BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse Review | Shenandoah, TX

BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse_Gourmet Five Meat Deep Dish Pizza 1

BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse has locations in fifteen different states with the majority being in California and Texas, and I visited one in The Woodlands/Shenandoah just north of Houston, Texas.  They have some televisions and a bar but still offer a pretty nice sit-down restaurant atmosphere.  They serve a very large menu that starts out with a […]

Amore Pizzeria_Pepperoni Pizza Slice

Amore Pizzeria’s New York-style pizza has been voted the best pizza in Zionsville, Indiana by the “Zionsville Times Sentinal.”  They have New York-style pies made up at all times so that you can order by the slice, plus Amore Pizzeria has ample seating room to sit down and order your very own pizza, calzone, pasta, or […]

Mike’s Italian Grill Review | Kokomo, IN

Mike's Italian Grill_Pan Crust Sausage and Pepperoni Pizza

Mike’s Italian Grill in Kokomo, Indiana offers a variety of food, but I believe they are best known for their pizza.  Mike’s seems to do an excellent job of going above and beyond with the little things to ensure you have a pleasureable dining experience.  A couple of these things that stood out to me were […]

Pitfire Pizza Review | Los Angeles, CA

Pitfire Pizza_Pitfire Sausage

Pitfire Pizza has a few locations in the Los Angeles area, and I stopped in at their downtown Los Angeles restaurant.  I started with their breadsticks (pictured below) which had a little bit of cheese on them and were very good.  My group then sampled three different pizzas, the pitfire sausage minus red onions (pictured […]

Toppers Review | Carmel, IN

Toppers - Ultimate Pepperoni Topper

Toppers Pizza just opened a new location in Carmel, Indiana off of Carmel Drive in between Pennsylvania and Meridian Streets.  They had some fun giveaways on their opening day, including free food for a year to the first fifty people in line, and some of their pizzas, such as the Mac ‘N Cheese, further show their […]

MacKenzie River Pizza Company | Helena, MT

MT - MacKenzie River Pizza Company

MacKenzie River Pizza Company started in and is based in Montana but has expanded to have locations in Idaha, Washington, and Indiana.  They offer a lot of interesting specialty pizzas along with soups, salads, sandwiches, pasta, and some other entrées that vary by location.  They have some appetizer options as well, and I enjoyed their lodgepoles […]

Pizza Ranch | Willmar, MN

MN - Pizza Ranch

The Pizza Ranch has grown to become a popular chain in the great plains and western midwest states since first opening in Hull, Iowa in 1981. They currently have locations in Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. I believe most of their restaurants offer lunch (11am-1:30pm) and dinner (5-8pm) […]

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 […]

Garlic Jim’s | Lakewood, WA

WA - Garlic Jim's

Garlic Jim’s Famous Gourmet Pizza has locations in five western states, and I tried one in Lakewood, Washington just outside of Tacoma. I believe they only offer delivery or carryout and their niche is gourment pizza delivery, and being a lover of all things garlic, the restaurant name alone was all the motivation I needed […]
