    A 10 inch A Pizza my Heart - - I housed it like I was in a good competition
    Patrick P.

    Where My Tribe Feasted and My Heart Was Pizza'd Let me tell you about the time I walked into both entrances of Cardinal Pizza like I was on a food quest from Skyrim. One side says, "Takeout." The other says, "Dine In." I said, "Yes." I dined in like a civilized human, devouring a Pizza My Heart -- which, let's be honest, was not thick... but she had flavor, attitude, and left me with commitment issues. I'm still thinking about her. But I wasn't alone in this tale. My tribe awaited at home, hungry and dramatic. So I did what any pizza warlord would do: I brought home Meatballs and Spaghetti, Garlic Bread with Cheese, a New York-style Pepperoni & Sausage pizza, and for dessert -- a pizza-pie-apple-strudel-type-thing that defied dessert categories and tasted like cinnamon wrapped itself in a hug. Final verdict? I loved my pizza. The tribe devoured their haul like it was a deleted scene from "Vikings." No complaints. No leftovers. Just sauce-stained smiles and a solid reminder that Cardinal Pizza is the two-door gateway to happy bellies.

    New York crust tower toppings

    I love this place in uptown Westerville . I always get the NY crust with the tower toppings and it never disappoints. Bartenders are helpful and friendly . It gets crowded so you might have to wait .. but if it's on the weekend grab a Dora cup and walk around . It's a dark old bar which is part of its charm . Highly recommend stopping in .

    This is my favorite pizza shop in Columbus. Why? First I love the vibe. Its a small shop and I mean right now its small and truly, I love that. However, its in the process of acquiring/modifying the space next door so it will get bigger. Im sure I will still love bigger as it eill be easier to get seating. Currently it has four tables and a bar that seats 7-8. Everything is made in house except the cauliflower crust, boneless chicken and one other thing, which I dont get, so I forgot what it is. The salads are great. The dressings are made in-house, their ranch is my favorite. The bar is fun to sit at and very comfortable. they hire great people that are always fun to talk to. They have two types of crust: NY Style and Columbus style. Both are good but I prefer the NY style. They have two sauces, spicy and regular. The spicy is amazing. The regular is sweeter than the spicy (imo) My go to here is the NY style Taylors favorite.. omit sausage on half and "a Propa-Pie, add sausage to entire pie. The pepperoni is the type that curls upward and their sausage is good sized. The mushrooms are so fresh. Yum. Thanks Mel (one of the owners) for always making us feel like regulars even tho we come in sporadically and always sending us home happy and full!

    Ended up going here to grab a pizza for the Browns vs Cardinals game. Ironic, isn't it? But, unlike the Cardinals football team, this pizza is not slouch. When we pulled up, I noticed that they were Browns supporters, so I knew I was in for a treat. The cashier was very welcoming and friendly. We ordered the Proper Pie to go, and this pizza featured Old World Pepperoni, which is my favorite! The pizza looked and smelled phenomenal when we got into the car. My wife was not in the mood for pizza, so she ordered one of their meatball subs. When we got home, we dug in. The pizza had a thinner crust, and the flavors were amazing. The pepp was cripsy and bold! The cheese had a nice pull, and the sauce was very complimentary. I drizzled a little ranch on a slice, and it enhanced the pie even more. The crust had a nice crunch to it as well. My wife said that she enjoyed her meatball sub and the slice of pie she tried. I would give this place another go, and I would like to try another one of their specialty pizzas. The Proper Pie Pizza 1-5=4.5! Customer Service 1-5=5!

I love days when I can sit on their patio which is behind the building and away from street noise - it is private and very comfortable. As the name (Deli and Brew) might indicate, the menu leans heavily towards excellent deli sandwiches and the menu includes a nice varity of their local brews. My favorite sandwichs are either the Pastrami (that I had today) or the State and Main which is a pastrami/ corned beef combination. I prefer their potato salad which is excellent while my wife prefers the cole slaw which is also excellent. Serivce was great and the food was excellent.

My usual order is the Reuben on rye with corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss, and Russian dressing. It's always my go-to and never disappoints. I also recently tried the State & Main on rye with corned beef, pastrami, and coleslaw, which was another solid choice. I've heard great things about the Paesano on an Italian sub bun with ham, hot capicola, pepperoni, provolone, lettuce, tomato, onion, banana peppers, and Italian dressing (can be served hot or cold). A friend's favorite is the Figaboudit on grilled ciabatta with prosciutto, fig jam, goat cheese, and arugula. If you go, don't skip the homemade chips with the house-made sour cream and onion dip--it's easily my favorite thing on the menu and worth ordering as a side or appetizer.

