Reviews of Taste of New York Pizza
The pizza was good, and I didn't know what to pick from there amazing selection. The lasagna pizza was good, but the meat was not what I was expecting. I would not turn down a slice, but I also would not order it again. Their specialty pizza was delicious and I would happily eat another slice of the floppy goodness.
Just went here tonight for the first time and this is coming from an (East Coast guy) !
I was raised in CT right next to NY, I've been to NYC many times in my life, pretty much spent 26 years on the east coast and I can confidently say this.... This pizza is the closest you're going to get to NYC pizza in the state of Iowa!
We ordered the garlic knots and the Margherita pizza along with a regular cannoli.
Total order came out to around $35 , The pizza cost $25, the knots for 5 was about $5 and the cannoli was $4.
I went ahead and asked one of the workers the story behind the place and with great detail and a friendly attitude was told the owners of the shop came to Iowa from NY and quite a few of the workers were from NY as well !
Very nice atmosphere in there, friendly staff, and AMAZING food !!
Those pizza ovens were HOT, all our food came out in about 15 minuets and we tore into our dinner right in the parking lot, couldn't have been more pleased with the meal.
The cannoli filling was delicious, soft, velvety and tasted so fresh, the shell was crispy and perfectly cooked.
The knots were soft with crispy peaks and edges yet fluffy,soft and full of flavor !!
And finally that pizza was delicious!!!
Steaming hot, crisp bottom , beautifully cooked and thin just like in NY! the dough however is made in house, doesn't come from NYC itself but I'm sure the recipe comes from NY.
We will absolutely be returning here and the slices are massive !
Great deal
WONDERFUL. I love NY style pizza and these guys nailed it. Very pleasant staff helped me out and got me a fantastic slice of classic NY Pepperoni pizza and a Pepperoni "bread roll" which was delicious and similar to a Stromboli. Love every bite, just the right amount of juicy flavor. Probably ate too much! Lol. I live out of town in Ankeny but I'm definitely coming back. Amazing.
Absolutely delicious 👌
Definitely on top my list of top 3 pizzas in Iowa !
I had the Sicilian Pizza and it was 🔥🔥🔥 a must try !! Don't call yourself a pizza lover if you live here and haven't had it lol 😆
We have ordered from taste of New York AT LEAST once a month for the past year since we discovered them. The only place we get pizza from. We tell everyone about them and everyone who’s had them says they’re top tier. We mostly get pizza but have once or twice tried other items off the menu and were pleased. Love supporting them, from what I am told owner is a great man as well. What a treat
My favorite pizza in the entire city! The kitchen staff there cranked out one great pizza after another last night while the restaurant was slammed. Glad to see them busy - our food was definitely worth the wait! If you're feeling impatient, it is really easy to order ahead of time through various apps. The estimated time provided was really accurate, too
Pizza was fabulous! We also got cheesy garlic knots and fried raviolis. Everything was delicious and we’ll definitely be reordering in the future!
We only ordered Togo so this is strictly based off food quality!
Got pizza from the new waukee location on 9/1. Friendly staff of course (always are) but the dough was way too tough. Could really taste the flour, and there was no flop. Very dense. Still giving 4 stars because I believe they will resolve this. The JC location is perfect. Just a little tweaking to the new location needed.
The best pizza in Des Moines by far. This place sells by the slice or the whole pie, and everything is delicious. Come by and try a slice, you won't be disappointed. Wish I could give more than 5 stars
A Great place to get Authentic "New York" style Pizza. Tastes like it was made in Brooklyn, Great crust, fresh toppings and probably the BEST pizza I've tasted!! Barstool sports would brobably rate it a 9.7 to a perfect 10 !!!!
Pizza to big for the box ! Huge & Delicious … great staff!!!! Thanks it was Awesome !
The pizza is authentic and tastes great. Be sure to adhere to the time when they estimate it will be done, I would not recommend to arrive early, or you will wait.
This pizza was exactly what we were looking for. We were craving New York style pizza. The sausage was cut pepperoni style which was interesting to us but still good. Make sure you order early on a Friday night because there will be a wait. The only thing I wish is that their were small size pizzas. We only saw large of the menu.
Truly a unique experience in the Midwest. I've had several friends from the east Coast give their review of "It holds up" which is the best praise short of saying better than New York.
Incredible pizza restaurant! My fiance and I were in the area and in mood for pizza and found this place. It's the best pizza we've ever had! We ordered the lasagna pizza and only got through about half of it; thank God for the box the owner gave us; it lasted for lunch the next day!
Reminds me of the pizza back in new york. Best pizza I have ever eaten. The garlic knots are amazing too. I am definitely telling all my friends and family about this restaurant
This is as close as you will get to New York pizza in DSM. It's good. The place is small and they do good business during normal meal hours, so be prepared to take your slice with you. The TONY is good, but the lasagna pizza is better. Calzones are ok, but you shouldn't be here for them.
So being from Connecticut I have been looking for this pizza style in Iowa. I must say, spot on!!!
Thanks for bringing a slice of home to me since moving to Iowa.
My new favorite place.
Large bacon... Divine!
