Upon arriving for a stay at the Thompson Chicago on the corner of Bellevue and Rush, I was happy to hear the concierge tell us that we had three solid nearby pizza options in Lou Malnati’s, Pizano’s, and Connie’s. I already knew that I would greatly enjoy Lou Malnati’s and Pizano’s based on previous experiences. However, we were already […]
Pizzeria Napoletana (within Caffe Vita) | Seattle, WA
Pizzeria Napoletana is located within Caffe Vita in the Pioneer Square area of downtown Seattle. One might not expect a pizza place in the corner of a café to be very good, but Pizzeria Napoletana disproves that. While they only serve wood-fired pizzas from 11 am to 5 pm, it is definitely worth trying one if you can make […]
Pizza Port | Carlsbad, CA
Pizza Port is a really cool pizzeria and brewery with multiple locations in the San Diego area. It actually started as a pizza place and craft-brewed beers were added a little later, after one of the owners had success when dabbling in home brewing. Don’t let that fool you into thinking their beers are just […]
Otto Pizza | Portland, ME
Otto Pizza sticks to what they do best…pizza. So, don’t go there hoping to get anything else except for a possible starter salad or dessert for after your pizza. They do have beer and wine to accompany your pizza though. Otto Pizza has a few locations in Portland, Maine, as well some in Massachusetts, and I liked the […]
V’s Pizza & Pasta | CLOSED
I had been hearing good things about V’s Pizza & Pasta since they opened in Noblesville in January of 2014, so I was excited to check them out for myself. They were very friendly and informative when I called in my order, but my enthusiasm dwindled slightly when I pulled into their parking lot and saw […]
Mama Romano’s Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria | Orlando, FL
Mama Romano’s Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria has much better food than you might assume by its location in a strip mall in southern Orlando, not far from the airport. They also have a large menu that includes beer and wine and even expands beyond traditional Italian food and into chicken wings. They have a lot of appetizers, and I […]
Bennidito’s Pizza | Spokane, WA
Bennidito’s Pizza in Spokane has a cool vibe, and I would describe it as a cross between a trendy pizza place and a sports bar. It has a fun atmosphere inside, and I think it would be even better to dine there during good weather because they even have a nice patio outside. One thing that definitely helped […]
Filippi’s Pizza Grotto | San Diego, CA
Filippi’s Pizza Grotto has been serving San Diego for over fifty years, and they now have fourteen restaurants in the area. I dined at the one in the Scripps Ranch region of San Diego, which is northeast of downtown. I was pleasantly surprised as soon as I walked in because the inside of this Filippi’s had […]
Jimmy Stix | Carmel, IN
Jimmy Stix is a new family-owned pizzeria in Carmel, Indiana. The owner previously owned Wise Guy’s Pizzeria but has since sold it in order to open up Jimmy Stix. They have a friendly staff and a broad menu that features salads, wings, subs, calzones, pasta, and pizza. They also serve their namesake “Jimmy Stix” as a starter, and […]
