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!

Bourbon, burgers, and Bar Louie!

This restaurant may sound familiar to some. We've eaten here before and have never been disappointed with the food or service. Stop into Bar Louie for some great food and and a great late night type of atmosphere, or maybe just after doing a little shopping in the mall. Bourbon Bacon Burger Just by looking at the special limited time menu of this burger and many other special sandwiches alike, we knew this burger would be incredibly flavorful. A beautifully cooked meat patty deserves nothing better than a beautifully crafted sauce and delcious toppings to back them up. A perfect meat patty topped with cheddar cheese, bacon, a delcious bourbon sauce and a nice stack of fried onion straws... It's making my mouth water just thinking about it... Unsurprisingly, the look of the burger was astonishing. The juicy patty had a decent portion of crispy onion straws that make the presentation really stick out. The first bite ...

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...

Noodlecat's Dream Buns

If you're strolling through downtown Cleveland we hope you stumble into Noodlecat . Located on Euclid Ave, you will be surrounded by a few different popular restaurants, don't be shy! Try them all! From our experience you can't go wrong. Noodlecat serves up three main options noodles, buns, and veggies. Unfortunately we did not come for noodles on this visit, we came for the Japanese Steam Buns! We picked 2 of the 5 bun options they had available and went with the J-fried Chicken bun and the Fresh bacon bun. These Buns are Japanese white bread sandwiches each topped with lettuce and pickle. For the J-fried Chicken Bun, this soft steam bun has a piece of fried chicken, sweet and spicy power ketchup. At first bite you're in love. The fresh steam buns are amazing. The chicken was crispy, tangy, and delicious but it was no match for the next bun that we tried! The Fresh Bacon Bun was filled with a delicious slice of lightly smoked, sugar ...
