| - Brak and I tried Pizza Pit for the first time tonight (thank you, Groupon). It's a hidden gem in a big field of pizza parlors in east Mesa.
We had to google Quad Cities-style pizza to figure out that we would get a medium crust (as thick as DiGiorno, only good) pizza with a spicy sauce. They seem to make their dough, sauce, and cheese from scratch, as well as their signature sausage, which we didn't try.
Our order was our standard "pizza test": half pepperoni and half Canadian Bacon/pineapple. Both sides were great. The tangy sauce and creamy cheese make this pizza really stand out. I was surprised that a crust as thick as theirs would be crisp all the way to the middle of the pizza, but it was perfect. Overall, a good pizza, worth a try if you've never had this style, and likely to be a part of our regular pizza rotation.
Tip: Order a smaller size than you typically do at a pizza place. You'll eat less pizza than normal (it's pretty substantial), and the smaller size will offset the higher-than-normal prices at Pizza Pit.
The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean, and the experience was great. Next time we'll sit on the patio overlooking the lake.
