Sluggers Pizza - United States

You probably haven 't heard of Quad Cities Style pizza, but it 's just as unique as New York or Chicago Deep Dish as far as having its own unique niche in the pizza hierarchy. Here are the distinguishing features of Quad Cities Style: Dough may have malt incorporated in it. The sauce is usually spicier than most preparations. Toppings all reside underneath generous, quality cheese, and finally, the pizza is cut in long strips rather than squares or slices. The crust usually borders on thinner, but Slugger 's more resembles what most would refer to as hand-tossed. Puffy and chewy on the exterior, crispy as you work your way inland. I 'm usually in the camp of cracker-thin, but I genuinely enjoyed this, tho it was rather filling. He does hand toss, watched him, unusual in the day of dough shelters and pre-made crusts! Slugger 's take an unusual approach to sausage, but many will prefer it. They use a crumbled pork product, only very gently seasoned. There 's an absence of what is usually found in pizza sausage, namely garlic, fennel, and so on. I didn 't miss them. Sauce leans towards sweet, but still a bit of kick. Black pepper? Excellent cheese. Great flavor, great texture, great pull. I have heard talk that there is an above-average lunch buffet but did not verify that tidbit. Daily specials though. Full menu. The place is very clean. Two sizes only, 12″ and 16″. The latter with two toppings ran around $24, slightly less than the average in the Upper Midwest at present. Yes, I 'll go again when I am in the area!

This is now St. Giuseppe's pizza. Love this place. Great service, great pizza, calzones and sandwiches. You won't be disappointed.

I arrived early on a Friday night and was greeted and orders were promptly taken. The pizza was absolutely perfect with a crispy yet slightly puffy crust. It is a little less sweet than the other QC style crust which seemed wrong the last time that I came in but this time it seemed better since I had no preconceived notion of how it should taste. This place was a winner in every category so if you haven't been there recently give it another try, I'm glad that I did. As a side note I have a habit of looking at the cleanliness and I could see under the counters from my seat and even the hard to reach spots were spotless.

I worked at Sluggers Pizza for a few months over the summer, i'm still on payroll incase they ever need a hand with anything. Let me start off by saying Sluggers is a very well put together establishment, the new owners have completely turned the business around and it is one of the best places i have ever worked. They take care of their customers and make EVERY SINGLE pizza like it's their last, i refuse to eat any other pizza because it's simply just not as good. Personally I will always have a friend in sluggers.

This place WAS great. New owners are too catholic, took away a great drink special and raised the prices.
