Best Pizza in the State

**Jgraham** · 06-21-2012, 06:29 PM

Great Plains is always great

Also love Bob Roes and Jerry's in Sioux City. Jerry's crust is the absolute best for cold pizza, and the cheese is at least a solid quarter inch thick.

Breadeaux Pizza is not bad. They have two division of stores after a nasty recipe lawsuit.

I love me some Old Chicago double deckeroni, but I think I might have to vote for Zoey's in Marion.

It's in the freezer section of your local grocer. It's 99 cents and it's called Totino's. Also, it helps if you're so drunk you can't find your *** with both hands.

In no particular order:

Great Plains (Prairie Special on Denver Crust)
Fong's
Black Market (Iowa Chop Pizza)
The OP (Four Star)
Pizza Pit (Would LOVE ordering Pizza Twins when I was going to ISU)
Casey's Breakfast Pizza (always goes well with bloody mary's at those early morning tailgates)

I'd take Cedar Rapids' Tomasos (Detroit Style) over Zoeys any day of the week. My vote is for Tomasos as my favorite from anywhere, including Italy (I know this is a bold statement). We just went this past spring to Italy and while pasta and wine was the best in the world there, I truly feel like America has taken Italian pizza and perfected it.

Tamaso's Detroit style CB & Kraut!

Not a huge fan of El Fredos but I know many people who would agree with you.I used to love Jerry's but then they started skimping on toppings and raising prices as well.

bob roes sausage and double kraut is to die for as well. the siouxer has some bomb *** pizza joints

1. El Fredo's in Sioux City really is pretty awesome, both the pizza quality and the retro 70s vibe. I've had incredible thin and deep dish living in Chicago for over a decade but I still would love some El Fredo's any time I'm back in Sioux City. Bob Roe's is pretty awesome there too. I like Jerry's but maybe that's more nostalgia because I grew up with it.

2. It's embarrassing that Iowa consumes and loves Taco Pizza like nowhere else on Earth. It's an ABOMINATION. People laugh at those European and Mideastern Pizza Hut commercials where the pizza has a cheeseburger or hotdog built into the crust...but taco pizza is just as F'd up if not more.

3. I'm torn on Great Plains. It's a gut bomb and has a higher cheese/dough to sauce/toppings ratio than any pizza should have...yet I STILL WOULD STUFF MY FACE WITH IT given the opportunity. The thin crust there is definitely good for just about anybody, the thick I understand the love it or hate it attitude, I just barely slip into the love it category.

I'm embarrassed for the other states/countries that don't appreciate a good taco pizza.

Once their tastes mature they'll come around.

No because if done right it is delicious but I am also a fan pizzas with odd toppings like Fong's crab rangoon pizza or Big Tomato's chili dog pizza.

I had no idea what you were talking about in the second part but I googled a few videos to see what you are talking about. I would probably try a cheeseburger or hot dog in the crust pizza.
