Pizza Pilgrimage and Family Trip


During the Memorial Day weekend 2009, I took the family back to the Mother- and Father-land: Illinois. We also added some days and went up to Wisconsin to visit some friends. Along the way, to add some fun to the trip, we decided to visit a different pizza place in every town we stopped in. That would mean roughly 6 different pizza places in 6 different Midwestern cities/towns over 6 days. Starting with Des Moines, IA, we chose our sites carefully and set a few basic rules:


1. No pizza places that we would be able to find in the Kansas City area, and preferably, mom-and-pop places.


2. No repeats.


3. Pick the same toppings for at least 1 pizza in order to make a comparison


4. Have fun


In the coming days, I will be posting the places we visited on our journey from Shawnee, KS up to Milwaukee, WI and back and give some reviews and photos of pizza from the Heartland along the way. Stay tuned.
