Today's mission: Find a decent pizza in the Fishers/Indianapolis area. Since moving to Fishers, we feel like we've been living in pizza purgatory. One of our favorite pizzerias in the Chicago area was Colucci's, but they closed a few years back. Mark and Juan like Langels; I prefer Sanfratello's. I also like Beggars in Lansing, and how can you not love Chicago pizza like that at Gino's East in downtown Chicago where you can actually carve your name in the wall or table.
We tried a few places in town and have been underwhelmed. The pizza at chain joints like Donatos, Hot Box, and Pizza Hut all tastes the same: Bland. Nothing like up north. We've actually resorted to Sam's Club or Costco for pizza. Trust me, it's not a treat, but it beats the look-alike, taste-alike pizza chains.
Today, both Juan and I had a craving for pizza. Some people at work talked about Nancy's Pizza and we knew there was a Nancy's in Chicago so we decided to give it a try. When we pulled up an online menu, I must admit the stuffed pizza looked awesome but I decided to go with thin crust. Mark and John got an Italian sausage pizza. I tasted it too. It was not bad. Tasted a bit like a thinner version of Colucci's. I had the Vegitini pizza. It was good. but weird at the same time. It had broccoli on it. I enjoyed it but think next time I'll stick with my usual mushroom and green pepper pizza since I don't like meat on my pies. Nancy's, which originated in Chicago, is to date the best we've had in the Indy area. Send us your suggestions; we desperately need to escape Pizza Purgatory.
Sanfratellos -- deep dish! OMG it's great!
