Art's Pizza Palace No 1

Art's is one of those great hometown places that I always try to visit when I come home.  They are famous around town for their Italian roastbeef sandwiches, but I actually have not ever had one... and yes, my family members gasp and try to disown me when they find this out.  I just can't ever bring myself to NOT eat the pizza when I'm there.  They cut their pizza into rectangular strips... one cut down the middle in one direction, then numerous cuts in the other direction... not the typical triangular wedge slices.  

We have done take-out and eaten at the restaurant and had a positive experience each time.  We once did the lunch buffet... if none of the three pizzas on the cart strike your fancy, you can request a pizza to be made... and they also had spaghetti and a dessert pizza out.  I tried their BBQ Chicken Pizza on my most recent visit and I gotta say... I think I found my new favorite thing!  Dee-lish!  And since this is one of my all-time favorite foods, I'm kinda hard to please when it comes to my BBQ chicken pizzas!  Always a good amount of cheese, sauce, and toppings... and I love their crust (e.g., pizzas are hand-tossed, not pan).

All in all, this is a great locally-owned restaurant with a casual vibe.  A great place to go with a group of people.

I've only ever eaten one thing here: the Italian roast beef sandwich. It is the most delicious sandwich in the state of Indiana. They slow roast the beef in a tomato based sauce, then serve it with melted cheese and peppers. It is a messy sandwich, but who cares when there's a party in your mouth. I live in Indy and it is well worth the drive to Anderson!
