While doing some research for this blog post and trying to think of something witty to come up with.
Top Jimmy by Van Halen seemed apropo. But. Isn't there always that but? In looking up VH's video. I learned something that never crossed my mind. There really is a Top Jimmy! I'm not foolin either. I should be ashamed of myself for this oversite for sure.
So. A new joint popped up on pizza radar. I was driving to work and an ad came over the radio for a new pizza place over in Moline. I was intrigued enough to get home and check out their online presence.
What really stood out to me is not only do they do the yada yada QC style pizza ,but they have a deep dish and a thin crust. Sweet!!!!!
Okie Dokie. So Top Hat is a take out / carry out only operation. We did not know that as we went over the river.
So, we walked in and figured out what we needed to do to get some pizza. A few pics.
The Top Hat owner!
So finding out this was strictly a takeout pizza joint. We ordered and walked down the street to Rascal's. Yeah. That Rascal's.
This is where the blog kinda goes sideways. As Sheri and I were drinking some beers at Rascal's. Sheri says to me. That's the Sugar Nipple guy. Matthew Truitt.
I couldn't help but act the blatherer. Yeah,kinda attention and name droppin ho I am.
Good times too. The Nipples are going to be playing with The Shockers come Shamrock Shake Day(march 16) at the Fairgrounds!
Okay.Okay let's get to the pizza for effs sake.
So how was Top Hat Pizza? For a one man operation ,Sher and I give it a solid 9 across the board. Sheri got a small pepperoni deep dish. I got a medium double Italian sausage thin crust.
We both agreed the deep dish sauce was the best. The thin crust was top notch. Sheri says Top Hat Pizza has the best deep dish in the QC. We both give it a solid 9! Plus Rascal's is right down the street for rock and roll!
Next visit will be me ordering a QC style sausage on thin crust. Sheri and I agree. Top Hat Pizza is worthy of your pizza money.
Cheers!
