Trying pizza at the Great Plains Sauce and Dough Company

While in Ames, we stopped to try another of the 100 Things in Iowa You Must Eat, #10. Denver-Style Crust Pizza at The Great Plains Sauce and Dough Co. Denver-style crust appears to be crispy on the bottom, whole wheat, and closer to deep dish than thin-and-crispy. The outer ring of the crust, sometimes the part people don't actually eat (thereby producing "pizza bones"), is a little wider and thicker than usual... and that sets up a situation for something I'd not seen before. At the condiment counter, there are squeeze bottles of honey; not to put on the pizza toppings but to squirt on that outer ring after the "pizza" is gone. It's now a tasty honey-wheat little treat. Nifty, eh?
