Casey’s Thin Crust

[Clonehomer]

Casey's doesn't hold a candle to Happy Joes, OP, and Coach's, but then again, I don't like paying $25 or $30 for a large pizza, so Casey's it is unless I really want to spend.

The OP is excellent if you eat at the restaurant. Getting it takeout lets the cheese solidify and it’s just tough. It’s kinda like how I remember Pizza Hut growing up. If you eat there, the pizza was amazing. Try to take it home and it was average at best.

There really needs to be separate categories for good restaurant pizza and quickly feed the family takeout pizza. It’s not fair to compare the two.

This isn't thin crust related but casey's pizza related. It's a joke how little taco chips they put on a taco pizza anymore. This is from tonight's order.

I've noticed that as well with the Casey's Taco.

Having said that, I've ordered nothing but their thin crust since it started.

Seems over the top, but which frozen pizzas are better than Casey's?

Jacks is strong - not sure it’s better than Casey’s

Ankeny has excellent pizza options with Leaning Tower, Uptown, and Sonny's.

Nonna’s is my favorite pizza spot in Ankeny

Tried it yesterday. Didn't change my life but I like it WAY better than their regular crust.

This is kinda where I’m at. It was a little overhyped from some things I’ve heard/read but I still thought it was better than their regular

That's ******* pathetic.

Agreed. Never had a whole pie from there because it’s usually a huge wait but have had a number of them by the slice. They were all fantastic.

Good old shrinkflation.

Had the thin crust last Wednesday and was not impressed. The friends we shared the pizza with had already tried it and said it was very good, but they also thought the pizza we got wasn’t all that great either. Looks like it’s going to hit or miss.

Was back home last week and had some thin crust with some family friends and it was one of the main topics along with stories of different critters that used to come across the yard back in the day.

Absolutely loved it but reminded me of this scene from Nebraska.

Nothing better than the grease pool at the bottom of the onion chips to reassure you that you struck gold. Pair the chips with the dip and it’s heaven. The tastees themselves are ok.

I live and also grew up in the Sioux City area and remember well the Tastee Inn and Out commercials during Canyon Kid as a young'n. Drive by often but have NEVER had one--nor the onion chips. At 71 years old. Oh well.

We ordered Casey's Taco pizza a few weeks back in Waukee, we always get the post cooking toppings on the side (lettuce, chips etc) but we were given a small bag of chips and plenty of other toppings to put on.

Why do we get those on the side? For leftovers! Reheating with that stuff on is not good.

Agree reheating chips and lettuce isn't good. But slacking off on taco chips whether on the pizza or giving a small bag on the side is a joke. The whole point of a taco pizza is the taco chips.

I complained on a local nevada fb group and a classmate who works at one says you can ask for extra chips but I said yes at an extra cost. It's not too much to ask that the layer of chips covers the entire pizza.

Did they at least cook it all the way? Enjoyed their regular crust when it actually raised and was cooked well. Most the times it was a thin yuck like half of the time with Pizza Hut.

Asking for extra chips shouldn’t even be necessary. They used to load up the taco pizza with enough chips that there wasn’t room to add any extra.

My wife likes Taco pizza so whenever we order pizza and get her a small, the next day we reheat the leftovers in the toaster oven/air fryer (Breville Smart Oven) and she really likes it.
