Have you tried Nonna's in Ankeny? I love it. I'm with you on Grimaldis. It's fine.
I've said it in other threads and I'll die on this hill: Old Georges when it was on S Duff (no longer in business) sausage pizza was the GOAT.

George’s in Nevada was the bomb back in the day. I could easily down a whole large sausage and mushroom by myself.
...and GPS&D's wheat crust is called Denver Style.
Most people on this site probably aren't familiar with "Detroit-style" (and no, Little Caesar's and Domino's don't count, even if they were both started in Detroit), but it is so good, especially if you get it from the right restaurant... like Happy's.
Being a New Yorker, though, I'm also really partial to the New York Style - it reminds me of all those times I visited family as a child.
I'll get slaughtered for this....
Casey's.
Recently passed through Kansas.
I ate Casey's slices for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A stop in Oakley, KS resulted in a sngle piece of pepperoni on a slice.
Didn't matter. I inhaled every bite.
Yes, I've eaten many of the aforementioned pizzas....including former employee freebie, Pizza Pit.
Ps. I prefer a 3* hamburger, over a 5* star T-bone.

Really? It seems like people have been talking about Detroit style pizza for a decade.
Ya, I don't think anyone is confusing Little Caesar's and Domino's traditional offerings as Detroit Style. When I brought them up earlier, Domino's deep dish in the late 90's was most assuredly Detroit Style inspired, not Chicago Style, and Little Caesar's lunch special is definitely a Detroit Style pizza.
I like them all except STL style pizza is vile. How Imo’s is still in business i’ll never understand. Provel cheese is a good substrate for a tire, not a pizza.
Does anybody still eat Sbarro? Or are they even a thing anymore? I remember getting Sbarro slices at one of the malls in Des Moines when I was in high school. Might have been Southridge.
Sbarrao moved into the whatever the old pizza place in the food court used to be at Jordan Creek.

I had some Sbarro recently at a toll plaza in Indiana. It honestly wasn't that bad for what it is. I used to frequent the one at Valley West Mall in my younger years.
Nonnas vodka slices are bomb.com. Those little Jamaican beef patties are pretty stellar as well.
Isn't a toll plaza where they have toll booths and you actually pay the toll and an oasis is where you get gas and food without having to get off of the toll road? Or have I been calling these things incorrectly all of these years?
I think they're named "Oasis" plazas in Illinois.
So a toll plaza is where you pay the toll and a travel plaza is where you get your fuel, food and drink. Got it.
