My New Favorite Pizza In Peoria

Pizza tops the list when I ask my children what they want for dinner. I love it. They love it. Let's order. The problem for me has been finding a favorite pizza place in Peoria. Over the past several years, there hasn't been a hands-down winner. My all-time favorite is Gioridano's but there's not a restaurant in Peoria. It's usually when I visit my parents in the Chicago suburbs that I get to gorge myself on a Gioridano's stuffed pizza with lots of cheese. MMMM. So I was pleasantly surprised when I visited Firehouse Pizza, which recently moved from Pioneer Parkway to a strip mall off Knoxville Avenue on the north side of Peoria. For me, it's all about the sauce and Firehouse has a zesty one that keeps my taste-buds interested. It's officically my new favorite pizza. At least for now. If you decide to try it, order something different like the chicken barbecue pizza topped with cheese and jalapeno peppers. It may not sound good but it's yummy. There's also a lunch buffet. Below I've listed my top five pizza joints in Peoria and one in Champaign. I'd love to hear about your favorite pizza place. Please, let me know.
