Reviews
Me and 7 friends went to LaPizza House to Celebrate one of us Birthday. We always bring a "Small Champagne Cake" to have after dinner. We were very dissatisfied/and shocked really when the waitress informed us we could not have the cake at LaPizza House. In all of my years of going to restaurants all over Des Moines and surrounding suburbs, have I EVER heard of such a RIDICULOUS rule. You have a group of people who've decided to dine at your restaurant(buying your food/ordering drinks etc)and your told you can't have a little cake. Very very disappointed. We won't be doing anymore "Birthday Celebrations at LaPizza House again. Too BAD!!! FYI When one of us asked to see the manager the waitress informed us that it was his rule and that he would just tell us the same thing. KISS OUR BUSINESS GOODBYE!!!!
Update: went back tonight with family and the server wasn't very pleasant. However the pizza and onion rings are still fabulous. Just didn't appreciate her attitude....
I was craving the delicious pizza from La Pizza House tonight. So I called and ordered a medium cheese pizza to go. It did not disappoint. The crust was crisp and the cheese was plentiful. The pizza is in the oval in shape and has a little sauce on top too. I am not a fan of a lot of sauce but this is just enough without it being too much. If you like onion rings they are great here. If pizza is not your thing they have good Italian sandwiches... The atmosphere is meh but the food is wonderful!
Best pizza in Des Moines. If you don't like La Pizza House, I don't like you. It's as simple as that. This place is not the fanciest, but man do they have some good pie. You won't find better pizza in probably the entire world.
There's something wrong with you if you don't love this pizza. Sorry, but true. This is the real deal, family recipe from way back. To me it's La Pizza house first, and foremost. Great onion rings and great service too. My wife and I showed up one night after close. They saw us outside the door and said "come on in!" We were reassured that they had to clean and shut down, so we had plenty of time. No rush. Fantastic experience. Just like the old days at the old location. I went there since the 70s. Never had a bad bite of food or bad service. Support this legendary institution people! Buy local!
