Specialty pizzas, classic pastas, and fried seafood are served in relaxed surroundings with a full bar. This family-owned restaurant already has one location in Ada and will soon open another one in Dilworth.
At this restaurant, you’ll find delicious taco pizza, chicken bacon ranch pizza, and calzones that are beautifully prepared. In addition, they offer pizza as “Take N’ Bake” so that it can be taken home uncooked and baked later on in your oven.
All American
The All-American pizza is distinguished by a hand-stretched thin or thick crust made with wheat grown primarily in North Dakota and Minnesota, featuring fresh yeast that ferments for extended periods to create flavor and texture. Long fermentation times help produce its distinctive taste and texture; sweet vine-ripened tomatoes seasoned with oregano or thyme, as well as occasional touches of garlic, are used as the sauce base, with low moisture mozzarella cheese combined with New England cheddar, with an additional light sprinkle of imported Romano cheese added post-baking.
Pepperoni remains the go-to topping, closely followed by onions and mushrooms. Vegetarian pizzas are growing more popular as an option, as are meatless ones for those seeking to reduce consumption or try something different. All American also provides salads and calzones.
All American Pizzeria in Yonkers, Rye Brook, Armonk, and Stamford, Connecticut, serves specialty pizzas and calzones featuring meatballs, sausage, and chicken, in addition to appetizers like wings and bread sticks as well as dessert sundaes. Each location is family-owned and operated, and all locations offer online ordering for delivery; gluten-free options can also be found in some areas (excluding Stamford).

Buffalo Chicken
The legendary Buffalo chicken pizza is an iconic dish emblematic of Buffalo, NY, and represents all it stands for as an experience! More than simply food, its flavor takes you straight into the heart of city life.
Buffalo sauce’s tart flavor pairs beautifully with pizza, while chicken adds protein and crunchiness. To keep this pizza healthy, look for grilled or broiled options instead of fried ones; adding extra vegetables – especially ones high in vitamin A like lettuce and tomatoes or with other nutritional value such as carrot ribbons and celery – can further increase the nutritional value of this meal.
Another way to make this dish healthier is to select a light dressing or sauce. Many popular buffalo chicken condiments such as blue cheese or ranch contain high amounts of calories and saturated fat; opting for homemade versions made with vinegar and spices could add bold, tangy flavor without extra calories and saturated fat.
Try this Buffalo Chicken Couscous Bowl for a nutritious lunch to be enjoyed at home or on the go. It offers delicious and filling food, including lean meat, fiber-rich vegetables, and dairy, to help promote weight control while increasing satiety.
Chicken Bacon Ranch
An irresistibly delicious twist on an American classic featuring ranch dressing and bacon! This version features shredded chicken with chopped bacon layered between layers of cheese. A creamy ranch dip, mozzarella cheese, and green onion complete the toppings on this crispy pizza before it is baked in the oven until golden in color – an excellent way to utilize leftover chicken from rotisserie!
Mix sour cream, mayonnaise, and ranch dressing mix until well mixed in a bowl until combined. Homemade ranch will remain intact during baking while surpassing store-bought versions both in terms of taste and quality.
Place a pizza crust on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet. Spread ranch dip evenly, leaving about an inch border around its perimeter, before topping it off with minced garlic and shredded cheese. Next, layer in cooked bacon bits followed by shredded chicken before topping it all off with 2 cups (8oz) shredded mozzarella cheese (8oz). Bake 15-20 minutes or until bubbly, then allow it to stand 5 minutes before placing it back in the oven to garnish with some parsley for extra color and freshness!
Taco Pizza
Taco Pizza is an exquisite combination of taco and pizza that will add something special to any dinner table! Made with ground beef, salsa, and other classic Mexican toppings, it makes an excellent weeknight dinner or casual party appetizer.
Taco Pizza originated in Davenport, Iowa, where Happy Joe’s founder, Joe Whitty, created it after being denied permission by franchisees to add tacos to their menu. Uninhibited and creative despite this setback, Whitty devised this delicious treat!
To create your taco pizza, follow the same steps for making a regular pizza with red enchilada sauce instead of traditional pizza sauce. While cooking your ground beef, mix it with refried beans before spreading it onto the crust. Finally, sprinkle shredded cheese before baking for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and bubbly!
Serve Taco Pizza with sides such as sour cream, guacamole, or salsa to complete this well-rounded dish that’ll please both pizza and taco lovers! Plus, it can easily be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator before you’re ready to reheat – great as a packed lunch option, too!
