It isn't West Des Moines, but I'd encourage you to check out Polito's in Boundarant. Excellent pizza that isn't greasy. I hear they're coming to Ankeny soon.
Felix and oscars is HORRIBLE, it will put you on the crapper for days, and it is deep dish chicago style. It is just a bowl of undercooked dough and grease.
Tavern has great thin crust pizza.
I've never been, but I've heard great things about Red Rossa:
RedRossa Napoli Pizza Sioux Falls South Dakota
It's localish. It's located right next to Granite City brewery.
I know its not in West Des Moines, but the "Leaning Tower" in Ankeny has excellent thin crust pizza. You should definitely check it out sometime.
Live in Ankeny and never have tried it. Might have to sometime. Anything special to order?
I'm looking for a recommendation for great pizza in the West Des Moines area. Prefer somewhere I have never been. (no chains) Deep Dish is not an option.. prefer traditional thin crust.
Momma Lacona's or Felix and Oscars?? or something else? I have had Tavern, Paradise Pizza, Angelo's.
It's unfortunate you're only looking in West Des Moines for good Pizza. If you wouldn't mind taking a short drive; I Recommend "Chuck's" on 6th and Euclid in the Oak Park area of Des Moines. Their Pizza is absolutely unbelievable, even better than the famous Pizza Hubs in Chicago!! Great thin crust pizza with Lots of Cheese and toppings. Also if you decide to go, order the onion rings, it is a Northside favorite!!!:yes:

I have been here as well. The owner is a really young guy and a former ISU student (I believe).
Also if you ever make it to Norwalk try Villaggio.
I actually consider myself an expert in this field.
