I was in Chicago for work and headed to Roots Handmade Pizza with some friends and family to attempt their Quad Cities Pizza Challenge!
A quad cities pizza features a soft, chewy, slightly crispy dough and it's cut into strips like breadsticks. The pizza for this challenge was a 16" taco pizza with lettuce, tomato, pizza sauce, spiced sausage and a ton of seasoned tortilla chips on top. Also included in the challenge are 5 huge bricks of mozzarella sticks, a spinach and artichoke dip with pita wedges and a mouthwatering slice of fruity pebbles cheesecake for dessert.
Challengers have 1 hour to complete the challenge to get a t-shirt and the meal free. After watching Randy and Katina kick off this challenge and making it look easy, I underestimated this massive challenge that carried a lot of flavor fatigue in the pizza!
