This pizza is served currently within the Cennex gas station
off of E Avenue, on the west side of Cedar Rapids.
Hunt Brothers has over 7,000 locations nationwide,
and they are based out of Indiana.
This
location is the first one in the area (to my knowledge).
Because of the location (within a gas
station), there is no seating available, so for this attempt, we met at a
nearby friends house to dig in.

The Pizza
Chicago Style: No
Crust Thickness: Thin/Regular
Our group consisted of 11 participants; so we ordered 6 pizzas. We ordered them in the only size, a large 12"
size. Each pizza cost $9.99, regardless
of how many toppings were loaded on it. They
offered three specialty pizzas (Veggie, Loaded, and Lotsa Meat); nothing too
out of the ordinary. The pizzas
were:
Loaded - Pepperoni, Italian Sausage,
Beef, Bacon, Bell Peppers, Mushrooms, Onions, Black Olives, Banana Peppers and
Jalapeno Peppers (Large, Regular Crust [12”], $9.99).
Lotsa Meat Pizza -
Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, Beef and Bacon (Large, Regular Crust [12”], $9.99).
Veggie - Bell
Peppers, Mushrooms, Onions, Black Olives, Banana Peppers and Jalapeno Peppers
(Large, Thin & Regular Crust [12”], $9.99).
Pepperoni -
(Large, Thin & Regular Crust [12”], $9.99).
The Verdict
The thin crust pizzas were
cut into small rectangle shapes, since the dough was prepared in a large
rectangle. The regular crust pizzas were
circular, and cut into triangle shapes.
The dough is frozen, but the toppings were fresh. The worker (manager) even went out to get
fresh tomatoes for our order on the Loaded (they normally don't have that
available). The pizza cooled quickly,
but while it was hot it wasn't too bad.
The 'Loaded' was the favorite among the participants, although I enjoyed
the regular crusted pepperoni. Pepperoni
came in second, and no other votes were cast for the Lotsa Meat nor the
Veggie. The sauce was light, but the rim
of the regular pizza was nice and bready.
This wouldn't be a bad place to pick up a slice of pizza if you are in a
hurry on that part of town, but I would not advise making a special trip out on
it.
Here are our ratings,
where 1 = worst and 10 = best.
