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 Uno | Chicago, IL
The Pizzeria Uno that I visited in downtown Chicago was the birthplace of Chicago-style deep dish pizza, and following is its history as described on Uno’s website: “In 1943, when Ike Sewell opened a restaurant at the corner of Ohio Street and Wabash Avenue in Chicago, Americans ate pizza primarily as a snack. Ike figured […]
Pizza Factory | Payson, AZ
I was unfamiliar with the Pizza Factory when I tried it, despite the fact that it apparently has over 120 locations across five states (Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, and Washington). I visited a location in a strip mall in Payson, AZ as I had been driving from northern Arizona for a couple hours and Payson […]
California Pizza Kitchen | La Jolla, CA
California Pizza Kitchen offers good pizza and many more menu options than their name would imply. I liked that their pizza had a light, fluffy crust, however they aren’t exactly loaded with cheese and toppings. They offer a lot of specialty pizzas (the Meat Cravers pizza that someone I was with had is pictured below), […]
Round Table Pizza | Woodland, CA
Roundtable Pizza is a chain throughout most of the west coast. I enjoyed the ham and bacon pizza I ordered as the toppings were excellent. I tried the original crust which was pretty good but not too special. They also offer pan and skinny crusts though. Some of their locations, this one included, have all-you-can-eat […]
Hungry Howie’s | Indianapolis, IN
Hungry Howie’s has pretty good flavored crust options (sesame, cajun, butter cheese, butter, ranch, garlic herb, onion, and original) at no extra charge as they claim to be “home of hte flavored crust.” Their pizza is decent but not great, and the crust is probably the highlight. I also tried their breadsticks, or “Howie Bread”, […]
Villa Pizza | Las Vegas, NV
Villa Pizza is a typical New York-style food court pizza place similar to Sbarro. I do think that Villa Pizza might have a little more cheese and an airier crust though. Their garlic rolls are definitely worth having. The Villa Pizza is ate at is located in the C Terminal of the Las Vegas McCarren […]
