Heard them yelling at each other (about us) in the kitchen while waiting for the remake, despite asking a refund instead. My brother ordered for his dinner, but is allergic to the excessive onions they added, despite telling them ahead. I tagged along for support, as he has some health issues and is not always able to speak up for himself. Not worth the trouble, the visit back, and definitely not worth the price ($25 +fees for just a medium pizza). The remake looked okay, and they added in dessert breadsticks on the house, but still left us with an overall bitter aftertaste.

We went on a weekday during happy hour and there was lots of seating and ample free parking…read more Their happy hour deals were nice, they had a wine deal where you get a double pour, so you pay for one glass but they give you a glass with double the wine content. It was a lot of wine but a good deal! The only thing that was difficult is their printed wine menu is different from what they had available. The waitress was nice so she got some recommendations from the bartender and we were able to choose wine that way. The pizza was great, some of the best we have had in Coralville. Their pasta tasted fresh and homemade, I am not sure if it is but that was the vibe we got. The broccolini was hot!! Not in a straight out of the oven way, but in an it carries some heat way. We thought maybe there was chili oil on it? But even though we weren't expecting the heat, they were super good. The only downside to the meal was the crème brûlée, it bothers me when the top isn't crispy. Normally, you use the spoon to kind of break the sugar glass on top (i think it's sugar?) and I was sad when the sugar on top was missing from half of it. I think to make it you use a blowtorch to melt the sugar on top (?) idk how it works, but whatever that step is I think it was missed. Other than that great food and drinks!

Wow. Ambiance. Legit. Food most importantly amazing. The basic cheese dish pizza, which is happy…read morehour is filling for one person and can also be split for two. The ranch dressing was amazing.

Every time my family comes to visit they ask if we can get Roscoes, and I just can't say no. The amount of melty cheese is the perfect crust to cheese ratio, and they don't skimp on toppings. I also love that the sauce sits perfectly on top of the cheese because the crust doesn't soak it all up like normal pizzas to the point where you're missing that tomatoey goodness. Ah, perfection.

I visited family in Iowa City in 2025 and had pizza from here that I thought was pretty good, so I…read moretried it again in June 2026. It was a mistake. First the food. I have never experienced such an overdose of salt. Nothing would extinguish the thirst. I tried it a second time, eating a smaller amount the leftovers, with the same result. Even if it had enough salt omitted to be edible, it was very unremarkable pizza, all three of them. Much of it was thrown away. And the ordering. Their web presence is extremely confusing. My siblings who have lived there for years still can't figure out how many locations there are among Iowa City, Coralville and North Liberty, or how to control who you order from. We ordered three pizzas but then couldn't tell for sure that we ordered from Iowa City. So we called the Iowa City location to be sure they had our order, and they said yes, ready in 30 minutes. My niece drove there, to be told they knew nothing about it. They finally figured out that it went to a different location, so she drove quite a distance and eventually found it. The staff were not interested. Fortunately they have an email address where you can write them about your experience. Unfortunately, they will not reply. Very expensive and time consuming experience for food we couldn't eat. (We had much better results getting one made at Hy-Vee, far better pizza for around half the price.)

It was the final day of Thanksgiving Break. The Sunday Scaries were setting in and all the…read moreleftovers in the fridge sounded... uh, less than stellar. I threw out a few options to the fam and pizza won them over. Alas... the freezer was stocked with frozen options but that both sounded like too much work and again, uh, less than stellar. I popped on CHOMP Delivery to see what could be brought to my door. At that time and on that day there were a handful of options. Huzzah! Wig & Pen East to the rescue! While the Flying Tomato is the GOAT of all pizzas in the area (I will die on that hill) we were feeling less cheese and more sauce. (I was saddened to see the Detroit Style 'za is not slung at this location.) We opted for the Chicago Style. It's a stuffed deep dish pizza loaded with mozzarella and topped with a chunky sauce on top. Tomatoey perfection. It is sublime as is but we also got half with pepperoni, for good measure. Additionally, I am a sucker for breadsticks. Wig & Pen East has a lot of options! From the tried the true garlic bread to the cheese filled breadsticks. (Bosco sticks, anyone?) We got the ladder, because-- uh why not? The food came on time. The pricing is pretty standard-- we opted for the large and had plenty of leftovers. Each slice is very, very filling. The pie itself was perfection. The crust is so light and flakey. The four breadsticks that came hit the spot. Overall, the Sunday Scaries were forgotten for a time and I didn't have to cook. I'll consider that a win! Check their website out and order truly anything but especially the Flying Tomato or Chicago Style. You won't regret Wig (though you may need to unbutton your pants after indulging).

With an ETA of forty-five minutes, the pie was there in less than thirty. The crust was perfect, you could taste that the cheese was not far from the utter.

The wife and I are in town to attend an event at the University of Iowa and we just needed a place to grab a quick dinner on the way back to the hotel after a long day of traveling. We sat at the bar, and as mentioned, the bartender was friendly and attentive. We ordered cheddar bacon fries as an appetizer and a small thin crust Lola Pizza - which had spinach, garlic, red onions and pepperoncini peppers. The cheddar bacon fries probably sat in the window because they were delivered with the pizza. Not a huge deal, but they weren't very flavorful. The pizza was better.. crispy crust, good sauce to toppings ratio, but sadly it really didn't stand out enough for me to recommend Sam's. There are just too many better options downtown for better food.

When the food came out, the chicken tasted extremely rubbery like it was recooked in a microwave and the alfredo sauce had no flavor. My girlfriends tortellini was refrigerator cold in the middle with her sauce being watered down. When we said something to the young manager, she attempted to remake the tortellini but only to recieve the same results. Cold in the middle and watered down sauce. This place does not serve fresh food, it felt and tasted like yesterday's leftovers! Even the so called garlic bread was no better than buttered toast with a sprinkle of garlic powder. So with our full plates of food on the table, we left on our way out we spoke to the young manager. We told her how horrible the food was and how dissatisfied we were with their establishment. We just recieved a reply of, we're sorry and have a better evening. We will definitely not be returning to this establishment!! DO NOT eat here, it is a complete waste of your money and time!! As well as potentially giving you food poisoning with undercooked food!
