Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom | Champaign, IL

Individual Meat Me Pizza

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 […]

Brixx Wood Fired Pizza | Fishers, IN

Bronx Bomber

Brixx Wood Fired Pizza appears to be built around two fundamentals that should have them destined for great success: good pizza and a nice craft beer selection.  Not that it’s necessary, but they actually have some food beyond pizza as well.  To sample something else before the pizza, I did try their bruschetta.  It was pretty good, but it […]

Broad Ripple Brewpub | Indianapolis, IN

Sausage and Pepperoni Pizza

Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2015, Broad Ripple Brewpub is known as Indiana’s first brewpub.  The Brewpub looks like a typical English pub on the inside with dark wood paneling, a tin ceiling, and even a fireplace.  Plus, it has a large patio that can seat up to seventy people during nice weather.  Broad Ripple Brewpub has […]

Village Tavern | Winston-Salem, NC

Margherita Flatbread

Village Tavern is a popular spot in Winston-Salem, and they have other locations across a few states and even the Philippines as well.  Part of the popularity must come from the incredibly wide range of options on their menu.  I believe they are most known for their burgers and steaks, but there is probably something wrong […]

Eno Pizzeria & Wine Bar | Coronado, CA

Ocean View from Hotel Del Coronado

Although it certainly factors into the price of their pizzas, it is hard to beat the location of Eno Pizzeria & Wine Bar within the famous Hotel Del Coronado of Coronado Island in San Diego County.  The Hotel Del Coronado, or “The Del” as it is often called, is a very luxious resort that has been […]

M. Mogger’s Restaurant & Pub | Terre Haute, IN

Mogger Meat-ta Pizza

M. Mogger’s Restaurant & Pub is in the very cool E. Bleemel Building, which previously housed M. Mogger’s Brewery in the mid-1800s.  The atmosphere within M. Mogger’s Restaurant & Pub retains a lot of that older charm, complete with some antique brewing equipment.  Staying true to the building’s brewing roots, they also boast an excellent […]

The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery | Charlotte, NC

The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery_Butchers Block Pizza

I stumbled upon something pretty special in The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery…a German brewery and biergarten that happens to serve pizza!  I could have thought they tried to have too many different things going on in one restaurant (especially when I saw a yoga class going on the biergarten), but I was just pumped to have many of my favorite […]

Giovanni’s Italian Restaurant | San Diego, CA

Giovanni's in San Diego_Sausage and Pepperoni Pizza

It could have been because I hadn’t eaten in about ten hours, but the food from Giovanni’s Italian Restaurant exceeded my expectations.  Granted my expectations typically aren’t very high for a pizza delivery place recommended by the hotel front desk, but the Giovanni’s location in the Kearny Mesa-area of San Diego really delivered (pun intended).  First, I […]

Jake’s Beach House | Monticello, IN

Jake's Beach House_Sausage and Pepperoni Pizza with Mushroom on Half

Typically, I wouldn’t expect really good pizza from a restaurant that you can access via boat in Indiana, but Jake’s Beach House on Lake Shafer in Monticello is an exception.  The reason?  They get all of their ingredients from Pizza King.  I ordered a pizza with pepperoni, sausage, and mushrooms per the recommendation of a Pizza […]

Camden House of Pizza | Camden, ME

Camden House of Pizza_Small Half Pepperoni and Half Cheese

Camden is a neat seaside town in Maine, and it’s small enough that I believe I can list all of the pizza options in its downtown/harbor-area: Camden House of Pizza – the only place that specializes in pizza Cuzzy’s – a restaurant/bar that serves brick oven pizza all day Smokestack Grill – a restaurant/sports bar […]
