THE TROLL PUB AT THE WHEELHOUSE One of the newest restaurants in the Miami Valley is The Troll Pub at The Wheelhouse, housed on the first floor of the renovated Weustoff & Getz factory building that was built in 1868. Inside diners will find tabletops made from repurposed wood from the ceiling, hand-selected lighting from the early 1900s and custom chandeliers constructed out of old wagon wheels.

The original Troll Pub restaurant opened in Louisville, Kentucky, in 2011 and the Dayton restaurant, which opened in March 2018, is its second location, says Chad Werra, gen-

eral manager. The pub-style food includes sandwiches, pasta, pizza, wings, burgers and steak, he says.

Werra has a couple of suggestions for firsttimers to the restaurant. “Our beer cheeseburger and beer cheese and pretzel appetizer are a must have,” he says. The cheeseburger comes on a pretzel bun with deep-fried onions smothered in the beer cheese. Warra says the beer cheese is made in-house with Shiner Bock and Sierra Nevada beer.

“We also have an Angry Alfredo that is made to order and has a little flavorful heat,” says Warra. The Angry Alfredo includes penne pasta, Alfredo sauce, tomato, spinach, grilled chicken and bacon. “A huge majority

of our food is made in-house so it is fresh and very tasty,” he says.

As the name suggests, The Troll Pub at The Wheelhouse includes a full bar with 60 bottled and canned beers, 32 draft beers, eight different wines, over 100 types of bourbon and at least another 50 types of other spirits, says Warra.

But just because alcohol is served doesn’t mean The Troll Pub at The Wheelhouse isn’t kid-friendly. “We have a separate kids menu and our dining room is away from the bar so it is welcoming to all,” Warra says.

BELLA SORELLA PIZZA CO. When it comes to fresh ingredients Bella Sorella Pizza Co. may have the freshest in town. That’s because the business that is owned and operated by two sisters grows and harvests most of the toppings and ingredients for its pizzas on their family farm, including organic vegetables, herbs, eggs and pork.

The two sisters who have a passion for good food—Elizabeth Corrado Weizman and Gail Corrado Okafor— operate Bella Sorella Pizza Co.’s two mobile pizza ovens, the only mobile pizza business in Day ton. Bella Sorella means “beautiful sister” in Italian and these sisters are starting their seventh season with the food trucks.

Corrado Okafor spent 12 years in California’s Bay Area training to become a professional chef while

Corrado Weizman built her first outdoor brick oven eight years ago. Since then she has diligently practiced and refined her skills as a pizza maker.

The majority of Bella Sorella Pizza Co.’s business is now private catering such as weddings, corporate lunches and graduation parties, but it is a regular at Yellow Springs Brewery and other select area festivals.

A nd who wouldn’t want Bella Sorella Pizza Co. catering an event with tasty and unique fare like a buffet of hand-tossed pizzas that are baked over an 800-degree, wood-fired oven, sides such as fresh salads, appetizers and home-made cannoli?

Bella Sorella Pizza Co. offers a huge variety of pizzas that change with the season so when something is very fresh and in abundance it gets put on a pizza.

SEASONS BISTRO AND GRILLE Although many items have been on Seasons Bistro and Grille’s menu for years because of customer loyalty owners Doug McGregor and Margaret Mattox like to mix it up every so often.

“We change our menu seasonally, which is how we keep things fresh and interesting for our community as well as for ourselves and our staff,” says Mattox. The brother and sister team, which opened the restaurant in Springfield in 2008, enjoy playing with dishes from around the world and love to put their personal spin on some classics as well, she says.

Using many fresh, local ingredients in their food is also important, Mattox says.

“There are so many great farms around us and we are grateful for the opportunity to partner with them to serve fresh and local products,” she says.

One of those local farms from which the restaurant sources ingredients is Blue Jacket Dairy in Bellefontaine, which uses cow and goat milk to make fresh, artisan

cheese. “We also love Blue Jacket Dairy’s Gretna Grilling cheese, which we serve with grilled bread and different toppings seasonally,” says Mattox.

Other popular items on Seasons Bistro and Grille’s menu include the bison burger, filet of beef, coffee-encrusted sirloin with Gorgonzola cream sauce and bibimbap, a Korean rice bowl, she says. “Our customers love those dishes so much that we can’t take them off the menu,” Mattox says.

The restaurant has a pizza and pasta special every day for lunch that changes daily along with a catch special and a pasta special during dinner service that changes weekly, she says. “Our soups are also incredibly popular and we feature three soups daily,” says Mattox.

In addition to food, the restaurant also features a new local artist every season and hosts an opening reception for the public to meet the featured artist, she says.

HICKORY RIVER SMOKEHOUSE 135 S. Garber Drive • Tipp City, Ohio • 937-669-BBQ1 (2271) • hickoryriver.com

Many restaurants like to offer limited-time food items to attract new customers or appeal to existing customers.

Over the past year, Hickory River Smokehouse in Tipp City has been experimenting with limited-time sandwich offerings and has had so much success a few of their new sandwiches are now part of their everyday menu.

“We like to give our customers something new to try by introducing different flavors and food combinations,” says owner Dan Davis. “Last year we featured a Bacon Queso Pulled Pork sandwich and a Smoked Turkey BLT. So far this year we are offering a Jalapeno Jack Brisket sandwich and in April we are introducing a “Texas ’Cue-ban,” our take on a traditional Cuban sandwich.” The ’Cue-ban consists of smoked ham, pulled pork, sliced pickles, honey mustard and queso, served on warm Texas Toast.

pulled pork, two thick strips of peppered bacon, queso and Hickory River’s signature barbecue sauce. The Jalapeno Jack Brisket sandwich is served with hand-sliced brisket, pepper-jack cheese, pickled jalapenos and its barbecue sauce. Both of these limited-time sandwiches have become so popular they are now part of Hickory River’s everyday menu.

