This is the best pizza! It really is like pizza you get in NYC. We order on the Slice app and it is always ready on time and hot! They also have a drive thru pick up window which makes it even easier when picking up pizza with a kid in tow. Try the Margherita or Lasagna pizzas!
Edit to update: still been going back for the protein shakes. If you sign up for their rewards Program you rack up points for Discounts. $1= 1 point. They have $10 ultra pitchers on thurs. And Wellness Wednesday with the $6 shakes. Still haven't tried the food. For some reason, this place is ALWAYS empty. Maybe they need better Marketing?Haven't had the food, only the protein shakes and they are soooo good! Wednesday are Wellness Wednesday so you get 2 bucks off and they are huge! Place looks really clean and staff Was very friendly explaining the options. Will definitely go back again for another shake and some pizza
Best meatball sandwich ever!!!
Your taste buds must be real different... Low quality meat and sauce. Tasted terrible. Took two bites and gave it to the dog. Rather starve than eat it. Deserts we're way too sweet, they hit the trash. Waste of $$$.
Absolutely loved the fact that we could just have some beers and try all the different pizzas by the slice. The pizza was absolutely amazing and I can not wait to go back and try more of the menu. Everything was so laid back and cozy!
I don’t know what I was thinking expecting the food to be decent. The food was absolutely terrible. Your “Rice Ball” also known as Supplì was most certainly not that. It’s not even hard to make and you FAILED in every aspect. You can’t even call this rice, it’s simply mush. Then your pizza margarita.. Your pizza was soggy, and had so much sauce it was sickening. I know this is the US and we’re clearly not in Italy, but good god, you could try a little harder. I definitely will not eat here again. And the people who eat here and think it’s good, are missing out because they don’t even know what it is to have good Supplì or Pizza Margarita.
This place rocks!! Probably the best slice i’ve ever had. Highly recommend the chicken bacon ranch. As they say in NY, forget about it!! Plus, the owners rock. Lots of history, lots of stories. Rick the local half owner is AWESOME, his other half Lou is a retired decorated Sgt on NYPD. Lou’s step daughter is an EMT who, like him, also served at ground zero. Awesome atmosphere, simple, but good lighting, NY decor, openness, TVs. A great visit, great staff, great food. If you visit Des Moines for a weekend or more & don’t come here, it’s your loss.
Love this place! My favorite is the neapolitan pizza with a crust that is the right combination of crispy and chewy and the toppings are always nicely balanced. Service has always been great and the dining area is always clean and super cute.
Really great pizza at a fair price for the huge slices you get. Our waitress was super friendly. Definitely worth a try if you've never been, fastly becoming one of my lunch favorites.

The quality and flavor of this place has decreased. We used to love it, now not so good.
food awesome and the way the staff was made me feel just like I did back in family own pizza places On Long Island in NY back in the day some employees were even dressed the same in clean white t-shirts just like the guys making pizza back on the island. truly is a taste off new york atmosphere and food alike. ?
This place is great! Good pizza, amazing staff. And they graciously accommodated my extended family, unannounced, late after a family funeral viewing when we all just needed some food and comfort. Big crowd, Maybe 40 of us, and no pressure to get out quick. I highly recommend, and if you all are reading this, my deepest thanks for the awesome service!
Love this place and the one in West Des Moines. First, the pizza. You gotta try the BBQ Chicken Pizza and the Lasagna Pizza. They need to sell that BBQ sauce because I would use it on the grill at home. Second, I have never been served by someone at either restaurant that hasn't been friendly. If you want a place where the food and the service is consistent, this is your place.
Went there on a friend's recommendation. Excellent pizza for a great price. Atmosphere was on point and the cheesecake was quality. If you want an authentic New York pizza experience in suburban Iowa, this is really the place to go.
