FKIM01 Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Didn't read all through this to see if anyone else has hit these, but around here, my favorites are 6th street Bobe's in Vincennes and Monical's in Linton. Both awesome for different reasons. Bobes: The Faruch pizza or the loaded stromboli Monicals: Just about any thin crust they offer and a salad with their sweet & tangy house dressing.

I grew up on Bobe's and worked at Mr. Gattis who's pizza was terrible but had a nice game room. My wife is from Central Illinois and turned me on to Monicals. Maybe a little before my time but I remember someone I worked with saying the old hunan garden across from Wendy's was a monicals pizza in the 80's? Agree on Bobe's Faruch btw.

It's good to see Monicals making comeback. Their breadsticks and their sweet and tart dressing is the best. And some damn good thin crust pizza. Plus its makes the wife happy since she followed me down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall there being a Monical's in Vincennes, unless you're talking the very early 80s. I can remember one in Washington, and then in Robinson, IL and Olney, IL, but not one in between. If you're talking about the Wendy's on 6th, there used to be a Noble Roman's (converted to Little Caesars) in the strip mall behind there. And damn...haven't thought about Bobe's in years. Farauk was some good eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farauk was some good eating. The old Washington location is the one I was wondering about. Vincennes does have a monicals now on the far west side. Another bobes favorites is their cheese bread. I haven't been there in quite awhile. I'm going to have to get some soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My boss had a place on Morse. Seems like there were 3 of them in that area. Watching the news this morning and saw Pizza King was putting a new one in the Fort.

Where I live the 2 in Warsaw, 1 in Columbia City, 1 in Silver Lake, and 1 in North Webster are all owned by the same person. The food at all of them tastes the same. The difference between them is whether they sell beer/wine or have a lunch buffet. I have ate at the ones in Lapel and Royerton and the food tastes the same as it does here at home. Now I did eat at one in West Lafayette that was horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
