Nationwide – Villa Pizza

Waiting at the local mall the other day, actually waiting to have lunch with a client nearby, was feeling a might peckish and decided to have a pre-lunch slice. The food court option was Villa Pizza, an outlet of the nationwide brand chain, Villa Enterprises. The origin of the pizza stems from a single outlet… Continue reading Nationwide – Villa Pizza

Portland, OR – Superdog

Superdog, I love these guys, and don’t get into one of their shops nearly often enough. I was wandering around downtown today looking for a corned beef sandwich, and came up bupkis, so I threw in the towel (used to soak up the mega gallons of rain that fell today), and popped into Superdog, the… Continue reading Portland, OR – Superdog

Home Cookin’ Test – Red Baron Fire Baked Pizza

     From deep in the frozen pizza capital of the U.S., Marshall, Minnesota (????), comes this new offering from the Red Baron Brand, part of the Schwan’s Food Company. The  “Fire-Baked Original Crust Italian Style Meat Trio” is one of a plethroa of new types of pies the frozen pizza industry has introduced of late.… Continue reading Home Cookin’ Test – Red Baron Fire Baked Pizza

Portland, OR – Give Pizza A Chance

  Mrs. BurgerDogBoy has been suggesting I get to “Give Pizza A Chance” since she read about it in Portland Monthly. Funny, I hadn’t tried it, I hit that food pod quite a bit. In the pic of the stand, you can see “Swamp Shack” next to it, some great Creole food, and next to that, “Tabor“,… Continue reading Portland, OR – Give Pizza A Chance

Portland, OR – Bellagio’s Pizza Redux

My second experience with Bellagio’s wasn’t as good as my first one, however, there wasn’t enough change to put me off ordering from them again. The first negative was I ordered before they had even opened, and ordered a delivery for 1130 A;  the store called me a few minutes later and said they were slammed… Continue reading Portland, OR – Bellagio’s Pizza Redux

Home Cookin’ – 7-Eleven Pizza Retest

         Thought I would retest the home version of the 7-Eleven pizza. My last epistle on this is here.  My local guys (map) still haven’t installed the miracle multi-thousand dollar Turbo oven, which cranks these pies out in about two minutes, but they are selling the same pies to cook at home,… Continue reading Home Cookin’ – 7-Eleven Pizza Retest

Home Cookin’ – Hy-Top Breakfast Biscuit

  You know I love all ilks  of sausage, (even llama!)  but somehow, fast food breakfast sausage doesn’t fit into that category for me.  If McDonalds sausage is the gold standard, all others fall below that – to me the flavor tastes just too ‘forced’ and I can’t think of another way to describe it. So… Continue reading Home Cookin’ – Hy-Top Breakfast Biscuit

Buffalo Blue Cheese Chicken Sausage

Picked these up on my sausage fest at Sheridan Fruit Company in Portland. I’m not one to usually go for poultry-based sausages, but I do like the Buffalo flavor (except I don’t eat wings), and I love blue cheese.  I thought those two things might prevail in these tubular delights. The one advantage to poultry… Continue reading Buffalo Blue Cheese Chicken Sausage

Portland, Or – Nostrana

Local Portland business Attorney, Will Du Val, and his better half, ok, 2/3, Victoria, invited us out for some holiday cheer last night, and their choice was Nostrana, the locavore-oriented Italian place on SE Morrison. It’s always been a hang-out of theirs since the early days of couple-dom (2nd anniversary coming up Jan 1, if… Continue reading Portland, Or – Nostrana
