Rattle that lock indeed. I'd like to think that we kicked it up a wee bit here at QC Style Pizza and More this year.

I'm finally getting my shtick down.And the music videos are now a permanent fixture of my blog posts. You might not like them dear readers,but I hope to entertain  and that's the whole point for me doing this labor of love. I love music as much as pizza! I sure as heck am not doing it for anything but fun, and we don't get our pizza for free.

That's one issue I haven't had to confront is accepting free food for a good review. Luckily this blog flies under the radar enough that I don't have to worry about that. We might,but I'll kick that can down the road for now.

I've had a few people tell me I'm not professional enough for this blog. I like to have a few cocktails to get in the mood so that's not going to change either. This is suppose to be fun and the family pics do show us trying to have a good time.

Okay enough blather.

A few thoughts about this year in review.

My favorite pizza this year and I think my wife would agree hands down is Zoey's Pizza in Marion IA. Go there and try it. I dare ya not to like it.

We got on a really good run of fun mid July thru August hitting up Zoey's ,Falbo's, 11th St Precinct and Haze Smokehouse over in Peru Illinois.

My absolute highlight for the year was getting to see and talk to Chris Duarte. Go buy his music!

I can't recall if we had any bad pizza either. Might have,but no matter it's part and parcel of picking some pizza joint to try.

Looking forward to next years fun,frivolity and eating more pizza.

We have a lot of places in mind and we hope you all ride along for the fun. We wouldn't mind you to come with us too. Just pay for your pizza. Do I look rich to you? lol.

We do Go Our Own Way too. 



Cheers from the QC Pizza gang! See ya next year!

Scott,Sher and Moll.

Almost the end (of a great year) !



For some reason this time of year always makes me a little melancholy. Hence one of Zepp's most under the radar classics!

Okie dokie. Yours truly and family have done the usual holiday bluster and school concerts and such. And attending my uncles funeral. Haven't left much time for pizza.Plus I have been working a lot of hours too.

My Uncle Jerry wasn't much of a pizza fan ,but seems he always was around for some Happy Joe's.

And so. Onto almost a new year.


Beginnings. A most righteous Chicago tune and a new pizza joint in Bettendorf.

https://qcpizzaco.com/

This is the former location of Hall Of Fame Pizza and Beavers East.

I am hopeful this joint sticks around,but. And there is that big fat BUT. Cheers from me to you all.



Here goes.





In all honesty I should tell you  Quad City Pizza just opened up a few days ago. Service was a wee bit slow and not much follow up so I will cut them slack for that.

The bathroom warzoned.




A little bit spruced up from the Hall Of Fame days.



 The menu.








Pre pizza goofing.






Allrighty let's get to the food!


We were happy to see another pizza joint moving into the old Beavers East location.

A Quad City Times article had my hopes up too.

Let's see some pizza. For the record.

We each got our own mini pizza. I got a sausage. Moll got a taco. Sher got a pepperoni.
And Sher and I got a fried chicken breast. Moll got a chicken leg.










Final thoughts. We have been following this opening way before they did open. I was hopeful that this was going to be a new twist on QC Style pizza.Alas. We couldn't tell any difference taste wise to any other QC style pizza joint. Same ole same ole.But as they said in the article. They own Fields Of Pizza and man o man they do know how to fry chicken.

Kind of a let down and the service was kind weak.Although the fried chicken kicked it up a notch. To be honest they have only been open a few days.

We decided a middlin 8 for this newish zza joint.

Will we be back? For the chicken and that's it.
