Smash Pizza - Bettendorf, Iowa

Maria

definitely a 5/5!!!

the only “con” is the wait (depending when you go) but it’s honestly worth it! hoping they’ll expand to a bigger place. but it’s totally understandable on the long wait… been here three times (to go & finally dine in). the reviews on the bread plate are 100% right — it’s a must! will be coming back again!

First time here and would most definitely come back. We split The New York State of Mind with half red pepper and without. They split it perfectly unlike many other restaurants.The pizza crust had just the right amount of crispiness on the bottom and outer edges with a soft inside edge. The red pepper wasn't overpowering and allowed the spiciness of the pepperoni n sausage to come through. I really wanted a 3rd piece but didn't want to be too full. 😁 Most bread is just bread to me but this bread plate was something else. Between myself and my bread loving wife we each ate a slice of the 3 different types. Then I wanted more but needed to save room for the pizza.

⭐⭐⭐/3

Had the New York state of mind. The crust was phenomenal. The sausage was so good and the crispy cupped pepperoni was tasty. If you haven't tried this its a must for pizza lovers.

My son and I went there a couple wks back. I LOVED IT! it's a small but cozy establishment. We sat at the bar and even though it took a while (which our waitress warned us it would) it didn't seem like it. 3 things I was impressed with...1. I really enjoyed seeing how the staff worked with each other. They were really a team! 2. The pizza was AWESOME! One of the best I've ever had! And 3. I loved seeing the owner in the kitchen working just as hard as his employees. My son just moved a block away so I'll definitely be going back!!!

Easily the best pizza in town! There are two different style crusts that you can get and we always get this Sicilian. We absolutely love the bee sting and the mushroom kale pizzas. They let you do half-and-half also if you’re craving two different kinds!

Brian, the owner is an absolute delight and I love that he supports the local community by trading goods.

The specials here are always interesting and fun! My favorite so far has been any sandwich on milk bread.

If you’re looking for something other than pizza, their burger, and chicken sandwich sandwiches are also delicious! For dessert, you cannot go wrong with their skillet cookie. They do a great job with dessert special specials also. I absolutely love both salads that they have here and it’s a perfect pair with their bread plate and fried cheese. There has to be balance and everything.

I always get this sangria when we come in, which is seasonal, so it’s different all the time. They do a great job with their cocktails as well.

The staff here is always so friendly. If you’re thinking that you’ve wanted to try this place, you have no reason not to!

Best Pizza in the Quad Cities!

If you're looking for a thin crust New York style pizza or Sicilian style pizza, this is the place you need to try.

Menu items pictured in post includes pizzas New York State of Mind, Bee Sting, Elote and Rosted Wild Mushrooms & Fried Kale.

Establishment is small but super cozy and lively. Service is better than most Places You'll Find in the Quad Cities. Thank you Mo for creating such an awesome environment with great service. Some might say the prices are a little high but the price reflects the quality and taste of the food. Portion sizes are very generous.

Parking is a bit Limited, restrooms are extremely clean and overall establishment is very Lively and cozy. This is my first time eating here and I have to go back to try the Sicilian style pizza according to Mo. I'll be back in a few weeks.

Updating my previous post now that I got the opportunity to try the Sicilian style pizza. Now having the Sicilian style pizza this place has cemented for me the best pizza in the Quad Cities. As an FYI to anyone reading, I would highly recommend getting there early or calling ahead to order for pickup the sicilian-style pizza as he only makes so many per day until he runs out which is typically very quickly. Probably one of the better Sicilian style pizzas I've had and whatever the crust consists of, I was happy that I could eat the majority of the pizza and not feel bloated or gut rot like you do with other crusts. Pictures are attached of the takeout that I ordered which consists of sausage and mushroom. Definitely five stars on this pizza.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The pizza was delicious. Service was great. We had the New York style but next time we will try the Sicilian style.

High end pizza with a local spot feel. Refined fired or Detroit style pizzas and fusion Italian appetizers. Definitively cannot find a similar pizza experience in the area.