Great food! We definitely have leftovers! Only bummer is the paper plates... I get the authenticity of it all, but I would have liked getting multiple paper plates or thicker ones to stop grease from leaking through!
Good lunch place for a quick bite or share a pie with friends. Their white pizza was delicious; I'd order over and over.
Best pizza in all of iowa! Reminds me so much of home! Definitely a must! You'll never want any other pizza again!
The pizza is awesome .. To the person who said walk across the street to the food court and it's better , umm ya right ... Maybe that review was a competitor.. great NYC style pizza......
With so many pizza joints around these days its not easy to find authnetic new york style thin crust pizza. This place wins hands down. Its without a doubt the best thin crust pizza i've had in west des moines. Keep up the good work!!!
Only place worth eating at in the Jordan Creek area. Pizza here is always a treat.
Best pizza out here, period. This is true east coast pizza and it's the only place we get pizza from because it's the best.
It was an OK pizza as far as they go. I chose the pepperoni pizza to see ehat they were made of. It was unfortunate that they have no salami, or capicola pizzas, i dont think they even have feta in the store. If there are options for these they are not on the menu. The pepperoni pizza was extremely greasy and that caused a loss in cheese flavor. They were on time, but pick up is 40 minutes which is a long time for a pizza. The girl at the register was apathetic at best. Three stars is because i'd go there again, but do not let them settle for mediocrity when there is no better place in town for good pizza.
Seek this place out to get a cheese pizza slice was for my toddler and I ended up eating half of it! The crew was was efficient and friendly. Locals are lucky to have a place like this in the area with a quality ny style pizza. I'd frequent more if I lived in the area.
Amazing. Went yesterday for the first time. Had a slice of the white pizza, the "meat lovers" and meatballs as an appetizer. I almost died and went to heaven. Red sauce is phenomenal. Everything was incredibly delicious. My family and i will be eating this pizza from now on.
Never been to NY but this place was amazing! Best pizza I've ever had. 2 slices of Tony's special and I was done. Bravo sir!
Had a slice of the margherita and lasagna pizza, it was really good but the lasagna was a bit thick on toppings for me. One thing to note that worried me before coming was the pics on Google because all the pizza looked like it had gotten cold sitting out but they actually take what you order and throw it in the oven for a few minutes so it's nice and fresh every time. I will definitely be coming back.
So delicious -- this is my favorite pizza place in the DSM area. (We don't live in the area, but it's worth the drive!) The flavor is strong, the texture is exactly right, and the portions are huge! Service has always been good -- thanks everyone!
This is authentic New York pizza. The owners are from Brooklyn and so are hispanic pizza makers working with them. I know it's authentic I am also from there.
Edit.
They opened a new location in Waukee. 769 se alice rd. They even serve beer and other drinks.
OK this was really surprisingly good. I thought it was going to be just another pizza joint, but it has a unique atmosphere and pizza style.
Absolutely fantastic. I love the buffalo chicken pizza here, it's the best I've had. Pizza pies are HUGE. One pizza could feed a family of four. Check it out!
I've traveled to Des Moines fairly regularly over the years to see family and friends who have lived there. To date, we've found the food scene somewhat underwhelming. That all changed last night with a visit to Taste of New York Pizza. We tried a wide assortment of pizzas, that were each unique and delicious in their own way. The lasagna pizza was amongst the best I've ever had. Kent, the gentleman working up front, was incredibly friendly, patient and helpful towards us. We really appreciated the great food, great customer service, and the reminders of our trip to NYC. It really was an authentic Taste of New York Pizza.
I'm from NY so I'm very picky about my pizza.
taste of NY was delicious!!!
Absolutely the best pizza I've had in iowa. To top off the spectacular food their customer service is above and beyond. I will absolutely be coming back several times!
Pizza so good your taste buds will pop. 2 slices and couldn't see my plate
First time ordering and it was exactly the thin crust, foldable, cheesy delicious we hoped it would be! Definitely our new go-to.
Amazing! We tried the pizza for the first time last night. The food was incredible!
The pizza and wings were top notch. I worked in the Southside pizza business years ago - this place definitely beats those pizzas.
Well worth the price for a pizza. It will feed a family or you will be eating off of it for a few days. It is so good, that I plan on having a slice with breakfast today.
The only issue - it is so good that I may never want to get a pizza elsewhere!
We highly recommend it. Thanks for everything.
Love Taste of NY! Amazing pizza. We ordered online tonight and they happened to be out of a slice we ordered - they called right away to ask if we can substitute for a different slice and we happily obliged - when we picked up our order they threw in extra slices and garlic knots as courtesy. Can’t beat their service or prices!
Best Pizza in all of Iowa! They have so many different types to choose from and they all taste delicious! I also really love the Chicken Parmigiana Roll! Also the Staff is super friendly and very welcoming! It’s an all around Amazing experience! I highly recommend!
Tonight a man in a suit jacket delivered my family and I pizza and fried ravioli 30 minutes faster than anticipated. The sauce is flavorful, the cheese is generous, and the crust has a good flop to the center and crunch at the edge. Grab the arancini too, great stuff. Had this place twice now and it’s top tier, they don’t miss on flavor.
