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 […]

M. Mogger’s Restaurant & Pub | Terre Haute, IN

Mogger Meat-ta Pizza

M. Mogger’s Restaurant & Pub is in the very cool E. Bleemel Building, which previously housed M. Mogger’s Brewery in the mid-1800s.  The atmosphere within M. Mogger’s Restaurant & Pub retains a lot of that older charm, complete with some antique brewing equipment.  Staying true to the building’s brewing roots, they also boast an excellent […]

Pizzeria Toro | Durham, NC

Pizzeria Toro_San Marzano Tomatoes, Buffalo Mozzarella, Prosciutto

Pizzeria Toro serves fine wood-fired pizza in the heart of downtown Durham, making it a great place to eat before seeing a show at The Carolina Theatre or DPAC, or even before catching a legendary Durham Bulls baseball game. I thought the pizza at Pizzeria Toro was fantastic, and the only problem is that I’m […]

Frozen Pizza Reviews

Tombstone Pepperoni

I am usually a standard Tombstone frozen pizza type of guy as I feel like it is a pretty happy medium between the really cheap and tasteless frozen pizzas and the expensive ones that still aren’t as good as a fresh-baked pie.  I typically add a little bit of shredded cheese to my frozen pizzas and […]

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 […]

Upland Brewing Co. | Carmel, IN

Upland Brewing Company_Margherita Pizza

Upland is a brewery based out of Bloomington, Indiana that has become popular enough to open up a couple additional locations in central Indiana.  All of their beers are very good, and I am also a fan of their burgers and tenderloins.  Therefore, I was excited to try their pizza, but I don’t think it […]

Subway | Carmel, IN

Subway Pepperoni Flatizza

Despite the fact that they annoyingly call it Flatizza, I felt obligated to try this offering at Subway since they are technically the world’s largest restaurant chain that serves pizza.  I went in with fairly low expectations, and I would say those were appropriately set.  My pepperoni “Flatizza” had a somewhat tough crust, and the sauce tasted […]

Blaze Pizza | Carmel, IN

Blaze Pizza_Sausage and Pepperoni Pizza

Blaze Pizza offers a new and unique take on the pizza-ordering experience, and I think their fast, highly personalized approach will only continue to gain in popularity.  While they have some signature pizzas, Blaze is most known for their “build your own” option that allows patrons to follow their pizzas through the preparation process and add […]

The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery | Charlotte, NC

The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery_Butchers Block Pizza

I stumbled upon something pretty special in The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery…a German brewery and biergarten that happens to serve pizza!  I could have thought they tried to have too many different things going on in one restaurant (especially when I saw a yoga class going on the biergarten), but I was just pumped to have many of my favorite […]

Wise Pies Pizza & Subs | Terre Haute, IN

Wise Pies Pizza & Subs_Pepperoni and Carnivore Slices

Wise Pies serves New York-style pizza in Terre Haute, Indiana  They’ll certainly make your choice of pizza from scratch, but I took advantage of their premade pizza by-the-slice option.  If I had more time, I wouldn’t have done this because I’ve seen the reheating of these slices negatively affect the consistency of the crust at many […]
