Paul Revere's Pizzamay be a Cedar Rapids-based franchise of pizzerias scatteredmostly across Eastern Iowa, but the pair operating in Des Moineshave always seemed to operate as a separate entity. In factthey're not even listed on the corporation's website.

Their pizza isn't exceptional, but it is cheesy. Friends of minein the Kingman neighborhood enjoyed the occasional sausage andmushroom pizza, but I like my Paul Revere's pizza even simplerwith just a scattering of pepperoni, as shown here on a 20-inch Ihad delivered while dog-sitting earlier this year.

I'm a fan of breakfast at Mullets [seeblog post], especially so of their heartybreakfast burrito. On my last visit I took the side of salsa verdeand mixed it into a small bowl of sausage gravy. A perfect burritotopper! But ask for a plate so you can smother it.

B-Bop's is the favorite choice ofmany Central Iowans for burgers, fries, and shakes. Of late I'vetried the half-pound BBQ Bacon Cheddar Burger withSweet Baby Ray'sbarbeque sauce, pickles, and onions; and the B.L.T.,uniquely built on a sesame seed bun. But what I've enjoyed themost is the tasty chili. A loose, tomatoey concoction, B-Bop'schili is as homey as it gets. Shredded cheese offered as a topperquickly melts into the soupy brew, complimenting its saucyessence. Crushed saltines soften when added and contribute awelcoming body.
