Old Chicago restaurants are scattered around the country, but, not surprisingly, they are most prevalent near Chicago. The selection on their menu is as vast as their geographic coverage, and they offer appetizers, salads, wings, sandwiches, burgers, pasta, and calzones. Lastly, if it wasn’t obvious by their full name, they also have a large selection […]
Aurelio’s Pizza | Fishers, IN
Aurelio’s Pizza has an impressive history, and I’m very excited that they have finally made their way to central Indiana by opening a store in Fishers in 2016. Aurelio’s was started by Joe Aurelio in Homewood, Illinois in 1959, and it remains run by the Aurelio family to this day. It was actually the first Chicago pizzeria […]
Godfather’s Pizza | Iraan, TX
Godfather’s Pizza started in Omaha, Nebraska, and it seems they are most prevalent in the surrounding areas. Still, they have restaurants across the country – from Alaska to Florida. Their stores vary from standalone restaurants to express locations, which are typically attached to gas stations. I visited an express one in Iraan, Texas that was with a gas […]
Pie Five | Indianapolis, IN
Pie Five strives to serve customized personal pizzas featuring fresh ingredients as quickly as possible. Even their fountain drink machine fits the customization theme as it is one of the Coke machines that allows you to come up with almost any soda concoction. Pie Five’s recent entry into downtown Indianapolis is a restaurant that occupies an old bakery building, complete with […]
Little Caesars | Westfield, IN
With the proper limited expectations, I think you can be satisfied with the pizza you get from Little Caesars given the price. I was able to get a HOT-N-READY pepperoni pizza, a HOT-N-READY sausage pizza, and two orders of their Crazy Bread for slightly less than $20. Being able to comfortably feed four adults for […]
Subway | Carmel, IN
Despite the fact that they annoyingly call it Flatizza, I felt obligated to try this offering at Subway since they are technically the world’s largest restaurant chain that serves pizza. I went in with fairly low expectations, and I would say those were appropriately set. My pepperoni “Flatizza” had a somewhat tough crust, and the sauce tasted […]
The Cheesecake Factory | Indianapolis, IN
The Cheesecake Factory in the Keystone Fashion Mall on Indy’s north side must be doing something right because they are always busy, and I give them credit for having quick service despite the crowds. Part of their draw may be that they have something for everyone with one of the biggest menus I have ever seen. […]
Chuck E. Cheese’s | Indianapolis, IN
The fact that I visited a Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant with other grown men should help show that I will leave no stone unturned in my search for the best pizza. While it probably won’t be winning any awards soon, their pizza was pretty decent and was certainly better than I expected. It had a fairly […]
Jake’s Pizza Review | Willmar, MN
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 […]
