50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Norwalk

“We were staying in down town Des Moines and made the drive to Norwalk to Pyra. Well worth the drive“

“I placed my order online for an in store pick up one evening and when I went to map my directions I saw they were actually closing in 3 minutes. I called to cancel my order and apologize not realizing what time it was. The employee who answered the phone said they take orders up to the time of close and they would be happy to complete my order. I completely expected them to cancel my pizzas happily but they were on it! Not only did they complete my order but the pizza was fantastic.
Thank you for feeding my very pregnant unaware of time self and husband. We really appreciate you guys!“

“Love Truman’s! They hosted us last night for my birthday celebration and they did not disappoint. They never do! The food alone is delicious, their menu has something for everyone, plus some unique pizzas that I have tried to replicate. (Theirs was better 😉) Their service is always great too. Friendly staff, always helpful, and the dude who hosted our party of 26 last night was awesome and made sure we all had a great experience and had what we needed throughout our time there. Thanks for helping make my celebration so special Truman’s! I’ll be back soon!“

“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 heard many good things about their Pie…we were in town & decided to stop…we ordered a 1/2 & 1/2 & both choices were excellent…our waitress as well was very friendly & never missed a beat…we will definitely be a return customer!…“

“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!!!“

“The food was amazing, we had pepperoni pizza. The service was stellar. Just not a ton of places to sit, mostly carryout. Lobby was clean. There were a few bar type seats, up against the wall, we just didn't know that before we went. But that didn't stop us, we will 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.“

“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❤️“

“I’ve worked with Evan and his staff the last couple years to get pizza for Centennial boys’ tennis team meals. They have been amazing to work with and very accommodating, even with weather related changes to the scheduled meals. The pizza has been delicious and the boys love it. The 26 inch pizzas are awesome for feeding large groups. I would highly recommend Dough Co in Ankeny!“

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

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

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

“On December 20th, 2025, at 6:58pm, I ordered a large hawiaan pizza and two orders of breadsticks for delivery. I was told 1 to 1 and a half hours at 1 hour 50 minutes I called to find out where our food was. I was told that they tried to deliver our food but were unable to deliver our order but they could not do so. I then asked why it was unable to be delivered and "the manager" stated that they tried to call me, no one ever did call me and I can prove it. The "manager" could not provide a reason the order was undeliverable. I then told them that my husband would be coming to pick it up and that they needed to make it right by refunding part of our order NOT all just part of it for the inconvience (not being nasty at all). The "manager" stated "I am canceling your order. Go somewhere else." When asked why he said "You are being rude." I told him he had poor customer service skills and hung up. My husband and I ended up going to the Altoona Northern lights and they went above and beyond for us. I will always go to the Altoona store over Hubbell. I highly recommend that you do not go to this store unless you want to be treated like crap.“

“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!“

“Simon's is a charming and welcoming American restaurant that delivers a comfortable dining experience built around quality food, friendly service, and a relaxed neighborhood atmosphere. From the moment you enter the restaurant, there is a strong sense of warmth and familiarity that makes guests feel immediately comfortable. The restaurant successfully captures the spirit of a classic American dining establishment while still maintaining its own local personality and character.

One of the strongest aspects of Simon’s is the quality and consistency of the food. The menu offers a solid variety of American favorites, including burgers, sandwiches, steaks, comfort-food classics, appetizers, and hearty meal options that appeal to a wide range of customers. Rather than trying to be overly trendy or complicated, the restaurant focuses on preparing familiar dishes well, and that approach works extremely effectively.

The burgers are especially impressive and stand out as one of the highlights of the menu. The meat tastes fresh and flavorful, the portions are generous, and the ingredients are balanced well to create satisfying meals without feeling overly heavy. The buns are fresh, toppings are crisp, and the overall presentation reflects attention to detail from the kitchen staff. The restaurant clearly understands the importance of quality ingredients and proper preparation when it comes to classic American comfort food.

Another standout feature is the restaurant’s sandwiches and entrée selections. Whether ordering grilled items, comfort-food specialties, or lighter menu options, the meals arrive flavorful, fresh, and carefully prepared. Portion sizes are excellent and provide strong value, ensuring guests leave feeling fully satisfied. The sides, including fries, salads, and other traditional accompaniments, also complement the meals well and contribute positively to the overall experience.

The atmosphere at Simon’s is another major reason why the restaurant stands out. The environment feels casual, relaxed, and genuinely welcoming, making it suitable for many different occasions. Whether visiting for a family dinner, casual lunch, gathering with friends, or even a solo meal, the restaurant creates a comfortable setting where customers can enjoy themselves without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. The interior has a clean and approachable style that feels authentic rather than overly commercialized.

