“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.“

“Manager Ryan is a mensch! ?? We actually had a great experience despite/because of a problem. There was an issue with our delivery not getting to us on time, we called to check on it, and the manager, Ryan, went above and beyond, totally out of his way, to apologize and make it right (even though the situation was pretty much out of his control). We really appreciated the way it was handled and how Ryan clearly cared about doing things well. Will definitely order here again!“

“My mom and I ordered the bruschetta and the Italian grinder sandwich with fries. This was by far one of our favorite meals we have ever had!! The bruschetta was absolutely perfect and warm with just the right amount of balsamic glaze over the top. And the Italian grinder sandwich is by far the best grinder I have ever tried!! We will definitely be ordering this again soon! Thank you!“

“They have the best lunches, I had a chicken salad on a croissant , it was delicious. They make a great BLT as well, my co-workers order more then me, but they find everything really good, I even heard a delicious come from there mouths. Your missing out if you don’t try them.“

“New Years Eve and this Pizza Hut was swamped, as is to be expected. The food took a little longer to receive, but the workers were polite and apologetic. They were working as fast as their bodies would let them. The phone did ring a couple times, but people don't understand that the staffing is limited, and the phone is the last thing on their mind when they have multiple people showing up to pick up food.“

“Came in at 8:30ish for buffet and was greeted buy a guy named Ryan. I was fully expected older pizza but I just wanted some dessert pizza. He asked us if there was anything we for sure wanted, making sure we got everything we needed fresh. He did a phenomenal job at making sure we were taken care of and has by far some of the best customer service I've experienced at any pizza ranch location!“

“This is my favorite pizza place now. I try to visit them weekly. They have the best pizza around. Their entire menu is great but my personal favorites are the Vodka Roni and the Chicken Parmesan. So good!! They have great daily deals and every one there is so friendly and kind!“

“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.“

“First time I ordered from the Waukee location. It’s been here for years. Great value, friendly and great service! Too much food for what we paid for. You will be the first restaurant we order pizza from here on out!“

“Amazing pizza. We don't often choose pizza when we go out but this was amazing. Nice snap to the crust, not soggy. Toppings were flavorful and plenty and crust wasn't too big. We had the BBQ Chicken.

Parking: This is in the far back side of the parking lot. Our GPS kept taking us to the front. Ignore it.“

“Don’t judge a book by its cover! Despite its small size, Valley Pub has surprisingly elevated food. Thanks to Alyssa, who has a knack for creating unexpected recipes that you want to recreate at home, this place brings all the charm of your favorite neighborhood bar and combines it with service you’d receive from your favorite Aunt. There are few places that come to mind when I’m looking for a fun night out with the familiarity of home… and Valley Pub is at the top of the list!“

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

“friendly staff and good pizza“

“I gave a rave review 3 years ago. I am going to give a better review today. DoorDash messed up the delivery to my home. The owner ( I believe his name is Mario) made a fresh pizza and personally delivered it to us ! Outstanding customer service.“

“The pizza buffet on Fridays is really good. Pizzas coming out left and right. Hot fresh with great toppings. I requested a cherry dessert pizza and it was one of the best I have ever had. Well worth the money.

Parking: Lots of parking in the strip mall.

Kid-friendliness: Has many high chairs and disposable plates.“

“Great pizza and friendly staff!“

“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!“

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

“Our pizza came in under 30 minutes on Christmas! So happy these guys were open & the pizza was delicious 🤤“

“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.“

“I couldn’t really rate the atmosphere due to it being delivery, but we got a supreme thin crust and Parmesan breadsticks and the food was so good! What they say is true. The pizza IS great and you will LOOOOOOVE their breadsticks. They were perfect. Also, I wanted to mention that our delivery driver gentleman was fantastic! He called to verify our location because GPS was taking him to the wrong city. He was very friendly and professional on the phone and in person! We will definitely order again-especially because of the delivery person.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Great Papa John's Pizza Franchise!

Thankful to have a PJs up in Grimes. Pizzas are promptly and accurately made to order and are delicious. Customer service is also top notch with employees like Mason who go above and beyond providing excellent customer service!

Rock on Grimes Papa John's!“

“Well. Sbarro Pizza So Cool. My Favorite Pizza Is Cheese. My Girlfriend Julie Loves It.“

“Had a great experience here. Food was great, we got two appetizers and two pizzas. We brought our children (2 &5) and they shared our appetizers and pizza and they loved it. I had read previously that someone said it smelled a little like the cigar bar. I did smell that right when I walked it but it was very faint. My husband thought it smelled like a hotel pool. I didn't even notice it after a couple minutes. Someone else has mentioned they wished they had diaper changing stations in the bathrooms. They don't in the women's, but there is also a Family Bathroom that does have a changing station. My only couple complaints is that it seemed like there were only two employees running the whole front of house and so it took us a while to get told to sit wherever we wanted and then to get greated after we did sit. Service was good after that. Also, while everything was great, it is a little pricier. One specialty pizza, one two topping pizza, a spin dip, garlic bread, and two bar drinks (rum & coke and whiskey & coke) was $90. We would go back for sure, it's just seems more like a splurge treat than a place we would be able to afford regularly.

Kid-friendliness: Diaper changing station in family bathroom, kids menu options. No one seemed to mind the kids.“

“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. What stands out is their 'Build Your Own' pizza option, offering an array of fresh ingredients that cater to all tastes, cooked to perfection in a blazing oven. 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.“

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

“This was the fastest delivery and order fulfillment I’ve ever had in the many years of using any pizza delivery service. It was maybe 15 minutes total!? Chris handled the delivery with friendliness and professionalism. The pizza was so fresh and delicious! It was pipping hot since it was baked and delivered so quickly. The team that handled our family's Friday pizza night tonight was beyond impressive. We felt immensely taken care of due to the quick and friendly service we received today from your team. You rock dominos Clive!! Thank you for making our night!“

“I saw a Facebook ad for this place. I love trying different ethic foods so I couldn’t resist. I had an Açaí bowl. It was crazy delicious. I will definitely be back to try other menu items… the Sfihas look so good!“

“I absolutely love their hash browns everything with 3 poached eggs! great fast friendly service“

“Every thing you expect from a small town shop. Top notch service with an atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. 💜“

“Would have loved to give a 5 start review but I can’t. First it’s a fantastic bar, super friendly staff, great atmosphere and has a patio. However the two things that I personally didn’t like was an automatic $1.50 charge to any tabs paying with a card. Last thing I didn’t like was when I walked inside it immediately smelled like vomit. The restaurant was super clean and didn’t give off a vibe that they don’t regularly clean. Maybe it was something in the carpet or perhaps another patron. I would visit again.“
