I don't see myself going back for the pizza alone - the toppings and sauce were good but the crust seemed like a store bought crust you can buy and make at home. What happened to the old crust??

My boss and I went out to lunch today. He'd picked 7 Stone with a friend of his and his friend's…read morekids. I was just along for the ride... Lol I took at look at their menu online and it's not a big menu... Build your own 7-Stone crust (thick) and artisan crust (thin) along with six different specialty pizzas. Big into appetizers? Don't plan on it here. They have cheesebread and side salads. They offer a couple different items for lunch specials (Wednesday - Friday 11am to 2pm)...toasted hoagies and a half pizza combo. It's order and pay at the counter. Pepsi self serve fountain drinks. Plates, utensils, napkins, and pizza spatulas are beside the fountain drink station. Parmesan and red pepper are on the tables. Seat yourself. The seating is a combination of booths and low top tables and chairs. There's a small counter with seating as well. The business itself is in a strip so there is lots of parking available. There was one gal behind the counter taking orders as well as cooking and serving pizzas. Two younger ladies came in a bit later, but it was hard to tell if they were actual staff or daughters there to hang out with their mom (or maybe both). Staff was friendly enough. Our party ordered: 1x large House7 on 7-Stone crust 1x large buffalo chicken on artisan crust 2x small pepperoni pizzas on artisan crust 1x large cheesebread 1x side salad 7x fountain drinks It was a short wait for everything to get cooked and served. The thicker 7 Stone crust takes about 20 min. The artisan...probably half that. The 7 Stone crust vaguely reminds me of when Pizza Hut still cooked in cast iron. The toasted crust with cheese burnt like little vertical stalagmite (that's the cave formations that form from the floor up)... That was something neat to see. I haven't had a crust like that in a long time. The artisan crust is thinner of course, but perfect for folding. You like a little char? This gives you that in some bubbling aound the edges, but the bottom of the pizza crust is not burnt. I really enjoyed the buffalo chicken pizza! I'm not sure what it was but for me there was something off about the red sauce... It wasn't "bad" but just tasted off. At first I thought it might be a residual taste from the black olives from the House7, but the red sauce on the pepperoni pizzas had the same taste. Maybe it was the plum tomatos they use v. roma or another more traditional variety? Bang for the buck... To me it seemed a little pricey. $22 for a small cheese pizza on 7-Stone. $20 for a small cheese on artisan. $33 for a large specialty on 7-Stone. $31 for a large speciality pizza on artisan. But that might just be me... The company was buying for the two of us today so... The cost is sort of irrelevant outside of mentioning the noted pricing in general. When the company is buying I really don't care. But I'm kind of glad they were paying for it... Lol But no one walked away hungry that's for sure...! And the leftovers I took home will get eaten as long as it warms up anywhere near the same (follow up edit: it did). This is a tough one for me... It's kind of like Gusto. I had a ton of friends who loved the place. I just never cared for it. And there was no particular reason... Is this some place I would return to? Maybe if invited again... But while it's not exactly my favorite... You might love it! Definitely worth checking out! https://www.7stonepizzeria.com/

Meatballs were solid. Pasta was a bit overcooked and the red sauce wasn't that tasty. But garlic bread was yummy. 3.5 stars not bad just not amazing! Prices are very good though. Used a Postmates $25 off coupon so it was almost free. Hard to beat that :)

I was close to Brody's after returning home at the airport and called in a pie to go…read more Ordered the small double dipped onion rings. Nice pieces of onion and the seasoning is excellent in the breading. So delicious and a great start. Next the Bordy's Special: Sausage, Pepperoni, Beef, Cappicola, onion and green peppers. No olives or mushrooms. The crust is thin, cracker type, crisp, and just fantastic. Add in the meat and fresh veggies with the sauce and it's a flavor party. So delicious and fabulous. Bordy's is gets compared to other pizza places, but to me it's on its own level. The crust is unique and the best in Des Moines. When I want this crust this is where I go. The best in the entire area in my opinion for this crust. The staff are super nice and the food is always hot & fresh. I will always be a Bordy's customer for this pizza because it is incredible and perfect. Just look at the toppings and all those flavors coming together, wow, just incredible. The pie is absolutely beautiful!

Late night tastiness Good undercarriage slices…read moreEnjoyable slice Passing through Des Moines a few days ago traveling east to west, Chicago to CO, and arrived at the hotel late and hungry with limited options. The front desk lady recommended Big Tomato Pizza Company. I, being a self-proclaimed pizza connoisseur, wanted to try it out. Although we ordered it around 1am and although it was only a mile and a half away from our hotel near the Casey Center, 6 min drive, it took about 45 mins to arrive. However, I cannot blame them because they said it would be 45 mins to an hour. Maybe it's just a busy food spot past midnight even on a Monday night/Tuesday morning. The delivery driver arrived, a very friendly older gentleman, and he informed me that although we ordered a medium 14" (which was interesting to me because most pizza places classify a large as 14"), we were gifted a large 16" for the same price. Half pepperoni for me, half bacon, onion, and Roma tomato for my mom. The dough was a great mixture of crispy and chewy, the cheese was nice and stretchy, good quality cheese imo, and it was just a good slice, both halves. I would've given it a 3/5, however, there are no half stars which I dislike about Yelp, because I really want to give it a 3.5/5, but I'll round up, especially because of the good service and the size upgrade. I also don't believe in perfection so I'll never give out a true 5 star, I have on this app but they're really 4.5/5. The slice was good, not top of the line but definitely something I'd go back for. I enjoyed Big Tomato Pizza.

I was hoping they would sell single slices of pizza to curb our hunger....and thankfully they do! They sell single slices most anytime of day (and not just after 10pm like they might have done back in the day...according to my boyfriend). It's very affordable at $4 a slice and they have about 6 different single slice pizza options to choose from (i.e. pepperoni, sausage, Canadian bacon with pineapple). Service was friendly and fast. Pizza tasted great as well! We'll have to order a full size pizza with other topping ingredients next time!
