At first look, it reminded me of a pizza ordered off of a kid’s menu at a family restaurant. The first bite was of a crackery crust. The sauce was redeeming. After a couple bites, the cheese did have a good yet mild taste. After applying a healthy amount of Parmesan to give it some saltiness, the flavor popped a little. Could be sub-5 when the sun is out. But, it’s after midnight. Goes well with an IPA. I’m sure the Italian-Chinese infused specialty pies are where it’s at - like the orange chicken pizza.

General Tso's. Gave it a 7 because it's different

This is not their signature crab Rangoon pizza and honestly I prefer the honey garlic Alfredo to the 4th St. Special as pictured. Thin crackery crust which I love - no top char or flop. Under carriage was stiff and no char. Toppings were a little loose and temps varied on bites. Overall, excellent late nite after the bar type pizza. The key to this place is to try a variety of individual slides and or their novelty pizzas.

In true one-bite fashion I went with the classic cheese. Not good. In their defense they’re not known for their cheese pizza. They have a lot of specialty Asian inspired pizzas. I’m assuming it’s the same dough and style undercarriage. That being said: the dough definitely tastes frozen, overall tastes like something from Chuck E. Cheese. Maybe their specialty pizzas are better but most likely just a novelty. I’d rather have dominos tbh.

A little tasteless, crust was different and sauce bland. Definitely worth getting only special pizzas, not cheese

Sunday Special—mixing it up here. Got the Iowan pizza. Great flaky crust. Good pork and bacon flavor. Like the BBQ sauce a lot but a little too much of it on the pie

Went with a more “normal” pizza. Place has crazy shit. But it’s pretty good, kind of that cracker STL pizza, BUT good taste.

Huge slices but crust is so thin and flimsy! Good amount of cheese and I do like the hint of garlic! An okay drunk pizza.

No flop. A little light on the cream cheese, but overall a tasty pizza. A must try. Atmosphere is great.
