Detroit style pizza is fantastic. Their happy hour deal amazing. Would highly recommend

This place has the best happy hour deal for Detroit style pizza from my experience. Their single slice services are pretty big. And they have a good variety on pizza topping choices. [[HIGHLIGHT]]From my first impression the place is very nice looking and well organized.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have also have parking lot space next to the building. The only issue on our visit was that the service was slow with a long wait for drinks. I'm not sure if it was just an off day but outside of that, my group still enjoyed their time here and food was delicious. read more

Go here for happy hour! Pizzas are discounted to $14.99 for a whole pizza or $4.50 for a slice. We got the "I shot the sheriff" pizza. I normally don't like Detroit style pizza but ITS SO GOOD. Also if you love ranch on your pizza you have to try their ranch (bomb). Also! Drinks are half off during happy hour (3-6pm) so we each got a margarita for $4.25. The staff was friendly, quick, and can accommodate any pizza customization requests. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I recommend sitting at the booths, but high top seating looked fun too![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

First time at this restaurant & had break for Father's Day...it was awful! Eggs, toast & potatoes all arrived cold, even after waiting for more than 30 minutes & we were the only ones there for 20 minutes after arriving. The waitress was NOT good...took repeated requests to get cream & sugar for the coffee...she brought the sugar after our food arrived! She also shared it was her first time serving at breakfast...wow...a real need for customer service education! We had heard they serve great pizza...maybe but I highly doubt we will return. read more

4.4/8.8 It's a winner any way you look at it. Best Pizza in central Iowa for sure, although I am a former Detroit guy and this is my style. And the happy hour prices make this place a great value. Don't sleep on it. read more

Bid space indoor and outdoor. They allow dogs on the patio. Service was good. I have ordered Detroit style vegetarian pizza with vegan and regular cheese. Vegan cheese was not good. I have tried vegan cheese lots of places, but this was not melted and had consistency of dip. Pizza was not even warm. The regular cheese was ok. I ordered ginger mocktal, which was refreshing. read more

Wow! Just wow! Or better stated Yum! Just yum! I have enjoyed pizza and apps here as they have great happy hour specials and the pizza is amazing. In looking for a brunch site we discovered the Parlor offers this Friday- Sunday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We made a reservation for a party of 6 and sat at high tops with access to TVs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There is a nice bar but coffee and juice sufficed today although signature drinks were definitely tempting. We shared a skillet cinnamon roll and it was delicious. I have been missing Little Brother's but this actually is a fantastic replacement- just a scoop of butter on top and the warm, gooey cinnamon roll has the perfect sauce on the bottom to scoop up bites with. Our meals were so so good- breakfast burrito was stuffed, potatoes perfectly crisp and seasoned. Breakfast scrambles - get the sausage- so good! Eggs were a bit overcooked for my taste so ordering again I would ask for soft scramble. My men ordered biscuits and gravy which disappeared quickly. All meals came with two large pieces of sourdough toast lightly buttered- choices of blackberry, strawberry or pineapple. Ironically the only picture I took of food was from other guests- the breakfast pizza. Next level- and definitely will order next time to share! We had friendly and attentive service and our server catered to unusual requests - buttermilk with salt and pepper. 11/10! read more

The Parlor continues to be our go to neighborhood spot for happy hour. A little bummed their prices went up, but honestly we have been anticipating it based on how expensive it is to go out to eat anywhere. The happy pizza deal is still a value for slices (which is actually a 1/4 of their pie). And now you can select from any pizza on the menu (it used to be a limited selection). They also are offering full pizza for $15 as a special. We always sit at the bar and love that we have become regular enough that they know us and give us great service! read more

Great food and service. Parking is a little hard, I would recommend this place. Pizza is great.

Original Review ---------------------------- I feel that this review may be a little unfair, but that it still needs to be said. For the record, everyone there was very nice. We were not able to try their pizza. Not because they were particularly busy, but because there were no seats for me. I'm 65, I am a big guy (ok, I'm fat). I have mobility issues. They have those high stool-esque chairs. Climbing up into one of those at my age and size, even if I managed it, would be terribly uncomfortable. We went to a booth. Also a step up, and I couldn't fit. There were regular tables against the wall, we were informed that they were all reserved. If you are a person of size. If you are in a wheelchair. If you have any sort of mobility issues ... this is not the place for you. I hope they fix this. I am perfectly willing to give it another try at some point. We will probably order take out sometime. For now I am putting this at three stars, just because I feel that is the right thing to do. Lower would feel a bit mean, higher, well, they don't rate higher. But for now, this is a place that is not friendly to someone like me. ------------------------- And an update We ordered two pizzas for take out. I have not had local Detroit pizza, so I have no frame of reference as to the accuracy of their pizza, but they are very tasty. It resembles Chicago deep dish, but the crust is much lighter and fluffier. They go quite light on the ingredients, which works very well. The pizzas are very flavorable. We had the Here You Come Again and the Working Class Hero. The HYCA has pepperoni, marguez sausage and bacon with a red sauce. This is the way to go if you like typical midwestern pizza. The pepperoni is mild, but blends in well with everything else. The sausage is lovely, also a very subtle flavor. The bacon is, well, bacon. How can you go wrong? The sauce has a nice mild tang to it. All in all this is a very tasty, typical pizza, albeit with a different crust than you may be used to. The WCH is a little feral. It has a lovely heat, but it is a fair amount of heat. Both my wife and I had one slice and set the rest aside for lunch tomorrow. We ordered two because we didn't know how big they were, one would have fed us nicely. I am adding a star because the pizza is very tasty. If they address the accessibility issues, this could very easily get 5 stars from me. read more

