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 […]

Black Thorn Pub & Pizza | St. Louis, MO

MO - Black Thorn Pub & Pizza

Black Thorn Pub & Pizza is somewhat of a hidden gem of pizzerias, and I only knew of it thanks to someone that lives in the area. It is tucked away in a neat older neighborhood in southern St. Louis, and is well known to the locals for its Chicago-style pizza. They also offer thin […]

Mazzio’s Italian Eatery | Enid, OK

OK - Mazzio's Italian Eatery

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 | La Jolla, CA

CA - California Pizza Kitchen

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 | Las Vegas, NV

Villa_PizzaReview

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 | Anaheim, CA

Sbarro_Pizza

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 […]

Carrabba’s Italian Grill | CLOSED

Carrabba's Italian Grill_Pizza_Review

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 […]

Domino’s Pizza | Westfield, IN

Domino's Pizza_Review_Westfield

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 […]

Pizza Hut | Carmel, IN

Pizza Hut_Buffet

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. […]

Buca di Beppo | Indianapolis, IN

Buca di Beppo_Indianapolis_Review

Buca di Beppo is a family-style Italian restaurant. Their pizza was pretty good, but they have other authentic Italian entrees that might be even better.  Their pepperoni pizza features large slices of pepperoni on top of mozzarella and provolone cheese. The crust is thin, and probably prepared in a coal oven, or the taste gives that […]
