I know. I know. I've been a lazy laggard for a few months. There is this sports complex over in Bettendorf with some newer joints to eat at. Located at Middle & Forest Grove Rd in northern Bettendorf.

Foundry Drink + Tap
Cheesy Cow Mac & Eatery
Freshii
Subway
Oscars Pub
Nitrogen Ice Cream
Hurts Donuts
I just had to add this video. I mean who doesn't love donuts?
And last but not least. A new Van's Pizza. This locale is strictly a carry out operation.

Full confession time. We got a Van's gift card for a Christmas present. So we might as well check it out. I mean free pizza is a good thing.
The Bettendorf location has a picture of the menu on their website.
So it's Saturday the 28th of December and a real crummy weather day outside. But it has been awhile since we ventured forth for pizza. And well the holidays just seem to consume cubic dollars.
So we ordered some pizza we thought was going to be free(more on that later) and hopped in the car.
Cheers! It's been kind of a rough year and here's hoping the new year turns out better.
This Bettplex area we cruised around to see what we could see. I did mention the weather is foggy and crappy.
I did not get any inside pics of Van's.
Home and the pizza on the counter.
We ordered a Taco,Sausage and Pepperoni and a double Sausage and Onion. We got a free order of bread or nuggets of some sort.
How was the pizza?
Great. Thin crust. Sausage is on point. The sauce has a good kick too it. Wife and kid say the Taco is better than about anyone else's. That's a bold statement. The QC is known for it's Taco pizza.
Van's has three QC locations.
Now. Let me vent for just a bit and I will move on.
Like I said earlier. We got a Van's gift card for Christmas. I guess I should have been a little more proactive about gift cards and such. One would think a Van's gift card would be good at all three QC locations right?
Wrong. Van's gift cards don't work at the Bettplex location. Had I known that or been more proactive and asked. I would have used said gift card at the Harrison or Brady St locale.
My bad and I was pretty pissed for a bit. I hadn't planned on spending my money.
But. We now have a gift card for the downtown Van's!
Okay. Van's Pizza is really good and my bad experience today does not reflect upon their pizza.
I give Van's a 9. So we still have a Van's gift card to use.
DLR says!
