“Just went out and bowled 6 games with my wife. Nice and quiet. Call ahead to assure a lane is available. They also have a website too. We spent 50.00 with shoe rental.Not to bad. Water is very overpriced. We split one and my wife picked it up.“
“I originally had a short and sweet review here and just could not leave that. Here is how I really felt instead. In the area almost exactly a year, have taking in all the restaurants and this is my first review. Portofino’s- Seated immediately, great atmosphere. Free/fresh garlic bread, honestly I could have eaten just that and brought 4 more home! Fresh, hot, still steaming to our table food! Chicken and Shrimp Milanese-with so much to bring home easily one more meal. Kids baked zeti with meatballs, easily 2 portions for a younger kid, maybe another half portion came home for my 7 year old. Cannoli-AMAZING. Finally 2 fountain drinks. All for only $40.02 Everything was excellent! Some of the best food we have had! ”The world’s best cannoli and meatballs” from a 7 year old little girl. Personal observations and highlights for me if you made it this far! (I have many family members in the restaurant business even owning high end restaurants in Denver). Although they were assigned specific tables, I have never been to a restaurant where every server acknowledges every table and adresses a need as they walk by. Servers seating new guest, filling drinks of other tables, clearing other tables, the list goes on and on! All working together, I did not see many tasks being completed alone. I didn’t not get a drink from the bar but I noticed the bar tender did not just fill the order and let it sit for the server. He personally took the drinks to the table if he noticed the server was busy(also I assume there may have been servers under 21 honestly). The service I witnessed tonight really showed a family, locally owned business with great leadership. Clearly employees who are well cared for and love their job. Loved that it was packed but I did not hear the table to either side of me very much. My daughter and I had a conversation and played a game while waiting for food just fine. Enjoyed that there were babies to elderly all seated in the same area around the restaurant. Let’s be honest most places seat all the families together away from couples, ect. This did not appear to be the case here. Big groups to a single person all treated with the same excellent service. Definitely family friendly or a place for a nice date night! We will be back A LOT! Pizza is next! That was the plan for tonight but that quickly changed when we looked at the menu. Looking forward to the many years this family restaurant will be feeding my family and many others! A true dining experience!“
“This bar is lost in time. I mean this in the most fantastic way. Jukebox by the pool table couple pinball games and amazing bar food. Like classic bar food, not the new age, frozen pizza, and hamburger patties bar food good Ole classic real made bar food.“
“Wait staff was outstanding with little wait time on a very busy night. The pizza was cooked perfectly with good onion rings as a side.The very best part was cold pizza the next day as it took me back to my partying days in the 70s. Wonderful cold!!!“
“Came here with a buddy to grab a quick dinner. We were seated right away, towards the back of the restaurant. This part of the restaurant was a little loud, where we had to definitely raise our voices to be heard. It wasn't terrible but much louder than I expected it to be inside a restaurant.Everything else was very positive, the drinks were good and came quick. The food was delicious and plentiful. The service was not amazing but definitely good. Would come back again, maybe especially in the summer to try the huge patio.“
“Atmosphere is great, went to there one year anniversary the other night and was great. Tried the wings with the striking sparrow sauce and did not disappoint, wings came out crispy and perfect, plus the patio is good and good for a summer hangout with outside games.“
“We can't recommend Leaning Tower of Pizza enough. We asked them to cater our wedding rehearsal dinner and they delivered SO many pizzas hot and fresh and all of our guests loved them all! They typically only deliver for large catering orders like our rehearsal dinner but we asked if there was any chance they would deliver the next day as well so we could have a "pizza cutting" instead of a cake cutting at our wedding reception. They waived their catering minimum since we ordered so many the night before and delivered one small cheese pizza for us to have ready as we entered our reception. AND they gave us a wedding card and a gift! We asked them for a favor to make our wedding special and they went above and beyond.“
“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 haven't been here since pre Covid & with a different name! Nice updates & absolutely wonderful service. Waitress was so attentive & engaging. Nice booths & a few tables in the front, with a room with big tables at the back. We started with a medium order of onion rings & they were fine. They're a bit different so that was fun to try. Four sizes of rings offered & medium was perfect. They came quickly! Our medium 1/2 sausage 1/2 pepperoni pizza was tasty. It, too, was the perfect size, with a couple of pieces leftover. It's a fine pizza place & we noted several takeouts.“
