I've been impressed with this place, especially their takeout. The baked spaghetti is particularly good, as is their Tropical Hawaiian pizza. I haven't had much interaction with staff, but I've noticed the negative reviews seem to center on customer service. Unless I have a bad experience, I'll keep coming back! read more

Sarpino's Pizzeria - 10" Tropical Hawaiian Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Clive, Iowa

Very rude I placed an order through DoorDash and it was made up at their store as pepperoni and mushrooms, not sausage and mushrooms so I contacted them and they refuse to make it right and referred me back to DoorDash and DoorDash is trying to screw me by just giving me a five dollar credit That doesn't make a $35 pizza screwup correct and so this pizzeria place has Sarpinos read more

I had Sarpinos' delicious pizza about 10 years ago when I moved to the area. I will order one this weekend and have it delivered. I'll let you know how it turns out! I really want to try the Taco pizza but will check the menu too. This is only Thursday so I don't know if I can wait Dreaming of a 5 Star rating! read more

Delivery driver David was very rude. Insisted my daughter should have tipped for delivery. When she declined he got outraged and told us not to order ever again. Extremely dissatisfied with my service. It was completely uncalled for. read more

The saripinos I remember had the best sauce flavor of all pizza places I've ever had and that's what stood out I haven't been there in a quite some time, and I had an order here recently and the pizza sauce doesn't have the same taste I remember it's the same as all the other pizza sauces I don't know what changed but I think you need to go back to the old sauce recipe read more

Too expensive. Also they burnt my order a couple years ago and I left a review about it and the owner called me a liar.

Due to ordering on doordash, I made sure to call the store to make sure my order was correct and the customer service was absolutely terrible!!! I understand that DoorDash has their stipulations but the company also can contact DoorDash to make sure there is a no cheese button!!! The guy I talked to was absolute trash read more

We tried the pasta and spaghetti and Alfredo pasta dishes. Both were extremely dry and needed more sauce (see attached picture). We've eaten here before and had a better experience. Hopefully someone that has the ability to change will read this review and consider making modifications. Chicken Alfredo read more

Sarpino's Pizzeria - Baked Spaghetti - Pizza Near Me - Clive, Iowa

Taking a break from packing to move, so went today for the 1st time for a 10" pizza. Pros: * Very nice flavor. * Not overly saucy, which I prefer, but they did give me a small side of extra sauce, as well as 2 packets... 1 Parmesan cheese, the other red pepper flakes & also enclosed 1 pepperoncino, which was interesting. * I ordered extra cheese & pepperoni & it had PLENTY of both. * A 10" is hearty enough that it's 2 full meals for me. * Very nice staff, friendly & I was offered a 15% discount as it was my first time going, which was a nice touch. Cons: * Price. For a 10" with 2 toppings it was $15 & that was with the 15% discount. Granted, I don't get pizza take out often (I usually make my own from scratch), so that might be par for the course, but I think it's high. * Crust was a bit oily, but that's par for the course with most pizzas, which is why I usually make my own. Good to Know: * They don't sell slices. Overall... 4*... 5* for flavor, 5* for nice employees, 3.5* for price. read more

food was subpar but the man on the phone was very rude! I called up there because they took $7 extra off my card then he proceeded to tell me I have an attitude when I just wanted my money back. now they don't want to deliver to me. very rude people I wouldn't support again. read more

Their Gyros and sandwiches are top notch! Great for a late night nosh!! We prefer the Gyro on Pita bread rather than the Calzone.

