The
Amana location of P.H.A.T. Daddy's opened up in April of 2015 and has
maintained a steady flow of business. The tourist town of Amana draws
in a large number of visitors, especially on the weekends. Therefore,
we found their prices to be a bit higher for the amount of pizza that
we received. The eating areas consisted of being seated indoors at a
table, or seating outside (as weather permits). Luckily for us, the
weather was nice that day. The staff was friendly, and brought out
each pizza to us as it was finished cooking. The turnaround was super
fast, about 7 minutes per pizza!

The Verdict
The pieces were
rectangular-shaped and they came out warm. The toppings were fresh
and unique. The crust was not crispy as I expected, but was instead
more chewy. We noticed that on all of the pizza's the center pieces
were soggy, as they were merely served on a large dinner plate. One
participant commented on the inconstant flavor of the Dijon on the
Cubano, and the saltiness of the cheese on the Margherita. All of our
participants voted for the Bacon Mac N' Cheese as the supreme winner
of this attempt. The rich flavor of the bacon alongside the cheddar
was simply amazing. Salty and Savory! Yummy! The next time you find
yourself in Amana, try these guys out!