It was our 1st time here and it was super positive. The server was super knowledgeable and attentive. We order a toasted focaccia appetizer and a house salad to split and both were tasty. We happened to arrive during happy hour one of use ordered the slices so they could try different pizza flavors I order a pizza of just one flavor and I would have to say that my dining companion was the winner... It is Detroit pizza and it is very authentic. You should check the place out because the food is great and the service is outstanding and the added bonus it is local! Support local y'all! read more

Overall a great spot in the Des Moines area! We came in on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't very busy, so we were able to get seated right away. We ordered the bacon wrapped dates as an appetizer which were wonderful, and for our pizza we did a half and half pizza with the Sweet Jane and I Shot the Sheriff. I slightly preferred the Sweet Jane, but both were very good. Portions are generous and the pizza itself doesn't feel too heavy. It almost feels like a nice focaccia bread with good cheese and toppings, so not as greasy as your typical pizza. It is Detroit style pizza, which if you've never had that, it's typically a square and has a thicker crust (which means you get these wonderful crispy cheese bits at the corner). I would return in a heartbeat and you should absolutely visit! read more

We love their food, but we've stopped going here because the service is always poor. We came to visit with children, and it took them 30 minutes to get drinks, even though we emphasized that we would like those as soon as possible. We had to eventually just send my wife up to get the drinks. They had three people to cover the bar, door, and all the tables. If you're willing to put up with a frustrating experience at the restaurant itself, the pizza is good. But there are other options. read more

First time at Parlor and did breakfast. Super good. Literally no complaints. Great quality breakfast. Huge, fluffy and buttery pancakes. Omelette came with the best potatoes. And definitely the toast must be pan fried to finish. And homemade preserves. Service was excellent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Feel like a hidden secret they do brunch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely coming back for pizza and beers next time. read more

Parlor - Forgot to take pic of food. Cute atmosphere. - Pizza Near Me - Des Moines, Iowa

I've now been here three times in a matter of months. My favorites include the I Shot The Sheriff and a vegan combo that has both house made vegan cheese and vegan chorizo! The pizza is my favorite but I've also enjoyed the humus platter and the Chickpea Fritters. The ambiance is casuals and family friendly but you could absolutely take a date. The beer, wine, and cocktail list are much better than you would expect given the price point and style. I also liked the non-alcoholic options. The service is friendly but not overbearing and the timing of everything coming out of the kitchen is spot on. I'm definitely a fan! read more

Went and got food and drinks with friends. 1st, the food was amazing! We all got Detroit style pizzas and they were some THICC slices. I got the "Jump In The Line" which was freaking delicious! 2nd, the drinks were great too, tied the meal and energy of the conversation nicely. Also our server, SUPER NICE AND KNOWS OUR VIBE, she gave us time to look over the menu and recommended options and made the night enjoyable and laughable for all of us! read more

An awesome Beaverdale pizza joint! Deep, crunchy edged, pan pizza with tons of flavor. This was our first time trying and and we are still not over the taste of the crust! We love pizza and trying new places but this is now on our list of places to come back to! We started with the empanadas and then we're wisely advised to do half and half pizza as it was going to be very filling for us two. Great recommendation as we didn't realize how deliciously thick and flavorful the crust is. I wanted the "proud Mary" which had cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, basil pesto and a red sauce. The other half was the "Here you come again" which was a great meat lovers type pizza. It had pepperoni, bacon, and Merguez sausage (we googled it was beef sausage) yummmmmm this was our favorite but both were very very good! I love this place and loved their menu. I saw sliders and other things on their menu that peaked my interest. Worth the drive to venture to this awesome pizza place tucked into the beaverdale area. read more

