> [@pulykamell](#): > > Also, like mentioned, the sausage is a well-spiced pork sausage that is crumbled onto the pizza. If you’ve ever had a loosemeat sandwich, that’s pretty much the texture. It’s a little odd at first, but you get used to it. This must be a “heartland” trend that goes beyond the Quad Cities, because Pagliai’s Pizza in northeastern Missouri (near the Iowa and Illinois borders, and 200 miles southwest of the Quad Cities) serves it the same way, with little crumbles that get locked into the melted cheese rather than sitting on top. That’s the only place I’ve ever seen what you describe. BTW, mea culpa for raising an eyebrow at the idea that the Quad Cities could have their own pizza style. I honestly thought it was too small a metro area to warrant such a thing. But per Wikipedia, the Quad Cities CSA is #92 in the nation, and there’s a pretty steep dropoff once you get out of the top 100: Fargo-Moorhead, which I would have guessed to be bigger than the Quad Cities, is #116 and is barely over half as populous. Huh! ---

> [@Bullitt](#): > > There used to be a pizza place at Laclede’s Landing, Joey B’s at the Landing. Their STL style pizza was good. That provel cheese is unique. I just checked the map and it looks like they’re no longer at the Landing. > > Imo’s is fair. According to Yelp, Joey B’s is still in business, w/3 locations in St. Louis, including the Landing. Google “St Louis Joey B’s.” ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > **[Moderating]** > > **Ukulele Ike** , you’re lucky that you got that retraction in before I got here, or this would have been a Warning for use of racial slurs. As it is, consider this a very strongly worded note to Not Do This Again. I know that you know better. Ah, hell. The word was used in the Nancy Drew books, so I figured it was PG-13 at least. Apologies, will not repeat this behavior. ---
