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 Pizza

Chicago Style: No
Crust Thickness: Thin

We had five participants so we ordered four 12” pizzas. They only offer one crust at 12”.

Margherita – Roasted Garlic, Five cheese blend, Mozzarella, Roma Tomato, sweet Basil Chiffonade, $12.00
Cubano – Dijon Mustard, Pulled Pork, Ham, Mozzarella, Swiss Cheese; topped with Pickles , $15.00
Bacon Mac N' Cheese – Dash of Alfredo sauce, Mozzarella, our house Mac N' Cheese, Cheddar, Smoked Bacon, $14.00
Chicken Alfredo – Alfredo sauce, Mozzarella, Asiago, Parmesan, Roasted Chicken Breast, Spinach, $14.00
*Garden Goat Cheese Pizza – Bonus pizza served to us from another party $15.00

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!

  2. For parties of 8-10 people, they'll usually bill you with a service charge. These services are not typically listed as gratuities, so you should pay attention to these fees. Discover here for more information about wedding catering.