Best pizza in Iowa hands down. The prices are suiting due to the uniqueness of the food. You are able to grab a slice on the go or order a huge pizza unlike any other place. Slices take just a few minutes! Everything is either freshly made from scratch or shipped from New York! The workers are very kind and never fail to be considerate.
The price and the quality of the food is amazing. Definitely recommend it.
Came by with my sister today for a casual little lunch and was absolutely so surprised by how good the food was. I ordered the shrimp fra diavolo, and my sister had the veggie lasagna. Both were so delicious the generous portions were completely devoured before it occurred to either of us to take a picture. Can’t recommend this place enough.
On top of the delicious food, our server Covey was so awesome. Funny, polite, and knowledgeable. This is my first time eating at a physical restaurant in months because of the pandemic and he truly made it a wonderful experience.
The food here is very tasty, and if you get one if the rolls, very cheap. The reason this is not a higher rating is that of the four things we ordered, two were wrong. We ordered a rice ball and roll and both were very good, but had the wrong fillings.
If you have someone with allergies in your group, I would recommend avoiding this place. We have a friend who is deathly allergic to green peppers who would have been in trouble last night with what happened to our order.
AMAZING. I was born in Delaware and visited NY a number of times. Always missed NY style pizza on the east coast. This place truly is authentic and sooo delicious. Everything tastes fresh. The slices are huge. I also love the mozzarella spinach rolls. Easily my new favorite pizza place in Iowa. You won’t be disappointed if you go here.
Really tasty pizza by the slice. Skip the rice balls.
We ordered a slice of the white pizza as well as a whole pepperoni pizza. The white pizza came out first and it was without a doubt the best crust I have ever eaten anywhere including New York! When the whole pepperoni pizza came out I was very disappointed in that the crust was nothing special at all. I have no idea if it was how they prepare a fresh versus reheated Pizza or if it was something in the crust itself. Overall this place has the potential to be as good as any pizzeria in New York City.
Surprisingly authentic and very tasty. I was in new York a few months ago and went into a place just like this for a slice.
Pizza slices are big! One slice should be enough. Reasonably priced and they also have to-go ordering so you can get yourself a pizza to take home.
Decorated well for the theme of the place. Take a minute to actually look at some of the wall decor. The owner was an NYPD officer and has some of his medals and things on the walls.
Definitely worth checking out.
Had a friend (who used to live in NY) in town that was craving New York style pizza. Came over to Taste of New York and they certainly delivered! Friend and I were more than pleased. Also a great environment with good decor. Definitely recommend.
Well, I am not one to usually post about my experiences. But after going to Taste of New York Pizza recently, I had to. The place is extremely clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. We ordered a cheese pie, garlic knots, rice ball with sauce and cheese, and tried their baked pasta with vodka sauce. Nothing was left, we ate it all. Absolutely delicious... can't wait to go back.
Great pizza and very friendly staff. I'm only giving 4 stars because their dine in area is pretty small and gets very busy.
Amazing pizza every time. The crust is perfect with just the right amount of crunch at the end. Taste of new York never disappoints, don't let the prices scare you away, you get quality pizza that will excite your taste buds with each bite when you stop into this pizza shop. If you want a great slice of pizza this is the place to get it.
The best pizza in Iowa! I am reminded of back home everything I order from here. I have become a regular at Taste of New York and the staff is first class! I definitely recommend the Lasagna slice and some garlic knots.
Tonight, I went to Taste of New York in West Des Moines for dinner. I had never heard of this establishment before last night when a friend said she wanted to try it. I'm really disappointed I hadn't heard of it until now; this is definitely a hidden gem!
When you order, you have the option to order a full pizza or pizza by the slice, and since I'd never been here, I chose two different slices: BBQ chicken pizza and traditional pepperoni. The slices come out piping hot and only take a couple of minutes to come out after ordering. The crust is crispy and everything is proportioned perfectly (no flavor overbears the slice) and the slices are huge and reasonably priced. The BBQ chicken pizza has a tangy BBQ sauce with a generous portion of juicy chicken pieces and is absolutely amazing. The friends I was with got the Italian ice and said it's absolutely wonderful (after deciding which flavor to get out of the 10 or so flavors).
Taste of New York was voted "Best pizza in Des Moines", and I definitely understand why. We will definitely be back, especially since it's a small, family owned restaurant versus a big chain. I highly recommend this authentic New York style pizza!
Tried this place for the first time last week and fell in love with it! Liked the variety in the menu, order was ready quickly, and food was delicious. Everything tasted fresh and real unlike pizzas from chain places, plus the portion sizes were huge! Definitely recommend eating here!
Recommended to try this pizza and couldn't be more pleased. Ordered Neapolitan slice and an order of their Garlic Knots. The pizza slice was HUGE and scrumptious. The Garlic Knots come in two or five, and have a Marinara Sauce that has bits of onion in it and was delicious as well. The knots are a twisted soft bread and herbs that are very filling. If you haven't tried it you are really missing out. Their menu is extensive and their pricing very friendly! Worth your time!
