Fiestada pizza, a beloved Midwestern favorite, originated in the 1980s at Happy Joe's Pizza and Ice Cream Parlor in Iowa. This unique pizza features a crispy, taco-flavored crust topped with seasoned ground beef, a zesty tomato sauce, and a blend of melted cheeses. The dish quickly gained popularity for its bold flavors and innovative twist on traditional pizza. Today, the best fiestada pizzas can still be found at Happy Joe's locations across the Midwest.
