Harris Pizza

The pizza was not that good. We are at a hospital with a sick kid. When we asked for to go plates and forks they tried to charge us over $ 7 for them which I’ve never seen before. I didn’t mind paying$.90 a cup for bad tasting sauce even though we ordered 3 garlic breads. But the charges for plates and forks and the rudeness of the employees I will not be going back ever.

Picked up a pie to go last night. Great crust, toppings, cheese & sauce. Enjoyed it watching the world series from home. Highly recommend The Rink.

Solid quad city style pizza

Never will eat here again! Found hair in the pizza one time when we ate here a long time ago and the kitchen staff gave us a dirty look as we were leaving like it was our fault. Sorry to say but the pizza really wasn’t that good anyways.

I am giving this place two stars because the price you pay for their pizza is far to much for the product you are given. I love a good pizza and this place just isn’t for me. The service is very nice and drinks prices are reasonable.

Ok pizza, but definitely not the WORLD’s finest.
We decided to continue our search for good pizza from local establishments in the QC area and tried Harris on many recommendations from friends and neighbors. We ordered the Deluxe (sans mushrooms) and an order of wings.
Wings — excellent and this is where the good review is coming from. They were fried… so you can typically fry just about anything and have it be awesome, but they did them just right. Crispy, not oily and delicious. Came with sauce on the side, would have preferred that they toss the wings in the sauce, but I suppose this did keep them nice and crisp since we ordered pick up.
Pizza — not impressed at all. I have yet to develop any type of taste for «QC style» pizza. The taste of the pizza was, eh, ok. Lacked a fair amount of sauce was really thin. The cheese layer felt like they just piled cheese on for the sake of it. It was a thick layer of mozzarella that made the ability to pick up the slices absolutely diminished. The over powering cheese layer took out a lot of the flavor of the sausage, which was fairly good. The crust itself was pretty good, but again didn’t wow me for a $ 22 large pie.
Overall, probably won’t order from them again due to the large cost of their pizzas and the mediocre taste. Still searching for an excellent pie in the area…

I ask you, what does Canadian bacon have to do with Germany? Because that’s the meat that was placed on my German pie, though I didn’t know that at the time — I was under the gun, at the register, with the cashier staring me down wondering what, if anything, I will eventually decide on eating. It’s not like you see a lot of German pizzas on the menu, and I’m of Easter European descent, so it was a natural choice, albeit one at the expense of the supposedly awesome sausage that is the hallmark of any Quad Cities pizza.
Despite my complaining, I really, REALLY liked this pizza, thanks to the large amount of sauerkraut placed atop it. Unlike the lettuce of a taco pizza, which is stupid and boring, the sauerkraut provides a tangy and acidic zip to the pizza that you’re not going to find outside of jalapenos or maybe some green olives. That, pared with the creamy mozzarella and yes, even the Canadian bacon, made for a tasty pie, but it didn’t stop there. The sauce — seasoned well and balanced. But the crust — sort of like that of a bagel — took the chew factor even further than a normal pizza, and had an everlasting crisp exterior that I couldn’t get enough of. I don’t know if that crust is indicative of the Quad style or is unique to Harris, but either way I liked it.
What I didn’t care for was the way it’s cut into strips. Sure, it gets around the problems presented by the Midwestern tavern-​style cut — every piece has an end piece of crust to grab on to — but they were droopy and hard to manage.
Between the lack of sausage, the great crust that may not be a part of the style at all, and the cross cut issues, you could say I hardly had a Quad Cities pizza, and the aspects of which I did have, I didn’t particularly enjoy. But I’m fine with that, so long as the pizza is all-​around good, and this pizza certainly fits the bill.

Yum. The crust makes this pizza. I get vegetarian taco. I need to do a head-​to-​head comparison between Happy Joe’s and Harris, but I think Harris wins out due to crust and addition of beans.

Yum!
My new favorite is pizza is the Harris «chicken santa fe»…i got it for myself and found both my sons competing for it… Next time I’m going to order with the expectation of having to share.
We also got a Deluxe… it was good, but it was no comparison to the garlicky goodness of the santa fe. I wasn’t highly fond of the loose ground meat… it fell everywhere when I picked up my pizza. It also just lacked in flavor when I compared to the santa fe.
This pizza is definitely a messy endeavor. A fork and knife would be much more polite than my method: Pick it up with my fingers and just stuff it in my mouth before it could fall apart again.
Very pricy for pizza. However, I’d have to say that it was worth it!

These guys are truly customer oriented. Delicious pizza, perhaps the best in the Quad Cities.
Harris Pizza is one of those businesses who know that happy customers will return again again. Guess thats why they have been around for 25 years.

Here’s the thing about Harris Pizza– you either love it or you hate it. I, for one, am not a fan. I don’t like how the meat just falls off the pizza and the crust is soggy. It has a strange taste to me. However, I have met a lot of people that love it, so if you’ve never had it you should just try it for yourself.

Harris Pizza created a style of pizza that is ubiquitous in the Quad Cities – cheesy, medium-​thick crispy crust, slightly sweet and herby tomato sauce, and sometimes outlandish ingredients. Sure, you can get your basic pepperoni and mushroom (and it will be very tasty), but why would you when you could have the Three Alarm Pizza (BBQ sauce, jalapeños, onions, and pepper jack cheese)? Don’t forget the antacids. Harris Pizza has several locations around the Quad Cities.

Once again, they do not fail me. Last week, while in the QC area, we visited Harris. I think their sausage pizza is jut about the best around. I have only found 1 place that comes remotely close.
The service was pretty good. We only had to ask for refills once. Our pizza and apps came out quick and hot, as ordered. We had 2 large pies, a small and some appetizers. The homemade chips were a great appetizer!
Of course the star was the sausage pizza. I get my yearly fix of this stuff, and it has yet to disappoint. Completely unrelated, the nearby Abbey has been converted to a REHAB PLACE! Ouch!

Best Sausage pizza in the QC. (hint: the best Harris sausage pizza if from 3^rd street Harris in Dport.)

Very popular with native quad-​citians, Harris pizza must be an acquired taste. If you like your pizza crust to resemble a thin wet cracker, then you will love Harris Pizza.
update 08/​03/​2008 — eating crow. After moving to the Bay Area and having more bad pizza experiences in the past 4 years than during my previous 4 decades, I decided to give Harris Pizza a try on my last visit to the QCA. I thought perhaps my horizons had been broadened enough to appreciate something about Harris Pizza, and I was right. Although I am still troubled by the damp, floppy crust, the taste was delicious. With knife and fork, and plenty of napkins, I can dig it.

Harris has the best tasting pizza in the Quad Cities. Many have tried to duplicate their recipe, but none have come close. The variety of tastes offered on their menu make this restaurant one that will please everyone in your family.