This place is just so, so good. I lived in the Bronx for a summer and it may be better than the spot on Arthur ave that we used to go to....that might be blasphemous but I'm definitely grateful to have this so close to my home now! One TONY and some garlic knots feeds the two of us for at least 2 meals if not 3!
The pizza is great, had it a few weeks ago, but this past weekend, we went to both locations (once Friday and once Saturday), and both were closed long before the posted hours of operation. If your hours have changed please update your information so others don’t waste time making a trip.
Tried this place last night. I lived in new York for 6 years and this pizza is spot on. Hands down some of the best pizza I've ever had. I highly recommend the lasagna pizza!! Will 100% be back. Nice work guys!
First time visit, woman working the counter seemed to have an attitude and was very short. They had taco pizza today which wasn't on the menu so I assume they do specials daily. While it was good it tasted nothing like taco pizza, though it's worth noting the crust is delicious. Also got the special rice ball with meat, delicious and huge. The food will definitely fill you up though it is a bit pricey. Very small place and busy over lunch. Would try again to see if I like another slice better and see if service improved.
I like the pizza. Their ranch is great. Most of all, the service! I work nearby, and stop in here before work a few times a week. There are a few other close spots I could eat at where the food is good, but the service is okay. These guys always have a great attitude, and are super helpful. I am also on the service industry, so stopping in a place with great customer service before work reminds me how important customer service is.
This place is as close as you can get to a real New York pizza. Today we tried a sausage and cheese calzone. It was large enough for 2 and absolutely delicious. We also had a margarita pie which also was yummy.
Also, like in New York, you can buy Individual slices so if you want a quick bite without leftovers just stop by.
Ordered take out, pizza was great!
Salad was huge and super fresh & tasty.
Calzone was pretty good too.
Friendly staff, good food!
Wish they were open on Sundays and Mondays though.
The two Pizzas that we get here are the Margarita and the Buffalo Chicken. These two pizzas are absolutely amazing! We have never eaten an entire Pizza when getting one due to the size.
I found best way to reheat is in a oven, just turn on broil and watch for the cheese to start to bubble and brown usually about 3-5 minutes.
We just moved here from Staten Island. We are so happy with finding pizza that tastes like the best in NY. The crust is thin, crisp and chewy with the right amount of salt. Real mozzarella and pepperoni. We are taking home a Marguerite pie and zeppolis. I am full already. The owners were so nice and they gave us a list of other NY owned shop for deli and bread. This place will be a regular.
I can't speak highly enough about the customer service here. I ordered food from here, had a little trouble with the delivery, and Taste of New York Pizza made it right 100%. They sent out fresh, hot pizza to us. It was worth the wait. The pizza was absolutely delicious. I recommend this place 5/5 stars for the food and because the business is run by people that care about customer service as much as the food. Will definitely be ordering from here again and again.
This pizza has a unique and delicious taste to it, though it's also sits heavier than a generic mid-west pizza would. If you're a foodie, you'll want to go here at least once.
I'd recommend trying their version of a pepperoni, and the lasagna.
While seating was tight. Food was quickly served. Be careful because the counter makes slices look small. They are huge hand stretched pieces of pies. The Pizza Margarita was good. Needed to be just a bit warmer so it would be stretchy. The garlic butter knots could also have used another few minutes in the oven. Very flavorful though, so don't go kissing vampires. Personally, while they use a good fresh red sauce, where I tend to prefer a long steeped and well seasoned version. Lastly we enjoyed the rice balls served with red sauce and topped with more cheese. I was hoping they would be like the sipoli orzo pasta balls I had in Rome. Close but not quite. Not bad by any means just not what my memory was going for. The service was kind for how busy it seemed to be. We will be back. The buffalo chicken looks very interesting.
Fast, friendly service, affordable prices. Great selections of pizza by the slice.
Omg I am from New york and this place is true to its name!!!! I live in Wisconsin now and haven't found anything remotely close to a NY pie there. I knew as soon as I saw their menu had "heros" and "zeppoles", I was going to be in for a treat! Definitely didn't mess around with extra cheese!!! Wow! So delish! The ONLY downside to this place is that it isn't in Wisconsin haha. We will be ordering another before we leave to take back with us. Thanks so much for giving us that taste of home we so desperately missed!!!
This place rivals some of the best pizza I've had up and down the east coast. The slices looked a little aged, but we ordered a full 18 inch pizza and garlic knots, both were amazing. Fresh, homeade ingredients on hand stretched dough. Just perfect!
I love New York pizza and this is the closest I've tasted that it's like the real thing. So good. And the gentleman who helped us was great with his customer service. Love it love it. I'm glad this place exist in Des Moines.
This pizza is incredible!!! The service a 10 out of 10. We tried the rice ball, the garlic knots, the pizza and dessert. It was all lovely!! Our server was great and his recommendations were on point.
The taste of New York Pizza, hummmm, lets put this way. If you ever lived in the NYC Metro area for any length of time, then this place will bring back pleasant and tasty memory's of your local pizzeria. Where the pizza is made excellent every time, the smell draws you every time, the cheese is the BOMB,the crust is explosive and the owners truly treat you like a family all the time. Now if you have NEVER experienced NYC pizza in NYC then come by and get a taste of New York Pizza - this place is thee best outside NYC in all USA!
