Boombozz Pizza and Taphouse is a local Louisville chain, and has some of the best pizza I’ve ever had that wasn’t made by somebody from Naples.  There are several locations spread across Louisville, as well as one across the river in Indiana.

Their food is tasty, well done, and filling.  Our favorites are the toasted ravioli and soft pretzels for appetizers, the pesto chicken grinder and farmer’s market calzone for sandwiches, and the Nonna and Margherita pizzas.

The restaurants are basically sports bars with great food and excellent local and mass-market beers.  If you go on a night when UofL or UK are playing anything, you’ll get a taste of what its like to live here as a college sports agnostic.

Dinner for two at Boombozz comes, for us, to between $40 and $50, depending on whether one of us has a beer.  It’s slightly pricier than other pizza restaurants in the area, but the quality of the food and the service are heads and shoulders above the competition.
