JACKSON TWP. Pizza, stromboli, antipasto salad.
These are a few of my favorite things (it's a long list), and I found stellar examples of all three at Lindsey's Pizza.
Face it, carbs and cheese can be therapeutic in gloomy wintertime. And they're a natural fit, along with drawstring pants, for Super Bowl Sunday.
Lindsey's, a carryout-only operation located in Hillsdale Plaza at 2827 Whipple Ave. NW, has been serving up Italian food since April 2009. And from the sound of things, business is vigorous.
"We get so busy Friday and Saturday nights, we have to take the phone off the hook. It gets insane. I'll have five (delivery) drivers working," said Jon Lindsey, the 1976 Timken High grad and Lindsey's namesake. His business partner is Mike Guidone.
"Strombolis and calzones, we sell a ton of those," said Lindsey, whose workday begins at 5 a.m. He urges early ordering for the Super Bowl.
The stromboli at Lindsey's was chewy, cheesy and close to perfection. I ordered the regular ($7.75) with capicola, pepperoni and melted provolone. The sweetness in the red dipping sauce offset the spicy meats well. A deluxe stromboli ($9.25) adds salami, mushrooms, banana peppers and onion to the regular. There also are cheesesteak and grilled chicken versions.
My four-slice personal pan pizza was loaded with both flavor and toppings. I chose the Extreme Bianco ($8.75), with garlic butter sauce, bacon, tomato, banana peppers, black olives and plenty of browned cheese, and a crispy crust. Other specialty pizzas, available in personal, small and large sizes, include buffalo chicken, meat lovers, veggie and Hawaiian.
There's even a breakfast pizza, available in all sizes, with garlic butter sauce, ham, sausage, scrambled eggs and cheddar cheese. This is an especially popular item in the morning, said Lindsey, whose pizzeria opens at 8 a.m. daily.
Heavy in its Styrofoam box, the antipasto salad ($9.75) was enormous and loaded with toppings, and the house Italian dressing was notably zesty. A bed of crisp iceberg lettuce was piled with sliced pepperoni, salami, ham and capicola, black olives, banana peppers, sliced tomato, croutons and shredded provolone. As a meal, two people could split this salad and a stromboli or personal pizza and be very happy.
After these first three palate-pleasers, the rigatoni and meatball entree ($8.25 including a dinner salad) still sitting on the counter seemed a little unexciting. And yet, the red sauce was mellow and memorable, and the two meatballs, housemade daily, were good. A sprinkle of cheese might've dressed it up.
It's not just Italian fare at Lindsey's.
"I bought five new fryers because we sell so much chicken, wings and broasted potatoes," Lindsey told me. Lindsey's sells about 30 cases of wings, 200 wings per case, each week, he said.
The menu, available online at LindseysPizza.com, includes calzones, a spicy Italian sausage dinner, various broasted chicken dinners, breaded or deep-fried wings in six flavors, five different subs, Grecian and grilled-chicken salads, pepperoni rolls, stuffed mushrooms, cheddar jalapeño poppers and cheesy hashbrowns.
