Nice, quiet establishment in old Ankeny. The staff was polite and the service quick. The pizza (what we came for) was fantastic! It is a thin crust pizza with just the right amount of toppings. We will certainly be back soon. :)

I liked the food but the price is too high for what you get. I would have rated this place higher if it was more affordable. Too bad because I don't think I will be back any time soon.

Visiting the Des Moines area from Kansas City and found this little local diamond in downtown Ankeny. The service is something unmatched by any other restaurant I have ever been in. We had two spills and before we could say anything someone was there with towels and getting us new drinks. Every staff person was working quickly and efficiently. The servers helped each other out so every customer’s needs were taken care of immediately.The food is delicious! We tried the cini minis and wow! They are the most delicious little cinnamon crisp you’ve ever had. They are so light that you’ve eaten all of them without thinking.

My high school girlfriends and I dined here for our ladies' night and truly enjoyed our experience. We each got a different personal pizzas we could try each others. I didntfind one appetizer or pizza I didn't like! My personal favorite was the pickle wrap pizza. I wasn't sure when I ordered, but it was SO good! The price was typical and the service was decent. It was an extremely busy night so I'm not faulting her for that.

Leaning Tower always has amazing service, excellent pizza, and is my family’s go to for pizza night. With amazing consistency in quality of food and service, you just can’t be much better than them.

Our favorite place in Ankeny for pizza, hands down, 4 out of 5 because the configuration of the restaurant makes it unpleasant when people enter the restaurant - the entry is literally in the middle of the serving area. In winter, the door opens and freezing cold wind comes blowing in every time. If people are waiting (and there's usually a lot of people waiting because the food is SO good) they are piled around the door and around the front tables. It's not condusive to a pleasant dining experience... the again, the food it lights out good.

Pizza was on point. Toppings great quality! I wish it was a bit crispier. I don’t care for the bread bites personally, but again the pizza is on point. I want to thank my friend Ryan for his suggestion!

First... Let's talk about the service. Exceptional. In fact... All restaurant owners should come here, take notes, and figure out a way to duplicate the service they receive. Unfortunately, I think they have something that can't be taught. Our waitress was so incredibly genuine and attentive. It's impressive. Secondly, the pizza. DELICIOUS! Thin crust, great sauce, good toppings, and a lot of variety. We are looking forward to our next visit!

Pizza was great, cheesy, thin crunchy crust. Good amount of toppings. Cheese balls were awesome, thin crunchy breading. House sauce-their ranch was scrumptious. Server was friendly and attentive. Will be back.

One of the most tasty, hearty and delicious Italian cuisine options in the Ankeny / Des Moines area. Family operated and run in a quaint, uptown neighborhood.

We live in Ames and we're in town for something. Just happened across this place and felt like setting simple for dinner. They did not disappoint! The staff were all friendly and had "hustle" the whole time we were there. Our server did a great job of taking care of me, my wife, and my four daughters. It was an all-around great experience and we will definitely go back

We have been looking for a place that matches a local place we grew up with that has incredible Taco Pizza......we haven't found it, UNTIL NOW!!!!! Love the local feel and vibe of the place! We will be coming back for a long time. The service was great and food is better than ome could ask for! Pricing is great as well, even on the specialty pizzas. Great job!

Great local pizza place. I got the chicken BBQ pizza and it was excellent. The chicken on the pizza was probably the most tender and juicy chicken I've had in my life!

Very good quality pizza, if not exactly the best ever. Service was good, but the place gets REALLY crowded on Friday, so it was somewhat slow. The dining area is a bit small (maximum seating is 75 people), but had a friendly atmosphere. Pizza selection was good, with many interesting varieties. Will definitely go back.

Pleasantly surprised. The food was very good. Good came out quickly. I'll definitely bring my family back again. Pizza was delicious, plus they have crinkle fries which you can never go wrong with :). The garlic pillows could probably use a little less garlic butter so it doesn't pool up and the service was average. Nothing over the top in terms of the server, but friendly enough. So based on the food it's definitely worth a visit and a positive review.

We love their pizza. Our family favorite is the Potter. My wife is allergic to mushrooms and we’ve had a few times the pizza was made wrong (with mushrooms) but they have been quick to fix their mistake and make things right. This is a great family owned restaurant.

Normally our Wednesday night dinner. Last two times it’s been horrible. Tonight took the winner of never again. Ordered a large sausage With half jalapeño and have banana peppers. We counted 16 little sausages and I kid you not each half had a full jar of peppers. It was like eating nothing but peppers. Wish I could post pictures. Four people no one could choke down even have a piece. When I called I was told to hold and hung up on. RUDE! Waste of money

Delicious local pizza place. Surprisingly good pizza for this little hole in the wall. Got the bread bites - bread drowned in garlic and butter and deliciousness. Our waitress was super attentive and kind, the food came out in a totally reasonable amount of time. Super good.

Good pizza , with a little bit of spice in the sauce. I like the cheese as well, and the small diner atmosphere is nice... It's very solid pizza and you won't let most people down by taking them to this gem..

This place is an Ankeny institution. Be prepared to wait as it is very popular and seating is limited. Or better yet, get your pizza to go. Always a family favorite. Be sure to try the corn bites and cheese curds. These make the meal awesome.

Excellent pizza! Also, uptown Ankeny is pretty chill, so picking up a pie here is always an extra treat. The dining room isn't very large, though, and they do get busy, so don't be afraid to take your pizza home.

The only thing wrong was my salad had way too much paprika and too expensive. Almost $5 for a dinner salad is too much. I won't order another one.
