“Gave it a try and have been back every Friday since! Great food and good service, you can’t ask for more than that!“

“The owner is so kind. I ordered via Door Dash delivery & she called me to let me know that nobody picked up my order. When I went & picked it up she was even kind enough to cancel my DD so that I wouldn't get double charged. My pizza was very delicious“

“I don't have any recommendations for improvement.
I've ordered from the Grimes, IA location several times since they opened, and they are GREAT.
I used to use the Urbandale location and they were great as well.
Nicely done to all of you!“

“We tried the new location in Pleasant Hill & it was delicious!!! Kim - our server - did a great job!!! We will absolutely be back! We had the more vodka (please!), supreme & pepperoni/sausage & pineapple! All great!“

“Stopped in tonight for salad and pizza. Never disappointed in this place. I have to take a minute to rave about the margarita pizza. It is one of the best i have had in Iowa. The strong basil flavor paired with a fresh tomato flavored sauce……plus that crust has depth in flavor making it a great vehicle for all the topping. The Ivy pizza was delicious as well but definitely don’t miss out on trying the margarita.

I’ll also add the service is always top notch. I don’t think i have had a bad experience since i been coming here.“

“Came in on a Saturday for a softball break. They only had ONE worker named Devina. Well she ended up being AWESOME. She tended our table of 12 and worked her butt. Luckily she had some kind gentlemen customers that jumped behind the bar and helped her out. She made us some of the best bar pizza I’ve ever had. Was a very pleasant surprised. I would highly recommend getting her some help before you lose her!!!“

“Absolutely love it. Outstanding pizza. First time having your pizza. Will be having it every time I pass through the area. Thank you for turning out quality food.“

“Cosi Cucina is an absolute family favorite. We enjoy the attention to detail that goes along with our dining experience. We love the atmosphere, delicious food, amazing drinks, very attentive wait staff and we always feel like family. Peter and his staff go above and beyond to make sure everyone’s experience is top notch. The menu has everything from appetizers, salads, pastas dishes, protein packed entrees, pizzas, calzones and a fantastic dessert menu! Thank you Cosi for allowing us to make the very best memories with our family and friends❤️“

“Last week was my 1st time here, but the staff treated me like an old friend. & the pizza was amaaazing. While waiting for my food, there was a little girl who was dancing & fell (she was alright). The staff were very kind to her & even gave her a big cookie to have for dessert!“

“Simon’s in Des Moines is absolutely incredible. The food was beyond amazing — every bite was flavorful and perfectly prepared. The service was outstanding, even though they were busy. What really stood out was the personal greeting from Simon himself. That level of care says so much about how much he values his guests. The atmosphere was welcoming and energetic, and I truly felt appreciated the entire time. Highly recommend!“

“Great for large groups but call ahead. One of my Go-To pizza joints. This has been a family favorite for years. The pizza is always top notch. For a taste of Des Moines to someone new to the area it's definitely worth it. Try the Taco pizza.“

“I grew up eating The Other Place Pizza at one of the older locations, in Evansdale. I think OP Pizza is the very top of the line of Pizzas, and consider it the gold standard for how a pizza should be. Sure, I like other pies, but OP can’t be beat. Often though, lately, with my high standard, naturally I am disappointed at different Other Place locations if they don’t get it quite right. A little undercooked or over, not enough sauce, served a little too cold, crust not as thick…. Been a while since I’ve had the perfect OP Pizza. Well, today at lunch we went to the Clive location for the first time and ordered at 14” with pepperoni, Canadian bacon, black olives and mushrooms… and it was absolutely PERFECT! They knocked it out of the park! Crust perfect, sauce amount perfect, cooked to perfection, of course the toppings are always top notch. You know it’s good when you’re full and you just want to keep eating. Great job ladies and gentlemen at the Clive location. You made this 40 year old OP Pizza lover very happy today. Lord Bless.“

“Papa Murphy's has always been one of the best pizza chains there is, and there's nothing more convenient than picking up a pizza after work to throw in the oven while I shower, all ready and hot when I'm refreshed and clean. The taste is unmatched as well, and in a class of its own for chain pizza. The stores are never super pretty, but that isn't the point. The point is the pizza, and it is wonderful. I would happily recommend Pappa Murphy's!

