What is Quad City Style Pizza?

Quad City Pizza isn’t just pizza; it’s a culinary tradition born from the heart of the Quad Cities. This bi-state region, encompassing Davenport and Bettendorf in Iowa, Rock Island, Moline, and East Moline in Illinois, is where our unique QC Pizza style originates.

What makes QC Pizza special? It starts with our signature QC style crust, enriched with malt for a distinct, toasted, and nutty flavor. Unlike typical slices, our pizzas are cut into strips, a bar style serving tradition dating back to the late 1950s.

Our homemade sauce is a savory blend with a hint of spice, coating the entire pizza. Every topping is nestled beneath a layer of creamy, freshly shredded mozzarella cheese. We commit to freshness, with all our vegetable toppings cut daily and never frozen. We also are committed to using locally sourced fresh ingredients.

And then there’s our signature House Sausage. Crafted from locally sourced premium pork cuts seasoned with our secret QC-style spice blend, including fennel, slow-cooked in loaves. Once cooked, we grind it down and add even more special seasonings, ensuring our delicious QC King Sausage covers every inch of your pizza for a burst of sausage flavor in every bite.