We cater in Sarpino's pizzas for parties we host at my second job. I've eaten a lot of it over the past three years and like most things you are around daily you start to take it for granted. Their one topping pizzas are good, but where I really think they really shine is their specialty pizzas. Today I had to run back and forth between my job and their location to take care of a minor glitch. When I took their pizza bags back after my shift I started thinking about how much I liked their chicken bacon and ranch pizza...so I ordered one to take home. Call it a late lunch. The first picture was taken in my car while it was still hot. My drive isn't far, but we all know the appearance of food can change in a few minutes after a commute. The pizza was as good as I remembered it being. I think the majority of their business is delivery and carry out, but they do have several booths and tables in house. I forgot to grab my receipt, but I think their prices are comparable to other places (Pizza Hut, Casey's, etc.). Open 365 days a year. Open all holidays. Open late...200 AM and 300 AM depending on the day. Free delivery. As I said before I deal with Sarpino's at work so my relationship with them is a little more than just as a casual diner. Sometimes we have bumps. Our orders with them are very time sensitive because we use them to feed our guests as we don't have the capabilty to cook on site... That being said... You know how they say you shouldn't judge a person's character by when they fall. The true measure of a person's character is how they get back up and move forward after the fall. Their pizza is very good, but their owners and management team are stellar. Their drivers are courteous and professional. On the rare occasion when we have a problem they bend over backwards to make things right. I'm grateful we are able to partner with them. If you haven't ever checked their menu out... Maybe think about it the next time you decide to order in and you want to try something different. Actual date of visit: 07/30/2017 read more

Always so good! We get the primo capocolo (sp?) or the chicken ranch. Omg so good. Primo is a little spicy if you like that. Spicy, but not "hot". Bc app wants more info -- never ate inside. Always have it delivered. read more

Every time I travel through DSM. I grab Sarpino's it's a family favorite. The food is always great. The service is top-notch. We live 5 hours from DSM and would gladly go to DSM for Sarpino's only. I love ambiance. it's what true Italian place is supposed to be like. read more

My partner and I got this at 10:30 pm and it was so good! Loved the pizza and the wings! The pizza reminds us both of Pizza Hut back in the day when it was really good just without the Pizza Hut seasoning on the crust! We're definitely coming back read more

Excellent experience and great food. I ordered the large veggie pizza and an order of breadsticks for two of us. The sauces were a nice addition and we ended up with extra food. The ordering process was easy to navigate and they delivered right to the hotel lobby as requested. Was working late with a co-worker and this meal hit the spot. (Frequent traveler from out of town) read more

I found that the people were friendly and willing to help you out great and generous topping I eat there regularly

Pros: Scrumptious buffalo chicken calzone. Super nice staff. Open late. Cons: I live in NY so I don't know when I'll get to have it again. read more

This is such a great option for late night pizza. The cheese is always nice and gooey and the crust is always spit on for me. Pizza is the only thing I would get here though. The way I always do it is just order for pickup and drive up and grab. Pretty much no service required which seems thr easy to do it since late at night understandably the staff is pretty lax. Definitely my favorite place after midnight to eat. Pretty good pizza for normal time and a great pizza for drunk on the weekend after midnight time. read more

I LOVE SARPINOS. I found out about them on a recruiting trip to West Des Moines over 10 years ago. I was in WDM now I'm in Urbandale, which makes it even BETTER!!! I'm ALWAYS SATISFIED with my order and the Delivery Staff is GREAT!!! My FAVORITE PIZZA read more

Sarpino's is my new favorite delivery pizza in the West Des Moines area. This pizza spot absolutely have the best wings you can have delivered to your door, their delivery time isn't bad at all, and their pizza is bomb. I actually can't eat the crust, so I can't comment on that right now, but the toppings of their pizza are SO YUMMY so I can only imagine how good it is all together. I always order pepperoni/ham and hot wings, and something crazy is going to have to happen to make me change pizza spots. read more

We have ordered Sarpino's a handful of times and the food is pretty consistent. The delivery time is generally faster than what is originally quoted. Pizzas are good. I ordered pasta today for the first time, it was a little dry. I also ordered tiramisu for the first time as well, it was ok but I doubt that I would spend the money on it again. I am excited to try the calzones next. They do offer coupons and if you don't like them, they have a 15% off coupon. I got a $10 birthday coupon too. And they always have free delivery. read more

Sarpino's is our go-to place for pizza. Primarily because you can order a custom pizza on-line and get 15% off the price for doing so (look for it). They also constantly have store specials that are a good deal. We were on a first name basis with the previous owners, but they sold it to a local couple not too long ago. I initially wasn't happy with the conversion due to some changes they made. The new owner quickly contacted me to help with my issues and to assure me it was going to be better. Great customer service. He was right. It is a lot better. The ingredients are fresher, the service is better, and most importantly the consistency of their pizza is much improved. I've not been disappointed with any orders we've made there recently. Their delivery is fast but I usually go pick it up in less than 30 minutes from ordering. Easy. This place beats the heck out of the chain competition and for only a couple of bucks more (and sometimes less). Be sure to go online to order for the discount and and specify how you like your pizza. They'll make it that way. read more

