What does “Casey's pizza” mean
Hand-rolled pizza made in-house at Casey's General Store, a convenience-store chain headquartered in Ankeny, Iowa with more than half its stores in towns under 5,000 people. Casey's is the fifth-largest pizza chain in the U.S., and in a lot of rural Iowa and Nebraska it's literally the only pizza in town — locals genuinely rank breakfast pizza orders against fine dining.
