Loyal fans of this place have even gone so far as to take wedding photos in front of the general store, and if you’re familiar with the food, you understand why. So, who has the best gas station food in Illinois?

Casey's gas stations can be found in 16 states across the country. Often found in small towns and rural areas, the gas station also serves as a convenience store and is a favorite spot for takeout, especially among Illinoisians.

Casey's was first popular for its coffee, cappuccinos, and donut selections. Just like at a grocery store, the gas station has a plexiglass display full of tasty donut varieties, complete with boxes to take them home by the dozen.

However, the gas station chain has since become famous for its pizza. Available by the slice or the box, the delicious, doughy pizza is made fresh daily in the Casey's kitchen.
