Menu |
The
Market Grille is a restaurant inside of the larger, high end Hy-Vee grocery stores. It has a full-service bar, booth, and table
seating along with a waitstaff. The
Market Grille recently changed ownership and is now owned by Corporate instead
of the local grocery store, thus the menu has changed. This nearly caused our pizza
attempt to become a PIZZA FAILURE because the once famed flatbreads were not
longer on the menu. Luckily, the kids
menu had personal (4 slice) pizzas for $3 each, along with a side.

The Verdict
Sauce:
The sauce was my favorite part, it was not overly sweet.
Cheese:
Decent cheese, the highest rated subcategory at a 8.00.
Crust:
Thicker than I expected which was actually pretty good, buttery.
Toppings:
Bland toppings which is about right for kids.
Final
Comments/Considerations: The kids pizza isn’t bad, but it isn’t good
either. However, the $3 price is CHEAP,
so if you have a little one, its worth the consideration.
