One thing I've learned from my "career" as a pizza blogger, is that you can find decent pizza in places where you would never expect it.
We have long been fans of Frisch's awesome chicken and have served it at many family gatherings, but never tried their pizza. Actually, I didn't even know they made pizza until I took a close look at their menu. Frisch's was packed after Sunday's Steelers game, so other people had the same idea.
It turned out to be very good. The crust was thick with crisp edges, and tasted homemade. The sauce was mild and slightly chunky - all in all, very enjoyable. The cheese was very thick, very gooey, and tasted fresh. If you like loads of cheese, you'll definitely like this pizza!
The only downside was, to me, the cheese - I had asked for "easy on the cheese" because of my ongoing attempt to control my cholesterol, but it came loaded with about a 1/2" thick layer of cheese. I just pulled it off. Oh well!
Frisch's has a very extensive menu and I've enjoyed any item of theirs that I have ever tried. Menu items include fresh soups, many sandwiches, salads - by the pound or prepared, pizza, pizza calzones, wedgies, seafood (fish, shrimp, scallops, and tuna melt), side orders, broasted chicken (again ... awesome!), wings, and desserts. They also offer value meals, which include buckets and barrels of chicken and a hoagie/pizza combination, and a kid's menu.
Frisch's also has a large catering menu that includes hoagies and sandwich rings, party trays, homemade pastas, ribs salads, and chicken among many other items ... the perfect thing for a busy Holiday season.
