26 in 2026: Try One New Pizza Place -- Manypenny Bistro

 Not sure if we'd ever be back to Bayfield County, I wanted to have pizza in Bayfield. The options were limited. The best option looked to be Manypenny Bistro. 

Manypenny Bistro is located downtown Bayfield on the corner of Manypenny Ave and Second St. It is open daily 7-9 during the summer. Street parking is available. We got lucky and parked across the street. 

There is something for everyone. From burger and pizza to entrees and salads. You could go upscale or keep it simple. We went with pizza and mozzarella sticks. 

Honestly the mozzarella sticks were disappointing. They were no better than the box stuff I can get in the freezer section. I understand if you don't want to make them homemade but if you are going to go the frozen route, get some decent quality ones not ones that taste frozen. 

The pizza on the other hand was good. It is wood stone oven pizza which is not the same as wood fired pizza. I was hoping for a little bit of char. The crust was more of traditional style crust that we would find at Luigi's. The sausage was actually very good. 

Overall it wasn't a bad experience. I would go back and probably try a sandwich or entree. If you are in Bayfield, I would definitely recommend trying Manypenny Bistro. Everything looked good.

Pizza Snob Adventures: Cesario's Pizzeria Rossville

 When I realized that Chattanooga was on the TN/GA border, I went on search for pizza in Georgia. We already had pizza in Tennessee so I figured it was a good time as any to have pizza in Georgia. A quick search resulted in Cesario's Pizzeria in Rossville. It was only 15-20 minutes from our hotel and rated really well.

Cesario's Pizzeria Rossville is located in an old industrial area of Rossville. If you aren't looking for it, you may miss it. Cesario's is open 11-9 most days. Fridays they stay open until 10 and Sundays they are open 12-8. There is a parking lot. 

We were asked if we waned to eat inside or outside. It was a beautiful evening so we opted for outside which meant a covered patio. It was perfect and reminded me of being in Arizona. I will always take the outside option if they weather is nice.

The menu has wood fired pizza along with pasta, salad, and sandwiches. There was no build your own option for the pizza so we went went with cheese. The hubby was hesitant to do meat lovers in case it was spicy. We also got some cheese sticks. Like most wood fired pizza, there is only one size.

The cheese sticks were very good. They were toasted to perfection. 

Our pizza was amazing. It was fired to perfection. We devoured that pizza quickly.

I asked if the hubby wanted cannoli for later but he was full. They also had gelato and tiramisu for dessert. 

If we are ever back in Chattanooga area, I would definitely go back to Cesario's Pizzeria Rossville. If you are craving pizza while in Chattanooga, check out Cesario's Pizzeria in Rossville just across the border.
