We ordered 10 pizzas for the Tripoli Football team after their game against Elkader. The owner was great to work with and stayed a little later for us to pick up the pizzas! The kids enjoyed the pizza! Thanks again!

Pizza was delicious. We had the buffalo chicken ranch pizza, and pepperoni pizza, and both were great. Bread sticks were soft and flavorful. Exterior of the building is nice and attractive and adds character to the downtown. Inside seating is mediocre.

Really enjoy this pizza place. Now that they serve good, hard ice cream, we wish they would be open after the last movie plays.
