Taste of New York Pizza

Super super good. Will be back and very soon. This is real deal. Can’t wait to try more items in large menu.

I looove the pizza here. I got a margherita slice and it was perfect. I mean I shoveled that mama in. Fresh basil and tomato. The sauce was superb. I wish I lived in WDM so I could come by more often.

Hands down best pizza in Des Moines. I’m a pizza guy and have eaten it literally all over the world. This place is awesome. Crust is perfect and sauce is amazing. they have a wide variety of pies to choose from. Lasagna is my fav but the chicken parm is close as well which is the wifes fav. Kinda pricey for a whole pizza but you get what you pay for. If you want cheap pizza with a cheap taste go for dominos or something. However if you that high quality tasty pizza then come here and get some. The staff is also great, super friendly. Great spot to hit for lunch cuz they do it by the slice as well. Honestly best pizza in Des Moines.

Great New York style pizza. Carryout takes a bit of time, but plan ahead and it’s worth the wait.

Great place to get a cheap slide of pizza! The basic slides start at $ 3.50 and are huge! Perfect, crispy crust that isn’t too thin or thick. The place is small so it’s not super ideal for dining in with a large group. Garlic twists are really good too for an appetizer.

My roommate and I ordered a pizza the other day and are still talking about it! We just got a plain cheese, but it was THAT good! This will definitely be our go to pizza place while we’re here in West Des Moines! We also tried the meat rice ball, garlic knots, and cannolis. All delicious as well!

Pretty good pizza locally owned but they could use some help with the crust. I really don’t understand how all these new restaurants make it what just so so food

Pizza is great but service is horrible. Ordered four hours ahead of time and waited 30 minutes upon arrival. Pies didn’t even go in until after I arrived. when I asked a few times about the order, I was continuously told it was coming out of the oven. Either be up front and honest or tell me it’s late and will take an extra half hour.

My friend and I were in the mood for pizza and decided to try this place based on some good reviews that I read here on Unilocal.
The pizza joint is located in a strip mall across from the Jordan Creek mall. The interior is very clean and inviting and the staff was very helpful when we were trying to decide on which slice of pizza we wanted.
I got a slice of pepperoni pizza ($ 3.75) and my friend got the special 3 meat ($ 5). Both were very large in size too. This is thin NY style pizza, so don’t expect something thick and hearty. There was right amount of sauce to cheese ratio and the crust had a decent crunch to it. We also ordered the garlic knots and we both enjoyed those as well. I was even nice enough to give him more lol.
Overall, if you’re in the mood for thin style pizza I would recommend giving this place a try.

The thin cruse pepperoni pizza is delicious. It’s everything I would expect from a New York style pizza. Crust is slightly char and the slices are huge and cheesy. I am not a fan of thin crust pizza in general, but if I’m ever craving one, this is the place I will go.

Went here tonight on a whim… and I must say it was worth it! Bought a slice of the lasagna pizza and it blew my mind. Definitely reminds me of the pizza I had in New York! I can’t wait to come back this weekend!!!

This is now my favorite pizza in the Des Moines area. The pizza here is true New York style pizza and amazing! We also tried a pepperoni roll and cheese rice ball very good also. We met the owner here and she was very friendly and super nice. This place makes you feel kind of like your in New York City with all the décor and atmosphere. Love that you can buy pizza by the slice or get a whole pizza. It is great that they have brought New York pizza to Iowa.

Made it to Taste of New York Pizza over by Jordan Creek. Me and three guys from work split a large T.O.N.Y.S Special Meat Pizza for lunch. I was stationed in Philadelphia PA and spent a lot of time in NYC so I was skeptical at best. Good pie! Best New York style pizza (crisp stone baked Neapolitan-​style crust, light tomato sauce, real mozzarella cheese, and pieces so wide you HAVE to fold them) I’ve had since I left the East Coast. I’m looking forward to going back and trying the Sicilian pizza and some of their other menu items. It’s a small location. One row of tables against the wall; the kitchen and the service counter take up ²⁄₃ of the space. The owner is a former NYC cop from Brooklyn and definitely brings a slice of the Big Apple here to the metro. Really took me back to a different time in my life when the gf and I would grab $ 1 slices in the Village, when I visited her at NYU.

Tried a couple different slices tonight, but I couldn’t eat the white slice with spinach. I think the spinach was frozen, thawed and just plopped on top. Fresh would have made a world of difference. My husband got the pepperoni slice and it was better than mine, but I wasn’t crazy about it. It could just be that the particular style is not for me, which must be the case based on all the other positive reviews.

This place definitely has the vibe of a NY pizza joint. It is a bit hidden in a strip mall but look for the kum and go right past jordan creek and you will find it. Having just been in New York last week I was anxious to see how this place measured up. On to the review:
1. Crust is authentically NYC albeit a bit floppy, when I go for the fold the front flops down… still amazingly good but not like the pies in NYC (nona’s pizzeria)
2. They don’t skimp on the toppings if you are a meat lover order the Tony special. You will be full after two slices, they pile on the meat.
3. Best pizza in my opinion is the Margherita. The cheese and zippy tomato sauce on this pie make this classic the best.
4. Call ahead if you want a specialty pie and its Friday night. They get crowded and busy.
5. If you don’t like garlic you may not like their pie, they put lots of garlic in their sauce.
One thing to note, a tell tale sign of a restaurants hygiene is the condition of their bathrooms. It’s kind of the X factor for me. This place had immaculate bathrooms which made me feel very good about their sanitation practices.
We will be back!

Heard about this place when they opened so decided to try.
The pizza was great and the staff were kind and curteous.
The wait time was little much probably because there were more people than seating. The place was self seating and we waited 20 minutes for a table to clear.
Once we got a seat and ordered we found the staff very pleasant.
Good café type soround ing I liked the casual feel.
The pizza was very good. I’ve never had New York style before very tasty.

Pizza is amazing. Best pizza in town! The flavor is so great and the crust is unbelievable.
We will be coming back many many times.

If you are in the mood for traditional thin crust pizza this is the spot. Top that off with some cheesy garlic knots and an Italian Gino’s ice. The place is small but reminds me of how the pizza cafes are in NYC — that is ordering by the slice.

Oh yeah! This is definitely the place to go for some good pizza by the slice! Their slices are big and more importantly they taste amazing!
This is a newly opened spot in town opened by a family straight from New York! They know their pizza and we Iowans are happy they brought it to us! You order the slices you want and they will get it prepared for you. We tried different ones, but I want to go back and try them all!
The staff members are all very friendly, especially the owner who came out to say hi a few times! This is a family operated business and need the support of the community!

Wow Wow Wow!!! Where do I begin. This place is AMAZING. I am from New York and have been waiting for a place like this to open in the area forever and now it finally has thanks to T.O.N.Y.
The inside is beautiful I felt like I was back in New York the moment I walked in.
I’ve been here twice so far I’ve tryed quite a few different slices and they were all delicious. I already can’t wait to go back.
Also the family running the place is super nice and accommodating they checked up on me and my family while we were eating to make sure our experience was nothing short of spectacular and they succeeded.
Thank you for the wonderful food and service guys I appreciate it and will be coming here very often.
