Dua pie was a long-term
creation. The owner, original trained in
New York, had came from the Dallas Texas area to then open his own pizza joint
in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He has a fully stocked
(small but classy) bar, calzones, and various pizzas by the slice. The lunch special is the best in town, $3 for
two slices. Seating includes booth and
high table dining. They do take
reservations but usually you can just walk in and find a table. The best seller is the stuffed meat lovers,
with the cashier’s favorite being the buffalo chicken.

Verdict
Sauce: Red
sauce was good from the side dip marinara.
I had wished we ordered a whole pizza, but instead I got a side slice
for my child of pepperoni on NY Thin. 
Stuffed Meat Lovers
Cheese: I love
that It wasn’t overloaded, but the White pizza was pretty bland, considering it
was white sauce, I shouldn’t have been too surprised. A few participants put red peppers on it,
which made it a lot better.
Crust: Spot on
for NY thin. Hand tossed, definitely the
highlight of the pie.
Toppings: Very
high-quality ingredients, this guy clearly knows his stuff.
Final
thoughts:
I would totally
come back here for lunch, but I think the dinner pizza is a LOT of food. The stuffed pizza especially filled me up!
The blandness
of the white pizza threw me off.