“The lobby was clean and the guy who took our order was super friendly.He looked like he was busting his butt running the front and the lobby.The food was awesome and the mozzarella balls are probably a new weakness for me.Kid-friendliness: I loved their coloring table to have kids color and decorate the lobby. Very cute idea and it kept my daughter busy while she wasn't eating.“
“I have been wanting to try Sonny's Bistro for a while now and we finally went. The service and food was absolutely great and I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great place to eat with a nice Italian atmosphere. Our party of 6 loved every meal that was served especially the pizza.“
“Food was hot fresh and ready for pick up , was greeted with a smile and verified my order by showing me the contents in there containers . The store look clean and maintained inside and out .Parking: Easy access , well lighted , can be noticed from the street .“
“Pizza is really good but be warned, do NOT try to use the online ordering system! It doesn't work right with the 1st half / 2nd half pizza toppings. Just call in your order instead and everything should be fine. Staff was kind enough to remake my order correctly so it all worked out.“
“It was another amazing meal at Uptown Food and Beverage!!! Dennis Gibson and his crew are awesome. we had the best onion rings ever. Perfectly cooked and delicious. I had the walleye dinner. it was one of the best cooked filets I have ever eaten. We also had pizza with was amazing as always. this place never disappoints!!!“
“Small hole in the wall restaurant. At first look, you wouldn't think anything of it. Upon walking in, it's a smaller space but welcoming. And the bar tender was very prompt and helpful with ordering. They said 25 minutes for our large Crab Rangoon Pizza and cheesecake egg rolls. We walked around the neighborhood and returned 25 minutes later to our food coming right out the kitchen. Too bad this place is in Des Moines, we are from DFW and would love to eat here again.The pizza was just as good cold as it was hot.“
“If I ever want Chicago, deep dish, style pizza I go here. The cheese bread and other apps are also delicious while you want for the pizza. For the cost what your getting I would even say it's only mid and not high tier cost as well. All around server could be a tad more attentive and a "want to be there" but that's just a nit picky thing. Overall very good place to go and could of just been a bad night for her to be fair. Been here 3 times now and food always fantastic. Calzones also real good.Kid-friendliness: We had our 2 year old with us and there were 0 problems.“
“We had the delicious onion rings, breaded mushrooms, and bread sticks as appetizers. We had had cavatelli, lasagna and chicken parmesan and fetticini. All the food was very good. Also purchased a package of the homemade WANDA'S for our dessert. Really enjoyed everything and the atmoshere.Kid-friendliness: Everyone seemed to be welcome here. There were a lot of families out enjoying themselves.“
“My husband and I had a fabulous dinner at Noah's tonight! We split the anti-pasto for two for our appetizer. I had the fried shrimp, baked potato, and dinner salad. My husband had the ravioli and dinner salad. For dessert we split a cannoli which the kitchen baked for us. It was soo good! Everything was perfectly prepared. Our server Denny was so nice and kept our food coming at the right time. If you haven't tried Noah's Ark, you should!“
“We got Bamie's Jackson Street Pizza to go. It had a lot to recommend it! It was almost perfect. I loved the thin, crispy, cracker-like bottom crust layer with a lovely chewy layer just above it. There were tons of cheese, sausage, and mushrooms that were all very tasty. My only complaint was there was very little sauce. With more sauce, it would have been awesome!“
“My first time purchase from Papa Murphy's and I was very impressed with the fresh toppings, meat, and delicious cheese. The price was fair for the pizza size and all the toppings. The employees were friendly, respectful, and efficient. The atmosphere was pleasant and the store was very clean. It's not fancy nor expected to be, therefore I gave it a 4 of 5.“
“A friend introduced me to South Union years ago and I was delighted by the quality of the food and the experience. The ingredients are fresh and the bread is awesome.The cafe is only open for lunch so it is way more convenient to eat here if you work downtown.Parking is either metered on the street or other paid parking.The atmosphere is interesting since the building is so old. It can get a little loud when they get busy.You do need to enter through the temple entrance instead of the street now. This is so the line to order can remain inside.Sandwiches are made to order and may take a while to make. They call the number on your receipt when it is ready.Coke is the fountain drink available.“
