“Update below... Tonight (01/27) we bought a thin crust Sweet Heat Sausage & Pepperoni Large Pizza. The young gal, Hailey? did a fantastic job making our Pizza! Unlike most every thin crust that we have ever had, she made sure that the toppings went all the way to the edge, which is the way it should be! Too often they're way too far from the edge and the toppings are not spread evenly on all the pieces. She did such a good job that we called to let her know. Thank you; it was delicious! UPDATE: Last night (02/10), the young man who made the same pizza for us that we've had two weeks in a row; he also did a fantastic job! The way it should be; nice, even coverage of ingredients and all the way to the edges of our thin crust pizza. Three times in one month Casey's, you've done an excellent job. Thank you!”

“I just went in to get a tea and a muffin. They also have slices of pizza that is chicken, bacon, with a ranch sauce instead of tomato sauce. It was good for a change. They're nice. I have arthritis and couldn't get the plastic lid of my sweet leaf tea. Glad I hadn't left yet. I went back in and asked the young man working the cash register if he could open it for me, and he did.”
