Gino’s East is one of Chicago’s best known pizzerias, and I believe their reputation is well-deserved. I enjoyed their cheesy pizza bread appetizer, and I especially enjoyed their sausage deep dish pizza. But this wasn’t just any sausage pizza, Gino’s East offers the option of traditional sausage chunks or a sausage patty that covers the […]
Lou Malnati’s is one of Chicago’s well-known pizzerias, and therefore I greatly enjoyed the opportunity to be able to dine at its Lincoln Park location. Lou Malnati’s first opened its doors in Lincolnwood in 1971, and they now have thirty-two locations across the Chicagoland area. I obviously had to have a Chicago-syle deep dish pizza, […]
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 […]
I visited Mazzio’s Italian Eatery for their lunch buffet and was very impressed by the selection. It started with a pretty good looking salad bar. I, of course, skipped this portion of the buffet, but it did seem to offer all of the delicious unhealthy toppings that make salad tolerable. Additionally, they had two more […]
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), […]
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 […]
Sbarro is located in food courts across the nation as well as a few other countries. The location I visited was next to the convention center in Anaheim and only blocks away from Disneyland. Sbarro serves an average New York-style pizza as well as a few other items. While it certainly isn’t the best pizza […]
4/3/2013 Update – Unfortunately, the Carrabba’s in Carmel closed a little while ago. They do still have Indiana locations in Mishawaka and Southport as well restaurants in thirty-one other states though. Carrabba’s Italian Grill gets The Pizza Fan’s recommendation for a quality date restaurant where you can still get good pizza. I think Carrabba’s can help […]
I think Domino’s Pizza did a great job making their crust better when they went through their upgrade; it has some butter and seasoning that makes it pretty good. I think everything else tastes fairly similar, but as long as their prices stay the same then Domino’s is a great option for a decent tasting […]
4/3/2013 Update – Unfortunately, the Pizza Hut at 1344 South Rangeline Road in Carmel that offered the buffet has closed. However, they do still have a carryout and delivery location at 705 South Rangeline Road in Carmel. The closest Pizza Hut restaurants with dine-in options and the lunch buffet are in Indianapolis, Fishers, and Noblesville. […]
