This was a decent pizza place, they have other foods but we didn't try anything else but garlic bread. We tried the chicken pizza and a meat lovers pizza. Both had plenty of ingredients, they didn't skimp on that part! Service was hit and miss, we had a really friendly and energetic high school student who often checked on us to see if we needed anything. The only issue was our garlic bread appetizer came out after we got our pizzas. We needed to ask about them and could see them on the kitchen counter getting cold. The server apologized saying he never heard his name called to pick them up. It happens. There is plenty of room inside for two people or a larger group. The place was well lit for the evening crowd and I felt it was very clean. We would go back if we were in town. read more

Mabe's Pizza is a classic pizza joint in downtown Decorah. Certainly nothing fancy in terms of the venue, but the pizza is definitely good. We went for lunch on a Sunday, so it wasn't too busy, but the service was attentive and courteous. We both had pizza and the thin crust style comes cut into squares. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Decorah. read more

Good pizza and a friendly staff. We tend to use Mabe's for delivery, which has always been prompt and hot.

How does Mabe's not have 5 stars? We were traveling through Iowa in a road trip from NC to SD. Dacorah was a pit stop for the night. We were told to go to Mabe's. The restaurant was just what I expected for a small midwestern town. The employees were kind. The food- outstanding! We ordered a taco pizza and a taco salad, as I had read online, that while in Iowa, taco pizza was a thing to get. Both were absolutely delicious! We highly recommend Mabe's! read more

Mabe's Pizza - Deluxe - Pizza Near Me - Decorah, Iowa

Tasty pizza. I like the thin crust. Good for groups. No reservation needed. Good for dine in or take out.

Honestly better off getting frozen pizza. Thin on toppings. Overly salty. And I'm a love salt person. People were nice, but I think the good reviews are from people who live where choices are limited and comparisons from away few. read more

Pizza was very good! Loved the sauce but when the waitress asks you how many half baked chocolate chip cookies with ice cream you want make sure you get more than one for your table. Absolutely AMAZING! A must try, my mouth is still watering from it! read more

Good thin-crust pizza. They way they cut into small rectangles makes its great for a crowd. The regular is a family favorite, but other pizzas are also good. read more

Waitor did not seem to know what he was doing. He also just kept grabbing a handful of things like silverware, plates, straws, menus, etc. And was overcounting for our group. It ended up taking so much space at our table. The pizzas were pretty good. Their chicken mushroom alfredo is bland and boring. But they were really good about paying attention to food allergies. The food was good the service sucked. We were in the back room and it seemed like our waitor forgot about us. Would ask if we needed anything but forgot to bring it to us. Never got refills when we needed them read more

Great pizza! Service was quick and efficient. Nice place, nothing fancy, but small town charm. Imagine it gets quite busy when college is in session. read more

Mabe's Pizza - Pepperoni Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Decorah, Iowa

Food was excellent but had a little issue with my food. I was told my pizza would be about 2 minutes after the rest of the tables food arrived. Then, about 3 minutes later I was told the kitchen messed up and dropped my pizza so they had to remake it. Everyone was almost done eating by the time I was given a pizza they messed up from another table and they just offered to box up the pizza I order to go. No discount and I'm here for the weekend so I don't need more pizza since I want to try new places. Pretty disappointing I have to eat the pizza I ordered cold or I'll probably just end up tossing it. read more

Located in downtown cool Decorah. Good old fashioned pizzeria atmosphere. Some crab ass 30ish white male employee grunted at us, "You can sit anywhere "....really welcoming. Young waitress was much more friendlier than first snob. We ordered a deluxe pizza and it was delicious. Little light on sauce, but it worked. Price is right. Recommend, but maybe that dude should quit his job if he's that disgruntled. read more

My husband and I got to Decorah late Thursday afternoon and made a call to order a pizza before we headed to the cabin for the night. We heard amazing reviews about Mabe's but WOW! The employees were amazing and kind. And the food... absolutely delicious, even when it was cold from the drive to the cabin! Highly recommend! Will definitely go back! read more

Good food, but if you order chicken wings to go, make sure they include the promised ranch dressing. Tear open the staple and double check. They apparently don't include it unless you specifically ask for ranch dressing. I ordered "12 chicken wings with Buffalo sauce" and got no ranch. Sad face. read more

We didn't want to eat here again, but we were desperate for supper and nowhere else was open except for the Mexican restaurant, who told us it would be an hour and a half wait. So we went to Mabe's and ordered a burger and wings online, which said it would be ready in a half hour. Score! Unfortunately, we waited--you guessed it--about an hour and a half for our food. I called twice to see what was going on, and I kept getting reassured it was coming but the "kitchen had gotten slammed." Funny how both times I've been here, it took forever to get the food. It seems like the kitchen is always "slammed." Food: That burger patty itself was so nasty. I pulled it off about halfway through and had a bacon and cheese sandwich. My husband thinks it was probably frozen. It wasn't seasoned and it smelled funny. The wings were just fried chicken with dipping sauce--also disappointing. I don't care if I'm starving and this is the only place left on earth. I will not be back. read more

Great pizza! Came from Fayetteville because we heard the food was so good. The service was fast and efficient. The people there were nice!

I have been going to Mabe's pizza my whole life living in Decorah. The pizza is always great but I like to order a burger every once in a while. My favorite pizza to get is the BBQ Chicken pizza. I also LOVE ordering a root beer. If you decide you have room for dessert, get the half baked cookie! It is amazing to share or just eat yourself. read more

Visiting Decorah for the first time, Mabe's was on the list of places to check out. A local legend of a place that has been around for many years. The DesMoines Register has their pizza listed as one of the 100 foods in Iowa to experience before you die. So of course we ordered the pizza! Thin crispy crust was yummy with generous toppings. It was a family dining environment with a dining room filled with what appeared to be locals. Staff was helpful and attentive. Prices very reasonable. It's great to see a restaurant like this thrive in a world of chain restaurants! read more

They make the pizza fast and has a lot seating. Unfortunately other than being reasonably priced pizza, I do not understand the hype. For me, it is average pizza based upon a lack luster crust and sauces. If you want to sit down and chat over a pie, it is a good place for that. Other than that, get Casey's take out. read more

Delcious pizza, great service and a fun place to eat!! Try their half baked pizza as well for a take and bake at home!

Terribly slow. We sat and wasn't informed that our pizza would be 80 minutes! We sat for 15 minutes before ordering drinks. By that time we were also ready to order our food. Was told she would get our drinks first. Ok. After ordering and waiting 40 minutes for our pizza, we finally asked how much longer. She said they just got slammed with to go orders and it would be 20 more minutes. We've already invested an hour waiting, what's another 20 minutes. If we leave, we'd have to wait somewhere else. To be fair, a Luther home game JUST finished and the Iowa game was starting. I would be willing to try it again. There's obviously a reason it was so busy and they have a positive reputation. read more

Great pizza! My favorite is around the garden! Perfect for a date night, or order delivery for a night in!

We traveled here from West Des Moines and have experienced numerous pizza places. WOW!! This pizza was fantastic. The husband likes Taco pizza and I got the breakfast pizza and added Canadian bacon and mushrooms to the scrambled eggs and cheese. It was the best!!!! The crust was very light and filling. We need a recipe like this in the Des Moines area. read more

After years of hearing the hype about Mabe's we finally made it. Meh. It was good but overhyped. The pizza was in the top 20% but not the best I've ever had. They had some unique pizza combos. Crust was thin, but not too crispy, or floppy. The customer service was kind and attentive. They allowed us to call in our order ahead even with dine in to avoid waiting with kids, which was greatly appreciated. read more
