It is very close to our hotel. By any chance are there any coupons in Louisville papers for Impellizzari"s? We have a lot of hungry people to feed.

Just spoke to the manager there. He said it is sometimes a 1-2 hour wait for pizzas there. Are they worth it?

IMO...yes. And the fact that they have waits that long should stand for itself.

Hey Ox...

That isn't the same one. The one by you is run by the brother of the owner of the one in the Highlands, and is not as good.

OK, I am definately going to give it a try! Love to try new places. Can't wait!

Wonder if the manager will ask me who recommended his place?

Rockmom is right...Impellizzari's is AWESOME. I had a meat lovers last night, very good, the pizza is better than Wick's, as far as atmosphere, Wick's and it are two totally different kind of places...so it depends on what you are in the mood for.

As far as quality of pizza though, Impellizzari's wins for sure. A little expensive, but you get a lot of pizza for that price. A small was roughly $30 bucks, but it looks like I'm going to get three meals out of it, so at $10 a meal, it isn't bad.

Hey Ox...

Hey now, I am actually very mellow nice guy if I have to say so myself. You have to be to live with a T/UL fan.

Big fan of Macca's too...LOVE the enviroment!

I can't help but laugh to know that your wife is a UL/T fan. That is quality!

Hey Rockmom...he'll be much easier than Ox was.

The Highlands store would be my first choice!

$30 for a small??? Holy Cow! I have to feed about 25 people on a high school budget. What does a large cost?

oops...thats environment

Stopped by Impellazzi's last night at 5:00. Ordered pizza to be picked up at *8:30 p.m. Walked in at exactly 8:30 and Tony was cutting the pizza, fresh and hot! It was a huge hit with our team! Two thumbs up!

I'm so glad they liked it! I was sort of feeling some pressure...I mean...my pizza-queen crown was riding on this.

I'm thinking about having one for myself tonight...It's been a week or so...I'm having withdrawals.

LOL, I too was having some pressure. I also, consider myself to be the pizza queen. I am always in charge of the pizza for our team, and usually, there are no complaints. If you are ever in Northern Ky, pm me.

My team has always counted on the Wick's fix, so I was very nervous. Overall, I have to say, both are excellent, both have character.......it is a great, tough choice between two excellent places. Tony at Impellazzi's and his staff won as far as the personal hands on touch is concerned. I felt as if I walked into my friends business. We had a large order, and they were perfect! No parking problems. Our waitress wrote an old fashioned hand written order with a promise it would be ready, and it WAS to the detail. While writing our order, she conversed with several regular customers. Kentucy service at its best. We felt quite at home.

Ironically, we over ordered and invited the staff of our hotel to join us. They wanted to know where we got such great pizza. I said...........Evidently you need tourist to tell you how to buy in your own area! Gave them a copy of our menu........

I should work on comission.



Love visiting Louisville!