“It was a beautiful Tuesday evening and we wanted to go for a short drive. After looking at a few options, we saw the pictures of Johnny and Mike's Pizza and thought we would stop by if it looked like a good place to hang out once we got there. Not to worry, the pizza place is inside of a nice sports bar right across from the Carlisle sports complex. They had one topping pizzas on sale for $10 which is a screaming good deal and also a good excuse to have a beer or two and a great evening. The pizza was a great example of Des Moines classic style, thin crust, very crispy, great sauce, and plenty of toppings. We bought an extra to take home for others. In addition to the single topping pizzas, we tried a specialty "Timmy's" with grinder, sausage, capicola and roasted peppers. The onion rings were thin, hot and crispy. The parm dressing was spot on. We'll be back.“
“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!“
“Me and my daughter had a beautiful day we went on a scavenger hunt and I let her know that the prize would be us going out for pizza I really enjoy Northern lights Pizza and also the breadsticks I'm happy that Northern lights was part of the fantastic day we both shared thank youVegetarian options: I enjoyed the pizza with green peppers banana peppers and mushrooms it'd be even more excellent if there was some vegan chorizo or some plant-based beef the overall I love the pizza“
“4.0* (out of 5) Food: 4* Atmosphere: 3* Value: 5* Service: 4* 08/06/2023 This place's Italian Beef was highly recommended by a reviewer on another site and finally got the chance to try it today. This is definitely a neighborhood bar - as several other patrons / regulars asked us how we liked our drinks and dinners. Granted, the area looks a little on the rough side as you pull up but the service and food were both great - all handled by one lady behind the bar. On the recommendation of another patron, we started out with Bloody Marys with pickle vodka and I highly recommend them - not too salty or thick. For our meals, my wife ordered the Italian Beef (see picture) and I went with the Chicago Dog (see picture). As always, we each shared tastes and found both dishes to be very good. Our neighbors ordered the Italian Beef with Cheese (see picture) and Chili Dog (see picture) - and both of them thought they tasted great, commenting especially about how good the chili was.

“Always great food here! Fast service for food too. Was busy for a weekday. Got the spicy cheese curds and a burger. Clean and good atmosphere. Only downside was our bartender. Sat at the bar and he acted like he didn't want to be there. Was annoyed when we weren't ready to order as soon as my friend arrived. Felt like he just avoided us honestly. Another food runner made our 2nd drink happily. Other than that, great place!“
“Ordered the "Everything Potato" off the SECRET MENU. Was the best potato I have ever had, compliments to the head chef ;)You should ask for it with the phrase, "Can I have the everything potato just like King Julian like it."Parking: Parking lot is a 10/10. I shoveled it everyday before I clocked in just to make sure I didn't get paid for it :)“
“While on a recent trip to Des Moines I found myself getting a serious case of the munchies and only an ooey, gooey pizza would work. I ran across Scornovacca's on Uber Eats so did what anybody else would do and went to Yelp to check out the reviews. I was a little disappointed that it only had 3.5 stars so I decided to read the reviews. For the most part people were thrilled with their pizza. It was the complainers who brought down what should be a much higher rating!! I can only imagine how good this pizza would have been in the restaurant because it was amazing at my hotel. We got one with all the meats and had some fresh mozzarella added for good measure. Delicious!!!“
“Paul reveres is my favorite! I can't say enough good things about Paul reveres pizza! They have the best pizza and breadsticks I've ever had! The staff is wonderful and friendly! They treat customers with respect and make their food fresh and to perfection every time! I wish Paul reveres nothing but much success!! I can't understand why their aren't multiple locations every where! Paul reveres deserves an award for the best pizza and best service!!!! This place seems to be undervalued for having only one location. Paul reveres is definitely one of those hidden gems of the BEST pizza around!!!! I wish some investors would find this place and help Paul reveres grow!! Paul reveres is definitely worth the investment!! I can't even put into words how amazing and delicious their pizza and breadsticks are!! You definitely have to try it for yourself! Its not like any other pizza restaurant! It's truly the BEST! If your traveling through town and your wanting pizza... this is definitely the perfect spot to stop! The food is fair priced and worth every penny! You will definitely come back for more!! Even at their busiest times they still are 5 star for their food and service!! Thank you Paul reveres for all you do and serving the community!“
“Their pizza is Great and the employees are Awesome….The customer service was amazing….Good JobI got another one today and it Rocked and the delivery driver was a lot of fun…She is incredible….Parking: There was a lot of spots to park at….“
“Food was as expected. The internet was down or something so they were having a little trouble getting orders in.. Not sure why but i had cash so wasn't too bad. Normal 5-7 minute wait..Parking: Parking is usually open right in front of the store whenever I go there...“
“We stopped by after the lunch rush on a weekday, so it was pretty dead. Everything was pretty good. Food was tasty and served quickly and with a friendly smile. The atmosphere was quiet but relaxed. The prices weren’t outrageous. Solid 4/5“
