Space Aliens Grill & Bar | Bismarck, ND

ND - Space Aliens Grill & Bar

All I need to say about Space Aliens Grill & Bar is that their food is out of this world! (get it?) In all seriousness, their fire roasted pizza was pretty good, although perhaps not the best in the entire universe as they claim. I tried the Perfect Pepperoni from Pluto pizza, and I enjoyed […]

Southend Brewery and Smokehouse | Charleston, SC

SC - Southend Brewery and Smokehouse

Southend Brewery is a nice microbrewery and restaurant in dowtown Charleston just one block from the harbor. Their menu is full of appetizing lowcountry American cuisine beyond the pizza, and, while I would have loved to try some of their other food as well, the pizza was very good. Their pizza dough is made daily […]

Monza | Charleston, SC

SC - Monza_P83

  This restaurant is named after Monza, the city in Italy that is most famous for its Grand Prix motor racing circuit, the Autodromo Nazionale Monza. Following is information from Monza’s website in regards to how they stay true to the Neopolitan style of pizza from that region: “Our dough is made using imported San […]

Pizzeria di Giovanni | Charleston, SC

SC - Pizzeria di Giovanni

Pizzeria di Giovanni was recommended to me by our tour guide in Charleston, and I believe it was a very good recommendation. Although, in the interest of full disclosure, I should point out that our tour guide was leading us on a pub tour, and I ate this pizza after the tour was completed. Therefore, […]

Jim’s Razorback Pizza | Fort Smith, AR

AR - Jim's Razorback Pizza

Jim’s Razorback Pizza has been in business for over thirty years and has twenty-one locations across Arkansas. Those facts along with a local’s recommendation convinced me to try Jim’s Razorback Pizza. I had pepperoni on their thin crust (they also offer pan crust) along with Razor Sticks with cheese (basically a fun name for cheesy […]

Garlic Jim’s | Lakewood, WA

WA - Garlic Jim's

Garlic Jim’s Famous Gourmet Pizza has locations in five western states, and I tried one in Lakewood, Washington just outside of Tacoma. I believe they only offer delivery or carryout and their niche is gourment pizza delivery, and being a lover of all things garlic, the restaurant name alone was all the motivation I needed […]

Pizzeria | Clearfield, UT

UT - Pizzeria

Pizzeria is located just off of Interstate 15 in Clearfield, just a few towns north of Salt Lake City. The building has the Pizzeria on one side and a bar on the other, so that pizza can be ordered at the bar, and drinks from the bar can be served at the Pizzeria. This was […]

Roosters Brewing Company | Ogden, UT

UT - Roosters Brewing Company

Roosters Brewing Company is a restaurant and microbrewery with locations in Ogden and Layton, Utah. I visted the location on historic 25th Street in downtown Ogden. The restaurant consists of an old two-story building as well as a glassed-in patio where I enjoyed my margherita pizza for lunch. The pizza had three different kinds of tomatoes and […]

Totino’s Extremo!

Tostino's Extremo_The Finished Product

If you have ever had a Totino’s frozen pizza, you likely found it to be somewhat lacking or totally void of flavor (you certainly can’t complain for the price though). Well, luckily some entrepreneurial spirits have found a solution, and that solution is something they like to call “Totino’s Extremo.” Totino’s Extremo consists of two […]

Chicago Pizzeria Rankings

Chicago Pizzerias

You may have noticed that I visited four of Chicago’s finest pizzerias in the brief span of two days recently. This was certainly a challenge, but I did it all for you, the loyal followers of The Pizza Fan (thanks Mom). I was hoping to come away from this pizzalicious trip with a clear-cut winner […]
