2. Lennie’s: A Bloomington Classic for Pizza & Brews

Lennie’s, well, this place? This place is the real deal! Since 1989, they’ve been makin’ some lovely pies. I mean, the place is always hopping. It’s kind of a place that’s easy to be with friends at and laugh all night long, as I see it.

Now, about their pizza. So, they actually make everything from scratch. It’s good. I will say that some of their pizzas are good. So, I think I know someone who loves “The Hosier Mama.” Okay, but if you like your meals less meaty, well, you may enjoy something such as the spinach pizza or the unique combinations they have for pizzas with different toppings.