“I'd honestly say the fried chicken at pizza ranch is their best item, the pizzas are really tasty and have a great selection when dining in for the buffet option, but that fried chicken is absolutely divine. Every time I'm in Ankeny from the UK I always make sure I get some of that fried chicken. All in all a good atmosphere, plenty for the kids to do while you have your fill of the buffet. The cactus bread is also a must try item ? the selection of buffet items is always nice. With items ranging from mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy to a more traditional salad bar and you're never short of pizza as they refill the buffet trolley every time it gets anywhere near low. Also you have to love a restaurant that has a robot called Buster who wanders around for you to deposit your dishes. Would definitely recommend Pizza Ranch to anyone who hasn't tried them.Parking: Plenty of parking. Never had a single instance of not being able to park.Kid-friendliness: Lots of things to do for the kids here, an arcade centre with plenty of toys that can be won should help keep your little ones entertained while you fill up on all that chicken and pizza ?“
“Chuck's is a neighborhood institution with decent American/Italian food served in a welcoming and homely atmosphere. If you're a pretentious suburbanite, you won't like it, sorry. Stick with one of those chain restaurants near your subdivision.“
“Absolutely DELICIOUS!! We normally are not in DSM during work week, however with spring break today we went to walk skywalks and decided to check it out. My fiancé had a piece of pizza and I had a bite of the crust…and ended up eating his leftovers as the crust was PERFECT! I couldn’t stop thinking about the Alfredo Mac and cheese, so we grabbed that to go. It was A-MAZ-ING!!! So good and the owner was super nice!“
“We were in town from the KC metro area and stumbled on this gem.They were slammed. So service was a little slow. Everyone was amazing, and the food was delicious. It was so well worth the wait.We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.If you stop in and they are busy, just sit back. Enjoy your drink and the atmosphere. You will wish you had a place like this closer to home like we do.“
“I'm not sure why this place is flagged as closed. Could be a possible name change or new ownership? Anyway, it was a great experience and glad it's open! They had your typical full bar, bottles of crisp domestics, and a handful of beers on tap. Including a rotating seasonal beer and this time of year it was Shiner Cheer! It is cash only, but no worries there, as they do offer an ATM in the back. We had such a great time making conversation with some of the friendly regulars and having a couple rounds we decided it was probably a good idea to get some food in our stomachs. They had build your own pizzas with about every topping you would expect and also 4 specialty pizzas. We chose the Cheeseburger and it did not disappoint. It came out PERFECT with one pickle slice per square. I'll admit I didn't expect much from a dive bar, and was thoroughly impressed. Definitely will return!“
“I have been a loyal domino's customer since I was just 16 years old and lived in an apartment downtown and domino's was just around the corner. I would save my money through the week so I could get a deep dish cheese pizza on Saturday night. Always been my favorite pizza joint!“
“Vegetarian options: Pretty good selection of vegetarian options, lots to choose from.Dietary restrictions: Offers gluten-free crust for pizza and a handful of other gluten-free options, and they will use a clean cutter/blade upon request.Kid-friendliness: Kids love pizza, and kids love seeing pizza being made. They have a chalkboard wall as well.Wheelchair accessibility: Located directly inside of Walmart provides very good wheelchair accessibility.“
“Great service and great pizza. I worked at breadeaux in high school about 20 years ago and I'm happy to report the pizza is still as good as it ever was. If you are in the Altoona or Bondurant area give them a try and show them some love.“
“We ordered over the phone grinder sausage on the pizza and the lady that took the order even asked if we wanted grinder sausage because she heard us say it , but we got regular Grazianos sausage. First time for that store to mess it up for us. But they are so good we can’t complain too much.“
“If you delivering here make sure you come to Dixon st at the light then Thompson Ave the short cut on the GPS is telling you to go there but they got it blocked off with big Boulders so it's small when you get here park along side the dropped trailers then walk to the end of the building there's a door there ,they got a Porta potty for restroom and not sure about overnight parking like I said it's small“
“A unique late night Des Moines tradition. Know for their late night pizza by the slice. One of the first in the area to offer unique pizza topping. Whole pizza's available - but to order earlier in the evening. It is known to be a busy place late.“
“Quality pizza every time. Delivery is usually a little faster than they estimate. Been there a hundred times and they got my order wrong ONCE and gave me the mess-up pizza for free. Super nice staff.Best recommendation is the Flamin' Piggy Stix“
