Ooh Ooh Mr Kotter! On that note we are back. It's been a long time since we have had the time to sally forth for pizza.
I've been waiting a long time to say sally forth,but I digress.

Where to begin? Besides the frozen pizza throwdown,we haven't had an honest to goodness pizza roadtrip since last October.. Holidays and all that drain on the cash haven't left yours truly with a flush checkbook. But anyways.

It's now time and today I went to a pizza joint that is on the west end of Davenport and opened a second location in Rock Island.

Gunchies. On with the show. Yours truly with Ms Lucy.

Gunchies opened up a second location in the old Hunters Club in downtown Rock Island. Sheri and I had been there about 10 years ago. Gunchie's has extensively remodeled the old place and it is nice on the inside.

Over the river yada yada.

Some ambience pics.

The menu.

I've had blue,but not Gunch

The pizza's. We ordered a large Taco and a large sausage.

My sausage was tasty.I don't much care for taco.

A few misc pics.

So. How do I rank Gunchie's on my first visit? Sheri and I give them an 8. Pretty good.Not the best and certainly not the worst. Service was okay and the building was really remodeled better than I remembered. So if you are in the area and hankering for a pizza,you should check Gunchie's out.

Now. I have permission for some good news.
Me and some of the family.

We are going to be grandparents! Mollie is so excited to be an aunt at age 12.Lol.

My middle daughter Ellie will be having a future pizza fanatic.


Ellie and Ryan.

Hopefully our pizza reporting will get back on a some what better track.As always we do this for fun.

My pizza opinion is just that.Take it with that proverbial grain of salt.

Cheers!

Day four of the Frozen Pizza Throwdown. You might be asking yourself. Self? Do you think Scotty is getting tired of pizza?

I am not.

After last nights pizza .....tho. Mama Bosso's just didn't do anything for me. I can usually find something to like.Alas Mama's I put in the Manny's Pizza in Fulton Illinois category. Search in the blog for the Manny's review.

And so it is that I go with a known quality that probably won't let me down. I'm going to try the regular Butch's sausage pizza.

Butch's website for more info.

The now obligatory rumshot! And utensils of the trade.

Lets fire up the way back machine!

Butch's into the fire!

Lucy is even excited for some zza!

The party is over. I have one more frozen pizza in the freezer for tomorrow. It's a Home Run Inn.I just cooked the best frozen pizza ever.

Butch's Pizza is hands down the best.This is the pizza that Mama Bosso wanted to be.

I am still eating Butch's frozen pizza.Still great.


After four days you would think I still would hold out hope for Home Run Inn Pizza.I might and I will report about said pizza.

But.Butch's Sausage  is my new most favorite frozen pizza ever.It is that good. I am serious. Go buy this pizza.If you don't like Butch's,well you are no friend of mine.Almost better than you know what,but not!


Cheers!

My attempt at a Casey's breakfast pizza. I gotta admit. It didn't come out of the oven looking like it was from Casey's.

Lets go.

Into the oven.

And out.

Yes.

So how was it? Not to bad. Think I put a little too much sausage and gravy on it.  There's always a next time too.

Feeling a little old school today. Day three of the Frozen Pizza Throwdown.

Yours truly with the obligatory rumshot!

The important tools of the trade.

Tonight's pizza will be a familiar pizza to most Quad Citian's. Mama Bosso's is made in beautiful Rock Island Illinois. As an FYI. I have had Mama Bosso's pizza alot. It's pretty tasty and well I included it in the Throwdown because I haven't had one in awhile. This pizza is about as close as one can find to a Frank's, Harris, Uncle Bills et al.

Mama's website.

Lets fire up the oven and see what happens.

My, my, my. Mama Bosso is just not that good. I'm sorry.  The crust is plain. The meat has no taste. No sauce what so ever.

I'm sorry. Mama Bosso's I wanted to love you,alas I can't. I'm not going to brag this pizza up. Is it better than a Jacks or Tombstone? Not really.

Don't waste your money. I can't sugarcoat my pizza opinion.

I give this a hard to assign 5 on the Scotty scale.

In no way will I quit with the Frozen Pizza Throwdown!

Just my opinion.

Cheers!
