13 Best Pizza Restaurants in Ankeny

“We planned this trip specifically to spend the night near Grimaldi's Pizzeria. As we checked into our hotel we were on the phone calling Grimaldi's to place our usually order, large pepperoni with black olives. IMHO, the best thing crust pizza in West Des Moines/Ankeny IA and old/new town Scottsdale AZ! Rumor has it they are coming to Omaha, I will be a regular when and if they do! If you are nearby a Grimaldi's, you must give them a try.“

“we had their pizza today it was very delicious and love the thin crust great job to kevin and his crew“

“We love Portofinos!!! The salmon dishes are my favorites!!! Great soups and yummy bread!!! We're close, so we walk there often!!!“

“Had the Tuscan Slice, which was a great combination of flavors and perfect crust! Great selection and quick! Will definitely be back.“

“Wow! Great Pizza, top notch service and wonderful atmosphere.“

“Didn’t feel like cooking so I called to pick up some burgers on the way home. Turns out it was a good idea. I’m never disappointed w any of the food I’ve gotten here. I always see the owner in there greeting customers and leaving the table full of smiles. This is the best example of local hospitality and food I can think of. Stop in and have a burger or a sandwich or some pizza or even a drink. You will be satisfied with your decision and may even wonder about being a regular. I’m glad this place is open.“

“Fast, polite and kind service with ordering and additional breadsticks. Speaking of the breadsticks, they are delicious as well as their entrees. The sampler platter is perfect to satisfy hunger both initially and portions saved for later.“

“The pizza choices and taste are fantastic. We have tried many pizza places here in Ankeny, Iowa and this is our household it is our favorite go to. We have had fun going through the menu trying each of the pizzas. Fan favorite in this household is the all meat pizza. However, all of them have been good. I love the choices of sauces and pestos you can add to the pizza. If you want a pizza that doesn’t fold at the end order the deep dish. Deep dish is not what you’re thinking when ordering this deep dish Pizza, it just holds itself in the center so it doesn’t fold over. I truly wish it would be a deep dish pizza. I would like to see a few more vegetable ingredients added.“

“This my favorite Domino's location! I've ordered carry out from here numerous times and I can always rely on the staff here to be fast, friendly, and most importantly, reliable! Even when mistakes were made, they were always considerate and offered redos or free entrees as compensation, and I'll NEVER turn down free food!

I have to give a special shoutout to Amber as she has created a majority of my orders, and she's always welcoming and offers a smile during pickup even when they're getting slammed with orders. To me, it takes a lot of strength and professionalism to handle that kind of stress! 💪🏻🔥“

“REALLY DOMINOS?!?! The wings were super small and DRIZZLED with buffalo sauce.“

“Very clean and taste great“

“We had a variety of choices for an evening meal, and we chose The Other Place Ankeny. What a great pick! They had the right balance of everything we like in a restaurant.
The Food: we went with the Sampler for our appetizer. It didn't disappoint. The onion rings and fried mushrooms were delightfully delicious. The two chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks were prepared perfectly. House-made marinara, ranch, and honey mustard dressing served on the side were especially great.
While their menu is straightforward. We liked the SICILIAN pizza. It's a brushed garlic-basil oil, Italian sausage, spinach, mushrooms, red onions, sun-dried tomatoes, red peppers, and mozzarella. Since they have been making pizzas for over fifty years they know something about what makes a great pizza. It had the right balance of toppings, sauce, and dough. This isn't some cookie-cutter pizza either. It has definitive flavors and tastes. Our drinks were there while we perused the menu. Seeing some of the cuisine coming out of the kitchen wet our appetite for our next visit.
The Service: Here's where they did well, with just a few faux-paus. Our server was on point with drinks and the kitchen delivered our food fast and hot. At the end of the meal, we asked for a box for the rest of our food. She had just a few tables and forgot about our request. She came back after checking on her other tables and asked if we wanted a box. Then she went to service her other tables before coming back. We then had to wait to pay our bill (which is done by her POS device). You don't know what's on the bill until your receipt is printed.
The Atmosphere: this is the way a sports bar and grill is done well. While there were multiple TVs, with a lot of action, (the NBA playoffs, NHL playoffs, and Cubbies- who have been on a tear) were all muted. This made for being able to enjoy our meal and the overall vibe of the place. The eclectic choices of decor and signage made it interesting to take note of the whole place. The seating options were especially nice. With short and long booths, table and bar stool tops, and a bar adequately spaced made it that much easier to have a fantastic time.
The bathrooms are clean and well-maintained.
We loved our meal and bookmarked it for another visit.
Update: we went back, and boy did they impress. Everything was perfect.“
