A cynic once said, "What's the secret to a successful pizza restaurant? Location. Location. Location." # Need I say more about pizza at Disneyland? #

Trying Pullano's in Glendale. Packed that's a good sign, right? #

Strange! 2 Hippies Pizza on 16th st serves completely different pizza than 7th ave store. Different crust, sauce, toppings and menu. #

I hope the pizza is better than the name. http://plixi.com/p/50268996 # .@azgizmo – sorry, I should have geolocated that tweet. Spasso is at Town & Country. It replaces the dire Pie Zano's. Good riddance, too. #

Tommy V’s Osteria Pizzeria – Review

Pizza Locust — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 05:49:01 +0000

There sometimes lessons to be learned about not reading other people’s reviews of restaurants. Tommy V’s might just be an example of that. Tommy V’s is part of the Tomaso’s family, in fact, it adjoins it. It’s not far from my office and I originally noticed it when it opened, but I’ve never been there [...]

Magpie’s Pizza – Review – @MagpiesPizza

Pizza Locust — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 05:27:30 +0000

It’s been about 26 years since the Pizza Locust moved out of Tucson and into the great wasteland that is Phoenix. Back in the 70′s and early 80′s, Tucson’s pizza scene was pretty much pedestrian. Pretty much all the pizza came in just a few varieties: Village Inn, Pizza Inn, Pizza Hut, Shakey’s and, later [...]

Return to Pino’s Pizza Al Centro

Pizza Locust — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 04:38:07 +0000

Try though I might to establish and enforce “fair” (or at least consistent) guidelines for reviewing pizzas, I don’t always hit my mark. One concept that I try to enforce is the two-visit minimum, but that’s not always practical. Sometimes a pizza restaurant is so far away that it would be too difficult to visit [...]

Domino’s New Pizza and Other Madness

Pizza Locust — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 17:59:13 +0000

Well, I don’t think I’ve ever actually reviewed Domino’s Pizza before, for a variety of good reasons. Being a take-out/delivery only pace, Domino’s falls under the category of places that you can’t give a fair review of – pizza is never as good as it should be when it’s been shuttled around in a car [...]

Mellow Mushroom – Review

Pizza Locust — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 03:45:44 +0000

Several months ago we were at the northern frontiers of Phoenix – Happy Valley Rd. looking for something at Dicks Sporting Goods and I happened to notice, in the same general shopping plaza, a new pizza place – or at least a banner proclaiming a new pizza place: The Mellow Mushroom. It had an open [...]
