Editorial Datebook Review: Big Tomato Pizza
Big Tomato Pizza
A Big Tomato Pizza with, clockwise from bottom, hot dogs, apples and blue cheese, Doritos, and zucchini and carrots. (Arturo Fernandez/Juice)
If you're too tipsy to drive after a night of Ingersoll bar hopping, swing by Big Tomato for a slice of what some consider the best pizza in Des Moines. The place stays open until 3 a.m. (and delivers that late, too). Order by the slice or grab a whole pie, and skip the pepperoni and sausage. Go for one of the wacky combo pizzas offered here instead, like the chili dog pizza. Or make your own - how's spam and blue cheese and asparagus sound? Make it happen at Big Tomato, where the service is, well, spotty, but the pizza makes up for it.

Favorite Pizza in Des Moines/Ames

Anyone who says they havent found good pizza in Des Moines is living under a rock! With Des Moines's large Italian population there are some amazing authentic south side spots as well as some very creative pizza chefs around the area.