Parking: The strip mall parking lot is very small and shared with other businesses. I would not attempt to visit the store during super busy hours, but otherwise it works.“

“This is simply the best pizza i have had since i moved from New York. Simply brilliant. Joy gave my wife and me canoli and they were brilliant. Just fantastic.“

“Large catered pizza order arrived hot & fresh, a couple minutes early and was enjoyed by all! Thank you!“

“BEST pizza and wings I have ever had and that alone says enough! The cheese topper pizza is to die for and the wings are beyond amazing. Everytime I promise myself to take a picture I eat over half before i even remember. I can't believe I went this long without knowing this place was this AMAZING! It's worth every dollar EVERY time!“

“Lots of fun for the family!“

“Everything here is so good!!“

“Tony and the staff are top notch, they are friendly and provide great customer service. I have a child with dairy allergies, and they are very careful to ensure there’s no cross contamination during the process, they change their gloves, etc…it’s a pleasure coming here!“

“I live about five minutes away from this Casey’s used to go to Kum and Go for the longest time because it was close then this Casey’s was opened. Now it’s the only convenience store I go to. Stephen and Ella up front always leave me with a smile on my face. When I order from the kitchen Jordan and Brayden always have my pizza ready in a timely matter. For a convenience store the customer service & food are phenomenal thank you Casey’s!!“

“One of the only spots all of kids and all of the adults in our family agree on. It’s kid friendly, tons of menu options, food is consistently great, service is friendly.“

“So far I’ve only had the sugar cookies and I’m in love. I guess that’s why they are called Love Drops 😍😂 Great customer service as well! 10/10 would recommend 👍🏼👍🏼“

“My recent culinary expedition to Papa Murphy's Take 'N' Bake Pizza was nothing short of an epicurean delight. The establishment’s dedication to gastronomic excellence is palpably evident in every meticulously prepared offering. The preeminent quality of ingredients and the artistry involved in the assemblage of the pizzas culminate in a transcendental dining experience that is both sumptuous and gratifying.The staff's unparalleled professionalism and unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction further enhanced the convivial ambiance. The ease and convenience of the take-and-bake concept, coupled with the ability to customize each pizza to an exacting degree, renders this pizzeria an unparalleled bastion of culinary ingenuity.

“My second time here - great ambiance, service, good, & drinks. I’ve purchased items at the connected market each time. Very handy.“

“Unbelievable service and food! I came here for the first time on 01/16/26, and was greeted right away by Ashanti, and ordered a beer while waiting for my pizza to get done (I ordered right when I entered the restaurant, FYI). It was a very pleasant atmosphere, and some of the best service I have ever experienced in a pizza place (or any restaurant for that matter). Ashanti was fabulous and attentive (since I ordered a few beers while waiting). She also made sure that my pizza was done to my liking before I paid. The cook, Eunice, also came out and wondered how I liked the food. When tasting, it was out of this world. I would say that its the best pizza in central Iowa (seriously!). Because of the service from Eunice and Ashanti, I promise to return to this location very soon! I will also spread the word with my other Italian friends about this hidden treasure in Waukee! Thank you Scornovacca's, Ashanti and Eunice! What an experience. :)“

“I decided to pick up a pizza last night. I didn't order online, I hate that. Call me old school, I'm fine with that.
I was @ the Clive location next to UPS
I ordered with the young man up front. Decided to wait the 15-20 minutes inside. It was entertaining to say the least. I could see and hear the team of employees in the fast paced process of making my pizza. They were smiling. They were laughing. They were goofy and funny.
It was great to see these 12 or more young men truly enjoying the moment.
Applause!!! P.S the pizza was great too!“

“Quick and fast!! There is definitely nothing healthy about the food, but it fits the bill when you feel like you don't care about getting fat. Anyways, I did a pick-up and I could not believe that there was no air-conditioning so my heart goes out to all the workers there!!!“

“Came on Wednesday so it was not too busy (about half full). Great service (prompt, polite, knowledgeable). We shared the large beet salad and Hugo's pizza. All was fresh and excellent. Bonus was 1/2 price wine so we had to get a bottle. We will be back to try another pizza or entree and enjoy this neighborhood gem!“
