“This was a splurge meal for someone who is low sodium. It was very well worth it!! They choose the Buffalo on a thin crust. It was delicious and just as expected!We also got The Prairie Special on the Idaho crust. This was our favorite crust! Great flavor and texture! The toppings were a different combo than I had tried before, but I greatly enjoyed them. One of our "meat only" members thought it was their favorite of our 3.The last pizza was all meat except shrimp and chicken on the Denver thick crust with honey. The crust was ok. We normally always get thin crusts, but our sons requested one that wasn't thin crust. The 3 that ate it said it was OK. 2 tried it with the honey, liked it more thinking of it as a crusty bread. I think their opinions on the crust are more about the personal preference/used to thin crust. We got it based on the website, saying it was the most popular. We would personally not get this crust again. I would be interested in trying the oat if we get a thick crust next time. There is nothing wrong with this crust type, just not our preference.Dietary restrictions: We had gluten-free, grain-free people in our group. (The dairy light and low salt people choose to enjoy this meal as a special exception)We ordered 3 different crusts. The Idaho for those with restrictions. We actually felt that was the best of the 3 crusts we ordered. They say it isn't fully gluten-free because it is made in the same kitchen. We don't have anyone with celiac, so I can't speak on how it would affect that. But we didn't have any issues with it. I wish we had ordered the oat crust as our thick option.Parking: We were doing a pick-up at noon on Saturday as college students were coming back from Spring Break. It was busy everywhere, but there were a few spaces around the corner.“

“Owner, Jeff, went out of his way to make our big day special even though the restaurant was closed for renovations. We can’t begin to explain how thankful we are that this company cares so much about their customers. We go there or order from there all the time, and after today, we’ll continue loving everything we get from there!Thanks again, Jeff!“

“This place has been around for years but for some reason my wife and I have never got around to trying it. Now that we are not dining indoors because of Covid, we decided to try their takeout service. (They don't deliver, and it's not on Doordash.) I'd give it a 3.5, which I'll round up to 4. The young woman who took my phone order was pleasant and efficient, and the order, when we got it, was completely accurate. My wife wanted to try the Tuscan chicken but when I attempted to order that over the phone, was told they don't do that meal on takeout. So, after a hurried conversation with my wife, she ordered the cod parmesan with cheesy risotto instead. I got the chicken parmesan. Both meals were pretty good but neither was memorable. The portions were large, giving each of us a leftover meal. (My wife is somewhat leery of leftover seafood meals; she says if the food isn't fresh the leftovers can be "fishy", but she says her leftover cod tasted fine.) Each entree came with a salad, a roll, and what appeared to be a garlic breadstick. The salad dressings (creamy garlic parmesan for me, ranch for my wife) were both excellent, and the bread was quite good as well. This may be a case where the side stuff actually tasted better than the main meal. Bottom line: a decent meal, but probably not good enough to get us to drive clear across town for takeout again. It's too bad the restaurant doesn't offer outdoor seating in the warm months, or provide delivery.“

“I've read several reviews that the interior of the restaurant needs an update because it is "so 1980s" so let me put my vote in that I like it that way and I have since I was a student at ISU actually in the 1980s. The nostalgia of many wonderful meals in a place that is recognizable is a great comfort. Now the Pizza is my favorite in the entire world. There are definitely better places in the world but no one has had a kind enough heart to point them out to me. I'm also enough of a pizza heretic to enjoy pineapple on my meat lovers pizza. I did burn my chin on a hot slice there 40 years ago. So glad I kept coming.“

“Went there on Pi day when it was super chaotic, they definitely had a plan in mind and we're pretty efficient with their process. It was honestly the tastiest pizza I've ever eaten and I was sad that I ate the whole thing because I didn't have more.“

“Love their Chicken Artichoke pizza. You get a choice of regular or thin crust, and three pie sizes. It's take and bake, so I don't think ambiance is important. The place seems clean, and the staff is quick and friendly. I've been several times and have never been disappointed.“

“The kids had a lot of fun here. The pizza was good. The bowling lanes were clean and well-maintained. We spent a lot of time in the arcade. It was a little pricey, but comparable to other arcades. The kids really liked the indoor playground. It was understaffed for winter break, but the employees were great at quick service and getting what we asked for. Only complaint is that the lightest bowling ball was 7 pounds, too heavy for little kids.“

“Very busy place on this Saturday night. The crew headed up by a Caucasian bearded guy did a great job (I didn't get his name but he said he was a manager). Sure, they ran out of stuff occasionally, but it was refilled fast and was hot and fresh! I was impressed with the number of staff on duty as well. It seems like so many places these days aren't well staffed on their busy nights/days/times. I'll definitely keep coming back here.“
