Milwaukee, OR – Pietro’s Pizza

I’m all about old-timey and garish. The outside of Pietro’s fits the latter, the inside the former. Almost as old as I am, Pietro’s has been serving pizza to Oregonians for over 60 years, and is constantly at the top of most local favorite lists. Having noticed its list ranking, not having tried it, and… Continue reading Milwaukee, OR – Pietro’s Pizza

Tukwila, WA – Galliano’s Cucina

Out with some business colleagues for lunch the other day, this is a regular haunt of said colleagues, close to their office.  Galliano’s  in the “fast casual’ category with table service, counter ordering.

Home Cookin’ Test – Newman’s Own Uncured Pepperoni Pizza

Seems to me (and I could be wrong, usually am) that Newman’s own product launches have picked up since the founder’s passing.  No matter, just an observation.  Today I took a look at their “All Natural Ingredient” “Uncured Pepperoni” “Thin and Crispy” pie. At $6.99 at my local Safeway, for a 13.2 oz pizza, Newman’s Own… Continue reading Home Cookin’ Test – Newman’s Own Uncured Pepperoni Pizza

We split the Gilliano’s Special, Canadian Bacon, salami, pepperoni, sausage and extra cheese, and were quite satisfied.  The crust is medium thickness, buttery… Continue reading Woodland, WA – Gilliano’s Pizza and Ice Cream Parlor

Renton, WA – Vince’s Italian Kitchen

I’ve had awfully “good luck” ordering from d-dish.com in Portland, one of those restaurant home delivery marketing companies. Delivered Dish signs up restaurants, supplies back end ordering/menu software, and arranges delivery of restaurant menu items direct to your house for a small fee. Most large cities have a similar service, and on a business trip… Continue reading Renton, WA – Vince’s Italian Kitchen
