Chad’s is the Home of the Cedar Valley's favorite Pizza & Broasted chicken! 2021 Best of the Fest. This place looks like a well establish hole-in-the-wall bar/restaurant right across from the University of Northern Iowa (UNI).
This is the perfect
place to find some of the best za in the city! There was bar, chair, and booth seating available;
however, a pool table was in the middle of the room, so there wasn’t a ton of
room. I could imagine you may want reservations
during the school year to get a table.

Verdict
Brat/German, Medium, $21.49
Sauce: Sweet
marinara sauce, and the taco sauce was pretty mild. The fish & chips sauce was thick and it
made it quite filling.
Cheese: The cheese was thick, and paired with the crust,
it made the pizza go a lot farther than we thought it would just by looking at
it.
Crust: The crust
was of medium thickness; although certain pizzas had thicker crusts (the Fish
and Chips was thick, whereas the small pepperoni was medium/avg).
Toppings: The
toppings were great in general. Some of
them needed more flavor (such as the Chili from the Chili Taco).

Final thoughts: I was very surprised at this college pizza
joint. They had like 50+ specialty pizzas with the most variety I’ve EVER
seen on a menu! Although the cooking
time was a bit long, the pizzas were pipping hot when they came out. By far
this beats out Mesa and the Wedge in Iowa City.
The toppings were of much higher quality and the pizzas were all tasty. In fact, I would say this is my favorite pizza
joint to date, so if you are in town it’s worth the wait!
