Never had Vans. Growing up in Davenport in the 70s and 80s it was Harris or Happy Joes. I liked them both. We used to go to a place in Bettendorf, once in a while, called Beavers East. Great deep dish pizza. No idea if it’s still around. There’s actually a little area on the north side of Chicago that has a handful of “Quad City” style pizza places. I didn’t know that was a thing!

Vans is similar to Harris and Happy Joes. I prefer the sauce at Vans.....plus they have this awesome meat pizza called the T-Rex. Take out or dine in only.

Beavers East on River Dr in Bettendorf closed long before I came up here.....but it is still a pizza joint. No deep dish though. I grew up in Champaign-Urbana and we had Papa Dells and Garcias. Great stuff! None of the thin crust cracker based "pizza".

Yeah.....QC Style pizza is a thing. Like Monicals. Thin crust cut in squares with a certain type of sauce, dough, and sausage. From what I have heard and read, the style originated here. Not my thing at all really. But I but it because the family loves it.

I lived (in the end temporarily) in Champaign-Urbana for about 6 months - Papa Dell's is the place where if you want to order for lunch, you have to order ahead, and before 11am, to get a deep dish made in time, right? Loved that stuff - nothing like it around Orlando (where I was before and am now), as far as I can find.

So I am sad to see so many forumites possibly not being able to attend Exp 2020. On the other hand, maybe that means I will have better dibs on whatever is on offer from the dealers...

Also, I hadn't considered what impact there might be from Covid-19. France has banned all indoor gatherings of 5000 people or more (so no arena concerts!), and seriously looking at banning all large gatherings. I hope this gets under control by then. It would be a bummer to cancel for that reason. (My wallet would thank me, though.)
 
Unfortunately I will be unable to make it this year. Maybe the next one though. It’ll also give me time to save up more money for a possible purchase. I hope all of you that are going have a great time though.

With the jobs that I had, I never considered ordering Papa Dells for lunch. Delivery or eat in was typically an hour wait. But it was well worth it! Awesome stuff.....wish I could find something remotely similar here!

I heard Tony's Chicago Style Pizza has pretty good deep dish. It wasn't around when I lived there. I think there is one in Moline, and one in Davenport.

Wednesday night Troegs?! You read my mind. Let's get it on, brohammers!

You might be surprised to know that after a few Troegs everything starts to look like a ping pong paddle, including Private Stocks!

Imma have to lock some stuff up before I have you guys over to JAMA Studios...unless you bring your own "paddles"...

It happens I am experienced with Troegs, but I’ve never used a private stock ping pong paddle.
