Red Dog Saloon | Juneau, AK

North Slope Pizza

I tried the North Slope Pizza with reindeer sausage.  The crust was good, with a crispy bottom.  The sauce was not heavy or overpowering.  The sausage was cut into tiny pieces.  Overall, it was pretty good for a personal pizza. What I Ate: North Slope Pizza Rating: 8.0/10 Red Dog Saloon 278 S. Franklin Street […]

Brother Doug’s Pizza Cafe | Fishers, IN

Sausage and Pepperoni Pizza, Sausage and Seasoned Pizza, and Cheese Strips

If you like small, family-owned and operated pizzerias, then Brother Doug’s Pizza is for you.  It offers the great qualities you’d expect of such an establishment, with friendly service and community involvement being the most obvious ones.  Brother Doug provided a great example of his community involvement during my visit by providing us with pink cookies to […]

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 […]

St. Johnsbury House of Pizza | St. Johnsbury, VT

Sausage and Pepperoni

In northeastern Vermont, the moose crossing signs are a dead giveaway that St. Johnsbury is close to Canada.  Plus, one of the town’s claims to fame is having the largest packer of pure maple syrup in the US.  I doubt they’re known for their pizza, but I still had to try the place proclaiming to be the Northeast Kingdom’s […]

Blue Pan Pizza | Denver, CO

Brooklyn Bridge

Oddly enough, Blue Pan Pizza’s Detroit-style offering represents the second Midwestern regional style that I’ve had around the Mile High City (City Pizza & Pasta’s St. Louis-style pizzas was the first).  Not longing to visit Detroit, I am very happy that my Denver hosts – Gordon and Andrea – did their research and took me […]

Pasta Jay’s | Boulder, CO

Margherita Pizza

Pasta Jay’s is off of the famous Pearl Street in Boulder, Colorado.  It is essentially part of the restaurants and shops that make up the outdoor Pearl Street Mall.  However, Pearl Street does open back up to traffic in front of Pasta Jay’s instead of being walking only, so it is likely technically considered to be just outside of it to the West.  Pasta Jay’s also has […]

Graziano’s Pizza | Dunbar, WV

Storefront

Graziano’s Pizza in Dunbar, West Virginia might not wow you with its location – a small strip mall next to a gas station.  And, you might not be overwhelmed with its atmosphere – an ordering and dining setup like that of a fast food chain.  However, I think you will appreciate their friendly staff and large menu. In an […]

Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom | Champaign, IL

Individual Meat Me Pizza

Old Chicago restaurants are scattered around the country, but, not surprisingly, they are most prevalent near Chicago.  The selection on their menu is as vast as their geographic coverage, and they offer appetizers, salads, wings, sandwiches, burgers, pasta, and calzones.  Lastly, if it wasn’t obvious by their full name, they also have a large selection […]

Pandora’s Pies | Elon, NC

NY State of Mind Pizza

Situated just beside the nice campus of Elon College, is a good pizza place called Pandora’s Pies.   I imagine their pizza is quite popular with the students.  They also serve ice cream that probably helps them to stay busy during the summer months when there are less students.  I don’t know what more you could want beyond pizza […]

Villa Nova Pizzeria | New Buffalo, MI

Cheese Pizza

Villa Nova Pizzeria of New Buffalo, Michigan is not your standard beach town pizzeria.  In fact, their recipe comes from the daughter of a Sicilian immigrant who brought Sicilian-style pizza to Stickney, Illinois in the 1950s.  I’m not sure how long the New Buffalo location has been in operation, but I hope it stays around awhile […]
