Di Carlos Pizza- Thank You

Pizza, pizza, and more pizza. We always find a way to squeeze in a quick pizza stop into every one of our travels. This next pizza blog covers the delicious slices of Di Carlos Pizza!

Located in the city of Wheeling, West Virginia, this small quick stop pizza joint puts a spin on it's own version of this Italian original.

We were on our way home from a short trip dreading the return of work on the next day to come, so we thought.. what better way to end our amazing trip than a nice slice of Pizza?

We had done a little research on this small pizza joint and learned that their pizza is completely original. They stuck strickley to the roots of the creator Primo Di Carlo who tried pizza in Italy while serving inthe U.S. Army. He returned to the United States with his Italian pizza knowledge which pushed him to open the first Di Carlos pizza in Steubenville, Ohio back in 1945! Some short time later, Primo partnered with his younger brother Galdo Di Carlo, who then brought this unique pizza to Wheeling, West Virginia in 1949.

We were very intrigued by the history and popularity of it so made sure to squeeze it in to our late night ride home.

On arrival, we came to notice that it wasn't a fancy dine in pizzeria (nothing wrong with that!). Which fit our schedule perfectly, were hooked by the delicious aroma of fresh baked pizza.

The pizza is thin crusted and uniquely square shaped, unlike most. They load the sauce on the crust and slide it into the oven just as it is... And I know what You're thinking.. "what about the cheese?!?!" No need to worry. Once the cheese-less sauce filled crust is finished baking, they slam a handful of fresh provolone and pepperoni on top of the steaming crust and sauce making it one of the most original and unique pizzas we have come to find.

The crust was crispy the sauce was flavorful and the whole idea of it was as simple and delicious than ever.

If you are a pizza fan, than we definitely recommend Di Carlo's. You will not be disappointed and it will be a great new pizza to scratch off of your bucket list!

Roosters, it's an Ohio thing!

We are so proud to be from Ohio for so many reasons, and Roosters being one of them! Roosters is a restaurant that only 'Ohioans' or Ohio visitors know about. It's not a five star fancy schmansy restaurant, just a tasty and fun place to eat at on a weekend or after a long days work. The famous slogan really speaks for itself "A fun, casual, joint", but it doesn't happen to mention the delicious food they have available! We are regular Rooster customers, we usually go a couple of times a month. We usually stick with our favorites from the menu, but you really can't go wrong with anything they have to offer. Whether it's the loaded nachos, a burger, or their tender boneless wings dipped in your choice of TOP OF THE LINE wing sauce, you wont be disappointed. Most of the time we go with the boneless wings drenched in tangy sweet Thai chili sauce. The quality of the meat is unbeatable, but the big kicker for us is the sauce. The sweet...

Picklesburgh!

Pittsburgh, PA is not only a fun city to visit, but they have one of most unique traditions of many, the Picklesburgh pickle festival!! We are huge fans of pickles, and we had a blast on previous travels to Pittsburgh, so this event was perfect for us! In this particular post we are going to be telling you about all of our delicious encounters of Picklesburgh. Picklesburgh has everything pickles! Name it and most likely they have it. Anything from pickle brine chicken, pickle soda, to even pickle moonshine, and pickle cupcakes. We were lucky enough to try a good handful of these pickled creations. When we first arrived in Pittsburgh we kept our eyes peeled for the giant pickle floating in the sky! It was surely there floating above all of the delicious pickle stands and happy festival goers. It had a very fun feel being there because of the fact that it is all located on the famous Roberto Clement Bridge. Our first goal when we arrived was getting a one of a kind selfie with t...

Screendoor, What Mo' Could'ya Ask Fo'

On our Oregon vacation and exploration, we headed out to a specific well known location for breakfast. Screendoor Much like many old fashion restaurants, Screendoor in Portland Oregon is extremely popular. The vibe of the restaurant is very positive, and the decor and atmosphere is warm and makes you feel at home. The lighting of the restaurant is very soft on a beautiful autumn Portland morning, and nothing goes better with a crisp cool fall day than delicious breakfast. We browsed the simple menu, and selected our meals quickly. We had a big day ahead of us. Seth opted for their famous chicken and waffle dish, while I on the other hand went with the Texas Veggie Migas. (I can't ever pass up a good Mexican classic) Chicken and Waffles The presentation of the dish was impressive, the orange peal on top of the portions of breakfast goodness was a gorgeous touch. The chicken was absolutely homemade, hand breaded, and cooked to perfection. The flavor of the ch...
