About this business

We've been serving up some of Iowa City's favorite pizza since 1991. Original thin crust or Chicago stuffed -- whichever kind of pie you're craving, we have a ton of specialty options or you can build your own. The decision is all up to you. Pizza's all about sharing time with your friends and family so we just wanted to make sure there was something for everyone. In the mood for a dish besides pizza? We're still here for you. In fact, we're known for having the best calzones around.

I would love to have given this place a review. Their kitchen is open until midnight and their bar is open until 2am. However, they don't allow carryout orders after 10pm. How much sense does that make? 

Business response:

Sorry for any confusion there, Christopher. We offer delivery after 10 PM, but our tablet for online ordering shuts down at 10. You can always call to place an order, though, and I hope you'll give our pizza a try, as I'm sure you'll love it. -Terry F.

Great Chicago style pizza and great service. We'll be going back to try the thin crust soon. 

Business response:

Looking forward to welcoming you back for more, Dean! Glad you loved the Chicago style pie, and you can bet our thin crust is just as good. See you soon! -Terry F.

Large group (20 people) . "Empty" restaurant. We expected to wait, no problem. But the first person in our group got there pizza 1 hour and 10 minutes before the last person. Two people sitting next to each other got salads an hour apart. Waitress was great. Although a 15% discount on the two forgotten pizzas is a slap in the face. We should have called in our orders to be delivered. It was frustrating watching orders leaving with the delivery driver when we were waiting for food. 9 pizzas shouldn't take 2 1/2 hours.... epic... read more

Business response:

I'm disappointed you had such a poor experience, Dana -- that certainly doesn't live up to the high quality we're known for. I appreciate you letting me know about this, and I'll work with the team to make sure this doesn't happen again. -Terry F.

I love your Chicago style but we were there yesterday for lunch and our Chicago style was really doughy i had em put it back in for a while but we had already each had a piece, unfortunately we didn't get a discount was little upset we spent $50 bucks with tip, i took the remaining 3 pieces home put in oven on pan and it was done not doughy anymore, would appreciate next time it's done properly, thank you 

Business response:

Jj, Thank you for letting us know about this. I'm sorry that your experience the other day was not what it should have been. I will have a talk with the kitchen staff and fix this problem. The next time you come in we will make sure to get you a discount on your food. Thanks, Sam's Pizza
