"Roots is a solid option for dine-in pizza, especially for those who want to rep their love for the Midwest, but aren’t into the deep dish scene. The pies here are Quad Cities-style, which means they’re round but cut into rectangles, and the toppings are under the cheese. The menu is pretty long, and includes a decent selection of salads, mozzarella sticks that frequently appear on social media, plus a rotating roster of pizzas designed by local chefs. A huge bar area, massive rooftop patio, as well as the drink deals and interesting specialty pies are why this is an ideal spot for a group hangout." - veda kilaru, adrian kane, john ringor
