Davenport's best New York Style pizza, hands down.
This is an area of the country that contributes a fair amount to the national Pizza Lexicon, so that's saying something.
For instance; the QC is home to the first ever Taco Pizza, courtesy of Happy Joe's (who also introduced the question, 'what if your creepy uncle dressed like one of the Dapper Dans at Disney world and sold delicious pizza abominations')
Next, the QC has its style of pizza, which is crumbled sausage in the sauce, malt in the crust, and cut like crazy bread (which has nothing crazy about it except for an unorthodox slice and shaping style).
Finally, we're smack dab in the middle of the lard paunch that hangs over the Breakfast Pizza Belt. The genius who invented this delightfully unholy combo of nacho cheese, rubbery eggs, and pizza is surely on his way to heaven via a botched quintuple bypass surgery now.
But I digress. Lopiez is good. Damn good. Like "I deleted the Domino's app from my phone" good. They support local art, sell local beer, have cool local magazines on the counter, and they're actually nice people. I work retail as well, and I know what someone smiling through a shit job looks like. Not here, these Pizza People either are treated well or are well bribed with the pie. Possibly both.
Long story short, the Local Pizza Joint is an endangered species in this country, stemming from the COVID pandemic and the horrifically brutal system of capitalism we are trapped in like hamsters on a wheel of eternal misery. This place is one of the great examples of this fading concept. Enjoy it.
Pro tip, get the ranchero sauce with the Hawaiian. It's absolutely a treat. Also; if you live in the neighborhood they offer coupons for BOGO calzones and free delivery. It's why I've gone there numerous times, so if the manager is reading this THANKS.
Finally, they have an Instagram and it's quality content. #SlicesNotISIS
