The main waitress seemed under the infulence of some type of uppers and very disheveled. Unfortunately we had already ordered at the front or we would have likely left without eating. I'm not saying that the folks there weren't nice to us. But when the lady delivers the pizza's and she has a bandage covering a wound that is flappin in the wind as she sets the pizza's down, it kind of makes you lose your appetite. It is sad to see that. Our whole table felt bad for her. The experience says a lot for the state of labor and the workforce. After going there I looked up the place here and it looks like I am not the first to have this experience. Unfortunately I will not be going back to this restaurant.

The sandwiches are, in my opinion, better than the two other sources within a block or two: Gary's Super Value grocery store and Subway. There are half-a-dozen or so sources for pizza in town, but, believe it or not, Casey's pizza is really good, and at a reasonable price to boot. Even if you order a pizza on the spot, it doesn't take an eternity to bake. The pizza in the case is always fresh, because they change it out regularly. But order by phone and stop by to get it--or they'll deliver it to wherever you are (within reason). It's certainly worth a shot!

High-End Pizza & Perfect Peronis…read more If you're looking for authentic, high-quality pizza in North Liberty, Rusciano's is the spot. The pizza was excellent--perfectly cooked crust and fresh toppings that actually taste like they came from an Italian kitchen. It's hard to find a place that gets the balance of sauce and cheese just right, but they nailed it. To top it off, they have Peroni on deck. There's nothing better than a cold, crisp Italian lager to cut through a rich pizza. Great atmosphere, even better food. We'll definitely be back!

We devoured the break sticks, which were basically a crispy-yet-chewy use of their dough. With slightly more Parmesan on/in the bread, they could hit a whole other level, but they were already really good as is. The crust on the medium Chicago style pizza we ordered was to die for. It was perfectly cooked, crisp and flaky along the outside and more than capable of holding its own with all the toppings. We had pepperoni, sausage, green olives, and basil for toppings, but they seemed a bit light - especially the meats. A little more flavor and spice from the meat would have helped pierce through an otherwise pretty average sweet marinara sauce, creating a nicer balance. We almost ate the whole pie, but we were able to get the last piece wrapped in foil to take home with us along with a couple pieces of bubble gum (their fun take on an after-dinner mint/snack). Considering I enjoyed the crust so much, I would be curious to try their NY style the next time we visit.

Service was great and the waiter was pretty good at making the rounds, making sure I was attended to. I was going to order the large but he insisted to get the medium knowing the pie was going to be too big. (I should have ordered the large! ). When the pie came out, everything about this pizza was a step above any slice I've ever had. I'm a uge fan , that's right "UGE" fan of Dave Portnoy 1 slice pizza review and have been dying to try the NH style type of pizza. I ordered a medium (which was uge btw) pep pizza and it came out within 10 mins. Each slice had zero flop and a beautiful undercarriage! The dough had that true charcoal oven fired tasted and the pepperoni cups were crisp and spicy! The thing that really elevated this pizza for me was that after taken it back to the hotel and microwaving it, (it lost some of it structure) but the crust was still pretty crispy! How am I'm suppose to go back to Texas now knowing this kind of slice exists!?! The place also has some pretty cool shirts which are kind of pricey but tbh will always remind me of that one time I'd almost cried eating pizza.

By the end we were famished! So we decided to pop down the street to this hole in the wall pizza spot. It was happenin'. There's no waitstaff. You order at the window and they hand you an old school ticket.... it takes a minute for your order to be made. Don't forget to listen for your number! They only yell it once or twice then just let it sit in the window, waiting for it to be claimed. We got the cheesy bread (A GOTTA-TRY) -- I am a breadstick snob, these were legit and the marinara was fab. The pizza is thin crust, and hit the spot. The cheese and pepperoni were piping hot. Seating is limited and large parties could be accommodated but it could take a minute to make a table large enough. We had 11 and were able to squeeze into two tables by the front window, luckily. (That being said it was an off time, so if it had been a peak 'dinner time' hour-- we would have been SOL.) Overall, bang for buck was good. Parking is a non-issue. This wouldn't necessarily be as successful of a spot in bigger cities, but for West Branch-- you can tell this is a local favorite both for the food and as a watering hole. (The bar area was jam packed.)
