Pizza 317 | Carmel, IN

Outside

Pizza 317 is a new addition to the northeast Carmel pizza scene.  I imagine most of its business is delivery or carryout, but it does have some limited seating as well. Most of the items on the menu at Pizza 317 are named after something relating to central Indiana.  I started with the Colts Cheese […]

Flix Brewhouse | Carmel, IN

Inside Flix Brewhouse

Flix Brewhouse is a movie theater that also prepares their own food and brews their own beer.  Not only will they serve you in the actual theater, but they are also confident enough in their food and beer to offer it in a pub-like area of the lobby, regardless of whether you plan to see a movie there […]

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 […]

Coalition | Carmel, IN

Biaggi’s Ristorante Italiano | Carmel, IN

Biaggi's_Sausage Pizza

Biaggi’s Ristorante Italiano is a chain of nice, yet casual, Italian restaurants that offer soup, salad, pasta, seafood, steak, pizza, and dessert.  I dined at their restaurant in Carmel’s Clay Terrace outdoor mall, and I was impressed by how they classed-up the interior from the bars that were in its location previously.  I was with a group […]

Jimmy Stix | Carmel, IN

Jimmy Stix_Pepperoni and Sausage Sicilian Deep Dish Pizza

Jimmy Stix is a new family-owned pizzeria in Carmel, Indiana.  The owner previously owned Wise Guy’s Pizzeria but has since sold it in order to open up Jimmy Stix.  They have a friendly staff and a broad menu that features salads, wings, subs, calzones, pasta, and pizza.   They also serve their namesake “Jimmy Stix” as a starter, and […]

Matt the Miller’s Tavern Review | Carmel, IN

Matt the Miller's Tavern_Classic Margherita Flatbread

Matt the Miller’s Tavern is located in a new building in the City Center area of Carmel, Indiana at the corner of Rangeline Road and 126th Street, and they also have locations in Grandview and Dublin, Ohio.  Their restaurants have a little bit of something for everyone making them hard to classify, but I would consider them to be an upscale […]

Donatello’s Italian Restaurant Review | Carmel, IN

Donatello's Italian Restaurant_Sausage and Garlic Pizza

  Donatello’s Italian Restaurant is located in Carmel’s Arts & Design Distict and boasts a recently expanded restaurant and menu.  The expansion of their restaurant included adding outdoor dining and a coffee lounge.  However, the most important expansion, to me at least, was adding pizza to their menu.  I would classify Donatello’s food as being […]
