Motor City Pizza ~ Lewisville, Texas


Alrighty Mr. Music is getting that engine cranked. He promises more! What did his next adventure bring?

---

Oh boy, I love pizza! And I love checking out all these variations! New York style, Neapolitan, Chicago, St. Louis and now I'm discovering Detroit Style. Today a couple disc golf friends and I tried Motor City Pizza in Lewisville, TX. Honestly, I had low expectations, but still wanted to try it. I say that because in the past I've had pizza that had very thick crust and although I'll happily eat it, it isn't my dream pizza and I was worried this Detroit pizza would be the same. But it was not! The crust IS thickish, but not too thick. Oh, but it is light with a nice chew; it reminded me of a fluffy focaccia with a crisp crunchy bottom and edges. The cheese was the first layer. A nice generous layer of very stretchy, tasty mozzarella that oozed over the edge and got crispy with the edge of the crust. Toppings nestled atop the cheese sunk down into the gooeyness. Pizza alchemy! We got Italian sausage, mushrooms, onion, black olives, and pickled jalapeno. The final touch was two ladles of a chunky marinara striped across the top. Now that is something different! I think we all gasped with amazement and delight as we sunk into that first bite.... and second... It was a divine food experience!


The price was reasonable, it was a nice, bright, clean dining room and our wait person was very friendly and there when we needed her. They had appetizers and salads. I am very intrigued by their chicken strips that are coated in seasoned mashed potatoes before being fried. They looked really good! Next time... maybe, not sure I can let anything take my stomach space but that great pizza!

Five Guys Burgers and Fries ~ national chain : Colorado Springs, Colorado

Latest visit: Oct 2023 (Colorado Springs - Interquest) First visit: Jan 2007 (Reston, VA) Locations: 49 states + DC. Only Alaska is missing. There are 30 in Colorado (4 in the Springs). That's +3 from last year. Texas has 68 (our former locale of Southlake is closed, so Hurst would have been the closest). There are 123 in California which is their largest state presence. The original Reston location that I first went to is still going.  In what appears to be a recurring theme, I state each year this will be my last visit to Five Guys. Only to return anyway. This year's excuse is I wanted to try their new location, which very recently opened up close to our house. This is definitely the closest we've ever lived to a Five Guys - even the Reston location was further from my office at the time. And I thought maybe it would make a good choice for a weekday lunch while working from home, thus putting Five Guys back into the rotation. I put that idea to the test here this Saturda...

Denver's Old School Italian Restaurants

I know, I know... I haven't posted anything in 6 months. You were checking back every week, then every month and now I've fallen completely off your radar. Sorry about that. My only lame excuse is that I've been "saving up" for a good one. I've been wanting to write about Denver's Italian restaurants since we returned part-time last year. And you all know how the RJG feels about this style of restaurant . As someone who grew up in Dallas, perhaps I've been more drawn to cities that embrace their history rather than completely demolish it. Only recently has Dallas become more acutely aware of their past. Previously, any buildings not in use have been razed as fast as possible, to make way for the next brand new shopping center - all in the latest architecture naturally. Contrarily you have cities like St. Louis that are 19th and 20th century industrial ghost towns - places frozen in time because for most everyone who could, they just up and left to ...

Pietro's Italian ~ Dallas, Texas ***CLOSED***

Last visit: Feb 2016 First visit: Sometime in 1984 When Mr. Music told me this earlier in the year, my heart sunk. It was reason enough to stop talking and writing about restaurants. All I can say is this: We did give you advance notice. The below was published on  March 28, 2010 , so Pietro gave you a good 7 years to check it out. If you missed it, then I'm sorry to say there is no replacement. No other place like it. A part of me went with it too... January 2014 update: Pietro's is as magnificent as ever. Mrs RJG and I just had another exquisite meal here. It remains my all-time favorite restaurant even after 30 years of going here. I beg and urge you all to try it at least once if you have a hankering for Old School Italian food. I'm sure it will not be here forever. Pietro must be close to 80 now, and it's hard to imagine the restaurant without him. We try to go 3 to 4 times a year, almost always on a Saturday or Sunday because of the traffic to get to inner Dalla...
