National Pizza Day

-

Pizza comes in lots of shapes and sizes, with tons of options for sauces and toppings. It can be traditional Italian with minimal cheese and fresh toppings, loaded with cheese, or anywhere in between. It can come from a national chain like Pizza Hut, a regional chain like Cincinnati's well-loved LaRosa's or one of many wonderful locally owned and operated pizerias.


Batesville is known for fried chicken and pizza, but on National Pizza Day, I just knew I had to celebrate our local deliverers of deliciousness.

Pizza Haus used to be part of Schmidt Bakery. The same pizza oven that was used at Schmidt is still in use today. You know the crust is amazing! Even with this, Pizza Haus is even better known for its toppings. Have you ever tried sauerkraut on pizza? Because you really should!


Classic Pizza has locations in both Batesville and Sunman, Indiana. If you check out their website you won't find much. But honestly, it's because they don't need to say much. Their food speaks for itself and is a local institution. 

Pizza King is often thought of as a chain, but it's actually a franchise, meaning each location is privately owned. Batesville and Greensburg Pizza Kings are second generation owned and they have definitely perfected the family business. I've had a lot of different Pizza King pizzas, but Batesville is by far the best. 


Ison's Family Pizza is the ultimate in celebrating the community. With an arcade for the kid (or the kid in everyone!), a coach's corner celebrating local sports, a REALLY inexpensive party room, a wall honoring local Veterans and a full service soft-serve bar, there is truly something for everyone! Plus, during CoVid, Ison's is offering $5 make your own pizza kits, available for curbside pickup at Harmeyer's Market.

No matter which you chose, you're guaranteed to enjoy our local pizza, and it's just one more reason I love living in Batesville, Indiana!

Feature Friday: LiL' Charlie's

-
When my husband and I first started dating he was living on the north side of Indianapolis and I was living in Moores Hill but working in Colerain, Ohio.  To say dates meant a lot of compromise and driving is an understatement, so we found a lot of places between our two homes to meet up to save one of us from doing all the driving.  We tried LiL' Charlie's as one of our first meet up dates but for some reason, in all the years since we've been married, we never returned.  When we moved to Batesville several people recommended it and we looked forward to exploring an old date spot. Approaching their 21st anniversary, LiL' Charlies has grown from an 86 seat restaurant to a 210 seat restaurant and brewery with an impressive outdoor seating area.  With a privacy fence, bare bulb overhead lights and a surprisingly good view it doesn't even feel like you're in the middle of town. We've been so many times I've tried nearly everything on the menu, but I do

Everything You Need to Know Before Moving to Batesville Indiana

-
Having grown up in Southeastern Indiana and lived here nearly all my life, I've always loved the city of  City of Batesville.   I was lucky enough to move here last year from two towns over and my husband and I have loved exploring.   What You Need to Know  About Food  Before Moving to Batesville There are tons of locally owned restaurants, pizza places, bars... I could go on, but you get the point.  Watch for my Feature Friday series for my take on all the local joints.  Fried chicken.  And I'm not talking KFC (although we have that too).  Make sure you check out all the local places before deciding which you think is best, and don't be afraid to go just across the county line for (the best) fried chicken.  Think of Oldenburg as Batesville, lite.  Just don't ever tell a Wagner's fan that a country club makes the best fried chicken! Schmidt .  Cherry Thingalings.  Seriously, click the link, you won't be sorry. And when you're feeling really adv

Why Listing With a Realtor is Even More Important in a Seller's Market

We all know a bit about real estate, because whether we rent or own, we all LIVE in real estate! What a lot of people don't realize is how the market changes buying/selling strategies. In a seller's market it's tempting to sell your home For Sale By Owner (FSBO) but even if you can save a few thousand dollars in commission, it's likely going to cost you money along the way. Let me tell you 'bout my best friend (and if you're not singing right now I feel sad for you! ;-) )  On July 26, I met with my best friend to talk about the possibility of selling her home. For this story, let's call her Janet. Janet has owned her house since 2007 and was basing her home's value on that purchasing experience and what she saw online when house hunting. After going over the improvements she has made over the years and talking marketing options, I headed home to do my homework. Reason #1 Janet is glad she has a Realtor: I worked up a Competitive Market Analysis (CMA) bas
