Takeout Thursday: Chad's Pizza

Check out our favorites that are sure to please anyone in the family!

Have you guys tried Chad's Pizza in Cedar Falls? Did you know that they have broasted chicken, appetizers, AND desserts? We got it for carryout this last week and the whole family agreed that it is "the-bomb-dot-com". I'm pretty sure my teenager rolled his eyes at me when I said it, but he thought the food was pretty amazing too. And I am a sucker for good gluten free pizza.

This is how happy I am and look how thick these toppings are:


We wanted to try a variety of foods so we got a Philly Cheesesteak gluten free pizza, a "Chad's Pack" of broasted chicken (8 pack with 1 pound of fries), a kid's meal, and a "Chazookie", which is a thick chocolate chunk cookie the size of a small pizza. 

My gluten free pizza was a medium (most of the time they are small-size/8-10" pizzas) so I had four meals from the one pizza. Don't judge that I didn't even mind eating pizza four times. The crust was great and it was loaded up with toppings. Gluten free pizza is pretty hit and miss: sometimes the dough isn't cooked through, the edges burn, the toppings are minimal, etc.; this was one of my faves. My husband and teenager split the Chad's Pack of broasted chicken and fries and THEY had enough leftovers for a 2nd meal as well (best $14 spent!). The little one loved his kid's meal, classic chicken strips and fries. After I realized how much food came in the Chad's Pack, it did occur to me that he probably could have shared with them.


LOCATION

Chad's is a pretty small location on College Hill, so they don't have a ton of indoor seating, but if you do choose to dine inside they have a full bar, pool table, claw machine, and TVs. Throughout the last few months, they have really upped their "to go" game and are rocking the carryout and delivery orders during the pandemic. They offer fresh pizza delivery up to 30 miles and frozen pizza deliver up to 150 miles(!). They have been delivering to Jesup, Waverly, and throughout the Cedar Valley upon request. They do suggest calling ahead to place your orders and schedule long distance deliveries.


MENU

Chad's Pizza has one of the most extensive menus I've seen in a restaurant with "pizza" in the name. On just their pizza menu, they offer 3 types of gluten free crusts, dairy free cheese, and vegan meats/proteins PLUS over 55 specialty pizzas. However, their menu also includes appetizers, broasted chicken, and desserts.

Chad's prides itself on everything being made fresh, so be sure to order in advance for optimal service!
