Red Dog Saloon | Juneau, AK

North Slope Pizza

I tried the North Slope Pizza with reindeer sausage.  The crust was good, with a crispy bottom.  The sauce was not heavy or overpowering.  The sausage was cut into tiny pieces.  Overall, it was pretty good for a personal pizza. What I Ate: North Slope Pizza Rating: 8.0/10 Red Dog Saloon 278 S. Franklin Street […]

Aurelio’s Pizza | Fishers, IN

10" #12 (Sausage and Pepperoni)

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 […]

Due Forni Pizza & Wine | Austin, TX

Storefront

While it can be hard to stray from the delicious BBQ in Texas, Due Forni offers a nice alternative in the heart of downtown Austin.  And, if you simply cannot step away from the brisket there, then Due Forni also has a location Las Vegas (because there are such limited food options there, right?).  The thing that makes Due […]

Santarpio’s Pizza | Boston, MA

Sausage and Pepperoni

Close to the airport, in an East Boston neighborhood, Santarpio’s Pizza definitely has the feel of well established local joint – thick accents and all.  The reason Santarpio’s has been in business since 1903 is that they are widely considered to make some of the best pizza in Boston.  In fact, they are a multiple time winner of Boston […]

Blaze Pizza | Carmel, IN

Blaze Pizza_Sausage and Pepperoni Pizza

Blaze Pizza offers a new and unique take on the pizza-ordering experience, and I think their fast, highly personalized approach will only continue to gain in popularity.  While they have some signature pizzas, Blaze is most known for their “build your own” option that allows patrons to follow their pizzas through the preparation process and add […]

M Wood Fired Oven | Cincinnati, OH

M Wood Fired Oven_Pepperoni Pizza

M Wood Fired Oven is in a small strip of restaurants and shops in the Hyde Park/Mount Lookout area of Cincinnati, and, thankfully, there is more detail and creativity in their pizzas than in their simplistic name.  I was not previously familiar with M, and it was not very fun trying to find a parking spot in the […]

Sparta’s Pizza and Spaghetti House | Lynnwood, WA

Sparta's Pizza and Spaghetti House_Italian Salami, Pepperoni, and Canadian Bacon Pizza (#19)

Sparta’s Pizza and Spaghetti House has locations in Lynnwood and Bothel, Washington, and the one in Lynnwood boldly claims to offer the “Best Pizza in the Universe.”  I am not sure we even have enough scientific evidence to test such a proclamation, but I did enjoy their pizza.  Sparta’s pizza looked different than any I can […]
