pizza

This might have been the dumbest question I've ever asked and that's saying something. I asked who has the best gas station pizza in Missouri and the answers were nearly unanimous.

Are you adverse to wheat, but also love pizza? If so, you should know that USA Today readers just named two Illinois places among the best joints in America when it comes to delicious gluten-free pizza.

Imagine how many thousands of pizza places there are in all of the Midwest. The fact that one Illinois pizza joint was just declared the 3rd best in the entire region is quite a compliment and that's exactly what happened from the reviewers at Yelp.

Oh, to be a time traveler and go back to when this era was happening again. A retro 1972 ad shows how inexpensive it was to eat out at a pizza joint 52 years ago in Missouri.

I will admit that I had never heard of this pizza chain before today, but if business experts are right, that will change soon. One of the fastest-growing pizza chains in America is already in 7 Missouri towns and that's expected to expand even further.

The struggle continues for many food franchises as a company that owns many Pizza Hut locations in Illinois has reportedly filed for bankruptcy.

The chain has more than 500 locations across the country.

Well, that was a close one. After recent reports that a pizza chain with 22 locations in Illinois was nearing bankruptcy, they suddenly appear to be saved by a sale at the last possible moment.

It's not easy trying to be a restaurant these days and national chains are certainly not excluded. Multiple reports say that a pizza chain that currently has 22 restaurants in Illinois is exploring bankruptcy possibilities.

Some rather notable cities are missing from this list that claims to show to best places to get pizza in the U.S.
