Van's Pizza Pub & Grill — Restaurant in Davenport

I was so beyond disappointed with this place. My wife really wanted calzones from somewhere so she suggested Van's since it was on our way home. We had never tried it before, but the parking lot was full so we figured it must be good. I called in the order. When I walked in, I couldn't find anywhere you would possibly pick up. When I did find someone to ask about my order, the waitress responded with "calzones? Yeah they arent done yet" and just walked away. I work in the restaurant service so I was immediately put off by her customer service. However I was still optimistic because bad service doesn't always equal bad food. Sadly it did this time. My daughter is 5 and got spaghetti. There were giant chopped onions all over it. We picked them out and she still wanted to eat it because she loves spaghetti. She couldnt make it 2 bites in because the spaghetti sauce was too spicy for her. After trying a bite, I could see why. There was heat behind the sauce and overpowered with pepper and onion. Money wasted there, she had a PB &J for dinner. Moving on to the calzones, we were beyond shocked at how small they were for the price, in comparison to other places in the area, a $10 calzone is usually big enough to share with two people these 2 individual ones were way too small for the price, again I had one last bit of faith because even if they were small, perhaps they would taste good. Unfortunately was not the case. The crust was so soggy it disintegrated, the sauce was extremely overpowering and over spiced, there was no cheese inside, the pepperonis looked liked someone took a giant stack out of one of those little hormel bags and just threw them in there like that. Overall honestly the worst experience I've ever had at a...

A quest for coffee lead to a stranger’s Van.

While on the way to Dunn Brothers Coffee, we needed to stop for food after a semi-long drive. Being new to the area, we took to Yelp to see what was popular in the local area. My friend and I decided on Van’s, because they had pizza and burgers. What else could you want?

So we stopped off and fueled up on burgers. Since we both were starving, we decided against a shared pizza as it wouldn’t fill both of us up. I don’t remember what my friend had, but I had some kind of bbq/onion burger and it was pretty good. Not stellar, but by far better than some of the burgers I have had. My friend, Matt, enjoyed his food as well.

The staff was friendly and chatted with us for a bit. The restaurant itself was nice. It was spacey and plenty of room to hold a busy Friday crowd without it being too packed. The day we went was winding down from a lunch crowd, so it was pleasantly busy but quiet.

Van’s is a pretty nice place. It would be a frequent destination for myself and friends if we lived in the area and needed a good burger and beer.

This is one stranger’s Van you can enter.
