“I took a good amount of time evaluating local pizza places to try. Out of many of the top rated locations, most reviews expressed they all the locations at assorted pizza places went down hill after changing ingredients. I came across Breadeaux, I have driven past but never thought to try. The atmosphere was nice, with polite staff. The pizza was done relatively fast. The flavor was great, one of the top pizzas ive had around town. The bread sticks are what lower my rating of this place. Breadsticks are what I get hyped for. I was sad to see they were undercooked flavorless dough. Out of a large order of breadsticks, between my spouse and I we only had half of a single breadstick. Could definitely use some improvement! Otherwise I enjoyed my experience here- Wish theyd offer water as well, soda was all they had when I dined in“

“The food was excellent. One of the best steak deburgo I’ve had. The restaurant is small, so it gets really noisy. There was also no clear communication in where to go to get on the waitlist, you can’t wait at the bar so you have to go to a small waiting room down further in the strip mall. But again no one told us where to go to wait and there was no signage.“

“Best NY Pizza in the Midwest. I grew up in NY where freedom as a kid meant having $1 and being old enough to walk to the corner pizzaria on your own - or having $2 so you could bribe an older sibling to go with you if you weren't old enough to go alone. Plenty of places call themselves NY pizza, but don't come close. The pizza and pasta at TONY is authentic NY. The garlic knots and zepoles are perfect. It's our first stop whenever we're in Des Moines.“

Everything tasted really good, only knock would be the wings were a little tough like they were cooked just a little too long. Will definitely be back.“

The owner, Ron, was bartending and was very friendly talking to everyone at the bar. He also gave the first round of drinks for free and thanked us multiple times for coming in. The food, as always, was incredible. We had the onion rings for an appetizer. They are thin type and were very good. For entrees we had chicken parm, pasta fresca, and the baked lasagna. Everyone was completely satisfied. What a great experience. We have been here many times and will be back many more.“

“Taking a break from packing to move, so went today for the 1st time for a 10" pizza. Pros: * Very nice flavor. * Not overly saucy, which I prefer, but they did give me a small side of extra sauce, as well as 2 packets... 1 Parmesan cheese, the other red pepper flakes & also enclosed 1 pepperoncino, which was interesting. * I ordered extra cheese & pepperoni & it had PLENTY of both. * A 10" is hearty enough that it's 2 full meals for me. * Very nice staff, friendly & I was offered a 15% discount as it was my first time going, which was a nice touch. Cons: * Price. For a 10" with 2 toppings it was $15 & that was with the 15% discount. Granted, I don't get pizza take out often (I usually make my own from scratch), so that might be par for the course, but I think it's high. * Crust was a bit oily, but that's par for the course with most pizzas, which is why I usually make my own. Good to Know: * They don't sell slices. Overall... 4*... 5* for flavor, 5* for nice employees, 3.5* for price.“

“We got there a bit early, and they opened promptly at 5. Our server/hostess seemed to be doing it all even as more and more people started showing up. She did a fantastic job. We started with a order of cheesesticks served with a rich red sauce. Breading was delicious and fried perfectly. I ordered the Chicken Parm, and my wife ordered the Eggplant Parm. Salad and bread came out next, salad was cold and crisp, bread was warm and very good as well. Next comes our main dish, Both were hot and cooked to perfectly. Nothing exceptional, just good basic Italian food. We both have decided to go back and try the pizza, as it looked delicious.“

The dessert chocolate molten cake for me, Tiramisu for my Dad. Peach was helpful when I needed something as my server got just a littke bit busy and she was able to jump in and help out with something minor. Those 2 ladies are amazing. You really feel a family atmosphere there. 10 thumbs up!! I'll definitely be a regular customer!! - Aleza Nichelle“
