Everything was very good & the Chicken Noodle Soup hit the spot! I ordered a small Hamburger, Onion, Mushroom and Black Olive pizza to take with me. I snuck a small piece and it was excellent! I highly recommend visiting this local cage and plan to return for breakfast sometime.

I hadn't been to Belucci's since the 1980s and was *so* excited to see it was still around! Finally…read moremade it back last month with my daughter on a Wednesday evening. Sadly, we were the only ones in the restaurant -- and it felt like not much has changed since the place opened back in the 50s or 60s. Same booths (I'm pretty sure), and not sure the last time they've been deep cleaned. The bathroom in particular was... rough. There's a really cool old jukebox that adds to the nostalgia -- but unfortunately, it was out of order. Would've been nice to sip on a beer while waiting (the pizza took quite a while), but just a heads-up: they only serve canned pop and bottled water. Now, the good news -- once the pizza finally arrived, it was **fantastic**. Classic brick-oven flavor, perfectly crisp, and loaded with flavor. We ate the whole thing even though we'd planned to save leftovers for my daughter and her roommate! If I lived in Boone, I'd absolutely order from here again -- but next time, it would definitely be takeout.

A trail head treat. If you are going to hit the trail this…read morewas a treat to find. I started in Ankeny and pushed to the end. It was a treat to hear live music coming from the bar on a Sunday afternoon. I made my way over and a small lunch crowd had started. They have a nice patio where you can pull up a stool and sit at the bar. They had a full bar available outside. I asked for a menu and they had food that I could order and specials on the grill that day. I first ordered a root beer. The root beer was from a local Brewery so it cost a little bit more. I looked over the menu and looks like they had some really good choices. However with the bike ride I wasn't terribly hungry at the time so I did not end up ordering any food. As I sat there and there was a gentleman that was playing live music by the entrance way. He was rather good he had CDs and shirts out for sale and it was a very nice Ambience for the bar. I sat there for quite a while the TVs above the bar showed us the most current hurricane that was going on in Florida and any other news that was happening. I sat for quite a while the bartenders were very attentive asking me if I needed anything and were accommodating. They were happy to give me some ice for my water bottle and we're not put out when I decided I wasn't going to order any food. So I decided to go ahead ahead and pay my tab and head off. It was a very nice stop before jumping back on the trail. I think you should give the whistling donkey and try and maybe get the honor of trying their food. Hopefully next time I make it all the way up I'll be hungry and want to try some food. I will admit it was a perfect day to sit outside and enjoy the free entertainment and I would recommend this stop to anyone on the trail.

We sat there wasting 90 minutes while the staff seemed completely clueless about what was going on. If you value your time, do not come here. The service is disorganized, the wait times are ridiculous, and customer service is nonexistent. One of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. There are plenty of pizza places that actually care about their customers. This isn't one of them. 0/10. Never coming back.

To start out... I'm not a local, I come to Ames once a month for work and love to try new bars and…read morerestaurants.. Figured I'd give this place a try! The feel and ambiance... mixed with a touch of nostalgic. Upon entering you are greeted with tables and chairs inches from the door. We thought that we entered from the side door. There was no host stand or sign stating that you should order in the back at the kitchen. We were confused. During our meal the radio was playing, and not nice music but a crude talk show that happened to be talking about someone getting a Brazilian wax... You'd think the place could pay for Spotify or music without ads... The booths were a tad old and crusty - But I suppose that's where the nostalgia comes in. The food... much to be desired. It was all cheap just okay. Everything lacked flavor. Nothing to write home about. The salads were massive and a great bargain. The cheese bread was disappointing, it was just melted cheese on a sub bun with store bought sauce. For a location called sauce and dough company. This was expected to be a highlight, but ended up being something that could easily be made at home. The pizza was decent, but confusing at best. For someone's first time, I'd expect there to be signs or mentions that the honey should go on the crust... I only found that out after once I read reviews. The crust was dry and lacked flavor without the honey or other seasoning... Am I the only one that thinks that you should not need honey to make pizza palatable. Also, if you add honey you add 70 cals each tablespoon. I know I didn't come to eat healthy but also... Everyone is right, so many toppings and cheese. But again, lacks flavor. The prices... very reasonable. We got two large salads, two beers, an app and a large pizza for $50. Very reasonable. Overall, I won't be back but am glad I at least tried an Ames staple.
