Quad City-style pizza is a unique pizza style[1] that originates from the Quad Cities region of Iowa and Illinois in the United States. The crust has a nutty taste, the tomato sauce is spicy, the toppings are under the cheese, and the pizza is cut into strips.
Preparation
Quad City-style pizza dough contains a "spice jam", which is heavy on malt,[2] which lends a toasted, nutty flavor.[1] The pizzas are typically hand-tossed to be stretched into an even quarter-inch thin crust with a slight lip ringing the edge. The sauce typically contains both red chili flakes and ground cayenne, and the smooth, thin tomato spread is more spicy than sweet. The sausage is typically a thick blanket of lean, fennel-flecked Italian sausage[3] sometimes ground twice and spread from edge to edge.[4][5] The pizzas are typically cooked using a special gas oven with an average cooking time of about 12 minutes. The pizza is typically cut into strips,[1] as opposed to being cut in slices. An average 16-inch pizza has about 14 strips, and a 10-inch pizza has about 10 strips.[3]
