Ordered delivery while we were in town for a football game. The website was easy to use to order, I even realized I forgot something and when I called them to ask if they could add to my order they did it quick no questions asked. We ordered jalapeno poppers, cheese pizza, pepperoni pizza, pit sticks, and a black olive and green pepper beef pizza. Everything was really good! Perfect ratio of sauce, cheese and ingredients. It wasn't too greasy or floppy. Arrived hot. Would definitely order here again next time I am in town. read more

We ordered delivery from Pizza Pit and got a pepporoni pizza, breadsticks, and a ground beef/veggie pizza. All of the pizzas had a great crisp and solid undercarriage, no soggy slices here. The beef one was my favorite. Loaded with toppings and hit the spot. Their ranch dressing was solid as well. Delivery was prompt, and everything arrived hot. Perfect meal after our night out at the bars. read more

The food was amazing! I had the meatball sandwich and was delicious! The service was great and they were incredibly polite.

Best Pizza I've ever had!! We ordered a 16" pizza with Jalapeños, and banana peppers on half, and mushrooms, pepperoni and banana peppers on the other half. It came timely and as specified. All you need to know is the first sentence. We went there based on reviews We are in agreement about how great it was. read more

Spotless, good selection of pizzas, nice personalized ambiance--not your tired, formulaic restaurant. Mixed crowd of locals, ISU students and profs, young and old. Bonus: you can order food from Pizza Pit while downstairs at Welch Avenue Station. And spotless! Super clean!! Same can be said for Welch Avenue Station. read more

I've read several reviews that the interior of the restaurant needs an update because it is "so 1980s" so let me put my vote in that I like it that way and I have since I was a student at ISU actually in the 1980s. The nostalgia of many wonderful meals in a place that is recognizable is a great comfort. Now the Pizza is my favorite in the entire world. There are definitely better places in the world but no one has had a kind enough heart to point them out to me. I'm also enough of a pizza heretic to enjoy pineapple on my meat lovers pizza. I did burn my chin on a hot slice there 40 years ago. So glad I kept coming. read more

The perfect pizza experience. They don't rush the process. Place your order, grab a cold beer, munch on some delicious cheese bread and wait for your perfect, hot pie to be brought to your table. read more

Pizza Pit - Deluxe - Pizza Near Me - Ames, Iowa

Great pizza. Sometimes the employees are quiet and short with customers and rarely smile. That's the only thing I'd change about this place. What happened to service with a smile? read more

Pizza Pit is by no means gourmet but they do sling some solid pizza that was reminiscent of Godfathers or Gambino's. I had both the pepperoni and the taco. The taco exceeded my expectations and was better than most but not on the level of the taco offered by Godfathers. I also enjoyed the pit sticks which were similar to cheese bread/sticks offered by other pizza joints. The interior of the restaurant is in desperate need of updates. It features cheap artwork/posters straight from the 80's. Maybe college kids in town like the throwback vibe but to me it looked tired. I'll also add that the place was nearly empty which made me question whether I picked the correct spot to get some 'za. I realize that it is summer in a college town so most students are back home and it was shortly after 5 which explains why most patrons were older. Despite all that, the pizza was good enough that I would consider going back. read more

Good crust. Fast delivery. Cheesy garlic bread disappointing. Pizza hot. Would eat again

The pizza is edible from past experience. We went there this past Saturday night at 7:30 PM on homecoming weekend and they said they were closed for takeout and eat in orders? Never heard of anything like this. You might as well put up a sign that says we don't really want your business and we don't care if you come back. I won't. We went down the street and had a great service and fantastic pizza, I suggest you do the same. read more

Just got the beer battered boneless chicken wings from here and the smell, driving home, was sooo good! Fresh, hot, best taste I've had from a boneless chicken wing that doesn't have sauce on it! The aroma was that like I remember from mom's chicken, very fresh. We got three dipping sauces with the wings and they were good as well, but you don't have to dunk 'em to get the great taste. Clean. Family friendly. Friendly staff. Lot and street parking. This place is in campus town, sometimes hard to find parking. Marcy'sDinerTantrumScale 5/5- NoScreamingKids. read more

Bartender did not offer to clean our table and he did not provide assistance on their order process. He was not friendly and or customer service oriented when I asked him for assistance. My wife and I immediately departed this establishment and found a fantastic Brazilian restaurant one block down the street! read more