Excuse me I need to go get a slice !!
So yummy! The wall art inside is awesome and the staff are very friendly. The pizza is fresh and the crust is crispy and delicious! The prices are very reasonable for a small business. Definitely one of my new favorite pizzerias.
I was born and raised in NY and this place has perfectly delicious, authentic NY pizza. They also have great hero's, calzones, garlic knots... everything you could ask for.
Excellent quality. I'm glad I don't have to fly home for a good slice, anymore.
Being a native New Yorker, this place makes me home sick!! This is true authentic New York style pizza!!!! As far as I'm concerned, this the THE BEST pizza in all of Des Moines!!! They also have the real Calzones, Sicilian pizza pies, Italian Ice and the Zeppoli is to die for!!! I always go back whenever I can. If you really want good pizza with a good variety of choices, this should be your only stop!! You won't regret it!!!!
This place has great pizza 🍕 For Iowa. I’ve been stopping by for the last few years. As for Customer service, I’ve had some great experiences and some bad—still my go-to for a slice. …
Best pizza I have ever had in all the traveling I have done for business. The staff was very friendly and the Sicilian thick crust pizza was to die for. I will be back again and again and again. Great job Taste of New York Pizza!
My new favorite pizza place. Its like a little taste of home for me. I always search for a pizza place that taste close to my hometown pizzaria and this is it. I won't get pizza anywhere else.
Wonderful, real NY pizza! Everything from the crust (perfect texture, folds without cracking) to the sauce to the toppings is amazing. The ONLY downside is it's pretty far from downtown Des Moines. Definitely worth the trip, though.
Amazing service! During our recent/first visit our 3year old was getting a little impatient so the staff kindly showed her how to make pizza and gave her a special treat while mom and dad finished up. So kind and the pizza was great too!! Will be going back.
The pizza was pretty good. Wish they would use fresh mushrooms instead of canned. The online ordering through Slice was terrible. The order had quite a lag in transmission to the restaurant and the update that my order would be ready in 20 minutes didn't come until I he already picked up my order and was back to work.
Good pizza. As the name would indicate, it's New York style so it's big floppy pieces meant to be folded. The toppings are big and plentiful and they sell it by the slice but you can also buy a whole pizza.
This is the best pizza in Iowa, hands down. It is authentic New York City pizza and it has become a family favorite in our home. You have got to give it a try, once you taste it you will be back over and over again.
The best pizza by far in Iowa. We moved from NY 13 years ago and missed the NY pizza. They are friendly and their food is awesome. We will drive an 1/2 hr for their pizza!! I wish they would open another place in Ankeny.
Whoa! I can see why the place was top rated via Yelp. The pizza rivals anything I've ever had in the state of Iowa period. I plan on trying other amazing selections they offer here but they have a customer for life and spread the word on these guys. Amazing pizza!
Second visit after a disappointing first one several months ago. Meh. The pizza is fine, nice sauce. It's the service that is annoying. They act like it's an imposition to make you a pizza. I get it, New York attitude with NYC pizza. But this is Iowa. We're nice to customers here.
Located in the old Nick-n-Willy's Take-and-Bake space, they didn't have to do much more than some kitchen mods and throw up some New York-ish wallpaper to get this place going. They're even using some of the old exterior signage.
This is primarily a by-the-slice pizza place/ They have a fixed menu limited to twelve different slices. Might be nice if they did a unique "slice of the day" or something to add a little variety. You can order full 18" pies with whatever toppings you want to take home.
The slices are great, the best in town that I know of. My favorite is their signature "T.O.N.Y." (pepperoni, meatballs, sausage). Probably the most unique slice is Lasagna...a slice of pizza that really does taste like lasagna.
They also have sandwiches, salads, and rolls. Haven't tried them.
This is by far the BEST PIZZA IN IOWA!!!! I moved to Des Moines from east coast and finally found a fantastic place with awesome pizza the way pizza is supposed to be made...
Iowans seem to think pizza is suppose to be thick and spicey, NOT.... Send these people to Taste of New York to learn the art of making awesome pizza....
This is the best pizza hands down in Des Moines. If you Love pizza especially NY pizza this place is for you.
Good food, bad service. I went for lunch, it wasn't busy, I ordered 1 slice to go from a pizza that was already out. It took 7 minutes for them to physically hand me my slice of pizza. The whole time the cashier was on her phone, only ringing out two other customers in the mean time. The other workers spent most of their time rotating pizzas in and out of the warmer instead of preparing the orders (putting pizza on paper plates).
First time trying a taste of New York! A co worker of mine recommended them Bc we work pretty much across the street from them and Wow certainly was not disappointed! Only thing I wish was that you could taste more of the sauce. Other than that tastes very homemade and authentic will definitely return.
People, put down your Dominos, your Papa John's, and your Pizza Hut. Check this place out. I just went in for the first time and the food is on point. Guy there Nick, great guy. Great pizza. He was like a street artist but with pizza and I thought I was back in New York getting a slice after a Red Soxs win. Will definitely be back.
