  I was really blown away by the pizza here. We ordered a taco pizza and it was probably one of the better I've had. The thin crust was perfect and the toppings were just right.
  The only thing keeping this from a 5 star is that they didn't have a wider selection of beers. I would like to see at least some Fat Tire or a few Sam Adams in the cooler. Micki provided very fast and friendly service, the kind of charm you can only get in small midwest towns!

  We had come up from Kansas City to spend a day touring the watering holes of towns in south-central Iowa.   Milo was always going to be a last-minute decision. We were on a schedule, and Milo was about thirty minutes out of our way. But we ended up making good time and decided to go for it. I'm glad we did!
  
  The Main Street Station has multiple rooms, all in one big line. There were pool tables throughout. The bar itself is fairly small, and to the left is a kitchen.
  
  After we got our beers we met the owners, Serena and Jeff. Our bartender's name was Cindy. Jeff was busy working the pizza oven, while Serena and Cindy were making umbrellas in preparation for a luau.
  
  The main feature of the menu is wood-fired pizza, using a pizza oven imported from Italy. Pizza was indeed part of our plan for the evening. They very nearly talked us into it, but we had already committed to another place later in the evening for our pizza fix.
  
  So, instead, the bartender bought us Jell-o "shots". And I use the term "shots" likely, because these suckers were H-U-G-E! Almost a meal in and of themselves. :) They had to be chewed up and eaten in several bites.
  
  There had been a wedding reception underway across the street, and a couple of people from there came over to the Main Street Station about the time we were working on our Jell-o. We got to talking with them and when they heard of our barhopping adventures they bought us another round. Thanks!!! :)
  
  With both the detour, the Jell-o, and the extra round, this detour ended up taking us from an hour ahead of schedule to an hour behind schedule. But it was well worth it, this is where we had the most fun all day! Funny how the places that are the most out-of-the-way end up being the best.
