Barstool review of Casey's pizza

[runbikeswim]

All I know is I'm over the moon the Shell gas station on the corner near my house in Wisconsin has now a Casey's. They are putting in the kitchen remodel now. Casey's will sure beat our other options of Dominos or take n bakes. Sometimes it is nice to just get a,slice or two too.

I'm out on the Pepperoni. I'm a huge pepperoni fan but that's too much grease from Caseys. However, I haven't found the rest to be more greasy than other chain stuff. That said, ranch doesn't belong on pizza either so that opinion is wild. Mustard in the sauce is a game changer and every specialty is great.

I agree it is insanely greasy, but I love stopping in for a single slice of pepperoni whenever I'm near a Caseys. I do however use 2 or 3 napkins after I pull a slice out to soak up all the grease as there is a ton.

Something about Casey's breakfast pizza the day after having a few drinks or just grabbing a slice and going. BTW If the wrong person makes it. It can be very average.

On the average, I prefer Chicago style. Your points are all correct there. You clearly haven't had high quality NY style pizza though. I've had some pretty bad Chicago style stuff as well.

That is fair, not all deep dish is created equally. I will concede that there is probably better new york pizza than I have had as well. Ultimately I am biased given that New York City smells like piss and I called the Chicago area home for many years. But I still stand by my assertion that New Yorkers are overly sensitive snobs about pizza when there is nothing that unique about theirs.

Went to Casey’s to get myself a piece of Sausage breakfast pizza and forgot my wallet at home. Vday- Ruined.

Question. Once I year I order a few Chicago style pizzas shipped frozen. What ones are best. I did Gino's East last year and they were fine, but not great. I was going to go Giordanno's this year but maybe you have a really good rec for this.

100% True. It really depends on the store as well as I think some MGMT tries to cheap out on things. You'd think corporate would have better quality control.

When I lived in Waukee and commuted to Johnston, I'd pass up to 4-5 Casey's depending on the route I took, and learned which ones had good pizza, and those that were lacking. Ending up altering where I got gas based off that.

Personally, I like Lou Malnati's https://www.loumalnatis.com/ the best when it comes to Chicago style pizza. I'd rank Giordanno's and Pizza Uno better than Gino's.

Living in NE IA, where Kwik Star (Kwik Trip when you cross into MN or WI) are abundant, you notice a huge difference in the personnel hired at Casey's vs. Kwik Stars. Casey's, while having superior fresh food, lags in about every other metric - specifically caliber of employee.

The end result is that Casey's are definitely prone to variations in quality from location to location.

Casey's pizza is so overrated, It's decent at best.

People from small towns like it so much because it's their only option for pizza.

I live in a town of 750 and have 5 options other than Casey's for pizza within 10 minutes. Three of them aren't chains. Enjoy your Papa John's though.

People either love or hate Gino's in my experience. I personally like it but when I lived in the area it wasn't very convenient to go there for me. Giordanno's would be my go to for ordering a frozen deep dish though. It kind of depends what you like too. If you like a doughier crust go with Giordanos. If you want a crispier butterier crust Lou Malnati's is the way to go. I have honestly never had pizzeria Uno and don't know if they ship. I think those would be the only places that ship frozen ones.

And Casey's sausage breakfast pizza >>>>>bacon breakfast pizza

You can leave now.

It's not even close. Bacon is good, sausage is excellent.

Davey Pageviews is the best. I never miss a pizza review, I find the dude hilarious. I also find it funny that people don't get the bit he is doing.

 

[mustangcy]

Also, the idea that a guy who grew up in Boston and now lives in NYC would like Casey's pizza is what is really crazy. I don't mind Casey's pizza from time to time but if you've ever had a good NYC or Chicago pie you would understand the review.

This thread has inspired me to grab a slice of sausage breakfast pizza on the way to a meeting tomorrow out of town.

Damn 21 disagree, that's gotta be my new PR.

 

[CycloneErik]

To take the heat of of mj, I have never eaten a slice of breakfast pizza, but I'd go with sausage over bacon if I tried it.

This will be one of those things that greatly disappoint you. Even if you think it's good (it's okay at best) it won't ever live up to the hype.

It's true though.
