Has to be a tax write off so the owner can invite his friends over and drink in his bar. If that's not the case, the guy is scared of making money. I could go on and on about how this makes zero sense. Add a bar to the most well known spot for food after the bars in Ames, but don't sell alcohol to the people that hold this business together. And it's not like anyone is asking for beer at 2:00 am. We're talking an hour or two before that when students are leaving the bars early and grabbing a slice. Let us enjoy a beer with our pizza during that window. That's prime time for your actual customer base. Jeff's was perfect without the bar, but why add one if you're just not going to use it when it actually makes sense?

Pizza Pit Extreme is more than pizza, it's comfort food. I frequent many pizza joints in Ames and…read moreI have several favorites but Pizza Pit is the best. It's the sauce and cheese along with tasty toppings that really make the difference. Pizza Pit Extreme is a staple of campus town and the Ames scene. I can't tell you how many Meeker Elementary school fund raisers I attended only to find the owner severing a mountain of pizzas to hungry kids and parents. Tireless in his support of the Ames Schools. But it's the pizza that brings me back. It's comfort food!

We ordered jalapeno poppers, cheese pizza, pepperoni pizza, pit sticks, and a black olive and green pepper beef pizza. Everything was really good! Perfect ratio of sauce, cheese and ingredients. It wasn't too greasy or floppy. Arrived hot. Would definitely order here again next time I am in town.

To start out... I'm not a local, I come to Ames once a month for work and love to try new bars and…read morerestaurants.. Figured I'd give this place a try! The feel and ambiance... mixed with a touch of nostalgic. Upon entering you are greeted with tables and chairs inches from the door. We thought that we entered from the side door. There was no host stand or sign stating that you should order in the back at the kitchen. We were confused. During our meal the radio was playing, and not nice music but a crude talk show that happened to be talking about someone getting a Brazilian wax... You'd think the place could pay for Spotify or music without ads... The booths were a tad old and crusty - But I suppose that's where the nostalgia comes in. The food... much to be desired. It was all cheap just okay. Everything lacked flavor. Nothing to write home about. The salads were massive and a great bargain. The cheese bread was disappointing, it was just melted cheese on a sub bun with store bought sauce. For a location called sauce and dough company. This was expected to be a highlight, but ended up being something that could easily be made at home. The pizza was decent, but confusing at best. For someone's first time, I'd expect there to be signs or mentions that the honey should go on the crust... I only found that out after once I read reviews. The crust was dry and lacked flavor without the honey or other seasoning... Am I the only one that thinks that you should not need honey to make pizza palatable. Also, if you add honey you add 70 cals each tablespoon. I know I didn't come to eat healthy but also... Everyone is right, so many toppings and cheese. But again, lacks flavor. The prices... very reasonable. We got two large salads, two beers, an app and a large pizza for $50. Very reasonable. Overall, I won't be back but am glad I at least tried an Ames staple.

I haven't been to Domino's in years, but I saw ads on tv about them finally coming out with a…read morestuffed crust pizza and I'd seen YouTube videos of folks rating national pizza chain pizzas. They always came back to Domino's having the freshest toppings. So, today I ventured out to check them out. I'm surprised that I'm the first person to do a review on this store. I ordered just before I left home and the pizza was ready when I got there. Quick reminder-always download apps. They eventually get you some free food. Now, to the pizza. I got the medium one topping stuffed crust for $10+tax. It was really hot when I took a piece to eat in the car. The crust was crispy outside, with melty cheese inside. They add Parmesan and garlic butter to the outside before baking it, so you have a very high quality product. Friendly staff. Lot parking. MarcyDiner'sTantrumScale 5/5- NoScreamingKids.

Nice drink menu (I enjoyed their take on the old fashioned) with cocktails and a nice craft beer selection.

The cherry tart was a pleasant surprise and the salted caramel chocolate cake will def fix a choc craving. Would gladly come back.

Provisions Lot F in Ames…read more If you like fresh baked breads and bomb desserts, along with amazing food, head to Provisions if you're in the area. Pork Belly app: thick cut pork belly in lettuce cups, topped with sweet thai glaze, pickled carrots, onions, celery, mint, thai basil, cilantro, scallions and crushed peanuts. A tad sweet for me but overall this was a great app. Slice of Sourdough: delish. Chicken Japchae: since my mom has celiac disease, we were very excited to see this on their menu - dining out with her can be a challenge. Especially at a place specializing in breads! The only unfortunate part about this dish is (I think) they forgot they already salted the chicken and salted it again...and then again. I'm not one to say something is too salty, I love my sodium but this was mouth-puckering salty. Inedible, actually, but the noodle dish itself was SO GOOD that she set the chicken aside and ate the entree. NY Strip Steak: perfectly med-rare, served with a garlic-rosemary potato pavé (like a potato casserole of sorts), roasted broccolini and a house steak sauce that was similar to a demi glaze. Not a bite left - no leftovers with this one. I ate the whole dang thing. Myself. And I have zero regrets. Crème Brûlée: I also couldn't leave without ordering a crème brûlée because there are some really bad ones out there. This did not disappoint. I also took home a Dubai Chocolate tort, Raspberry Crumble and a Flourless Chocolate cake. ZERO regrets but if you love Dubai chocolate then you know there are some discusting renditions of this in the market. However, the Dubai chocolate tort at Provisions Lot F is . I can't even describe how delicious this was and is worth the drive to Ames just for this dessert. If you're north of DSM for a game or whatever, I highly recommend Provisions! I'm already scheming a way to get back there...soon!

Racist. They close at 1 am but I currently walked to them at 12:49 am. They said they were closed…read morebecause they locked the doors. I then proceeded to show them that they close at 1 on maps. Then the employee decided to get a manager? Then the manager per say walks out and tells me that they were closed for carry out but open for delivery. I said well okay I guess I'll just order for delivery. I then called the papa John's phone number which is obviously an remote worker. The phone worker gives me the two options of whether I'm ordering for carry out or delivery. Weird since I just walked to the physical store and they say they are closed for carry out. Well then again I am an African American with dreads so why would I get the privilege to walk into their establishment when it's "closed." Now I ordered delivery which will take an additional 35 mins when I literally live across the street. Hopefully they CHOOSE to serve me when I place an ONLINE order. Currently waiting....poor customer service. Update just got my food at 1:10 order total was 31.16 I handed him two twenties. Then he tried to just walk off as if he wasn't the one who told me that "we're closed." As hes running off I say my change? "Oh shit I didn't realize" no but why did I have to ask him for my change? For what reason would he just try to take his own tip. I then said that I want my change. He replies, "how much do you want back?" What or how is that confusing on I want my change. So having to do math with no receipt I say I'll just take $8. He quickly replies, "no you can't do that" I can't get a carry out, I can't get my change back, now I can't get the right amount of change back? After figuring out math in his tiny brain he says oh yeah you can do that. Then had the comfortably to say oh yeah it's pretty dark. Can you double check to make sure I gave you $8 . Do I intimidate you that much for you to not know how much change you literally just gave me? Lucky I even proceeded to give money for very poor customer service. And lucky that I can't post my doorbell camera video on yelp of horrible service
