I can call ahead from work and pick it up on my way out of town and snack while I am inevitably stuck in bottleneck rush hour traffic! If you do want to take a seat, it is a very chill and laid-back atmosphere. Great place to watch a game and have a beer! My go to is the "Special", but I also love lighter pizza with good - old-fashioned pepperoni-sausage-mushroom on a thin crust! It might take some time because of staff shortages, but what can you do? I am happy to wait if it means that I can dig my teeth into that delicious mound of cheesy goodness!

We got a small 12 veggie and a 16 1/2 hamburger and onion 1/2 pep sausage and pepperoncini. Crust was thin but not dry, sauce and cheese ratio was on point.

They also brought every extra thing I ordered parm peppers and extra sauce. Love the attention to detail.

I asked three people where we should eat when visiting the University of Iowa. They had a lot of…read moreopinions. Every one of them said Wig & Pen. And so we did. My wife isn't a big pizza fan, so anytime we have an opportunity to pick pizza as a dine-in dinner, and blame it on others, I'm going to take that opportunity. And she loved it too. First for the appetizer, we chose the onion rings. They were really onion straws (remember the old Damon's BBQ Onion Loaf? They're like that!). They were great. A bit messy, but great. For pizza, we went with the thin crust Union Jack, which is basically deluxe: Italian sausage, pepperoni, onions, mushrooms, red bell pepper. I loved the way they cut the peppers super thin, and the pizza was fantastic. I'd love to try the other crust/styles as well someday, but the table voted and that's what we landed on. Six stars for the pizza. The restaurant is bigger than it looks, and was very crowded on an early Saturday evening. It is obviously popular, as the inside dining was full and the outdoor patio was nearly as popular. Service was very friendly, and helped us navigate the crust decision. The only downside - and I didn't test them on it - is the 'only one refill' rule on their fountain drinks. I hate this rule almost as much as Mexican restaurants charging for the second basket of chips and salsa. It just makes no sense to me. But I don't think I even finished the first one, so I have no idea if they would have actually charged me if I had !GASP! asked for a third drink. This is a top ranking for me - loved it, will return next time I'm in town. If you're looking for a great pizza place with other dishes on the menu, Wig & Pen is a great choice!

This time we tried the Chocolate Budino with vanilla gelato, and it was the perfect ending to an already wonderful dinner. As always, our service was stellar.

I can't lie--I find most artisanal pizza places to be frustratingly overtopped. There are many of…read moreus who don't like "traditional" pizza toppings that don't need to overcompensate with sheer quantity. Put another way: just because I don't eat pork and prefer vegetables on my pizza, that doesn't mean I want ALL OF THEM on my pizza at once. To that end, I think the Wedge can be stereotypical at times--all their nonstandard pizzas seem to have one or two more toppings than necessary. The Chicken Pesto is really good...until you dump the mushrooms on it, for example. All that said, I'm here for the Wedge. They have the perfect meal deal; $10 gets you two slices, a soda, and a cookie. They're perfect for any time of day, any date night, and any afternoon with two hungry boys. Their service is always TOP NOTCH, and their pizzas-even over-topped as they can be--are always superb. I personally prefer the Pesto Veggie with no onions, but adding kalamata olives, or the Chicken Pesto with no mushrooms. Glad these folks are downtown again. Good to see them and Saj grill amongst all the corporate crap.

And the Provender was born of the union of a sweet old truck and brick pizza oven! While, I've only been here on RAGBRAI, the place is seriously magical. A delight of a restaurant on wheels that served up some mighty fine vittles! We had a breakfast bar that consisted of rice, sausage and eggs - served cold and in rectangular form. This action was solid! If not for the miles ahead, I would have partaken in the meat laden sandwich. Apparently you can rent this beast for gatherings as well! We're excited to get to know this unique food truck better in the near future and you'd be wise to do the same!

Wowza, delish!…read more These guys focus on good, local, from-scratch ingredients and it shows! Everything is fresh from the farm and they even make use out of things like the radish greens - love that! Oh, and I suppose I should mention that these dishes are unintentionally healthy, because they are. This is the kind of food you want to eat all the time not because it's good for you, but because it's tasty. The fact that their menu is loaded with a bunch of super foods, is a mega bonus. Also, can we talk about the truck for a second? Because it's the hippest thing that's rolled down Washington Street since horses were the only mode of transportation! The style is perfectly on-par with their local, farm-to-table mission. I can't wait to work my way through their whole menu!

We went on a weekday during happy hour and there was lots of seating and ample free parking…read more Their happy hour deals were nice, they had a wine deal where you get a double pour, so you pay for one glass but they give you a glass with double the wine content. It was a lot of wine but a good deal! The only thing that was difficult is their printed wine menu is different from what they had available. The waitress was nice so she got some recommendations from the bartender and we were able to choose wine that way. The pizza was great, some of the best we have had in Coralville. Their pasta tasted fresh and homemade, I am not sure if it is but that was the vibe we got. The broccolini was hot!! Not in a straight out of the oven way, but in an it carries some heat way. We thought maybe there was chili oil on it? But even though we weren't expecting the heat, they were super good. The only downside to the meal was the crème brûlée, it bothers me when the top isn't crispy. Normally, you use the spoon to kind of break the sugar glass on top (i think it's sugar?) and I was sad when the sugar on top was missing from half of it. I think to make it you use a blowtorch to melt the sugar on top (?) idk how it works, but whatever that step is I think it was missed. Other than that great food and drinks!