Oh wow! Their pizza tastes so good! Always fresh! All their other meals are delicious. I try to have something new every time we go there, so far everything was delicious!!
This place is so good and true to NY style pizza. Place is pretty small and popular so it was a bit packed, and took awhile since the pizza is freshly made... definetely worth the wait though.
As a NY native I have to say, I was impressed!!! Delicious food, excellent service- everyone was very friendly, the restaurant was clean, and I loved the decor. Made me feel like I was sitting a local pizza spot in Brooklyn. If you are in the area, this place is a must try!
Imagine the best NY style pizza you ever had. Then take a bite. I bet you can't tell you aren't in New York. Perfect crust, good sauce. Nice topping proportions. You get eye contact and a smile when you step up to the counter, unlike some of those chains.
Absolutely love it, pizza is the best in Iowa to my knowledge, and the owner is great. I think her name is Joyce
I've tried to find a better pizza joint in DSM and I've yet to find it. Sure I'll snag a gas station pizza now and again, but when I'm looking for something top notch Taste of NY hits the spot!
I am a native New Yorker that misses New York pizza. Taste of New York is the most authenic NY pizza that you will find in all of Iowa. If you have not tried their pizza then it's a must to take the whole family out for dinner there.
Finally REAL authentic Italian pizza just like in Brooklyn and Manhattan! Very friendly staff and great delivery service. Wish we had one on the Southside of Des Moines. The white pizza is fantastic!
Had the buffalo chicken pizza and garlic knots. Pizza was really good. Garlic knots needed more flavor and marinara sauce wasn't very thick and not a lot of seasoning
Im not sure why this x cop from NY is here in Iowa making pizzas....but thank god he is!!!!! You will never find a NY style pizza anywhere close, that is this authentic. Its a must have pizza. I highly recommend it to all pizza lovers
Being someone who works on the road quite a bit... I would have to say that( taste of New York).. has a great atmosphere, customer service and food to go with.. thank you guys. you're a lasagna pizza was delicious.
The Margherita pizza is absolutely amazing!
Excellent pizza. Fantastic crust. Does "taste like new York"
Lasagna style and Tony special tasted just like the nine years I lived in Manhattan. Garlic knots were perfect. Meatballs were delicious. Great all the way around. Will be stopping here often
Best New York style pizza I've had in town. Went there over lunch and got 2 slices and it was amazing.Got Tony's Special and a Sicilian deep dish. Both were awesome.
Best pizza in Iowa, hands down! Only NY style pizza I've had in Iowa that rivals actual NY pizza. In the top 5 pizzas I have had in the country, and I've done a lot of travelling.
Slices are filling and delicious. Not a fan of the rice balls, personally, but my SO loves them. But hey, if you make great pizza you don't need anything else!
This is honestly the best pizza I've ever tasted. I would eat this everyday for a week if I could. If you want good pizza and really good garlic knots highly recommend you go here.
On my first time ever in Des Moines for a short business trip I found this gem. The food and atmosphere were both amazing beyond description! I recommend the garlic knots and Neopolitan Pizzza for anyone who finds themselves in Des Moines or lives anywhere close. And meeting the owners was a privilege too. Can’t wait to go back! Thank you for a fantastic experience, Savelli family!
Running around keeping up. Manager was awesome, he went to everyone dining in to talk and make sure they were doing ok and if the food was good. My kids were amazed by how big the slices were and how awesome it all tated!
One of the best pizza places in Iowa! I've never personally had true New York pizza l, but if it's as good as there's I need to go to New York!
I was skeptical but this is really good NY style street pizza. It's really worth checking out. I got a pepperoni and a plain cheese. Both were great
Very good pizza!! Worth the cost since it is so big and very NY style. Would definitely recommend.
It really is a taste of NY. I know, born and raised in NY. Left 48 years ago and constantly searching for good pizza and street side hot dogs. No hot dogs here but their pizza is a winner.
Best pizza in Des Moines area by far. Growing up on the East coast, I have had some great Pizza. I would put Tatse of New York up against any of them. You wil not be disappointed!
Excited to find this terrific tasting giant pizza. Nice greek salad, too. Will be seeing me often.
We swung through on a road trip from Chicago to Omaha and grabbed lunch. The pizza was excellent and totally authentic NY style! Yummy!
pizza its good I think its to pricy. Owner of New York Pizza Come on you are not in New York anymore prices are to high !!!! $24.00 for a pizza pie ?? you are in Iowa now not much people will pay that amount of money for a pizza. $8.50 for a salad? rethink your prices
Thank You.
On my visit to friends in Desmoines, Iowa I order pizza which was delicious and specially the smoothies that I ordered and krishi is an excellent employee thanks krishi Great smoothies!!! 100% recommend
Taste of New York has the best pizza around! No one can come close to their buffalo chicken slices. Can't wait to try their pastas this week.
We love to stop for a quick slice. The pizza is great, they have a nice variety of ready made slices, and the place is kid friendly (fast, low key, and a steady supply of cheese and pepperoni).
The only place in Iowa we've found, with pizza just like back in New York! Our favorite pizza place.
