That’s right, folks. It’s always pizza time, but especially in October when we dedicate an entire month to the doughy delight.

Actually, strike that… we don’t know how to share when it comes to pizza so you’ll just have to get your hands on these the next time you find yourself in their‘zap code!

Taco Pizza

“I was in the mood for their famous taco pizza slice, which you can only get on Tuesdays… Everything was so fresh and just awesome. We started out eating the tacos first, which I really enjoyed; you get three different tacos on each individual slice. The guac and sour cream were nice dipping additions. Then, the pizza itself was really good, too.” – Steve S

Dill Pickle Pizza

“Being a pickle nut…just had to stop in and try it… The garlic oil in lieu of sauce, sweet, creamy mozzarella, and pickles melded together perfectly!” – Jenn T

Guava Pizza

The Dalton

“Specialty pizza joint with some really cool combinations. I went for the dalton… It’s got pulled pork, bbq sauce and coleslaw on top. Not what you would normally top a pizza with but the result was that I hammered through the whole thing in a pretty short time interval.” – Jesse T

“Let’s take a moment to appreciate the outstanding presentation of this pizza…shrimp, prawns, four huge lobster tails, and smoked salmon! The lobster tails were delicious and super yummy! The cheese on top was so good…watch out—it’s super messy because there is also mashed potato in the middle underneath the entire pile of seafood… Gave the pizza a creamy texture, and gave my hands the need for a lot of napkins.” – Selina C

Penne Alla Vodka with Spinach Roll Crust

“是的……之后的质量……那件事makes a pizzeria great and not just good…On to innovation…the garlic spinach roll crust using penne alla vodka as a topping. What the…friggin’ amazing awesome ideas! The rolls are a perfect appetizer on their own. The alla vodka is its own side order…but put it all on one pizza and…dang, son…that’s something to write home to mamma about.” – Timothy H

Mac n’ Cheese

“Holy cow – mac and cheese pizza is a thing, and Ian’s is to die for. My two favorite foods—mac and cheese and pizza combined into one. At first I was skeptical, until I actually was able to go in and try it. It did not disappoint…not one bit.” – Sarah Q

Vinnie’s Famous Pizza on Pizza™

“So pleased I was able to try the pizza on pizza (Inceptionpizza? Lol) slice… I chose to get my slices to go… I was able to shovel the big slices and the little slices in my mouth to my heart’s content, in the privacy of my own vehicle.” – Trice B

Istanbul

“The Istanbul is both savory and complex; a new family favorite. Their wood fire oven gives the entire pie, and especially their crust, a smokey finish that’s impossible to resist.” – Diego R

Plato’s Pie

“I love their thick, buttery crust. It almost tastes like a pretzel. And who doesn’t love dipping their crust in honey? The Plato’s Pie is my favorite specialty pizza on the menu. It is a take on a Greek pizza. Plus, it has hummus on it. Delicious.” – Justine M

Green Curry Chicken Eggplant

“We’ve also had their green curry chicken eggplant pizza, which is amazing. It really tastes like you’re eating a Thai curry dish, but in pizza form. So creamy and comforting.” – Emma W


Mashed Potato

“The potato bacon pizza is a thing of beauty. It’s rich, buttery, savory and has just the right amount of fat…forget the safe stuff… When the guy brought it over to the table he said ‘Dude, I want to eat your pizza.’ Affirmation at its best.” – Jason L

Saag Paneer

Elote

“The elote was amazing. It had goat cheese, corn, and spicy mayo, and was probably also one of the most unique pizzas I’ve ever had… Their crust is also light and perfectly cooked, and make sure you order some of their yummy ranch for dipping!” – Ariel N

Old ‘97s

“It has lil’ smokies, green chilis, bacon, and jalapeños. You have to order the cracked egg on top. It really sets the pizza over the top and you could eat it for breakfast. I usually don’t like New York style pizza, but ESP has exceptional crust that is foldable and never too crispy.” – Adam H


Karlyn’s Beer Garden

“In the movieBull DurhamI always loved the line, ‘Don’t mess with a streak.’ Well, that’s how I feel about Karlyn’s Beer Garden. Homemade beer cheese, fingerling potatoes, caramelized onions, herbed whipped ricotta, bacon, and chives, all on a 100-year-old sourdough starter passed down through generations… How can you go wrong? And that’s why it’s my go-to pizza.” – Steve M

Buffalo Mac

“Some dude named Sammy that’s prob a G decided to open up this hot lil’ joint serving some fresh outta the oven goodness of pizzas. 10/10 would order the buffalo mac again, that stuff was good. Greasy, carby, fatty, cheesy pizza.” – Sabrina N


Chicken and Waffles

“We were psyched to pick out our pizzas for our pizza flight experience… I cannot stop thinking about that chicken and waffles pizza, several days later. Syrup on pizza strangely cannot go wrong…at least that’s what I learned… Mitten Brewing just does syrup on pizza right.” – Anna K

Steak-N-Fries
