine selection. We enjoyed our food at a dimly lit bar while […]

Ale Emporium | Indianapolis, IN

Ale Emporium_Pizza Review

The size and atmosphere of the Ale Emporium are very impressive considering that it is located in a strip mall. Moreover, it might boast some of the best tasting pizza I have ever had inside of a restaurant with such an unassuming exterior. They offer pan and thin crust pizza. However, I have only had […]

‘Za | Indianapolis, IN

'Za_Broad Ripple_Pizza Review

‘Za is a small pizzeria in Broad Ripple that serves New York-style pizza. ‘Za’s pizza is fairly average, but it could be even better at certain times. If you enjoy being frugal, then you should go to ‘Za for their five dollar lunch special between 11 am and 2 pm. This special includes a slice, […]

Cafe Pizzaria | Bloomington, IN

Cafe Pizzaria_PizzaReview_Bloomington

Cafe Pizzaria has been serving pizzas in Bloomington with the same recipe since 1953, and it certainly has a neat college town restaurant feel with some nice Indiana University memorabilia. I believe they may have lost some popularity in recent years, but they still make a decent thin crust pizza. While I obviously had their […]

Giovanni’s Pizza | Santa Barbara, CA

Giovanni's_Pizza Review

Giovanni’s Pizza has been voted Santa Barbara’s best pizza several years, and I do agree that they serve pretty good pizza with an average thickness crust and good sausage. They have a variety of food on their menu that also includes salads, calzones, pasta, and oven-baked sub sandwiches. The inside of the restaurant has an […]

Syd’s Bar | Noblesville, IN

Syd's Bar_PizzaReview

Syd’s is an older bar on the square of downtown Noblesville. They gained my respect for serving pizza even after the kitchen is closed (for everyone, not just The Pizza Fan). The pizza isn’t too special as it is just somewhat of a typical bar pizza. However, it does have a nice amount of cheese […]
