The one in CF or Mason City?
I like a good Canadian bacon and sauerkraut pizza.
You’d still smoke that cig while I was trying to eat my pizza? You son of a *****.
I’m a pizzaholic. Worked my way through college working at Minskys. godfathers, and Valentinos. Started developing my own pizza recipes over the years, talked to people and just kept learning. I’ve gotten to the point where I’ve learned what kind of flour is best for different styles, what type of tomatoes make the best sauce, etc.
In the end, the best pizza is the one that tastes best to YOU. I love going to Chicago for deep dish. Love me something unusual like Fongs. Great delivery late at night is Paul Reveres. Best pizza in Ames used to be Old George’s. Add to the product is service and consistency. Today Pizza pit is my go to in Ames. One well known pizza in Ames (I won’t name) that I’ve refused to eat at ever again earned my disdain when I found hair in the pizza and the manager said, “what do you expect me to do about it?”
Any of you get down my way let me know and I’ll make ya a tasty pizza!

I prefer the northern Italian pizza to southern Italy. Always got the Calzones in Sicily and they were great.
While the one in Forest City is/was really good, the original in Chester (I think it was the original anyway) was frickin' amazing. I have yet to find any pizza as good as that place was.
I believe there was a place in Charles City for a while that used the same recipe, I think were related to the original Boarderline owners or something and got the recipe from them, not sure if it is still there.
Years ago my wife and I drove 1.5 hours just to get it in Forest City after learning they still had one. It was really good, just not quite as good as the Chester one.
From the ashes . . . A new Borderline Pizza
By Marcie Klomp The area was stunned 17 years ago when residents learned Borderline Pizza in Chester had burned to the ground. The landmark business was known far and wide for its pizza, arcade and…

I’m honestly surprised I never heard of borderline. I lived in Cresco for a while in the late 80’s and only knew of Hawkeye pizza and Mabes, both of which were pretty good.
Every OP I've been to other than Waverly.
I'm not sure what the Waverly one does but it's never the same as the rest.
Imagine what else she might be good at with all that practice sucking on a cigarette.
Been in CR all my life...this list IS my formative years...and honestly could not add to it! I mean there were other pizza places in the area obviously but I can't think of one that is missing (Pizza Inn maybe, Xavier's was just like Naso's and Leo's)! So much fun meeting friends at Happy Joes/Godfathers or Pizza Hut...and as long as we were being cool...those places all seemed to welcome us teenagers!
Nothing brings back mall cafeteria nostalgia like Sbarro. I don't think I've ever had it anywhere besides the now demolished Mall of the Bluffs“Oh, look! A Sbarro. My favorite New York pizza joint. And I'm going to go get me a New York slice!”

There's probably a decent amount of people putting tavern style under Chicago too.
That's some memories right there. I remember that food court feeling really extravagant in its design when it first opened and pizza by the slice was a wild concept to 10 year old, small town Iowa me.