Wife and I ordered a Chicken Parmesan roll, a stromboli, and some garlic knots. The Stromboli was packed tight with several meats and cheese, the roll looked great, and the knots were as expected. Plenty of leftovers taken home made this a two meal trip.
Love this place, pizza is great, people are great, lots of New York vibes in the place and make you feel like you are there in the city. probably one of the best pizza places in Des Moines/West Des Moines.
The food is amazing, and always fresh. And the slices, true to New York form are huuuuuge! The owner is a retired NYPD Officer which is cool too! I always prefer to spend my money at veteran and leo owned businesses, it means they know what standards and quality are!
My favorite pizza in all of Des Moines. I've never been to New York myself but some of my friends have and they say it really does taste just like it!
The pizza here is delicious! Even my 4 kids love ❤️ it! Can’t wait to get my family in there to try the new pasta dishes. Definitely worth a visit!
Best pizza I’ve had in Iowa by a landslide. Friendly staff, fast service, incredible pizza. Thanks, Taste if NY!
The Chicken Bacon Ranch pizza is simply amazing. Easily some of the best pizza I've ever had
Excellent NY style pizza. Top quality ingredients and crust. I would highly recommend.
Always good and hot...two slices hit the spot! Authentic New York City style pizza and served the same way as if you were in the Big Apple...delish!👌 …
Honestly, going to Taste of New York is like going to the actual city. All the food is delicious and the garlic knots with cheese are my absolute favorite. Love this place and I highly recommend!
The BEST pizza! We always order the meat pizza and always enjoy it!! Thanks Taste of New York for coming to West Des Moines!
Delicious!! One of, if not THE best pizza places on the planet!! I'm impressed. My first time there tonight, and I just became a regular!!
Small shop, but fantastic pizza. I had a slice of buffalo chicken pizza, and a slice of bbq chicken. Both were cooked well, with thin crispy crust. Lots of chicken in each bite.
The pizza and canollis are both fantastic. Next time I'll be trying a calzone. The prices seem expensive, buy the pizzas are huge. Combined with the consistently high quality, it's totally worth it.
Wow, is the only description i can think of about the taste! And talk about HUGE slices!! Second time going there, food was just as good as the first time. Will continue to go to this establishment!
Awesome New York style pizza served by the slice.
There are a few very good novelty pizza restaurants in the Des Moines area worth checking out but if you want a regular slice of pizza, Taste of New York is by far the best.
I really can't find anything bad to say about this place. They take pride in what they do and that is becoming hard to find anymore. Great food, great service and it's consistent time and time again. I placed an order online the other day that had a special request, and they called to verify exactly what we wanted. That was going above and beyond in my book.
Amazing pizza, large slices, fresh and good selection. Best pizza I've had outside of New York hands down.
East coast pizza in a Midwest town. Love it. Coming from NJ/NY i thought I was going to miss eat coast style pizza. These guys nail it. Online ordering too... Full win in my book.
Excellent pizza. Once of the best slices I have had in Iowa. Also, pasta was very good. Recommended.
Phenomenal pizza and slice selection!
Great thin crust pizza by the slice. A lot of different toppings to choose from.
I grew up in the Northeast and miss great pizza. Finally Taste of New York arrived, and we now have a great pizza place in Iowa.
Very good pizza, garlic knots, calzones! We loved it. Kids did, too. We all said we have to come back before we go back home to Arkansas.
Great place to get a slice of New York style pizza. Great crust and interesting flavors. You can also find calzone and salad.
Amazing! I'm a native Brooklyn, New Yorker. Born and raised and do trust I know New York pizza. This is by far as close to home as they get. I have them on speed dial. In fact I'm heading there right now!!! 🙌 …
First time here. The sell by the slice or a huge 18inch pizza. We got two slices and garlic knotts. Very good
Huge 18" pizzas. Great dough. Seems to be pretty authentic NY style. They filled a 10 pizza catering order on a day they were closed. Great service!
I'm from the Bronx and I feel like I've stepped into a NY pizzeria where you can order pizza by the slice. The food was amazingly good, and the prices were fair.
Great pizza! Great staff! My picky 12 year old ate 2 pieces and loved it. Have to try the lasagna pizza next time!
Their specialty pizzas have too many toppings for the crust to handle, but boy is it tasty! The pepperoni is great. A bit expensive .
Finally! I am from NY and have tried every place from Des Moines to Omaha that advertises NY style pizza only to be extremely disappointed each time...until now. Take it from a New Yorker, they nailed it.
Man, I haven’t been back to Long Island in a few years, you guys just brought me back. Best pizza I’ve had in Iowa
Great NY pizza. Best Sicilian pie you can get in Iowa. Nice folks working and running the place too.
Great pizza. Seems to be just like the pizza I get I NYC. Friendly staff. Not a ton of seating. Garlic knots are to die for.
Love this place!! Been going since they open. Feels like home everytime I go to taste of new york. #1 place for pizza
Excellent pizza. Margarita pizza is amazing. Great service, highly recommend.
Grew up in NY and have not found as authentic NYC pizza ANYWHERE in the midwest. This place is amazing...and not close enough to my house.
My favorite pizza in town. Nothing compares to the bbq chicken!
Great New York style Pizza. Calzones are really good as well. Always friendly staff.
