Puccini's Smiling Teeth Pizza

Begun in Indianapolis, this regional chain built its reliably strong business on pizza, pastas, and salads. The assortment of pies ranges from the Southwest-inspired Cactus Delectus (no cactus) to the Bar 20 (barbecued chicken, red onions, smoked gouda) to the Shrimp Santori (enlivened with sesame chili oil and fresh basil). Meat-free options can also be ordered, and pasta dishes are broad as well. You'll find everything from diavolo to cacciatore to vodka cream varieties to tempt your taste buds. Calzones, salads, and sandwiches also make welcome appearances.
