Passing through Central Indiana on the way home, my husband started pointing out every single Pizza King. He went to college in Central Indiana, and yearned for a taste of nostalgia. Not having tried a Pizza King before, I found this one in Medaryville, and decided to give it a try.
We ordered breadsticks with nacho dipping cheese and a large pepperoni pizza. Three breadsticks came in the order, and they were so big, that it was really like getting six normal sized breadsticks. They tasted fresh, and not frozen...score!! The dipping cheese was really good too. We were expecting the typical orange cheese a-la-gas station, but this was seasoned well, and it tasted like actual cheese.
The pizza was excellent. The sauce was a little on the sweeter side. Just a touch of sweet that cancelled out the acidity of the tomatoes. Cheese blend was fair. The pepperoni was chopped and crumbled, which made it less greasy then disk shaped pepperoni. The crust of this pizza was excellent. The bottom of the pizza reminded me of a Neapolitan style of pizza (read: wood fired). It was excellent.
The service was wonderful. Actual politeness and small town charm. We can't wait to return on our next road trip, and we WILL drive out of our way to support this fine establishment. read more
