Tomaso’s Pizza
October 17th, 2007
Sometimes it can be difficult for a locally-owned pizza place to differentiate itself from the competition. That is not the case with the pizza at Tomaso’s in Cedar Rapids, which features a deliciously unique ’Detroit deep dish’ crust.
Like traditional Chicago pizza, the cheese and toppings are placed first on the crust, with the sauce added last. The difference is there is no “lip” to the crust, so cheese melts to the side of the pan and caramelizes along the edges. The result is an excellent pizza unlike anything in the area.
If you go, expect delicious food and a well-kept dining area but not a formal dining experience: after you place an order, you will be responsible for gathering white styrofoam plates, red plastic cups and metal forks for your pizza.
