I am burnt out on this one but if you never had it you have to try JJs pizza shack: stuffed crust pizza. Gelsosomos and Edwardos are both good joints. I miss having multiple pizza locations. I really miss not having an Italian beef shop near me. brickfor6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galagore Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 If we are going to have a pizza conversation and discuss Pizza King, we have to start being specific about what Pizza King is being rated. In my small sample size (maybe 3-4) there are wildly varying levels of Pizza King quality, depending on location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So with your time in West Lafayette, AJ.s has a solid Italian Beef. Did you like that one? HMMMM no sour grapes, but I bet Evansville doesn't have Italian Beef.

Geno's East. Geno's East is a tourist trap, its fun to write on the walls. But the last time i went there which was the the famous one downtown, my waiter was higher than a hippie on bad acid at Woodstock. Literally took 45 minutes to get water.

PJ's by Andrean HS used to be great, but I haven't had it in a long time. Nothing beats going to the southside and getting some Riccobene's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, What we've learned about Evansville food from Indianamat: 1. Best Pizza is Pizza King 2. Best Tacos are Taco Bell 3. Best Italian Beef is Arby's Is it a fair assumption to say best Chinese is Panda Express?

Haven't been since after the IHPO weigh-ins in 2016 so I might be a little outdated I will have to give Ziffle's and Lucille's a try next time I am up that way.

Fort Wayne doesn't have a good BBQ joint. I think my waistline can attest to the fact that I'm connoisseur of fine meats. If you want some real BBQ go to Frankie's in South Bend. Tell'em I sent you and you'll still have to wait. aoberlin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will not disagree. I like Ziffle’s ribs but I’m not sure you can actually call them BBQ. There is no smoke or charcoal that they are made with but I like them. As far as actually good BBQ the only place I really really enjoyed was Blue Stack Smokehouse before they closed. Particularly their brisket, they cooked it like I do mine. I cook some decent BBQ and enjoy it. Currently I have 4 pork butts on the smoker for the Howe camp tomorrow. GenHeavyHandz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
