Cream cheese pizza – it’s a Midwest thing.

September 15, 2014

As a Colorado native, when I first started school in Kansas and heard about some weird cream cheese pizza creation I was slightly mortified. Cream cheese pizza? Because regular pizza isn’t artery-clogging enough, let’s just add slabs of fat to it. My skepticism was quickly exchanged by a strange love and addiction for the food after being introduced to Pizza Shuttle in Lawrence, Kan.

Some people say that Pizza Shuttle should only be ordered after a night of partying but I think there is nothing better than a bacon, jalapeno, cream cheese Pizza Shuttle Pizza. The crust isn’t for thin crust lovers and if you don’t like cheese you may as well stop reading this post now.

Pizza Shuttle PizzaIf that’s not perfection, I’m not sure what is. If you find yourself in Lawrence or driving east on I-70, make a stop at Pizza Shuttle. You won’t regret it.

    I love your pizza. The drivers are friendly. I like the choice of not having the red sauce on the pizza.

    It’s fucking amazing. I’m out here in California dying for recipe. Was back in Kansas City over the winter and they’ve grown into Kansas City and Overland Park to which is awesome!!!!!

    I’d buy a franchise in California just to spread the love of cream cheese hahaha

    Actually, it’s not so weird. I got the idea for my recipe from Breaded Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers. I call it “Stuffed Jalapeno” Pizza. I’m from Colorado, I lived in the Springs for three years & yes, you are speaking to the inventor. 😂

    I’m back! It’s me again, the Colorado Springs guy who invented Cream Cheese pizza!!!! I had to share my newest culinary sensation soon to be sweeping the nation, for which, no doubt, I’ll get zero recognition for & some guy from the MidWest will make off with my recipe again & leave me holding an empty bag!

    What is it you ask? Great question; drum roll please … Meatball Pizza!!! Here’s the deal; I found a generic 30 oz Pepperoni Stuffed Crust Pizza. The problem is, I don’t really care for pepperoni pizza. I’m more the Traditional Italian Sausage. But trying to find that in a frozen model at your local grocery store frozen pizza isle anymore is a little like Snipe Hunting – good luck with that! At the same time, I can’t allow a $5 Stuffed Crust Pizza to slip through my fingers … what to do, what to do …

    Brain Storm: I had meatballs in the same grocery order!! So what if we pull the pepperoni for sub sandwiches, replaced them with meatballs cut it half, flat side down & wallah!! A Star Is Born!! Add Extra Mozzarella, Diced Jalapeño, Onion & Meatballs & You’ve got what I call The Colorado Springs Guy Meatball Pizza!!!! (I figure if that gets around, it should help to cut down on future acts of plagiarism). Bon Appétit!!!
