Why am I starting out a Quad City Pizza Blog update with a Journey song you ask? For one thing Journey just got inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. The harmonies of Greg Rollie and Steve Perry are to me unmatched. And well this song kicks ass and at least not overplayed.

That said. The song title is People And Places. And we got our share of people watching and seeing old familiar places being changed for the better.

We have heard good things about Antonella's in downtown Davenport for quite awhile now,so what better time when the weather is better and people are out and about? And people were filling the sidewalks of downtown Dport today. So glad to see things happening downtown too.

Okay. On with the pizza. As ever your faithful host. Rum seems to taste better when temps rise!

Enjoying a few downtown shots.

The menu.

So Scotty ,you ask.What did you order? Well Antonella's has a pretty good deal for pizza. Order a X-Large pizza and get a small one topping for free. So that's what we did. A X-Large double sausage and a small pepperoni. Moll got some chicken Alfredo and it was as good as Vinny V's in Dubuque.

The XL.

The small pepperoni.

Moll's salad and pasta.

So how was the food? I give the pizza an 8.5 on the Scotty scale of pizza goodness. The crust was the star of this show with the sausage coming in second. What held this from being a totally kick ass pizza was the sauce. If the sauce had more kick this pizza would have been the bomb. Moll's Chicken Alfredo was quite delish. Antonella's does have pan and deep dish crusts so we will be back to try those out and some point in time.

Well worth the visit for the food and well the whole downtown vibe was pretty damn cool! That said. There was a well known QC radio DJ eating when we walked in. I didn't want to be a total dope,cause I would have probably made an ass of myself. but He did have my son and his band on the other morning so there is that.

Leaving and walking around I took a few shots of the downtown and well things were hopping! And Sheri waxed poetic cruising past good ole Davenport Central.

Lucy could smell the leftovers too.

As always faithful readers. We do this because we love pizza and we hope you do too!
