Bad Boy'z Pizza

"It was a Friday night and every place was busy so I decided on takeout pizza. The hotel where I’m staying recommended this place so I thought I would try it. The pizza was excellent, the staff behind the counter where I got my takeout pizza were very friendly and helpful. The kitchen took a long time, but the place was extremely busy so that is understandable. I did not complain, but they took the initiative and gave me a free soda while I was waiting and then at the end, they surprised me with the little gift certificate for being so patient and for waiting a while. Anna and Megan were wonderful. I’m not in the restaurant business, but if I were and they applied for a job, they would be certainly on my A-list . This is definitely a go to place for takeout, I don’t know what the wait was for those dining in, but I would go back to this place anytime in the area."

"It's my favorite watering hole after work! And their pizza is great too."

"It's a pretty standard sports bar kind of place but the pizza is delicious. We love their specialty pizzas and they're very flexible on half-and-half pizzas. The drink prices are very reasonable. They also bring out dough for our toddler to play with when he's getting fussy."

"In town visiting ,read reviews and had to explore. #1 - Our waitress was awesome, friendly, and gave the best suggestions on appetizer& pizzas . So ,with that ,we wanted to buy her a shot.

"It's been the better part of a decade since I've been to Bad Boy'z Pizza on Utica. I liked going to this location when I was still in school in the area, but hadn't returned since leaving the area for work in Eastern Illinois. Now that I'm back and checking out pizza places again, I felt it was time to try Bad Boy'z once more. The interior of their new Utica Ridge Road space is much the same as the one they moved from - a plain concrete slab on the floor, black tiles drop ceiling, and red and black painted walls through most of the rest of the space. Lighting is supplied from a combination of recessed fixtures in the ceiling and hanging barn pendant fixtures through part of the space. The overall vibe works well with the outlaw/criminal theming - dark and moody. It all ties together well. I opted for a simple two topping pizza (just pepperoni and spicy sausage) for this visit. The pizza was out to me within 20 minutes of ordering. I was honestly just a little worried - I had forgotten the pizza bears many of the visual traits of other Quad Cities style pizza. Strip cuts, toppings under the cheese...I wasn't sure it was going to work for me (I'm not the biggest fan of the style). Fortunately, many of the drawbacks of the typical Quad Cities pie were not present here. The sausage used was in discreet chunks (not the crumbly stuff) which probably kept the crust from getting saturated with grease. This was confirmed with my first slice - the crust has plenty of structural integrity to it, a must for a pizza cut into strips. Even though the toppings were placed under the cheese, they were still adequately cooked through and tasted well seasoned. It wasn't my favorite pie, but it was still an enjoyable experience. The noise level of the space was a bit much for me. This wasn't due to anything really controllable by Bad Boy'z - rather, it was just really busy when I happened to visit (Friday nights should be, really). I'll probably refrain from a return visit until the warmer parts of the year when the patio is open so as to avoid another noisy evening. Thanks Bad Boy'z for the good pizza!"
