Entrance

The Venue
1259 Rohret Rd SW,

There are two Pizza farms in the eastern Iowa area that I am aware of. Stone wall (which we attempted back in Pizza Attempt #76 [September 2017]), and Geyer's Oven. From our knowledge, Geyers is the more popular, and closer to Iowa City, location. The Menu varies and during the summer months, one can find updates on their Facebook page.
All you can eat, however, you will need to wait in line. They usually run until 7:30 PM. $12 per adult, kids under 6 are free.

The Verdict
Sauce: Average.
Cheese: The cheese curd one (Ham) was awesome with the cheese.
Crust: A lot of burnt pieces, so I was disappointed. Most likely this was due to them being in a rush on openning night.
Toppings: A lot of interesting topping selections, which made their pizzas unique. Some were a little over the top (veggie with no dairy), but it was decent to try and appetizing.

Final Comments/Considerations: Personally,I preferred Stone Wall's pizza farm to Geyer's. Less crowd, more pizza, and more traditional toppings. Overall we felt it was a little overrated, but it was a nice property, with a cool garden fir the kids to play in.
