The only place that I will go to for authentic quad city style pizza perfect slightly sweet thin crust . I always love the classic sausage and mushroom!Always perfect, crumbled sausage on every inch fresh mushrooms and melted motazzarela. But anything from their pizzas to calzones is perfect Everytime. With very prompt and polite service . With a great atmosphere of authentic quad citys . A landmark restaurant and a must try for everyone .

First time trying. Got a large pep and sausage with extra cheese today. Was barely $30 for it and would easily feed 3-4 people. Some of the best if not the best pizza in the area. Forget dominos and Pizza Hut get you some poor

We ordered a large half-sausage/half-pepperoni pizza and found it to be wonderful! The seasoning in the sausage was delicious, (not too spicy, but very tasty and ground finely to provide a nice layer for the fresh mozzarella to melt onto)! The crust was exceptionally good, I loved the seeds on the bottom and the slightly malty and nutty taste)! The airiness of the crust suggests that it was made fresh, hand-tossed, not from frozen which distinguishes Poor Boy's from the other local highly-rated and much-regaled H@##:$ Pizza. Unlike the other local "Quad-City tradition", Poor Boy's Pizza accepts all credit/debit cards, offers home delivery services and will enjoy my continued patronage in the future!

Fresh handmade pasta, fresh handmade pizza dough, sauce with a secret recipe that's been passed on for years... Mwah! And I can't believe that their pasta and lasagna we're not even mentioned down below. That's a tragedy, because their chicken Alfredo is amazing!!

It has been a while since I'd been there and the pizza was just as good as I remembered. But the pricing was screwy.

I drive 20 minutes to get pizza from poor boys. It's that good. My wife loves their salad and says its always fresh. Also, the cooks have good music playing, and a lot of the time, they are singing along and just seem to be having a good time, which adds to the atmosphere. Highly recommend ?
