Roots Handmade Pizza
Roots seemed like a nice comfortable place to enjoy a pizza... The atmosphere just seemed like a nice causal place with TV's and the type of place you might see adult sports teams come to celebrate their latest victory with pizza and beer.
Speaking of beer, Roots makes and bottles their own root beer! I had to try some since the likelihood me making it back to this city kinda slim...
For bottled root beer, admittedly I don't have much to compare it to other than IBC or Henry Weinhards. Comparing this to IBC it doesn't go down as smoothly, but it's overall taste is more appealing. Give and take some I guess. It was good for a one time try, but at $3 a bottle I don't think I'd go for it again.
For our pizza selection today, we opted for the Taco Pizza. Now we've had some pretty poor experiences with Mexican food the father away from California that we were. So we didn't have high hopes, but I did read somewhere on-line that the Taco Pizza was one of their specialties
Their menu describes the pizza as: A Quad-Cities Original: a taco-seasoned house made crumbled sausage with Quad Cities Mozzarella blend and cheddar cheese. Topped with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and taco-seasoned chips. Here's the picture of what we received:
Honestly, I thought this was kinda cheesy looking. But hey, if it's one of their specialities I'll roll with it. The Doritios style chips kinda mostly fall off when taking bites of the pizza, but they did add a nice crunch. I would say nothing really stood out individually about this pizza, but all the toppings worked together really well and and tasted delicious. From their website and menu I could tell that Roots takes pride in their pizza crust... and it was good... The sausage on the pizza was seasoned really well.. I wasn't sure how "taco seasoned sausage" would taste as I've only had taco seasoned beef and turkey. Since sausage seems to be the topping of choice for pizza in Chicago I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Overall - the pizza was really good.. It doesn't hit the favorite mark in my book, nevertheless it is a really good tasting pizza.
