A lot of people avoid chain restaurants because they don’t equate them with quality food. If that was a rule, this place is definitely an exception to it! From the wood burning pizza ovens to the house made salad dressing, this place is pretty good! Last time I went to a Carrabba’s was about 10… Continue reading Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Metairie, LA Report #263

Gendusa’s Italian Market, Kenner, LA Report # 256
Someone I work with lives pretty far from this place, and drives miles past a lot of good Italian restaurants to come here. Now I know why. Not a huge place.

Brooklyn Pizzeria, Gulfport, MS Report #221
I spent 5 years in Gulfport, MS, drilling with the Navy Reserve. During that time I discovered this place. I love thin, crispy, New York style pizza, and this place does a good job with that. We decided to stop in for some before we headed back to New Orleans today. As soon as you… Continue reading Brooklyn Pizzeria, Gulfport, MS Report #221
Fat Boy’s Pizza, Metairie, LA Report #203
If you crave a huge pizza, this is the place for you. You can get them so big they won’t fit on the table. As you can see in the picture above, that’s no problem. They’ll put it on a portable table for you. You can order any pizza by the slice, but even those… Continue reading Fat Boy’s Pizza, Metairie, LA Report #203
