Original Naan Pizza Review

Deep Foods, a New Jersey company founded in 1977, markets prepared, frozen and boxed foods of India and Southeast Asia.  At my local Indian grocery, Patel Brothers, I picked up their Tandoor Baked Cheese Naan Pizza.  Naan is an oven-baked leavened flatbread product, native to SE Asia and the Middle East, kinda similar to pita.… Continue reading Original Naan Pizza Review

Knollas Pizza Review – Wichita, KS

Here’s one of those “best places in town” as touted by local media. I guess when you live in the town that Pizza Hut started, it doesn’t take too much of an effort for people to think you have a “good” pizza. I had been itching to get here, because I had heard about the… Continue reading Knollas Pizza Review – Wichita, KS

Halftime Pizza Review

Yet another Upper Midwest  frozen “tavern pizza,” Halftime was launched out of a popular rural bar an hour NW of Chicago.  If you’re a regular reader here, you know how much I admire small business owners, and guys like this, trying to enter a very crowded field, with (presumably) a marketing budget that can’t possibly compete… Continue reading Halftime Pizza Review

Mio Amore Pizza Review – Metairie, LA

Sasquatch Pizza Review

Somebody lit a fire under the management of Milwaukee pizza manufacturer Parlermo; in addition to their classic Palermo label, over the past year, they’ve rolled out another four brands. P’Mos, Screamin’ Sicilian, Mission, and now, Sasquatch, a WalMart exclusive monster, weighing in a 3 pounds for under ten bucks.  That’s a lot of pizza. That’s… Continue reading Sasquatch Pizza Review

Pub 72 Review, Gilberts, IL

I’ve been on a mission to have weekend breakfasts at rural locations in Illinois, and today we hit the Pub 72 Bar & Grill in Gilberts, IL. The “72” is after the number of the highway, and if memory serves me, is a rather new name. Not sure if the change also represented a change… Continue reading Pub 72 Review, Gilberts, IL

Holi Cannoli Review – Elkhorn, WI

Seems like lately I’ve been hitting “out of the way” pizza places like this one,  on US Highway 12, 6.5 miles north of Elkhorn, WI and the junction of 12 and I-43.   It’s about a 15 minute drive from the popular Lake Geneva recreation area in Southern Wisconsin. I’ve driven by this place many… Continue reading Holi Cannoli Review – Elkhorn, WI
