Tomaso's Pizza — Restaurant in Cedar Rapids

Are at Tomaso's Pizza once before and remember it being pretty good, about 5 years ago. Went and had their taco pizza, most expensive pizza on the menu. As I read through the taco pizza description I thought wow doesn't sound like there's much on it how does this come out to be the one the more expensive pizzas but oh what the heck give it a try. When the pizza came I stared at it for a minute wondering if they could have put any less toppings on it that they already had. At first I presume to think that they had forgot to put the taco sauce on it or tomato sauce as there was no sauce on the pizza. One could couldn't tell that there was meat on the pizza by taste the only reason I did know is because I physically picked up some things to see. The thought crossed through my mind, this literally tastes like a breadstick. I was apprehensive about complaining about the pizza because I was with my significant other and I wanted enjoy the evening. I was so dissatisfied, trust me I'm not one to complain when I'm out dining, I did stop at the front desk and ask them does a taco pizza come with a sauce. And they asked me what did you order and I reply a taco pizza. The guy behind the counter look to the other people and had to ask and they're like oh no it doesn't. Granted they gave you taco sauce to squeeze over the top. Once we left me and my boyfriend started to talk about it and we both agreed how horrible it was and could not give any reasoning how that pizza cost $27 dollar. And he stated it tasted like a breadstick and I laughed and said I was thinking the same thing. Taco pizzas normally cost a lot because they have so much for toppings. I got more irritated the more I thought about it. I called the store once I got home and politely talk to ask the manager, was completely rude to me. All I can say I will never return to Tomaso's Pizza they will never get another penny for me and I don't...

I was in the mood for a Chicago deep dish pizza tonight, so and my family and I decided to give Tomaso's a try. Let me start off by saying that their pizza was okay, no one forced me to eat three pieces, but everyone knows that pizza is just like sex, even when its bad its good. I AM willing to give credit where credit is due, but it wasn't the kind of pizza where you say to yourself "I'm definitely coming back". My biggest disappointment, besides paying $30 for what they called a "Chicago deep dish pizza", was that calling their pizza a Chicago deep dish would be like me trying to sell you a Ford Pinto, but calling it a Cadillac instead. After all they're both cars right? Wrong! Forgive my comparison, but when I am paying more for a product that is supposed to deliver a more substantial experience (like a Cadillac) I don't expect to be given a Pinto only to be told it is their interpretation of a Caddy. This is exactly how I felt when I peeled back the (apparently award winning pizza) box, and instead of the three inch tall, 20 lb. monster pie bathed in rich and chunky pizza sauce, seated on top of mounds of cheese and meats, I received a slightly thicker crusted, barely-there-sauce-on-top & I'm-on-a-diet-so-limit-the-toppings imitation. I had fully expected the kind of pie that numerous other restaurants in Cedar Rapids already know how to make, A REAL CHICAGO DEEP DISH PIZZA!!!! Take my advice, save your money, go somewhere that doesn't false advertise a...

Incompetent high/JH-schoolers, counted 8 working the ovens-most were standing around doing nothing/gossiping. When I ordered a pizza "well-cooked" one of the teenager's kept scanning the oven 20-30 seconds and asking me- "do you want it out now?". Not only did this action allow heat to escape the oven, but it also impeded the cooking process of several other pizzas that other customers had ordered. Would not have thought getting a pizza to cook to this standard to be a difficult task to achieve, since this was easy/run-of-the-mill when I was working at a pizza joint in the past. Thankfully the pizza did come out to spec after being asked many times. My advice to the teenager- Would it kill you to take your job a little more seriously and maybe try to learn something instead of gossip all the time?

Also, one could tell from the flavor of the pizza that it did not have any "fresh" ingredients put on despite what other comments claim below.

Overall an overpriced disappointment on many levels. Would not...
