In my hometown, we have Happy Joe's. They're known for taco pizza, but I love their Canadian bacon which is finely-diced (and which I haven't seen elsewhere). Their sauce is sweet, their crust crispy but chewy. They've remained the same ever since I was a kid. They have a number of locations in the Midwest but they began in my hometown.

What are your beloved old local gems like this?

Goddammit, Happy Joe's is an institution and nothing better happen to it. I loved it growing up and still love it now when I go back for the holidays.

I was pissed when they moved the location on Locust St in Davenport that I always went to, and gave it all modern decor and called it "Happy Joe's Pizzagrille" or some stupid name like that. I guess they wanted more indoor dining but then the pandemic happened of course.

Taco pizza and that diced Canadian bacon they have are my favorites. I live on the east coast now and we have great pizza here, but I'll always have a place in my heart for Happy Joe's.

Papa John's is fine. It does more or less require the sauces to be good though. But anyone bitching about it is probably more interested in the politics than the quality of the pizza.

They need to revamp their pizza like Dominos though.

Now if you want really good delivery pizza then pic related is the real business.