Customer service is also one of the restaurant’s strongest qualities. The staff are friendly, attentive, and professional, helping create a dining experience that feels personal and enjoyable. Employees interact with customers warmly and appear genuinely interested in providing good hospitality rather than simply completing transactions. That positive attitude adds significant value to the overall atmosphere and helps build customer loyalty.

One thing that makes Simon’s especially appealing is its consistency. Many restaurants may impress customers once, but maintaining reliable food quality and service over time is much more difficult. Simon’s appears committed to delivering a dependable experience where customers know they can expect good food, welcoming service, and a comfortable atmosphere every time they visit.

The pricing also feels fair considering the quality of the food and portion sizes being offered. Meals are satisfying, well-prepared, and reasonably priced, which makes the restaurant accessible for regular visits rather than only special occasions. In today’s restaurant market, where prices often increase while quality declines, Simon’s succeeds in maintaining a strong balance between value and quality.“

“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.“

“Food was great and the staff were very polite. The place was busy and it seemed like they needed to have one more person working at that time. The Parmesan cheese was empty and the staff didn't have time to refill it. I don't know if they were busier than usual because it was Valentine's Day or if someone called in sick, but the people who were working were busting their butts! We were really glad to find a Godfather's Pizza relatively close since the one in our neighborhood closed a few years back. We will definitely go again.“

“Everything here is so good!!“

“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 👍🏼👍🏼“

“I REALLY LIKE WINN'S. HAVE BEEN GETTING FOOD FROM THERE FOR YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE. GREAT PEOPLE TO BE ASSOCAITED WITH. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU AT WINN,S“

“Lots of fun for the family!“

“This might be the greatest place I’ve ever been. I’m not kidding….“

“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!“

“DEAR PAPA , Please stop putting ranch cups in your HOT pizza boxes on deliveries . Nobody likes warm spoiled at this point spicy ranch 🥹🥵🌶️ Ps: please read - BEST REFRIGERATED. Thank you kindly.“

“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.“

“Good friendly service,very clean atmosphere and food is delicious 😋❤️“

“this is a fantastic place!!! food is incredible, atmosphere is awsome, and the owner is top notch. if it is a large group of a date this is the place to go“

“first time there. I spent New Year’s eve night there. Fantastic food great drinks great service great people. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I think jay is his name. Great bartender. All I know is if you haven’t gone…you’re missing out!“

“I started with the meatball appetizer, which was scrumptious. Then I moved on to the Hawkeye pizza. Not because I'm a fan of the Hawkeyes, but because this was the only pizza on the menu resembling a meat-lovers pizza. It had graziano sausage, pepperoni, and one or two other meats. It's not the greatest pizza in the world, but it's certainly a good pie. Their pizza is unique in that it has noticeably more cheese than I've had at any other place without asking for extra cheese. If you're someone who likes a really cheesy pizza, this might be the place for you. The place itself is nice, but I noticed a few things that made me believe it might not be long for this world. First, there weren't many people there and only one server was working that night. Granted, it was a weekday and I only have one instance to go by, but there it is. Secondly, the menu had the hours of operation printed at the top, but they were scribbled out with a pen and reduced considerably. Next, the location isn't easy to find. You're not just going to stumble upon it or find it without a deliberate search. Lastly, there's a larger, more visible, Grimaldi's Pizza place only a stone's throw away. In conclusion, I liked it and wouldn't have any qualms about eating there again if someone I knew wanted to, but I'll likely go to someplace that serves great pizza as opposed to merely a good one. Keep fighting the good fight Coach's Pizza.“

“Hunt Brothers Pizza is a great pizza for anybody searching for really good tasting food the employees are always very respectful their Pizza is also never undercooked or overcooked it is always just right with a perfect amount of toppings“

“This is a good experience overall for bulk flour delivery. It does take a bit longer than preferred to get authorized for delivery, however, the fast unload time makes up for it. My favorite thing is one usually overlooked, and that is access to a outhouse; now running water would be better, but I'll take it and be happy.“

“Wish I remembered the guys name that took our orders because he was Awesome 😎 When you ask for extra ranch and they know the love for ranch 😆 Our food got here fast and it was hot and delicious 😋 🤤 Ordered the Chicken bacon parmesan melts“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Fantastic place for lunch or dinner. Great food at reasonable prices. Always good specials as well.“