Hickory River offers each limited-time sandwich for a three-month period before moving on to the next featured sandwich. A fan favorite, the Bacon Queso Pulled Pork, highlights their Ohio State Fair Grand Champion

“Offering new menu items,” says Davis, “along with our ribs, pulled pork, chicken, ham, turkey and sausage gives our customers yet another reason to come to Hickory River Smokehouse and experience our barbecue.”

SPINOZA’S PIZZA & SALADS Spinoza’s Pizza & Salads, located in the Mall at Fairfield Commons in Beavercreek, is celebrating its 10-year anniversary this year. The restaurant, owned and operated by Glen Brailey, serves gourmet, hearth-baked pizza and fresh, artisan salads along with craft beer and wine.

“I have always believed in the idea of being ‘narrow in our focus, but deep in our knowledge,’” says Brailey. “This applies to our menu in that we focus on pizza and salads and a handful of related items, rather

than tr y ing to present too many items— such as pasta,” he says.

The most popular item on the menu is the Spinoza Deluxe pizza, says Brailey. “A few years ago someone came out with a list of the ‘Top 10 food items to experience before you die,’” he says. “Our Spinozian Deluxe pizza made that list and the Deluxe remains our No. 1 seller.”

But Brailey learned the hard way that customers also really like Spinoza’s Swirl Bread, an appetizer created with housemade pizza crust with garlic olive oil, fontina cheese and a blend of herbs that is baked and then cut in a swirl pattern to mimic Spinoza’s logo.

“I made the mistake of taking it off the menu last year and was met with an uproar from our guests,” says Brailey. “So it

is back on!”

Other popular items include Spinoza’s new hearth-baked rustic tacos, he says. These upscale-style tacos are built on authentic El Milagro corn tortillas and include ingredients such as Mexican chorizo sausage, Chihuahua cheese, hickory-smoked pulled pork, apple wood bacon and roasted corn and black bean salsa, says Bailey.

One interesting item that people won’t find at most pizza restaurants is ice cream.

Bailey says he makes the artisan ice cream in small batches and combines unique flavors and ingredients. “Our most popular ice creams are the Nutella Chocolate Chip and the Speculoos Ginger Snap,” he says.

The restaurant has a full bar with draft beers from local and regional craft breweries along with wine from small family vineyards and a selection of specialty cocktails that feature house-made citrus juices, Brailey says.

“Our commitment to quality, local sourcing of product and our live music program set us apart from other restaurants, especially the corporate chains,” he says.

MARION’S PIAZZA Despite the recent influx of out-oftown pizza chains that have opened or plan to open locations in the Miami Valley, Marion’s Piazza just keeps packing them into its restaurants.

On a recent weekend, Roger Glass, president of Marion’s Piazza, says all nine of its restaurants’ dining rooms were pretty much full during dinner.

The restaurants seat between 275 and 500 customers, he says.

“There’s a few pizza houses out there that have a little bit of seating, but nobody has anywhere near what we have,” says Glass. “That’s kind of our niche. People, I think, enjoy going out. It takes pizza to another step.

So people still keep jamming in.”

Another reason they keep jamming in after 53 years in business is simple, says Glass. “People just love our pizza,” he says. “We sold over a million pizzas just in the Dayton area alone last year. And that’s a lot of pizza when you start countin’ them, you know?”

People love Marion’s Piazza pizzas because it uses high-quality ingredients, says Glass. “We don’t try to cut corners,” he says. “One of our hallmarks is giving our customers their money’s worth, using top ingredients and loading those pizzas with those ingredients.”

It’s a lesson that’s been honed since his father, Marion Glass, opened the first Marion’s Piazza on Patterson Road in 1965, says Glass. Marion selected the name Marion’s Piazza because he liked the idea of an outdoor cafe but realized that this concept would not be successful in Ohio’s climate. Marion, therefore, successfully brought the outdoors inside with an Italian piazza, or courtyard, and thus the name Marion’s Piazza was born.

CARVERS STEAKS & CHOPS Carvers Steaks & Chops, which opened in 1996, specializes in all types of handcut steaks, prime rib, New Zealand lamb chops, maple cider pork chops, fish and seafood, chicken, ribs and other fine cuisine, says Robert Talty, business development manager.

“Carvers serves only the finest Midwestern, aged steaks hand-cut daily and broiled at 1,800 degrees to lock in all the special flavor and natural juices,” he says.

“In addition to a variety of steaks, the prime rib is a favorite and the entire menu reflects a superior culinary approach with

innovative appetizers, expertly prepared seafood, unique salads, daily fresh-baked bread and in-house specialty desserts.”

Talty says the large- or small-cut filet mignon and New York strip are the most popular steaks in the restaurant.

The mushroom and blue cheese stuffed filet and the Angus beef porterhouse and Kansas City strip are also popular selections, followed by the well-marbled ribeye and the six chop roasted rack of lamb, he says.

The Carvers lounge is a great gathering place for friends and family serving fine wines, craft and traditional beer along with generous pour cocktails, says Talty.

Carvers Steaks & Chops also has live music on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from 8 to midnight, exciting monthly events throughout the year and a special happy hour menu every evening from 5-6:30, he says.

Family events, special occasions and business functions are also popular at Carvers with the Board Room that seats around 60, the East Room that can seat around 25, multiple table seating for smaller groups and the entire restaurant can be rented for afternoon events, says Talty.
