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

Breakfast Time at Table 1

Being Ohio natives we were happy to find an independent restaurant near us. It had Great decor, and the restaurant itself had a visually fun and hip/modern look (no surprise here.. most small businesses take this role). The lighting was at a relaxing level, they placed numbers above the tables to try and give a unique look. Enough about the decor though, lets move on to the important Tids! First things first, drink options. They had a small variety of drinks offering the usual selections - Soda, Water, Tea, O-J, Milk. We decided on getting the Cola, because we had a long drive ahead - we were headed for Amish Country in Millersburg OH. (Blog soon to come..) Our server seemed to be lacking some energy that day as well, I mean it was Saturday. She brought our drinks and we were surprised to see more than a simple cup, Coca-cola served to you in a jar! Enough mumbo about the drinks though, onward to the main course. We both opted for The eggs Benedict. We were unsure o

The Ale House May be Good for Whatever Ails You

All of you Ohio natives out there, if you havent been to Ale house 1890 in Lancaster Ohio you are definitely missing out. They have wonderful hamburgers and so many to menu items to choose from! All of these burgers are specially made with their own selection of fresh ingredients. They definitely know their way around a burger! They also have new specials pretty frequently such as fried macoroni! (See review for fried Macoroni below!) so go in and don't miss them! Ale House 1890 Our first pick from the menu was the Barnyard Burger. Barnyard Burger This burger was an absolute taste masterpiece! The first bite I took I could immediately taste the sweetness of marmalade and the grilled taste of the patty which collided with each other creating a wonderful taste combination. The garlic aoli was a nice touch to the burger as well, better than mayonnaise if you ask me! Also the micro greens was a great bonus to an already delcious sandwich. And what is better on a b
