Don't we all need some silliness in our lives? Silliness has been in short supply with our last few QC Pizza blog outings. Matter of fact the last three postings have been about as bottom of the barrel as I will tolerate.

That said and I hope crappy pizza is in our rear view mirror for a while. We were thinking of traveling for a pizza and tossed around a few places to go. We decided Wig and Pen Pizza in Iowa City was the place today. Some Cedar Rapids pizza joints are on our radar,but we stayed a wee bit closer to home. Plus it gave me an excuse to hit up Fin & Feather also!

On with the show. The Wig & Pen I have been by quite a few times although circumstances never really worked out for a visit until now. Truth be told it will most "def" not the last time we go there.

Yours truly drinking my fave minus the rum. Way too early in the day for the  Sailor.

The Wig & Pen. Located on the Coralville Strip right next to The Vine.

A few crappy indoor shots. It was pretty dark inside and well my camera sucks too. After the horror of Van's Pizza's bathroom, I couldn't bring myself to document the restrooms. The Wig could not have been near as gross as Van's.

The pizza menu.

The pizza. A large thin crust double sausage and red onion. Moll got a chicken strip basket cause she's a kid.

I can finally say that we have finally had a decent,no I daresay "awesome" pizza. The crust was thin and had a nice malty crunch to it. The sausage was chunky and just the right amount of spice to it. The red onions,cheese and sauce nicely complimented the meat and crust. My pizza jones has always been more towards a crunchy thin crust. The wife likes her deep dish and we did see some deep dishes coming out of the kitchen that would have looked good in my belly.

I'm going to give this pizza a 9.5 on the Scotty scale. It was that good and I will be going back at some point.

Bye Wig & Pen. I'll see you again.

Oh. And I forgot. Some leftover zza. It won't survive Saturday night!

As always. The wife and I do this for our love of pizza and ,well it's fun too! Days like today the Pizza God's smile on us.

Cheers
Scotty
