Exploring Illinois Pizzas: Quad Cities-Style
Quads Cities-style pizza from Saint Giuseppe’s Heavenly Pizza in East Moline, IL.
We’re continuing our series on exploring the different pizzas available across Illinois. This time around we’re headed to the Illinois/Iowa border, focusing on the Quad Cities style. It is cut in long, thin, (mostly) rectangular strips by special shears, includes a red tomato sauce spiced up with red pepper flakes and ground cayenne, and the quarter-inch crust is hand-tossed with a 'malty' sweet flavor.
