FOSTORIA, OH Casey’s General Stores, a Midwest convenience chain, has built a cult following for its pizza since introducing it over 35 years ago. It’s often hailed as surprisingly high-quality “gas station pizza,” thanks to a focus on fresh, made-from-scratch preparation in each store’s kitchen. Here’s a quick rundown of the key highlights:

• Fresh, Handmade Dough: Every morning, teams prep original dough from scratch using a time-tested recipe—enriched flour, yeast, sugar, and more—for a warm, thin, chewy crust that’s the “backbone” of their pies. It’s available in all sizes and baked fresh throughout the day.
• Real, Quality Ingredients: They use 100% real mozzarella cheese (shredded fresh), hand-cut veggies like onions, green peppers, spinach, and tomatoes for crispness, and premium meats such as pepperoni, sausage, and beef—all sourced for flavor without skimping. Sauces start with tomato puree blended with spices, garlic, and onion.
• Crust Options for Every Craving:
  • Original: Crispy with a sea salt touch.
  • Thin Crust: Lighter and crispier, ideal for topping-heavy pies.
  • Gluten-Free: Cauliflower-based, available in medium size.
• Customization and Specialties: Build-your-own or try fan favorites like breakfast pizza (with eggs and sausage), taco pizza, or even dessert versions with fruit toppings. Add-ons like Mike’s Hot Honey elevate the heat. Pizzas are generous on cheese and toppings for that indulgent bite.
• Convenience Perks: As the 5th largest U.S. pizza chain, it’s made-to-order for pickup or delivery via their app, with restaurant-quality results at gas station speeds. No frozen bases here—everything’s prepped daily for peak freshness.

Customers may purchase pizza by the slice or customize their own pizza.

I love everything about this pizza, I was hooked on my first bite. The cost is on the higher end of the local spectrum but I don’t mind paying more for quality food.
