I Heart Cincinnati
This Week's Spot: Dewey's Pizza
3014 Madison Rd. (Oakley)
More locations throughout the city
Cuisine: Gourmet Pizza, Salads, Wine
If you're adventurous with your pizza toppings, this is the place to go. As soon as you walk in the door, it's a fun atmosphere. You get to watch the chefs twirl and throw the dough around as they make your pizza! The menu has something for everyone, from the more conservative "X-Pep" (pepperoni extravaganza!) to the more adventurous "Socrates' Revenge" or "Edgar Allen Poe". When we are in the mood for some wine and good conversation, my friend, Rachel (hi Rach!) and I head to Dewey's. We usually get a glass (or bottle, let's be serious) of wine, we each get a salad, then we go for either individual calzones, or a medium pizza (half X-Pep, half Bronx Bomber, sans olives). Mmmmm delish! If you're not stuffed from the main course, they sell Bonbonerie's "Opera Cream Cake" there as well which is layers of chocolatey creamy goodness! :)
My Recommendation: The Candied Walnut and Grape Salad
Even the "side" portion is a good size or you can add chicken and make it a meal! The citrus-basil dressing is DELICIOUS and even though it's a pizza joint, I have gone to Dewey's many times solely for this salad...YUM!

I Heart Cincinnati
Growing up in Cincinnati there was once a time, mostly as a young teenager, that I couldn't wait to move out of town. "This city is so boring!" was a common line heard on the weekends from me and my fellow 15-year-old friends. However, after moving to Columbus for college I realized just how much I love my home sweet home and how much this great city has to offer. I decided to start a list of some of my favorite spots around the city. I'll be adding one at a time, so be sure to check back for new featured hot spots!
This Week's Spot: The Green Papaya
2942 Wasson Rd
Hyde Park
Cuisine: Thai, Sushi, Vegetarian
I first discovered this little gem when I went out for a "Girl's Night" with a couple of friends. The restaurant itself is small and cozy and the staff is super friendly! The four of us got a couple bottles of wine and ordered a variety of sushi rolls to split. Their Pad Thai is yummy but they offer a huge selection of other entrees filled with veggies that are delish!
My Recommendation: The Green Papaya Roll!
Do not go here without trying this one at least once. Shrimp tempura, salmon, cream cheese, mango, spicy mayo, and crab stick....AMAZING.
Also great: The TaTA Roll! Perfect for a sushi beginner because it's deep-fried. And let's face it, that makes everything delicious!
