The original Pizza King was opened in 1957 in the city of Lafayette by a man named Wendell Swartz. Today, there are too many locations to count. You can find this popular local chain in just about every major city and town in Indiana.
The restaurants are typically very laid back and casual. Guests enjoy excellent service from friendly staff members in an environment that is ideal for any occasion.
Pizza King is known as the first ever restaurant to serve a type of pie known as "Sir Pizza." This amazing style of pizza is very thin and has little to no crust due to the toppings being loaded on to every inch.
The other thing that sets Indiana's best pizza chain apart is the crumbly toppings. Forget sliced pepperoni and big chunks of sausage at this place. The texture is amazing.
In addition to pizza, this place also sells submarine sandwiches, salads, Stromboli, and pasta. Everything is made fresh to-order and is good to the last bite.
These historical restaurants are some of the best pizza places in Indiana, and if you haven't tried it yet, you're definitely missing out. You'll want to take a bite of all their delicious eats right away.
