A Peoria Pizza joint is offering a sweet sauce and unique toppings... including mustard and pickles!!!
Eric Shangraw goes for lunch at Firehouse Pizza in this week's You Gotta Eat.

Firehouse Pizza is already outgrowing its' second location in less than five years of business. The restaurants' theme is dedicated to firefighters. Shane Couri and his brother Kelly are co–owners. Kelly is the firefighter. He was working when we visited... but his collection of memorabilia is always on display.

We have a special sauce. It is kind of a sweet sauce. Customers seem to like it. It is a lot different than anything else here in Peoria, said Shane Couri.

It is totally different. It is indescribable. It is different than any other pizza parlor, said customer Travaye Gaines, who comes twice a week.

It has a lot (of toppings) on it. And the sauce is good. It is kind of sweet, said customer Irv Bernstein.

One of Firehouse's top selling pizzas is the Cheeseburger Supreme. Photographer Larry Foulk and I ordered a half cheeseburger. –Hamburger, onion, bacon, cheddar cheese, mozzarella with mustard and pickles. Your taste buds will be momentarily confused if your eyes are closed during the oral impact. On the other half of our pizza... we ordered the Meat Lovers' toppings. Both sides had their own distinct flavor... both sides were good. Larry felt right at home spending much of his meal surfing through the satellite TV they offer almost every table. –Our bill $21.88. Don't wait for a culinary emergency to visit the firehouse.
Firehouse Pizza is open seven days a week starting at eleven a–m.
