Domenica_Calabrese Pizza

While in New Orleans, Louisiana for a trade show with some work colleagues, I searched online for the best pizza in the city, and Domenica was the most consistent result I got back.  I didn’t have much time to research, so I trusted that the internet is never wrong and made reservations at Domenica for our […]

Take and Bake Pizza Reviews

Take and Bake Pizza Reviews - Costco Pepperoni before cooking

 As take and bake pizzas continue to gain in popularity, I felt it to be my duty to review three common options available throughout most of the country: Walmart, Papa Murphy’s, and Costco.  Below are brief reviews and pictures of each followed by my recommendation for the best take and bake pizza of the three (teaser: it is probably not […]

Pearl Street Pizzeria & Pub Review | Indianapolis, IN

Pearl Street Pizzeria & Pub_Margherita Pizza

Pearl Street Pizzeria & Pub in Indianapolis, Indiana can truly be considered a hidden gem as it is incredibly easy to miss unless you are really looking for it.  Some websites actually have its address as being on Pennsylvania Street, but it is on Pearl Street, which is really more of just an alley off […]

The Original Impellizzeri’s Pizza Review | Louisville, KY

Impellizzeri's Pizza_Pepperoni Pizza

The Original Impellizzeri’s Pizza was started in 1979, and they now have three locations in Louisville.  I ate at their Highlands location on Bardstown Road which is the site of their first restaurant, so I guess you could say that I was lucky enough to eat at the original Original Impellizzeri’s Pizza.  They serve a full menu of […]

Ruckus Pizza Review | Raleigh, NC

Ruckus Pizza_Sausage and Pepperoni slices

Ruckus Pizza has three locations in North Carolina, and I ate at the one in Raleigh near North Carolina State University’s campus.  While some of the pictures on their website indicate a family dining atmosphere, I would caution that the Ruckus in Raleigh offers more of a late night sports bar theme.   This is not meant to be a negative comment as […]

Pepper’s Pizza Review | Chapel Hill, NC

Pepper's Pizza_BBQ Pork and Extra Cheese and Pepperoni Slices

Pepper’s Pizza is located on Franklin Street at the edge of the University of North Carolina’s campus in Chapel Hill.  This area of Franklin Street appears to be home to a fairly popular strip of restaurants and shops.  Pepper’s itself has a somewhat narrow storefront, but the inside of it is pretty deep with plenty of seating.  For sports […]

Big Mike’s Cafe Review | Indianapolis, IN

Big Mike's Cafe Americana_The Team G Pizza

Big Mike’s Cafe Americana is a family-owned restaurant located in an unassuming strip mall off of College Avenue on the far north side of Indianapolis.  I wasn’t sure what to expect for the interior of Big Mike’s given its location in an older-looking strip mall, but I was pleasantly surprised upon entering.  More importantly, my wife approved of […]

Annie’s Paramount Steak & Seafood House Review | Grasonville, MD

Annie's Paramount Steak & Seafood House_Crab Pizza

Annie’s Paramount Steak & Seafood House is a nice restaurant located off of a marina in Grasonville, Maryland.  Annie’s offers a good view and lots of items on the menu.  It is not really a pizza place, but, since they have a crab pizza on the menu as an appetizer, I felt obliged to try a Maryland-themed […]

Anthony’s XIV Pizza Review | Marshall, VA

Anthony's XIV Pizza_Pepperoni and Bacon Pizza

I was very excited to get to eat at Anthony’s XIV Pizza in Marshall, Virginia as that is where my cousin works – proving that a love for pizza runs in my family’s blood.  They have some dine-in area but mostly serve carry-out and delivery, and, if you get it delivered, you may be lucky enough to receive your […]

Wasena City Tap Room and Grill Review | Roanoke, VA

Wasena City Tap Room_Cheese Pizza

Wasena City Tap Room and Grill, which boasts over thirty beers on tap, recently opened in Roanoke, Virginia.  Their diverse menu includes burgers, tacos, and more, and I settled on a basic cheese pizza.  Wasena City Tap Room’s pizzas are handtossed from their homemade dough, covered with their homemade marina sauce and baked in a stone hearth.  […]
