What could make pizza even better than eating for lunch and dinner? Why, eating it at breakfast of course! I wish that rang true of Casey's breakfast pizza. As it stands, it's better to reheat pizza from the previous night, or even straight out of the fridge instead of this falsehood that calls itself a pizza.
All pizzas is crust, sauce, and toppings. The balance and quality of these three items must be of utmost importance when constructing a pizza. I will give credit where credit is due, Casey's crust is good, maybe a bit bland and undercooked, but overall good. However the complete lack of care Casey's shows when selecting toppings and sauce for their now-famous breakfast pizza is amateur This is one of the very few pizzas I have always felt the need to dab off the grease. Of the few times I haven't, I could literally watch as pure grease falls off the slice. No crust could stand up to that torture.
Regarding the sauce and toppings, choosing a nacho cheese as a sauce initially seems like a good idea, but the quanity would need to be reduced by at least half for their to be any balance. The bacon is a nice choice, but they might as well have just put little blocks of pure salt on top, and it would have tasted the same. Coming from the state of Iowa, I would expect more of the bacon in one of the top pork producers in the country.
Maybe when pigs fly, I will choose to order this 'pizza,' but until that time, I'll go for other offerings from Casey's.