Pizza Pit Extreme is more than pizza, it's comfort food. I frequent many pizza joints in Ames and I have several favorites but Pizza Pit is the best. It's the sauce and cheese along with tasty toppings that really make the difference. Pizza Pit Extreme is a staple of campus town and the Ames scene. I can't tell you how many Meeker Elementary school fund raisers I attended only to find the owner severing a mountain of pizzas to hungry kids and parents. Tireless in his support of the Ames Schools. But it's the pizza that brings me back. It's comfort food! read more

WOW!! Best pizza I've had in a long time... anywhere! I travel a lot.. I'm a Traveling Chef, was tired and in need of pizza after 4 weeks in Ames. Thin crust.. tender & chewy, perfectly crispy on the edge.. sauce.. tangy & not acidic, pepperoni.. again perfect! (Cooked, slight curl, a little crisp on the edges) Cheese .. perfect ratio. ... delivery... on time & hot! I'll be a patron every time I'm in this area.. & tell all my fellow travelers the same! I'm def a "Pit" fan!! read more

The pizza is amazing. The crust is crisp and flakey around the edges. The cheese bread is "everyone's favorite" and that's the truth. My wife thinks that they make some kind a special Ranch. Bit, that has not been confirmed. Nevertheless, she loves it. The wings are fine, but it is not what they are known for. The decor and furniture are probably the same as when it opened. But that makes the ambiance special. I especially enjoy the huge live plants by the TV. Also, bring a handful of quarters because they have a retro video game in the building. read more

Pizza Pit - Great place for post game . - Pizza Near Me - Ames, Iowa

I order from this place a lot and have never been disappointed. They are the only pizza joint that makes well done crust like I like it. I highly recommend! read more

Absolutely incredible pizza. I got pepperoni, jalapeños, and banana peppers, and it was the best I ever had. I am a student at Auburn, and to see that this place was empty was devastating. I hope that when school starts back up, the Iowa State students are flooding this place. So glad we didn't settle for dominos tonight. read more

I'm bumping up a star because Pizza Pit catered my child's school fundraiser and I got a chance to try their pizza; far more impressive. I bought a box of pepperoni but I'm unsure if I tried the sausage or not. I definitely loved the way they layered the cheese and pepperoni and it was quite delicious. read more

Great pizza! Have been eating here for years. Quality is always good and the service is quick.

This place? This place is adorable. Do you realize what you guys are sitting on here? It's a real life pizza parlor. Do you understand how cool that is? A few days after I went here I was in Wisconsin, and I found a real life soda fountain, too. The midwest is like a Disneyland fairytale. It's so cute and awesome, I almost can't stand it. We don't have pizza parlors in California. We have pizza hut and dominoes, and Italian restaurants, but no honest to goodness, polly-pocket-like pizza parlors. Anyway, I don't have much more to say about this place than that. My boyfriend loves the fried cheese balls enough that we made a special trip here to get them before we left town, so that must mean something significant. They changed their ranch since he last had it, though, and he was sorely disappointed about that. Apparently this place used to have the best ranch on the planet, and now it's gone. If the owners read this, please take that to heart. It was a big deal to him. Oh, oh, they have Micky and Minnie Mouse as gender markers on the bathroom door, and a big epic poster of the Starship Enterprise on the wall when you walk in. My inner Disney fan and my lesser known inner Trekkie is well appeased. read more

I'm visiting town on business, this place was easy web ordering, and online pay. Location was easy to find but parking is limited. I got taco pizza, jalapeño poppers and cheese bread! I search for deals and I think the bread ended up being less the $2 with marinara sauce. The order time was quoted and they were pretty much on the dot! These are crazy times and I saw 3 team members working and all wearing mask, and practicing distancing. The counter was set up to shield the customer from the register with a thoughtful bot saying to speak up! As we all are finding out the barriers and the mask are making it difficult to hear. I got carry out, but the place appears to clean and safe, I would of felt safe dinning in! Keep up the good work! read more

Excellent service! Sauce was sweet and tasty. I just prefer a crispier crust. The cheese bread was pure comfort food. The coke tasted funny so that dropped it a star, but the price was certainly right! read more

One of our favorite pizza places for about 23 years! We've ordered a lot to go because of Covid. Tastes good no matter what!

Just because! Miss it soooo much!!! Sending my youngest there in 2 weeks! We will be regulars again, almost 30 years later....

