Taco or BLT from Happy Joe's. After that, just about anything from Harris' Pizza (or one of its clones) in the Quad Cities.

The pizza here in Detroit so far is meh.

Try Buddy's, the original location if it is still around. Scary locale, but great square pizza. Grew up in a suburb and that was my parent's favorite place. I was back in 2000 and it tasted the same.

Bob roes in Sioux city has an excellant sausage and kraut pizza. My fave is my own homemade buffalo chicken on my charcoal grill. The smoke sets it off just right

Home made thin crust. Pillsbury pizza dough. What ever topping that you prefer. Stretch the dough and throw away excess dough or make a mini pizza, and pre cook dough until it will lift with a spatula easily, or if using a pizza pan, it will slide right off. Before the cheese use expensive, salty ham and green olives at about a 3 to one ratio ground/pureed. Use about a half a cup on a regular size pizza. or just put a smaller amount on 1/2 the pizza to try. The first time then more if you like. Pizza King in Council Bluffs uses ham and olives on their "deluxE pizza" it is just awesome.

Why is the dough hardly ever cooked all the way through on breakfast pizzas. I get all over to convenience stores and it is a common problem. The fine line of uncooked dough bothers me. I rarely take the chance on convenience store breakfast pizza. Now for lunch Caseys beef slice topped with an Italian sausage slice on top make the perfect "sandwich on the go. I just use a large towel as a bib/napkin as I drive distractedly down the country roads.

1. Anything at Mabes in Decorah is amazing.
2. Pickles is good in Kamrar.
3. Zenos in Marshalltown.

bacon cheeseburger followed by taco.

You put pickles on it?

Casey's pizza is pretty amazing for something that comes out of a gas station. The dough is tas-tee.

Pizza is one of those things that I can enjoy whether it's a cheap $3 frozen thing or a gourmet wood-oven deal with prosciutto, arugula, and fancy cheese. My absolute favorite, though, it to just keep it simple with sauce, dough, and cheese. Nothing is better than one of those big slices about a centimeter thin that you have to fold up in order to eat...when the crust has those tiny black char marks on the bottom and tastes just a little bit sweet and chewy.

no mention of pasquale's????? shame on you people!!!!! heard they burned down recently. if any of you ever get down to albuquerque, you must try giovanni's!!!

This would explain why I couldn't find their frozen breakfast pizza this Easter. Pasquale's had the best frozen breakfast pizza on the market (IMO).

Definitely agree on their frozen breakfast pizza, a good alternative for when I'm not in the mood to drive to Casey's.

i went to an all night restaraunt in superior, wisconsin about 10 years ago at around 3 in the morning. the dude working recommended a bacon cheeseburger pizza with pickles on it. sounded disgusting to me, but i was not even close to being sober (was 420 all day long) so i ordered it. was one of the best pizzas i have ever had!!

My favorite is the barbeque-chicken-bacon-ranch pizza that Jeff's makes. Good stuff!

:no:

Surrrree...out there in 'the district'...you can have your 'gas stations' separate from your 'pizza joints'...but us low country folk have to have 'general stores' that have both.

Currently Casey's is my go to, but that's primarily availability. In town for carryout, there's either Casey's...which is consistently good, but never awesome, or a local place which isn't very good for what they charge you, unless you want the deal they're offering. I have had some awesome ones other places, but I hate the 'favorite' anything discussion...sometimes the goodness is in the fact that it's different.

Agreed. I live near Chicago now, but I'm traitor because I believe that New York-style is the best pizza. Those huge, thin slices that you fold over.... mmm great stuff.
