Must-eat pizzas
It's nearly impossible for a "best pizza" list to be a consensus list, but these are places I would be remiss not to recommend.

Wig and Pen Pizza Pub -
2005 S. Ankeny Blvd., Suite 300 - Ankeny (Des Moines Metro)
Report this commentIf you want to get full, I mean REALLY full, Wig & Pen will do it better than any other pizza in town. I recommend the Flying Tomato (don't be afraid to create your own - chicken, spinach and garlic makes a fantastic pizza), but the Chicago style is equally filling and the thin crust is also delicious.

Chuck's Restaurant -
3610 Sixth Ave. - Des Moines (Des Moines Metro)
Report this commentTwo toppings, Italian sausage and cappicola, make for a seriously good pizza. Matched with the cracker crust, you can eat a few slices and not submit to a food coma. The service at Chuck's leaves something to be desired, so I suggest ordering a pizza to go (order onion rings as well) and enjoying it at home.

Big Tomato Pizza -
2613 Ingersoll Ave. - Des Moines (Ingersoll Avenue)
Report this commentI always hesitate to commend a restaurant that prides themselves on something that they shouldn't necessarily be proud of, but despite Big Tomato's poor service, I continue to give them my money. Their pizza is ridiculously good; fans of alfredo sauce should try Big Tomato's variety, as no other delivery pizza can duplicate the deliciousness of Big Tomato's sauce. Plus, the opportunity to sample various slices late nights allows for creative pizzas to be discovered by the masses.

Centro -

Report this commentFrank's Special, Margherita, Pepperoni - basically any pizza here puts me in a good mood. There is nothing like food that can affect your mood, and this is just one of those foods that does it for me.

Gyros!
I love everything about gyros! The Des Moines metropolitan area is not filled with Greek restaurants like some larger metro areas, but these are a few of my favorites.
