Nationwide Chain – Sbarro’s

Sbarro is the king of mall pizza, arguably.  And the chain recently entered voluntary bankruptcy.  I saw an article recently that called Sbarro “America’s least essential restaurant,” and that may well be true. I hadn’t been to one in a long time, but finding myself trapped in a mall the other day, I deciced to… Continue reading Nationwide Chain – Sbarro’s

Portland, OR – Silver Dollar Bar & Pizza

I like the Silver Dollar. According to Mrs. Burgerdogboy, they make a damned fine lemon drop (the secret is real orange, not triple sec), and according to me, they make a damned fine all meat pizza. (The Long Horn features Canadian bacon, salami, Italian sausage, beef, and extra cheese). Read thru various online reviews, and… Continue reading Portland, OR – Silver Dollar Bar & Pizza

McMinnville, OR – La Rambla

Rambled in to La Rambla (boulevard in Spanish) the other day; had a business appointment with a colleague in McMinnville, and since we both had already seen the Spruce Goose, lunch seemed like a go. A tastefully decorated bar and dining area probably makes La Rambla one of the go-to places in McM town. Featuring… Continue reading McMinnville, OR – La Rambla

So where can you go if… Continue reading Kroger Brand Refrigerated Pizza – Double Pepperoni

Portland, OR – Slappy Cakes

    If you haven’t hit Slappy Cakes in SE Portland, because you think it’s just for kids, you’ve missed one of the best breakfasts in town. Although children of all ages will enjoy the concept of making their own pancakes right at the table – choose from a type of batter and a wide… Continue reading Portland, OR – Slappy Cakes

Canoga Park, CA – Jerry’s Pizzeria

    I was tooling around the San Fernando Valley the other day, looking for sustenance, when I spotted Jerry’s Pizzeria on Sherman Way.  I found a parking place in the pack, and noted it was right next to a deli proclaiming they had “L.A.’s #1 sandwich.”  Hmm, dilemma. As I had a scheduled lunch… Continue reading Canoga Park, CA – Jerry’s Pizzeria

Portland, OR – Old Town Pizza

Everybody raves about Old Town Pizza, just look at the front page of their website:  “Something to Experience before You Die”;  “Visited by the Tonight Show and Rachel Ray’s Tasty Travels“. So what are my raves about Old Town?  It’s a really nice building and space.  Oh, and it’s a really nice building and space.… Continue reading Portland, OR – Old Town Pizza