I stopped by, it was early in morning, the place was empty, I saw couple of deliveries people picking up their food, the staffs was friendly, I read over the menu, I actually forgot what I ordered, because this review is way past due, maybe 3 weeks past due. But I do remember is one of them combo But first thing first, the two ladies behind the counter is really nice and friendly, I love dealing with an adult instead of those younger generation that don't care for their customers, just show up for their paycheck, if you know what I mean. Lady that serving me asked if I need some suggestion or help for recommendations, very nice and friendly. I ordered (once again I can't remember the name). The sandwich itself is very good, came with side of fruit as you can see on my photo, like I mentioned before, is a good healthy lunch, not too big of the portion. The reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because couple of my grapes gone bad, they should have checked and take them out before serving to the customer. Because they claim they make the orders when it comes in, so the kitchen should have spot it Overall, definitely recommend and will go back

    I had just come from PT and was hungry. I did a Yelp search and this is the 1st Pl., Yelp directed…read moreme too, so I gave it a try. I'm glad I did I was probably greeted by the hostess. Whom placed me at a very nice table. I looked over the menu, which had a little something for everybody. To be honest I liked that, plus there wasnt an over abundance of items... it was that goldilocks moment... just right. I decided to try the grape leaves. I asked if they had made them themselves and they did -which is what pushed me in the direction. You get two very stuffed grape leaves --that are definitely made in house. I was not really a fan of the lemon sauce that they use. I didnt dislike it, I felt it was a tad too thick and not enough lemon. However, I seemed to eat all of it, which is something I dont do at most places, so despite it needing more lemon I must of liked it more than I initially realized. As far as ambience, it still has the footprint of the former sushi restaurant. the bar is completely unchanged. however, they have these lovely little lilac flowers or Japanese cherry flowers hanging from trellises throughout the entire back dining room. makes it look lovely. This transforms it into its own identity. i liked it. They had soft music playing. I wasn't sure if it was Mediterranean or Spanish, but I enjoyed it. I liked my time there The one thing that needs mentioned is the pricing of the salad proteins. This is confusing. I was going to order a salad but the menu had it listed the price of a salad. Them below protiens. The price listed on menu is not in addition to salad. Its the final price of the salad. I did not realize that and thus didnt order the salad. I also didn't like being quoted 10.80 for my total and then having it changed because I used American Express to 11 something. Personally, I feel businesses should make it a little easier for their customer in the cost of doing business should be at the restaurants expense in that situation. I probably would've tipped more had they not popped up my price Tbo Would I come back? absolutely. However, I will bring cash the next time so my bill doesnt go up. Lol.

    Miamar Grill delivered a truly outstanding experience today…read more We went with two chopped salads, one topped with beef and one with salmon, and both were excellent. The salmon was cooked just right, and the beef was tender and juicy. The salad itself was fresh and flavorful, not an afterthought.

She also mentioned their Mother's Day special, 10% off your total bill plus a free dessert for Mom. It's a great balance of fresh and filling, which isn't always easy to find. Definitely a spot worth coming back to. Miamar Grill 732 N State St Westerville, OH 43081 Miamargrill.com

I believe their breakfast cookie is a best seller and I can see why. Chocolate chips and dried cherries?? Scrumptious and soft! I like the small and minimalist feel of their interior. It feels more hometown instead of a chain. Even with only a few people working, they kept the orders coming at a great speed. I was happy to get my food within minutes. I eyed the cinnamon roll pretty hard, so I look forward to trying that next!

The Chicken Pot Pie Soup? Well, let's just say it leaned more "cream of chicken" than "pot pie." The crusty topping... I'm not sure what sorcery that was, but it had the texture of something between a crouton and a pulverized Ritz cracker that lost its way. Not bad, just... confusing. cracker The Mama's Meatball, though, stole the show. Delicious, saucy, and stacked like it's proud of itself. The peppers gave it just the right kick. And Zapp's chips? Always a chaotic good choice. Overall, great lunch, great company, and a reminder that Potbelly still knows how to make comfort food without overcomplicating it. Would I come back? Absolutely. Just maybe I'll skip the soup--or bring a pie crust of my own next time.