Wanted to like this place...and I'll definitely try it again...but the pizza was not the star of the night. Garlic knots were good. Marinara was very flavorful. But the pizza was bland and undercooked. Service was friendly but gave us the wrong drinks and then forgot one of our toppings (we didn't realize until it was too late). Atmosphere was nice though the parking is a little weird when leaving. read more

Pizza was nice and crispy and super cheesey. I like Detroit style but it's not my favorite. This one had a good fluffy bread to topping ratio so I was a huge fan. I got the 1/2&1/2, the pinball wizard and ain't it fun. It was $2 extra but so worth it. Tthe pinball has great eggplant and sausage on it and was a red based... the other side was white pizza with mushrooms, goat cheese, and caramelized onions. Both of them were excellent but the onions on the AINT it fun put me over the edge in love. The other thing I noticed was how well herbed it was. I love love love a good, herby pizza. It just really elevated it with the taste and aroma. Service was great. Also apparently they do happy hour daily 2-5p, $3 slices. read more

Parking: They have a pretty small parking lot, but finding parking was tricky on a Friday night regardless; had to park a few blocks away in a different lot. Atmosphere: Very chic and clean and has a subtle music theme throughout some of the decor and fun menu item names. Two huge garage doors open up on one side for nice weather to extend the inside out. Seating: booths, bar, and high top tables. Food/drink: Delicious! Not just a pizza place that throws together their pies, but thoughtfully crafted food with ingredients that pair so well. Our app was AMAZING and so unique and recommended by our awesome waiter (shoutout Cory!). Detroit style pizza was so flavorful on a crispy, yet thick, and pillowy crust. read more

Had takeout. Second time. Mary Jane pizza. Overcharged by $2. Cold and bland. not sure we'll go back.

Exactly what you're hoping a new restaurant experience to be! Fun, yet classy vibe. Good music playing. Kind staff. Cool aesthetic. And the food, the food! We ordered two pizza and did 1/2and 1/2 on each of them so we could try 4 pizzas we also did gluten free on one. The gluten free crust was, in my opinion even bette than the original crust because it had a light texture still while still maintaining the crisp crust. Will be back to try the apps and finish out the pizza choices! read more

Detroit style deep dish pizza that has nice and crispy edges. They also recently began doing brunch on the weekends which was pretty good.

Detroit style pizza. Very good. Nice crisp thick crust. In and out door seating. Good flavor Nice selection of beers too Give it a try?? read more

I have had Detroit style pizza multiples times and this was not it. The cheese was not good and the pizza was dry.

Our first time here tonight. Awesome! We chose 2 pizzas. Stand By Me - spinach, mushrooms, onion, tomatoes and peppers. It was delicious. A tomato based selection. Our other choice was the You're So Vain - spinach, artichoke, olive, honey and mozzarella. So good!! Did I mention the crust? It has crunchy cheese wrapped around the edge of the crust. It's not deep dish and it's not thin crust. A happy in between. This is a well kept secret pizza joint in Des Moines. You have to check it out. For dessert we had the Chocolate Crunch Ice Cream Bar. Just try it. One of the best desserts in town. A definite restaurant on our return soon list. read more

The food was amazing!! Servers were very attentive and food was served in a timely manner. Atmosphere is super chill and fun. 10/10 recommend read more

The bread. Omg the bread. We got the meatball and it came with focaccia. While the meatball was good, the bread took the cake. I could've eaten like six pieces of that and have been satisfied. The pizza was also top-notch. I LOVE Detroit-style pizza--that slightly burnt cheese. Mmmm! The crust was very similar to the bread. I'd highly recommend this new addition to Beaverdale! Vegetarian options available! read more

Food was great, the manager of the bar seems very unqualified for her position. was only focused on a few select people while ignoring everyone else came off very rude and to be quite frank, I could've went and I know for sure the family sitting at the table behind me with the two small children could've also went without hearing the conversations she was having with the select few she was giving her attention to I can only assume that the amount of alcohol shots she was serving herself and one of her waitresses could have possibly contributed to this behavior. very unprofessional definitely not a good look for what seem to be a higher end pizza place... the immaturity and the unprofessionalism was extremely unfortunate read more

Good pizza, and now a lot more variety to the menu beyond pizza. Brunch was really good! Can't beat the patio and open dining space. And free shuffleboard! read more

Probably one of the best restaurants in Des Moines. Good service, excellent cocktails and you don't have to drive 14 hours for good pizza.

I really wanted to like this place. The pizza was close to Detroit style but not quite the. When we asked the manager about different items on the pizza that were not mentioned on the menu his answer was "OH". Trying to figure out the items to order on a pizza we're not listed. You had to look at the menu and pick and choose from the pre fixed options. I don't think we can recommend this place. We do love other places owned by this same group. Our waiter was not helpful whatsoever. read more
