Bachelor on the Cheap Update 06/28/2022:  This article was originally posted in 2018 and the price has gone up a bit, a large single topping pizza is now $1.99, still a pretty darn good value.

If you’re traveling for business, vacationing, or just taking an impromptu road trip and you find yourself craving some pizza, Casey’s General Store is a reliably good option to satisfy that craving.

In the time it takes to refuel your vehicle, go to the bathroom and get yourself a fountain drink, you can order and pickup a large pizza that in my humble opinion, is better than anything you might get at a Little Caesar’s (YUCK!), Pizza Hut (Inconsistent & SLOW delivery), or Papa John’s (Eh).

Casey’s Pizza

I was on vacation recently and in the mood for pizza.  I was in small town Missouri, so my options were few.  Seeking out a local Mom & Pop to try, I found none, the only choices available were national chains.  Given my options, without hesitation, I decided on a pizza from Casey’s General Store. 

Their advertising slogan is true, they are known for their pizza.  Why?  Because it’s reliably good, it’s ready in 10 – 15 minutes and it’s reasonably priced.  My large pepperoni and mushroom pizza cost me $11 and some change and it hit the spot.   The pizza maker was a bit skimpy with the mushrooms but I did get pepperoni in each bite, there was a generous portion of cheese and the crust was baked to perfection. 

Casey’s pizza gets three out of five Bachelor on the Cheap stars.  It would have scored four stars with more mushrooms.  And yes, there is better, fancier and with that, higher priced pizza out there, but when a local/Mom & Pop pizza shop isn’t available, know that Casey’s is reliably good and you can’t beat the convenience.  Gas up, clean the windshield, relieve yourself, get a fountain drink and a satisfying carry-out pizza, all in about 10 – 15 minutes.  One stop on-the-road shopping before heading to the hotel.
