Pizza tonight was spot on amazing as always. Ordered the Thunder Nut and added cream cheese. The salad was killer as usual, and the service is unmatched by any other place in town.

First timers. Waitress was great with suggestions and service. A little hiccup on the sandwich, not a big deal but the owner came over and chatted. Nice touch. Loved the supreme pizza! Cheesy goodness.

This place is so good. Its a little hole in the wall pizza joint. The staff were all phenomenal and nice. They had a power outage that night and still kept smiling like nothing happened earlier. The atmosphere is unique. Lots of neat stuff on the walls. Its a small place not many tables. We had to wait so we just ordered a beer and stood and watched them make pizza and took in some free smells. When the time came we ordered the all meat and the streaker. My wife ordered a salad after seeing one go by piled high with cheese. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted great. Will definitely be back.

Wow! Highly impressed with how awesome the staff is from start to finish! Everyone was so friendly and attentive! Especially for how busy they were! We got cheese bread and Italian sausage pepperoni pizza.!! The crust was so crispy and cooked perfectly. Everything was so delicious! Definitely worth the trip down south!

The pizza here was excellent! This was some of the best pizza I've had in a long time. The service was good & the place has a fun atmosphere. The only knock I have is we got a half supreme & half pepperoni pizza. They charged me for a full specially pizza which was fine but then added on a charge for splitting the pizza when there was only one topping on the other half of the pizza that basically had all the toppings including pepperoni. It's not enough to keep me from going back but it definitely was something that dragged down the experience.

This place and its pizza are amazing! I grew up in south Des Moines and our Friday's were always "pizza night" from one of the local Italian pizza places (Bordenaros, Vaccos, Paesanos). I didn't think I'd ever find a place close to this after recently moving to southern Iowa. I was wrong. The pizza is amazing and brings you right back to "little Italy". It is a small place and the line to wait was a little long but to me that just meant it was a popular place! They even had pizzas that had some similarities to the pizzas I grew up on. "The Funaro" is to die for. It's a very similar version the " Pastachina pizza" (if you know you know) that Paesano's used to make but with its own spin and definitely not a copy cat version. The place was packed which was not a bad thing. The staff (maybe the owners?) working behind the counter were so busy but left a little room for some humor and the sweet young lady at the register was doing so well for how chaotic it was. Our waitress was great and even the other gal who was working checked in on us a couple times. Seating was a little off with groups of people at wrong size tables BUT its a Friday night, its a nice night out, and it happens. We definitely will be coming back for more and will be bringing our friends and family with us!

Found this place through reading reviews and was not let down. Cons - it is a small venue with about 10 tables and a few bar seats. Can get very noisy. Pros - Customer Service is top notch. Food is outstanding! We started out with their large salad, which is enough for four. The lettuce is fresh and crisp the mozzarella fresh and it is appropriately doused with the dressing of your choice, I recommend the creamy Italian. My wife and I ordered small pizzas as we both like different things and the leftovers are great reheated in a air-fryer. The crust is a nice crispy crackers style crust and complements the ingredients delightfully. The sauce has great flavor and adds a great flavor to the Pizza. We have been there a couple of times and will continue to return as this is one of our favorites at this point. Worth the travel but would recommend going early or late as they have a steady crowd and are always busy.
