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 […]
Fox & Hound | Carmel, IN
Fox & Hound makes decent flatbread pizza, but their other bar food is more popular. Their platter appetizer with wings, pretzels, mozzarella sticks, and potato skins is a great place to start. From there, you can follow up with the pizza, or burgers, sandwiches, chicken, fish, etc. The pizza has a thin crust but is […]

Jet’s Pizza | Carmel, IN
Jet’s Pizza has great pan pizza with options for flavored crust. They also serve traditional crust pizza that I haven’t yet tried, because I can’t turn down garlic-flavored pan crust.

CiCi’s Pizza
4/4/2013 Update – Many Cici’s locations, including the one I visited in Kokomo, have closed over the past few years. I don’t know if they ever took my recommendation to bring back their cheesy garlic bread as there are no longer any locations close to me. I always found the cheesy garlic bread to be the highlight of Cici’s […]
Papa John’s | Carmel, IN
I would say Papa John’s does a good job of having fresh-tasting pizzas as compared to their large chain competitors. I think the garlic dipping sauce is a nice touch as their standard crust isn’t too flavorful otherwise. They do offer thin crust as well, but then you lose out on the garlic dipping sauce. […]
Maggiano’s Little Italy | Indianapolis, IN
Maggiano’s is a nice restaurant that my wife often forces me to take her to. I would just not recommend going there if you are in the mood for pizza. It is one of the fancier types of Italian restaurants where you can only find flatbread pizza on the appetizer menu. I personally feel that flatbreads can often […]
