BoomBozz Review | Carmel, IN

BoomBozz Pizza_Ham and Bacon

  The BoomBozz Taphouse location I visited just recently opened in Carmel, Indiana and there is also a location in Gilbert, Arizona as well as four in Louisville, Kentucky where Famous BoomBozz Pizza started.   My meal began with pretzels and beer cheese which were incredibly good.  My tip is to save their house made beer cheese to dip your crust into […]

Macaroni Grill Review | Carmel, IN

Romano's Macaroni Grill - Pepperoni Pizza

Romano’s Macaroni Grill is an Italian restaurant chain with locations throughout most of the United States, and I dined at the one in Carmel, Indiana. Like many Italian restaurants, Macaroni Grill starts you out with very good fresh bread and olive oil. We followed that up with their Mac & Cheese Bites appetizer which consisted […]

Hound Dog’s Pizza Review | Columbus, OH

Hound Dog's Pizza - Pepperoni and Sausage

Hound Dog’s 3 Degree Pizza is on the edge of Ohio State University’s campus in Columbus, Ohio. I found the front entrance on High Street is easy to miss, but there is parking in the rear on Dodridge Street (that is where the picture of the outside below was taken). It is a very large […]

Moe & Johnny’s Review | Indianapolis, IN

Moe & Johnny's Pizza

Moe & Johnny’s is a restaurant near Butler University in Indianapolis that actually consists of a bar, dining room, and coffee shop all in one location (formerly separate).  I ate in the dining room room which actually used to be a gas station, and you can even tell the windows used to be garage doors.  […]

Adriatico’s Review | Columbus, OH

Adriatico's Pepperoni Pizza

Adriatico’s New York Style Pizza offers delicious pies on the campus of Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. The pizza I tried was Sicilian-style (fairly thick) and thin crust is also offered at Adriatico’s. I greatly enjoyed my pepperoni pizza with the sauce and buttery crust being particularly good. The large we ordered was enough […]

Moon Dog Tavern Review | Indianapolis, IN

Moon Dog Tavern_Indianapolis, IN_Sausage and Pepperoni Pizza

Moon Dog Tavern is a bar in the northside of Indianapolis that often features live music.  They offer a broad menu that includes appetizers, sandwichs, wraps, salads, and burgers.  I obviously had to try their pizza though, and I was pretty impressed with it considering it came from a bar kitchen that offers such a wide […]

Betta's Italian Oven_Margherita Pizza

Betta’s Italian Oven is a popular restaurant in the Cincinnati area just outside of Xavier University’s campus. Betta’s is family owned and operated and strives to mimic the finest pizzerias of Napoli using their wood-fired oven for traditional Italian pizzas. I started with their bruschetta (pictured below), which I really enjoyed and would recommend. For my […]

Jockamo Pizza Review | Indianapolis, IN

Jockamo Pizza_Slaughterhouse Five Pizza

Jockamo Upper Crust Pizza is known as one of the better pizza parlors in central Indiana, and I believe my trip to the eastside to give it a try was well worth it (they also have a location Greenwood).  I started with some breadsticks (pictured below) which were okay but nothing too special, although I did enjoy […]

A Brief History of Pizza Hut

2011-11-16_11-24-26_808

I was recently in Wichita, Kansas, where Pizza Hut was founded, so I thought I should take a moment to share what I learned about perhaps the nation’s most recognizable pizza brand.  Brothers Dan and Frank Carney borrowed $600 to finance their pizza dreams, and the first Pizza Hut opened in Wichita on May 31, […]
