Pizza is the only exclusive pizza catering service around the corridor. Whatever party you are throwing they would be
glad to serve. Pizzas include unique
massive sizes of 2-foot, 3-foot, and even 4-foot pies! During the pandemic, their business soared
with outdoor events were deemed permissible.
From servicing Ragbrai, to providing free pizza to those in nursing
homes during the 2018 Derecho, they have grown year over year.

Verdict
Sauce: The
sauce was fairly light on all the pieces.
I would prefer more sauce on some areas.
The ranch dressing was great (hidden valley).
Cheese: The
cheese was on thick and heavy which was great.
The downside was that once it got cold, it hardened and was a bit
rubbery.
Crust: The crust
had a homemade texture to it, which one can easily smell the bread yeast upon cooking
it up. It held up, and was cooked consistently
well. It did past the bend test despite
it being 24”, which is quite a feat!
Toppings: The
toppings were placed consistently.
Nothing too outstanding with most of them…prepared well in advance.
Final
thoughts: The crew was outstanding, and
provided prompt, fresh pizza! The Chicken
Bacon Ranch pizza was the far winner, with its unique blend of flavors, and delicious
ranch dressing. The Pig out was overly salty
due to all of the pork. Overall, if you have a big party, I would recommend
them for their value and prompt timing. As
one participant stated, “its good pizza, but not great pizza”.
