February is the time that love is in the air. Well, love is always in the air when pizza is involved, but February means I get to super indulge, right? The high of checking places off the list was still strong so I put another solid month of pizza eating in. Let's revisit the sauciness, shall we?
Wildwood Pizza: On some internet lists, Wildwood is deemed the best pizza in Louisiana. It's good, but I would not vote it best in Louisiana...or even best in Baton Rouge...or even the best pizza I ate during the month of February. Don't get me wrong, it's good, and I've tried to make repeat visits that haven't turned out well for either of us. I learned the hard way they are closed on Sunday evenings and I seem to always make this drive when they are out of power. This is the Elvis pizza, and it was the pizza of the month and I wish they would bring it back. It was SO GOOD! I just need them to be open when I'm on that side of town so I can recreate this myself.
Little Ceasar's: Let's face it, the $5 Hot N Ready deal is one of the greatest things to hit my life. As a child, one of my best memories was our field trip to Little Ceasar's. They let us go behind the closed door and see how the magic happened, and I'm sure a psychiatrist would tell me that this where my not so healthy obsession with pizza began. In college, Little Ceasar's was my go to pizza place...until they stopped delivering to my dorm. When I'm alone, this is where I turn. Crazy bread ... Italian cheese bread ...$5 pizza ... I'll take it all, please.
Papa John's: Better ingredients. Better pizza. Papa John's. Yep, I can quote the commercials. I will say that Papa John's has been trying to up their game lately. By "up their game", I really mean "diversify our product". I was on board with the Papadias, their pizza quesadillas...or their spin on the calzone. (Really glad this one made the cut) In February, I tried their Tavern Single. The concept is fabulous, a pizza that is acceptable to eat the whole thing in one sitting by one person! The only downside was the amount of garlic butter that I couldn't taste while eating it, but could smell it on my breath for the remainder of the day.
LIT Pizza: I love Lit. It's the Subway of pizza, and I can get a pizza and a drink for $10. Just take my money! The only downside for me with Lit is that I actually have to get out of my car in order to get it. I want to be able to get my cheap pizza through a drivethru window and in my pjs. I love Lit though, so if it was socially acceptable to enter in my pjs, I would probably eat here more often.
Isabella's Pizzeria: This is actually the place that planted the idea of this resolution. My mom and I used to go to Party Time frequently and I would pass this place on the drive there and say "I should eat there". It took 225 Dine offering a coupon to finally get me to pull the trigger. (Pizza proximity is highly important to me, and the proximity of Isabella's did not put it on the forefront of my mind.) However, I want to go back. The pizza was good, the server was super nice, and we had a nice night out.
Mr. Gatti's: Pizza buffets are my jam. I can pay one price and eat all the pizza I want? Sign me up! Pizza buffets that also have skeeball, sign me up! Oh wait ... our Gatti's doesn't have a GattiLand and it is the saddest part of each trip when I remember that there is only pizza and no skeeball. But their cheesesticks have my heart.
2 months down and I've already hit up 12/30 spots, and threw in an extra awesome pizza stop in NOLA. Almost halfway there and I haven't even finished the first quarter. I've totally got this...I can do it...until I felt like I couldn't. But more on that later.
