After last weeks totally old school visit to Harris Pizza.Sher and I once again decided to head on over the Mississippi River for pizza.We are trying to alternate from Iowa to Illinois just for variety.Anyways.
A chance Yelp review that I spied led us to Tony's Chicago Style Pizza on the hill in Moline.Right across the street from the now closed Belgium Village.
As usual.
Over the river and thru the yada yada yada woods.A few pics of the new casino at I-74 and I-80 and the beautiful river I love.
The old Belgium Village restaurant.It's for sale if one is so inclined to buy.
Some Mexican joint.
The new Clint's Pizza.It's right next to Tony's.We will get to Clint's in due time also.
Ok.Lets check out Tony's.
The facilities.
Goofing off.
On with the pizza! As this pizza place is not the usual QC pizza style we usually get,hence the Chicago style.We ordered a small pepperoni deep dish and a thin crust sausage.
A few color photos.
The menu.
Moll liked Tony's so much she got a t-shirt!
Ok.A few thoughts.I hadn't ever heard of Tony's until doing some research for a different pizza place.Sher was interested to try the deep dish.Plus they have thin crust.So Tony's seemed like a good place to visit.
Tony's is well worth the drive.While I'm no fan of deep dish it was quite tasty.The thin crust was frickin awesome!The only real gripe I can give was a lack of sausage on the thin crust.It needed a double order of sausage to make it seem like it had enough toppings.The crust was nice and crispy and the sauce had the sweetness I love.
Will we go back?Yes we will.Especially that Clint's Pizza is right next door so the 7th St area of Moline has a few good pizza places to try.
I'm going to give Tony's a 8.5 on the Scotty scale of QC pizza.It's not your mom and dads Frank's Pizza ,but that's ok too.A good thin crust is what I am liking the older I get.
Cheers!
I had to do some editing for some nitpicker!Love you Sher.
I like deep dish every once in a blue moon. Growing up in Iowa has made me picky about food in general, and pizza is no exception. Thin crispy crust is where it's at. Sausage needs to be crumbled and not sliced too. And no salty sauce. Sounds like we like the same thing, weird huh? Can't wait till next weeks blog! Xoxo, your sis.
ReplyDeleteThis was real chunky sausage.Next time will be at least a double order plus pepperoni too.Everything tasted great,just the lack of toppings was a buzzkill.Oh well the next I will know better.
DeleteThere are quite a few little pizza joynts over in the Moline area.We will eventually hit them all!
