Get ready to vote for the best pizza in the Quad Cities!

The64.com is launching Best Pizza competitions in Chicago, Detroit, New York, Las Vegas and the Quad Cities on August 27, giving fans the final say on which pizzeria deserves to be named the best in their respective markets. Click here to see the competitors in the Quad Cities division.

Each city features 64 local pizzerias competing in head-to-head public voting over 18 days. A new round begins every three days until one restaurant is crowned the champion. Voting starts on August 27 and winners will be announced September 14.

“Chicago, Detroit, New York, Las Vegas and the Quad Cities each have different pizza scenes,” said Justin Woo, founder of The64.com. “That’s what makes launching all five competitions at once so interesting. Each market will choose a winner that reflects their own tastes and loyalties.”

The64.com competitions are decided entirely through voting from the public, with no judges or paid placements. Contenders were chosen based on public nominations, social media buzz and top online reviews.

Tender liver, sweet onions, and a hot skillet come together in the kind of old-fashioned dinner that once showed up on family tables without anyone needing to explain it. The onions cook down until soft, golden, and deeply savory, while the liver gets a rich sear around the edges and stays tender inside when handled right. A little butter, seasoning, and pan juice pull everything together into a simple plate that tastes hearty, earthy, and unmistakably nostalgic. It is the sort of budget-minded meal that feels tied to another era of home cooking, when practical ingredients were expected to be filling, flavorful, and worth sitting down for.

Florida Man’s Poop Fight Goes Completely Off the Rails.

Folks, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Florida is the only place where a disagreement over dog poop can apparently escalate into a felony case, an assault with a scooter, and enough body-cam footage to make Netflix start taking notes.

Dolly Parton’s 5-Ingredient Casserole Is the Kind of Southern Supper That Knows How to Feed a Hungry

A short ingredient list can still deliver the kind of bubbling, cheesy comfort that makes everyone wander into the kitchen before dinner is called. This casserole keeps things wonderfully simple, layering familiar pantry staples into a hot, hearty bake with tender textures, savory flavor, and plenty of old-fashioned appeal. The top gets golden around the edges, the middle stays creamy and satisfying, and every scoop feels like the sort of covered-dish supper that belonged at family gatherings long before complicated recipes took over. It is practical, cozy, and exactly the kind of meal that proves five ingredients can still make dinner feel generous.

This Backyard Weed Heals Cuts Faster Than Neosporin

If you've got plantain growing in your yard, you're basically sitting on a first aid kit and don't even know it. It's one of those "weeds" most people pull and toss without a second thought, but it's actually one of the best skin healing herbs out there. I started using it on scrapes and cuts a few years ago and never looked back. 😊

America Has No President

Teddy Roosevelt. Harry Truman. Dwight Eisenhower. They were not always popular. They certainly never wielded “unitary executive” authority. But they all tried to lead our big, complicated nation and faithfully execute the laws passed by Congress.

The Cabbage Soup People Keep Coming Back to When They Want Something Light but Actually Satisfying

ender cabbage, tomatoes, vegetables, and savory broth come together in a bowl that feels fresh, hearty, and far more comforting than “diet food” usually gets credit for. As it simmers, the cabbage softens without turning mushy, the vegetables release their sweetness, and the broth picks up enough flavor to make every spoonful feel substantial. It is warm, colorful, and packed with texture, making it a practical choice when you want a lighter meal that still tastes like real food instead of a compromise.

This meatloaf using stuffing mix rarely makes it to the fridge in one piece. Made with ground beef, boxed stuffing mix, and a sweet ketchup glaze, it comes together in one bowl and bakes in about an hour, the kind of meal that gets a second helping before the first plates are even cleared.

Ritz Party Sandwiches Bring Back the Kind of Ham-and-Swiss Snack Tray Everyone Crowds Around

Buttery Ritz crackers layered with savory ham and melty Swiss cheese turn into the kind of baked party bite that feels nostalgic, salty, and incredibly easy to love. As they warm, the cheese softens into gooey little layers, the ham stays tender and savory, and the crackers keep enough crispness to make every bite satisfying. A buttery seasoning brushed over the top adds even more richness, giving the whole tray that warm, savory aroma that makes people start picking at it before the rest of the appetizers are ready. They are simple, bite-sized, and exactly the kind of old-school party food that earns repeat appearances because everyone already knows what to do with them.