I always order their fried drumsticks and wings to go. They are small, fried, and delicious. I can't say anything about the restaurant itself because I have never dined in, but every time I'm in Ames, I have to order their fried chicken to go. They are always super yummy. This last time they were a bit burned I thought but still tasted really good. My friends told me their pizza is really good too and so are their Hot sandwitches, although I have never tried them but I'll take my friend's word for it. read more

There's been a long-standing controversy concerning the best OG pizza place in Ames. When my mom went to ISU, the place to go for a quick slice was Pizza Pit. Now that I'm attending ISU, I've had the chance to experience the campus town food both sober and after a couple drinks. I can confidently say Pizza Pit has satisfied and comforted me in both situations, whereas a longtime competitor was a letdown in both scenarios. I've only had the pizza but it's made fresh and the wait is minimal. All in all, Pizza Pit is inexpensive, great pizza in a warm and relaxed atmosphere. I also recommend getting a punch card for that free slice every 10 you buy! read more

Today one of the deal apps in ames had a small one topping pizza deal that I called in about to check if I was able to place an order over the phone with the deal. The man who answered the phone was very condescending and rude when answering my questions, especially when answering specific details of the deal/order. I had never been to Pizza Pit but had heard good things, figured I would try it out. After this short experience I am certainly not planning on trying it. Awful customer service and had to hang up while I was on hold because I just couldn't believe the way he spoke to me. read more

Amazing pizza and I love the interior vibe - cozy and retro. The crust, sauce, and toppings have a perfect ratio (especially the chicken bacon ranch - my partner and my favorite!) This is the perfect spot to come with friends since there's plenty of booths to sit in. read more

I freaking love Pizza Pit. Hands down the best pizza in Ames. I love the sausage mushroom melt but to be honest everything is over the top good. The sandwiches and wings are as good as ever. Free extra sauce? Yes please. read more

Pizza Pit has been delicious and reliable for years! You can order it from Welch Ave Station, the bar below it, and they'll bring it right to you. It's really convenient when you're having a few beers and watching games on the TVs. Possibly too convenient! The fried drummies are great and so is their service. read more

hands down the best hot Sammie's we've found here in Ames. soft bread, quality ingredients, and crazy good prices. did I mention free chips and a pickle with every sandwich? delivery time was excellent, as was the customer service both on the phone and delivery driver. we will be eating there quite often. read more

This is my go-to place for indigestion pizza. I don't know why I love it, but the over-salted sauce calls to me. Throw on some extra cheese and the topping of your choice and you're in heaven. (or I guess I am) I know some people don't like that the sauce keeps you up all night, but as a night owl, I'm a big fan. The actual restaurant is above a bar and is like any normal place but I usually get my pizza delivered. read more

Food is very greasy. But the place is very much fun to visit. They have pool table with all possible crazy people around you. The atmosphere is fun. Avoid going on weekends to get a table is very difficult. The drinks are not expensive too. read more

Easy spot to sit and enjoy some pizza together. Nice quiet spot to relax. Two large pizzas were about right for our family of four.

I have had Pizza Pit twice, once in store and once ordered for delivery, and both times I was not disappointed. The pricing is great, the food is incredible, and the service is great. Will definitely be having this more often!! Love supporting our smaller businesses read more

This is really good college town pizza. Thin and crispy, loaded with meat and cheese. The inside is clean and comfy.

Terribly awesome. Actually I went to cvs and the nice pharmacist prescribed me this pizza. Thanks jebb I'm now cured. read more

Pizza Pit - Tacos - Pizza Near Me - Ames, Iowa

I've never been inside, because I have (very) severe agoraphobia and have everything delivered to my house. The food is always above par and the deliveries are always prompt, friendly and professional. My favorite delivery guy is some Greek (?) guy named Bebram (?). I love the food, especially the wings. read more

I'm back bitches. Let's start this thing off right. Pizza Pit knows what is up in the chicken department. They got their wings on LOCK. I am serious it is unreal....the chicken tenders speak to your soul in a way that nobody else could and not only have I had many of their chickens, I have gotten them on multiple occasions. Their wings are life altering and rival those of BWW (I have only had them drunk so that might explain some things). They give you like 19347 sauces with your chicken too it is unreal and when the sauces are mixed it turns into a symphony of flavors that could only be explained by a master culinary expert. Congrats to Pizza Pit for making some life changing chicken. Their pizza is okay. read more
