Retail Restaurant Roundup: IKEA, 1800 McConnor Pkwy, Schaumburg, IL


Full disclosure: this slice was doomed from the first time I decided to try it. Many years ago, IKEA's snack counter at the front of the store used to serve pizza pockets. They were greasy with great ratios of ingredients - perfect sized, like little handheld calzones. I thought about them often (probably embarrassingly often, even for me.) There were a few years where I didn't visit an IKEA, and when I finally returned, I happily trotted over to the counter to grab a pre-shop (super healthy) snack of the pocket and a cinnamon roll, only to discover that they didn't have the pizza pocket. Ever since then, I've had it out for this pizza, and I don't think I'd ever even tried it until my last pilgrimage to the Swedish wonderland.

I bitterly walked over to the snack counter and skeptically ordered a slice. The pie sitting under the heat lamp looked like it could have potential with visible seasoning and mostly adequate cheese. A few slices had some egregious air bubbles - my least favorite part of any pizza and sure enough, I got the piece with most of the bulges. 


It wasn't remarkable, but it wasn't as terrible as I'd expected either. The crust was chewy but overall well seasoned, and the toppings were messy, but it was about average for a retail pizza. Next time I'll opt for the cinnamon roll instead.

Rating: 4/10 Slices

    I think it would be great if you reviewed all of the food at Ikea. What time did you eat the pizza? Maybe you need to go at peak times when it's fresh? Also I'd like a comparison between bulk store pizzas, Sam's, Costco, Ikea, ETC.

    Bulk store pizza is on the list! We're out of pizza crust in the house, so expect Costco soon. I should review all of Ikea's food. I truly think I could live there!

    Wendy's introduced new offers in to the market, I don't know to what extent those Spicy Nuggets will be accessible, however, so on the off chance that you're losing it over Wendy's bringing back its Spicy Chicken Nuggets, at that point, you ought to most likely grab them up with this arrangement.

    The way that we could fabricate an independent café in one of Southern California's generally searched after sea shore networks was too acceptable to even think about passing up. https://elegantgentsbarbershop.com/
