Best pizza in the Des Moines metro?

[CoachKM]

I am a big fan of 7 Stones in Waukee.

I have many favorites, depends on my mood. I love Papa Murphy’s thin crust Greek Pepperoni with garlic sauce as a regular weekly thing. But Wig’s, F&O’s and Rosati’s all make a great Chicago-style. Leaning Tower and Wheelhouse also can fill a craving. I don’t care to go all the way to DSM for the others on the list.

Wig and Pen flying tomato style.

Fongs is not good pizza, and is only popular because of the weird combinations.

Fongs "regular" pizza is plenty good. Not my favorite, but its solid.

I enjoy Rosati’s when looking for a change

I have to give a shout out to the pizza at Chucks in North DSM. It's really good, and the place has been in business for 70 years. A true local original.

7 stone in Waukee is the best I’ve had since moving to the metro in 2013.

Going thru a big renovation last time I knew.

I do like Chuck's but until they reopen, Taste of NY. 7.8

Seriously. I’m 31, and I can still eat nearly two large pies myself in a single sitting. I may spend the next 24 hours ****ting my guts out, but it’s always worth it.

I put away a large pizza easily each time. As long as it’s not loaded with multiple toppings. But a regular large pepperoni? Easy.

Tavern’s grinder sting is up there for me.

Eatery A for wood fired (happy hour pricing, too expensive for full price for what you get).

Taste of NY for NY thin.

Only one place to go for a New York slice.

I do like Taste of New York, but if I'm being honest its not all that different than Sbarros.

Don't matter to me.

It's good stuff. Almost a soup nazi type of place, LOL.
Can be some unique combinations too which I love.

I've never ordered from there myself, but my old neighbor use to love it and I tried it at his place a couple times. It was OK, but he made it sound like crappy service was part of their shtick, and was part of its charm. I honestly didn't get it. The pizza's not THAT good IMO.

I've only ever done by the slice after a thorough night of drinking but have always enjoyed it.
