I have a new ally in my defense of QC style pizza - and he can kick your ass . . .

Of course the main topic of conversation was Iowa football, but we had a couple Quad Citizen ex-NFL/Hawkeye players on the 12 Saturdays podcast this week and Pat Angerer thinks you should enjoy Quad City style pizza like any other person with sensible tastes.

We also talked about back hair and the keys for Iowa to spring a possible upset of the Buckeyes next Saturday. We think it's a fun listen:

The back of Joel's head looks more appetizing.

Nice get, Torbee! I would’ve loved to be a part of this interview. Julian cracked me up when I got to interview him 15 years ago. Can’t wait to listen!

There is no such thing as bad pizza, except for St. Louis style which has fromunda cheese on it.

 

[QChawks]

Pat is a good dude and I respect his opinion, albeit wrong. I got to visit with him this summer when his son's baseball team play mine.

Good football player and man, just bad taste in pizza. We all can't be perfect!

 

[Bro D]

I've been going to Uncle Bill's lately on your recommendation. Their calzones are fantastic /csb

Frank’s in Silvis FTW

After reading your articles for years you come up with a thought in your head of what someone sounds like. @torbee you don't sound anything like what I imagined. Not in a bad way just thought it was funny. csb/

Great job by the way. Really enjoy your work.

Was at Augustana a while back for a ceremony and had a pizza from Harris pizza. It was ok. But I won't miss it if I never have another one, which I probably won't.

That’s an insult to fromunda cheese.

I'm not fond of my speaking voice - Joel is the radio guy and sounds like it.

I try to make up for it by being hilarious (in my mind)

IMO Harris is the most mediocre of the QC style places.

My top 5

1. Uncle Bills
2. Frank's
3. Sports Fans
4. Wise Guys
5. Clint's

Yes.

My daughter said the QC style place in Chicago is very popular. They even opened a second location:

There is also a QC style place in Atlanta metro:

At Generations Pizza, Kim and Steve Ortiz have built a haven for Quad Cities expatriates as well as locals new to the unusual style.

Not sure what the deal is, it's all I can taste on an otherwise delicious looking pizza.

Does anyone outside the Quad Cities like QC pizza?

I live in Tampa. QC pizza, at least at Frank’s, is very good. I always make a trip from an hour away when I am in western Illinois.
