I kept reading about Quad City-style pizza, so I did a
little more research and found out that these pizzas have malt in the crust, usually
the sauce has chili flakes and is a tad spicy, the sausage is ground and goes
under the cheese, and these pizzas are typically cut into strips instead of
slices. I also found that there were
many places that have Quad city style pizzas.
So since this seemed like a popular thing to get in the area I figured
we ought to try it out. From what I found it looked like Harris pizza has been
around for quite a while so I figured it was the one to try. When we arrived
they seated us pretty quickly and took our drink orders which mom and I both
ordered Pepsi’s and dad got a Hanks root beer in a glass bottle which they also
brought out a cup with ice. We looked at the menu for a little bit, but since a
Quad cities pizza seemed like sausage was the most common type we quickly decided
to just order a large sausage pizza. So soon after when our waitress returned
that’s what we ordered. As we waited I thought this place seemed like it’s
probably a very popular local pizza place.
We waited for a while and then our
waitress brought plates and then not too long later our pizza was delivered. It was quite big probably a 16 inch and cut in
strips like Quad city style pizzas should be. Some of the strips were long
which made them a little bit harder to eat but it was doable. The sausage was
ground and under the cheese. The sauce
didn’t seem too different to me but tasted alright. I thought my first try at a quad city pizza
was good and we had a decent pizza, but I don’t think it was as different as it
sounded, it basically tasted like a good pizza and it was just cut differently.
I won’t exactly go out of my way for a quad city pizza, but I would be alright
with eating another.