Lou & Joy are the GREATEST. The ONLY NYC pizza west of the NY state boarder!!!
My favorite pizza place in Desmoines. It reminds me of my hometown Staten Island NY. Even tho it’s pricey but it’s worth the taste.
Let me tell you.. I'm a born new yorker and this is the real deal.. would have given it 5 stars but menu is limited to pretty much pizza.. some pasta dishes would be nice
I was visiting Des Moines and found this little gem.if you like New York style pizza or if you just like pizza in general you have to visit this place the food and service are top notch
Great pizza! I've never had new York pizza, but I guess this is as close as I'll get here in Iowa.
They have amazing pizza and you can get just a slice of pizza from a variety of pizza already made. They are a bit pricey, but if you have the money, its well worth the stop.
The food is awesome. Minus one little hiccup with my order, my first time experience here was great. The staff members were very accommodating and service was good as well.
Not a bad place to grab a slice. I’m from Chicago so I’m pretty particular with my pizza, but I was pleasantly surprised at the quality.
Pizza Perfection! You can buy it by the slice so you can try different flavors. Highly recommend.
Massive pizzas, good crust. Best buffalo chicken pizza I've had outside of the tri-state area.
This pizza and the owners are as genuine and authentic as you can get! We are privileged to have Taste of New York in West Des Moines.
Some of the best pizza in town. I always order a slice of the buffalo chicken. Busy on Friday nights!
Legit best Pizza I have EVER had. I’m not a pizza fan typically. Customer for life.
Love their pizza and knots!
Easily one of my favorite Des Moines pizza places. Good calzones too.
Great pizza, I've been looking for a great thin slice new York style pizza and this is where to go
Excellent service and the pie is the best in town if you are like me and love a traditional NY pie with that signature crust. Hands down my favorite spot.
Good New York style pizza. A little pricey but if you enjoy ny pizza this is a must stop.
Best pizza in Des Moines! I always stop when I go thru town. You won't be disappointed!
Great alternative to typical mid-west pizza. It was really like, I was back in New Jersey.
Great tasting NY style pizza by the slice.
Lived in NYC for years.Lou's Pies are on the money. No more need to fly to New York every year to get my fix. Keep it up guys!
Beat pizza place in Iowa! The Tony pizza is the best!
Best pizza in town! Best pizza by the slice place for lunch! My favorites are the Lasagna pizza and the Tony.
This is my favorite pizza place. Very family oriented. They are very supportive of military, police, and fire! True Patriots!
Real NY style pizza. I had thin and Sicilian thick style and both were excellant
What! This margarita pizza tastes exactly like Gotham pizza from upper east side in manhattan, NY.
Great pizza
Amazing pizza I definitely recommend it. Family friendly and a great staff.
Great selection of pizza. Awesome flavors friendly staff well organized.
Best pizza in Des Moines. It's just like the pizza you're gonna find in the northeast.
Great pizza! Really is a taste of New York in the midwest.
Great pizza, good service, decent prices. Will be returning to try some of their other pies.
I had the Margherita Pizza slice delicious. I will be coming back to try something else from the menu.
Great pizza, quick and friendly service. Good place for kids, too. Hope to be back soon!
Delicious pizza! Very close to NY style and I'm from NY. Not the friendliest of people who own it.
No pizza should take 1.5 hour to make and deliver. It may be good but come-on homies lets.do better.
Best pizza in the area.
Great tasting pizza for pay-per-slice. Much better option than Casey's or HyVee.
Best pizza ever great customer service. I'll be eating here every time I'm in Des Moines.
Possibly my favorite pizza ever! Can not recommend them enough!
Only good pizza around Des Moines that not a novelty pie
The best pizza around ! Now THIS IS NY style pizza! Thanks for bringing back childhood memories of NY.
This pizza was sensational, doesn't get any better than this! Go see my boy Nick he really is in a league of his own when it come to this pizza stuff
I absolutely loved this place and I never knew I could love pizza so much!! One of my top pizza places hands down!!!
Fantastic pizza! Tried the lasagna pizza and it's honestly some of the best pizza I've ever had.

Amazing pizza. Period. They even tape the top of the to-go pizza's boxes. Literally can't get any better.
Great place to eat, even when my son dropped the pizza, they gave us a new one for free
Great Pizza. Love the thin crust. Can't go wrong with the Margherita Pizza.
Amazing pizza!!!! By the slice so you can get a variety
Haven't had a bad slice here. Probably my favorite margherita pizza in town.
Massive pizza slice at a decent value for lunch. Definitely try the chef's special!
Food is Always delicious. The staff I's friendly and courteous. Try the canolis and Italian ice... You'll be hooked.
Two slices of the lasagna pizza very tasty! I’ll definitly be trying more of their pizza.
Over priced. Very average pizza. Better off walking across the street and getting pizza from the food court.
Damn good pizza... Best pizza place around Des Moines... No doubt.
A little up there in price, but when you taste the Pizza, you'll definitely understand.
As a New Yorker, it's not the best, but it is still really good NY pizza.
Amazing pizza , this place is awesome go above and beyond for customers. Love the pizza
