From New Haven clam pizzas to Chicago deep-dish and Detroit-style pan pizza to the oh-so-controversial Hawaiian, everyone has a different regional claim to what the best pizza should be. And Midwesterners are no exception.

What Is Casey's?
Ask anyone who's road-tripped through Kansas or Iowa and they'll tell you a pizza pit stop at Casey's is a must. Even celebrity chef Andrew Zimmern is a huge fan of Casey's pizza. “I love gas station food and have tasted three lifetimes’ worth throughout my travels, and Casey’s pizza rises to the top,” Zimmern told Parade in an exclusive interview. And Zimmern is far from the only fan. The pizzas are so beloved that in 2024, Casey's sold 45 million pizzas.

What Makes Casey's Pizza So Good?
"Pizza comes down to the crust. If the crust isn’t good, there’s no saving the pizza," Zimmern explains to Parade. "You can put the most artisanal, glorious stuff on there and I would say you’re ruining those glorious artisanal ingredients because the platform isn’t right. It’s like having bad rice with sushi."

The Best Pizzas to Order at Casey's
Every so often, Casey's will also offer limited-edition pizzas. And this year, just in time for National Barbecue Day, the regional chain is bringing back its beloved BBQ Brisket Pizza.
Casey’s BBQ Brisket Pizza features their signature made-from-scratch dough topped with Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce, mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, jalapeños, red onions and a creamy ranch dressing drizzle. The star of the pie is the double-hardwood, pit-smoked beef brisket that’s dry-rubbed, slow-smoked for up to 16 hours, hand-trimmed and piled high for a smoky, savory bite in every slice.
