In an age of corporations with cookie cutter locations, there’s an Indiana based pizza chain that bucks all trends.

Founded in 1956, there are locations all around the Indiana and every self respecting Hoosier I know will tell you that Pizza King pizza is a literal slice of Home and Heaven.

I visited one in Muncie a couple of years ago and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Fantastic service, my kind of atmosphere and absolutely delicious food left me feeling happy and wishing I could go back another time on that trip.

I was reminded of this recently when my blogging pal over at Hiding in Plain Sight posted this story about a Pizza King location he made out of Lego. Check it out. He gives a lot of history and the Lego model is pretty cool too.

I found this 2019 story from Indiana Public Media that says that while the food is consistent, each location has its own character. I truly enjoyed the character of the one I visited even though I’m not certain which of the several Muncie locations that was exactly.

In addition to a darn good salad and veggie pizza, I liked the ordering system. You just pick up the phone receiver and someone in the kitchen takes your order. It wasn’t long at all before a waitress brought my food.

I would absolutely go back if given the chance and I’m a little sad there’s no Pizza King near me. Want to drool over their menu? Find it here!
