50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Johnston

“Excellent! Great Food! Friendly Helpful Staff!“

“We took our grandkids here. We were impressed by the food and service. It’s a brewery but it’s not just fried bar food , though they do have great cheese curds and fries. The West coast salad was perfect: evenly chopped, tossed and dressed. Very flavorful too. The Italian melt was such a tasty sandwich in every bite. The mortadella is to die for. Service is fast and friendly. The kids love the arcade (especially the classic pinball) and bowling is fun. Burgers are decent and fires hot and crispy and perfectly seasoned. Oh and the beers are all excellent, including root and ginger.“

“Placed a large order before they opened Had special instructions for one of them. Everything was absolutely perfect It was ready exactly when they said it would be. the employee I spoke with on the phone was friendly and knowledgeable. I’m very impressed.“

“we had their pizza today it was very delicious and love the thin crust great job to kevin and his crew“

“Pepp's has become a favorite spot for my entire family. We have a weekly pizza night, and Pepp's pizza has never disappointed!“

“Incredible great tasting pies and amazing consistency. The flavors are intense and it's a refreshing change from the current pizza 🍕 industry! Life is way too short for cheap, unloved 🍕 so I definitely recommend Trumans“

“Ordered online- no contact delivery. Pizza came 20 minutes before the time quoted and was piping hot and delicious!“

“Beautiful atmosphere along with a wonderful group of employees. I remember eating there with family, absolutely peak.

They aren't just amazing to their customers though. As a dasher, they also went above and beyond for my order, and kept things professional and courteous.

If you're thinking about having a night out, I highly reccomend this location to anyone looking to eat good food along with some good vibes.“

“Nice people great pizza very clean“

“We recently moved to Ankeny & drive by every day. Parking lot is always full, so we finally made it in. Wow! So good! Sat outside and we had chicken deburgo, chicken Romano and a grinder. All amazing and the young man who was our server was spot on!! Will definitely be back!“

“I don't go out for pizza very often, so when I do I like to choose quality. My son and I had the lunch buffet yesterday and it was delicious. The owner and staff were friendly and respectful and responsive. There's a nice variety on the buffet and it was replenished often. Not only was the experience great, they also invest in the community including donating to the local library foundation. It's satisfying to support a local business. We will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“best gluten free pizza I've ever had!“

“Had the Tuscan Slice, which was a great combination of flavors and perfect crust! Great selection and quick! Will definitely be back.“

“My biggest problem with Northern lights is that they deliver it fast so it always arrives hot. It also never gives me indigestion so they must use good ingredients. This has made me addicted to their pizzas. In fact writing this review I suddenly want one. And it is 9:30am. Damn you Northern Lights!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Absolutely love the pizza I got. Have not tried banana cake , but you all are batting a 1000 so far. First time having your pizza. Will be having it again.“

“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❤️“

“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!!!“

“I have had great service and food. One time I didn’t get my bread sticks with garlic butter on them. The staff was very friendly and asked if I wanted them to make another order of bread sticks or give me credit for the next time I ordered from them.

Vegetarian options: Not sure how much there’s for vegetarian food.

Dietary restrictions: They do have gluten free items on the menu.

Parking: Northern Lights Pizza is located in a strip mall. There is plenty of parking, some farther away from the door than others.

Kid-friendliness: This particular Northern Lights has a small lobby to order and pick up carry out.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have handicapped access in a couple places by this store.“

“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!“

“We always LOVE the calzones!

But owner and staff went above and beyond a few weeks ago. I had arrived to location and they were closing early, so couldn’t get pizzas. I had a baby with me, and sat in parking lot trying to search for next place. Staff came out and insisted to take order… then GIFTED me our entire order!! ❤️ Wow. So very sweet! We will forever support Rosattis! Amazing staff and ownership! Thank you!!“

“Elegant design, wonderful wood-fired pizza, great service, who could ask for more?“

“friendly staff and good pizza“

“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.“

“Kid-friendliness: The staff is incredibly helpful with answering questions and helping parents with detailing importance of nutrition to our picky eaters. Even if our kiddos are more on the wild side the staff are very understanding that kids can be squirrelly.“

“We love Portofinos!!! The salmon dishes are my favorites!!! Great soups and yummy bread!!! We're close, so we walk there often!!!“

“We are fully staff. Stop by for a fast and friendly service. See you soon. Thank you Rios General Manager“

“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.“

“Unique, delicious meals served by friendly faces. Highly recommend!“

“First I feel like I have to say there is no where to park and the wait is long even on a Wednesday night. Inside is dark and loud and cramped. My ham and bean soup was very good! Stuffed mushroom appetizer was ok but not worth the $10.50 price. My steak was ok-I’ve had way better. Waitress said I should ask for it well done since the cook usually undercooked the steak and it turned out more done than I would have liked it but the waitress never came over to ask… The asparagus had that woody flavor. Potatoes were good. My bf let me try his onion rings and meatball sandwich and both were very good! Cake tasted old… the staff is very nice but looked a little overwhelmed.“

“Amazing Happy Hour today for my Nephew's Birthday! Incredible food all on the $5 menu!! Can't rave enough about the food and service!! We will definitely be back!“

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

“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.“

“Oh man the staff were excellent, the gal took my order and it was perfectly cooked and ready on time to pick up my pizza . The pizza was very tasty from the first to the last bite . Plus the gal gave me a coupon for $3 off of large on the night I ordered . So I was really impressed with the service that help with keeping some cash . Thank you Godfathers I will be a return customer in this establishment for hopefully many years to come .“

“We went through the drive up window, and Shelby took such good care of us. Very kind and courteous. The most pleasant drive thru experience I have had in a very long time.“

“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.“

“Everything here is so good!!“

“Tasted awesome 😎 Delivery was great and the driver was really nice.“

“REALLY DOMINOS?!?! The wings were super small and DRIZZLED with buffalo sauce.“

“I agree with my wife. Every time we are in town this is our go to place to eat. Friendly staff and professional management!!“

“The service was amazing. The place was clean and decorated so cool. Options to buy by the slice or order off the menu. Outside and inside seating. We had the Chinese moz sticks and the loaded potato pizza and both were SO fire! If we ever come back to town we will definitely be back!“

“Good fast service on 11-5-23. Great food. Molly was very friendly and polite ,also attractive. Will definitely be back“

“I didn't catch his name, but the employee who was working the overnight late shift at this location between 8/2-8/3 deserves recognition for excellent customer service. He went above & beyond to accommodate us & was very friendly! Give that man a raise!“

“Lots of fun for the family!“

“Blaze Pizza in West Des Moines is a true gem for pizza lovers! The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between modern and cozy, ideal for any dining occasion.

The staff are notably friendly and helpful, enhancing the overall experience. It's not just a meal, it's a delightful culinary adventure - highly recommended for anyone seeking top-notch pizza in a welcoming setting.“
