Just a short little QC Pizza blog update. Why Mama? Because well I bought one of Mama Bosso's newer made from scratch frozen pizza's today.

I haven't exactly cared for Mama Bosso's regular frozen pizza's in quite some time. They changed their recipe and maybe it's just me as I don't care for them

I had one of these made from scratch pizza's late last year and a trip thru the frozen pizza aisle caught my eye so you know? I just had to pick one up. Probably will not cook it tonite,but they are pretty dang good.




I'm going to have to give this pizza the Steve Austin treatment before it goes in the oven. Toppings are a little uneven.






That said. My gold standard for frozen pizza so far is Connie's Natural. They are that good. Butch's in the running somewhere too.



As an FYI. Tony's on West Kimberly is temporarily closed for maintainence. That's what the sign on the door says. Your's truly will be pretty bummed if this place closes. They are by far my fave go to spot in the entire Quad City area,

And well I'm on vacation. Time for a few of these and be on the lookout for the next real pizza trip.





Cheers!

As promised. An old school pizza blog update. No video.just some dyed in the wool pizza.

We cooked some chicken wings. Our chicken wings kick ass!


Harris Pizza!

Crappy weather this weekend.










The pizza's!








Perfectly baked chicken wings! Baked are the best!





Not much else to say. Some of my family do not like QC Style Pizza. I do and I always will.

That said.  Harris is the real QC Style deal.

Scotty gives this a 9.5.

So we went to Long Grove a few weeks ago for pizza. Does the sun come up on a sleepy little town?

I tried to make this a blog update but for some reason my blogger-fu was weak that day.

So anyways. Our neighbor Lindsey told us the Long Grove Tap had super pizza. Well Long Grove is about 4 minutes from our front door lets go!








The pizza.








So how was the pizza and why are there taco's in this review?  Moll wanted tacos that's why. She gave them 2 thumbs up btw.

The pizza? Pretty darn good for bar pizza. I'll give it a solid 8.

If you are ever near Scott County Park and wanting to eat you certainly can't go wrong stopping by in Long Grove. Plus new owners have really fixed up the place.

As always.

I tried tonight. Lord I tried. Yeah. I know it's Saturday Night and all was well till I got some not unexpected bad news.
Today started out pretty good. We took a roadtrip in the trusty Batmobile (RIP Adam West also).To spend a gift certificate that had been calling my name fore almost a year.

Miles later and a T-shirt from New Glarus Brewing we decided we were too lazy to cook the tasty sausages we picked up from Reuf's and Hoesly's.

Might as well use the gift certificate Eric got his Mama to Millz Pizza.

So onto Millz. I must say. I got a haircut the other day and let my 11 year old style my hair. Cheers!



Some background on Millz. Millz Pizza is in an old KFC on Kimberly and Division in Davenport right next to the Walgreen's and not far from Tony's Pizza.








The bathroom was actually clean.





Millz has some sort of pizza eating challenge. This is how big the pizza is if you must.





So. Onto the pizza. We ordered a small Original Millz crust Taco pizza.




And a large double Sausage thin crust.






So to my thoughts. I really wanted to like this place. I have followed Millz since they opened last summer.Talked to people that have been there too.

The sausage was great as was the sauce.The thin crust needed baked longer.Sheri and Moll both said the original crust on the taco was different.

Will we go there again? I won't. So many better options. Collectively Sher,Moll( and I listen to her opinion too) and I give Millz about a 7.

It wasn't bad,but Tony's two blocks away is miles better.

Yeah.It's been awhile. When I found out Tony's Pizza from Moline opened up shop in West Davenport I couldn't Hardly Wait,I Can't Wait. Not sure if Jesus rides beside me,but with Bob and Paul serenading we drove for some pizza.

I've made mention of trying not to repeat any pizza joints and for the most part we haven't. With the news Tony's opened up on West Kimberly, I just had to go. See my Tony's trip from Moline elsewhere in this blog.

Yours truly enjoying some rum on the patio beforehand.





Watchin the pool get filled.






Okay. On with the show. So Tony's Pizza from Moline for some reason decided to open up a joint in West Davenport(yay)!  I think Davenport is in for a treat with Tony's around. I've professed my love for QC Style Pizza many times on this blog and Tony's is different in a good way

Tony's claims to be a Chicago Style Thick and Thin crust joint. It's for sure not a Frank's,Harris,Uncle Bills et al type pizza.

They opened up shop in West Davenport by the Hy-Vee and Checkers area by Kimberly and Pine St.

The Batmobile.


Some outdoor and indoor shots.






The single stall bathroom was clean!




A few more indoor shots.






Oooo pizza!




Allright,allright,enough goofin around.Time for the stars of this show.

Let me just say before hand. We ordered a small deep dish Tony's Deluxe(sausage,onion,mushroom and pepperoni) And a large thin crust triple sausage. Lesson learned from Tony's in Moline. Chintzy on the toppings hence the triple sausage.






Enough leftovers for another meal!


Final thoughts. From the moment I heard Tony's opened up in Davenport, I knew that was going to be our next trip. Tony's is that great!

I'm not much of a deep dish fan so I only had a few bites from Moll's plate. The toppings and sauce were top notch.I don't much care for the cakey type deep dish crust.although it did taste good.

The thin crust. Oh my the thin crust is the star of this show. Thin and with a perfect crunch. The triple sausage and cheese was a home run.

Not sure what Sheri thinks,but I'm giving Tony's Pizza in Davenport a solid 9.5. I don't often give out really good reviews,but this pizza is that good.

We will be back!





As always. We do this because we love pizza. YMMV.

Cheers
