Pizza Gallery

One of the newer pizza restaurants in Terre Haute, the Pizza Gallery is located where Rollie’s pizza use to be when they were out by Lost Creek elementary school on US 40 east of town. Let’s be blunt here, the joint looks a bit like a dive from the outside. The inside, however is clean and tidy and looks like many other Mom and Pop pizza joints. While I did see the inside of the restaurant, It is probably unfair of me to review the inside experience. Our order was take out. I am a fan of what I call «gunky» pizza. I like lots of different toppings. Some purists might not agree with me but give me a supreme pizza any day over a single topping pepperoni pizza. My wife indulged me this time and we ordered the supreme pizza. We both enjoyed the pie quite a lot. It was full of cheese and the sauce was not too acidic. I’m not overly fond of acidic tomato sauce. The toppings were fresh and the pizza was well cooked. For my personal taste I would have liked the crust to be just a little crisper but I’m pretty sure that McNair’s first law of pizza, which states that the quality of the pizza experience is inversely proportional to the distance you have to take the pizza to eat it, came into play. While I enjoyed the pizza when I got home with it, I’m sure it would have been better at the restaurant. The pizza was good enough that we will order again sometime. If i could i would bump my rating up to 3.5 stars.

If you drive by pizza gallery you probably wouldn’t expect much from the appearance on the outside but don’t let that stop you from trying it. Great pizza (although I would recommend getting the large because the smaller sizes just don’t seem the same.) but the thing that will bring you back are the breadsticks! They sit in a little pool of garlic butter… They are absolutely delicious! I’ve also had their Calzones and they’re also very good and reasonably priced.
The seating area inside is actually kinda nice. Nothing fancy by any means but just to get some pizza with your friends or family I would definitely recommend it.
Coming from Detroit there aren’t many places I really like in Terre Haute but pizza gallery is my recommendation for pizza in town!

WARNING: injury to your family may follow if you choose to go here. Allow me to explain…
I decided to take my wife here for Valentines Day. I was tired of the big chain restaraunts that we’ve been to a hundred times. I wanted something off the beaten path and not so predictable. I had heard that this place had opened on the east side of Terre Haute a few months ago and it piqued my interest. I went online to check it out, as I do with many places I’ve never been to. However, I found very little aside from a measly facebook page that was lack of a description, pictures, menu or anything else of much use. I called to see if they were open, which, of course, they were.
We pulled up to the place and I immediately had second thoughts. The place was kinda creepy. It’s right next to a shady looking motel and the exterior is a little run down. We sat in the car for a couple minutes deciding if we even wanted to go in. Summing the boldness of the pizza gods, we marched in determined not to cave in to the corporate standbys. The inside is sooo much better than the outside. I was immediately put at ease and we ordered our food. We went with breadsticks and calzones. For $ 22, I had high expectations. So we grabbed a seat and waited…
Let me tell you, what followed next was mind-​altering. This was some of the best food I’ve ever put in my mouth! Most breadsticks are doughy and lifeless, but these were awesome! A little crispy in the outside and perfect inside. They were brushed with garlic butter which made them even better. The calzones were… I don’t know what word to use. I guess this is where the injury part comes into play. The phrase that comes to my mind is: slap-​yo-​mama-​good! Do not go here with your mother, the food is so good, you’ll be tempted to slap her (it only applies to your mom, I don’t know why, don’t ask so many questions). Seriously, it was incredibly good. You have your choice of 3 toppings and sauce. I went with chicken, mushroom, and green pepper. Eating this was like a little Italy festival in my mouth. It was beautiful! Each calzone could nearly feed two people, depending on how much you want to stuff your face. Next time I think we’ll opt for just one and split it. On the other hand, we have the leftovers the next day and it was just as good.
I struggled between 4 and 5 stars. Yet I can’t overlook the weak online presence and the sketchy looking exterior, which are both part of the experience. We will absolutely return to this place. Our taste buds will demand it. We didn’t try their pizza but If it’s anything like their calzones, it’s a winner. The food, staff, and interior were excellent. I fully recommend this place. Go here. Support this local business. Enjoy the food. Just be cautious about taking your mom.

Excellent Pizza and Breadstcks! No complaints. Very quick and affordable watch out Sweet Lou’s
