Serendipity ala Groupon brings Indian pizza home for dinner tonight

I was trying to decide what I wanted to do about dinner tonight when Groupon popped up telling me there was an offer nearby.  I pulled off of Cornell and up came an offer from Curry & Crust, an Indian restaurant with a twist...pizza(?!?) of all things.  I had seen the name driving past a few times but had never had a chance to stop before so I decided to give the offer a try. 

I got my large Butter Chicken Pizza to go and took it home. 

The pizza was topped with Home made sauce with  Onions, Green Peppers, Cheese,chicken  and topped with makhani sauce.  I have to say that first of all Butter Chicken is one of my favorite Indian dishes.  Putting it on top of pizza is a gimmick for sure, but one that works.  The flavor was smooth and creamy, with just enough curry and chili to balance the butter and make this a winner.  They got me there with the intrigue of pizza, but I'll be going back in to try a more traditional Indian meal with a variety of dishes after the flavor and quality of this pizza.

If you want a unique pizza experience or are just looking for great Indian food give Curry & Crust a try.

Restaurant Review - Humble Pie Pizza - Lincoln City, OR

We were in town today, and the kids decided they wanted pizza for lunch. We spotted a small place called Humble Pie on the side of the road and decided to give it a try.
We were greeted at the counter by Ken, the owner. His warm welcome and great sense of humor were appreciated, and the menu exactly what you would expect to find in any pizza joint.
When our half pepperoni, half Italian pizza arrived it was awesome. A nice thick yet crunchy crust was topped with just the right amount of sauce. A healthy amount of cheese with quality meat rounded out both sides of this great pie.
The crust had a good balance of yeast that allowed it to be thick without too much chew.
Give Humble Pie a try next time you hit Lincoln City, you won't regret it. It is a slice of Fat Boy Heaven.

Finally - Delivery Pizza that I can eat!

Domino's Pizza this week released a Gluten-Free pizza, and I had to give it a try when the kids started begging for pizza tonight.  Normally I get them pizza and eat a sandwich, but tonight I got pizza too!  The crust is very similar to their normal thin crust.  It's a little more chewy than that crust, but has a great flavor and consistancy.  While I will continue to miss a nice doughy, yeasty crust this is better than nothing....

Dominos is quick to point out when ordering that there is a chance of cross contamination (none of their restaurants have seperate kitchens and dishes to prevent it), so those of you with Celiac or sever gluten issues should be careful, but for those of us with wheat allergies, I can attest that I had none of the problems I would have with any other pizza.  Definately worth a try if you have the craving.
