Pizza Memories: The Magnificent Shrinking Little Caesar’s

October 19th, 2010 | 7 Comments

With all this talk of pizza, the inevitable lengthy discussions will occur: how hard pizza rules, what pizza doesn’t rule so hard, how awful those Joe Flacco Pizza Hut commercials are – and it won’t take too long to come to the question “What the f**k happened to Little Caesar’s?” Years ago, Little Caesar’s was everywhere. Wikipedia sez there were over 5,000 locations nationwide; their presence was about as competitive as Pizza Hut and Domino’s in this region. But at this point, Little Caesar’s operations in the area are limited to K-Marts, which don’t really exist, and one location off of the top of my head on York Rd. near Towson (if it’s still there). Their commercials are non-existent in this region anymore, whereas once Little Caesar’s produced some of the … Read entire article »

Pizza: the new Tapas?

A few weeks ago we went over the fact that Grumpies Pour House (25 E. Cross St., Federal Hill) will be expanding into the adjacent/empty Federal Hill Lounge space in the next who-knows-when, and as it turns out, they’re probably planning on turning the whole operation into a pizza restaurant of some kind. For most people I’m sure this sounds like a great idea, as literally everyone with red white and blue American Blood flowing through … Read entire article »

The Pizza Lobbyist

Jack Abramoff became a household name for bribing Congressmen in DC, now he’ll be a household name in Baltimore for his pizza! That’s a spicy meatball! Wait, that’s a spaghetti reference. Anyway, more recently you may have heard his name in connection with a movie featuring Kevin Spacey as the now pie chef himself. I smell Oscar! No wait, that’s just this delicious pizza ol’ Jackyboy made for me a few minutes ago. Mmmmm, corruption tastes delicious. Via political blog Talking Points Memo: Disgraced former lobbyist Jack Abramoff, mere months after serving his debt to society for bribing Congressmen and related shenanigans, is making mad dough these days in his new job. That job, according to The Baltimore Jewish Times, is at kosher pizzeria Tov Pizza (6313 Reisterstown Road, Glen). Tov, which bills itself … Read entire article »

Mealtime! #16

November 5th, 2009 | 3 Comments

What: Flag Pizza (large, 16″) Where: Joe Squared (133 W North Ave., Charles North) How Much: $23 (yikes!) Synopsis: Posting anything about Joe Squared is kind of an afterthought since practically everyone knows it’s a superior place to get a ‘gourmet’ pizza. And this pizza, split into three different pizzas (standard cheese, four cheese, pesto and mozzarella) is living …er, pizza proof of that. Each section has a distinct flavor, and the 16″ pie was large enough to split between 3 people. Which for $23 comes out to be around 8 bucks a head, which is pretty reasonable. I did note, however, that the “flag” aspect of the pizza is supposed to be Italy (right?) but the cheddar adorning the middle portion makes it yellow, which apparently is the flag for Mali. Eh, whichever … Read entire article »
