You know those lists that are like "THIS little shack out in the middle of nowhere has THE BEST PIZZA"? I always fall for them. That's how Shade Creek Diner & Carryout made its way on my radar. Located in Creston, this small shop is not on the way to anywhere. So, I made a special day trip to check it out. The inside could be mistaken for a handyman's shop, with odds & ends all over the place. Plus some candy bars & chips for purchase. They primarily offer burgers, subs & pizza - including my favorite option: personal size. I ordered a cheese Candace-sized pizza and waited maybe 20 minutes or so before it was ready. It was truly made to order, which I appreciated. The personal size was a perfect portion to enjoy on my way back home. It had a puffy crust, so not for thin-crust lovers. It had a mild sauce and plenty of cheese. I will say it was a decent pizza, though not necessarily memorable. It is kinda like a homestyle, grandma-style that is common in small hometown spots. It's comforting and was piping hot. But not quite as exciting as I'd like. Grade: B
