Jake’s Pizza Review | Willmar, MN

Jakes Pizza_Cardinal Special (Pepperoni, Hamburger, Green Olives)

Jake’s Pizza has been serving the town of Willmar, Minnesota for about forty years, and, after eating there, I am convinced they will still be a favorite of the locals in another forty years.  I did some online research before heading to Willmar allowing me to already be fairly confident that Jake’s was the one place I had […]

Oley’s Pizza Review | Fort Wayne, IN

Oley's Pizza_Pepperoni Double Crust Pizza

Oley’s Pizza has two restaurants in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and I ate at the one on the southwest side of town.  This location is in a small, less-than-spectacular-looking strip mall that offers limited signage indicating it houses a great pizzeria.  However, I quickly realized the facade is deceiving when I entered and found a packed house on […]

Al’s Pizza & Subs Review | Knox, IN

Al's Pizza & Subs_Pepperoni, Sausage, and Italian Sausage Pizza

Al’s Pizza & Subs is fairly new to Knox, Indiana, but it now joins the ranks of some great pizza places in this small town in my opinion. I know some Chicagoans claim the secret to their pizza is the tap water, and mabye that is true for the northwestern-Indiana town of Knox as well. There […]

Kona Grill Review | Carmel, IN

Kona Grill_Pepperoni Pizza

Kona Grill in Carmel, Indiana is located within Clay Terrace, an outdoor shopping mall, and they also currently have locations within fifteen other states.  Kona Grill is most well-known for their sushi, but I appreciate that they serve pizza, sandwiches, and other dishes as well.  Being that I am in fact The Pizza Fan, and not The Sushi […]

Finch’s Brasserie Review | Bloomington, IN

Finch's Brasserie_The Roman Pizza

Finch’s Brasserie is located on Kirkwood Avenue in Bloomington, Indiana in the block between two staples of Indiana University; the Sample Gates and Nick’s English Hut.  This family-owned restaurant is known for their farm-to-table fresh ingredients and for supporting other local businesses like Smoking Goose Meatery.  They are so focused on fresh ingredients that their […]

Mr. Pizza Review | Los Angeles, CA

Mr Pizza_Sausage and Pepperoni

Mr. Pizza in downtown Los Angeles is located in the Little Tokyo section of town.  As I am not a big fan of Asian food, it certainly stuck out as a solid dining option to me when I was in the area.  Mr. Pizza offers some unique pizza concoctions with non-traditional toppings such as a popular potato […]

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 […]

Antonio’s Review | Parma, OH

Antonio's Restaurant_Sausage and Pepperoni Pizza

Antonio’s Pizza in Parma, Ohio was one of the first pizzerias in the Cleveland area, and it continues to be family-owned and operated with a total of nine locations.  For the first time in the history of this website, I started my meal off with a salad (that’s right, a salad…it was not a typo).  I […]

Luigi’s Restaurant Review | Akron, OH

Luigi's Restaurant_Pizza with Pepperoni, Sausage, Extra Cheese, and Extra Sauce

If the old school atmosphere of Luigi’s Restaurant in Akron, Ohio doesn’t win you over, then their pizza definitely will.  I watched the “Chicago Band Box” perform over their entrance like it has for the past fifty years while I started my meal with their garlic bread with mozzarella.  This appetizer was good, but the […]

La Tana dell’Arte Review | Naples, Italy

La Tana dell'Arte_Naples(Napoli)_Margherita Pizza

I had incredibly high expectations for trying a margherita pizza in its birthplace of Naples, Italy, and the pizza I ate at La Tana dell’Arte Pizzera somehow managed to meet them.  Every element of the pizza was excellent.  The crust was probably one of the best I have ever tasted as it was fairly thin yet […]