Just disappointed. It was late when we checked in and needed something to eat. We stated we were at a hotel. Who delivers to a hotel without napkins and utensils with pasta. Order was missing items and food was cold. It was late. We tried to call but we were on terminal hold. read more

We love Sarpino's! We have had food that was less then good, we called and it was replaced with fresh hot pizza.

This pizza place is not bad at all. I actually kind of like it for a delivery place. I would say Dominos is a bit better, but this place has more crazy options. They got like 30+ options to choose from and every once in a while, I like to be adventurous. I ordered their special which was two 12" gourmet pizzas for $21. One was Saprino's Cheese Bonanza, and another called Midnight Express which was spicy and had various meats. Both were actually bigger than I thought. The flavors on both were pretty decent and unique, but nothing jumped out at me or made me say this is darn good pizza. It was more like, this is not bad, I could see myself trying some other flavors next time. Its biggest flaw was the mozzarella cheese. It didn't have that stringy texture, a pop, or much flavor. You are not going to take a bite of this pizza and see the melted cheese oozing down your hand. It's more like you take a bite, a solid piece with all the topping off the top will want to come off because it's become one solid piece. So overall, I would like to try their chicken wings, and I wouldn't mind trying some of their other flavors. But I don't think I would get an itch to order some pizza from them anytime soon. read more

Worst Sarpino's experience ever. Buffalo Chicken Ranch pizza had no banana peppers, the four baklava orders were all dry and missing the honey, the Greek salads had no olives and had the wrong dressings. Every item was messed up. Probably won't ever risk ordering from them again. read more

Not sure what the deal was at this establishment, but we orderd 3 pizzas and a catering salad for our company lunch. The pizza arrived with salad about 40 minutes after order was placed which is fine. When I opened all 3 pizza boxes all 3 pizzas were burnt. We ordered a large specialty, the New York Deli Pizza and it looked NOTHING like it did on their website, plus it was burnt. Called and talked to manager. They did send over 3 new pizzas, but the 3rd one was still a little burnt. I say that to say this.. owners of business', be careful who you have working for you because they can and will make your business look bad. By the way the bill was close to $100 bucks with 3 pizzas and large salad. read more

Sarpino's Pizzeria - 3 pizzas, delivered burnt. - Pizza Near Me - Clive, Iowa

Best pizza hands down! You can order easily online. No minimum for delivery. They are open from 9am-2am and even until 3am on the weekend. Their crust is crisp on the outside and has a great chewy taste inside. Always cooked to perfection and their toppings are fresh. They have a wide variety of sauces, toppings, dipping sauces, and even how it is cooked and cut. They also offer WAY more than just pizza. Salads, sandwiches, calzones, desserts, pastas, etc.! read more

Prompt delivery though they forgot my soda and I was kind of stuck in a motel not feeling like getting back up and dressed to just get something to drink. The pizza is pretty good, better than the chain places. It's a chewy thin crust with crisp edges and an Italian American red sauce which works well for late night. Open late enough that it's a good choice out of a motel. They will take a credit card over the phone. read more

I'm giving them one last chance tonight. 2 orders ago, my husband got the wrong thing. Since it was pasta, he didn't know it was wrong until he dug in. So we kept it. The last time they mixed our order up with someone else's, the driver had to come back to get the order from our house and deliver to the correct house. And pick up our food from them. Both times I filled out the survey they send after an online order and pointed out the mistakes. There was no follow-up. I know this is under new ownership and this new ownership pales in comparison with customer service than the last owners. I do like the food and the delivery options but if there is no customer service follow up then there are a lot of other places that I can get food that is just as good. Follow up...1 hour later. Yep, My husband got the wrong pasta AGAIN. The box said meat ravioli. When he cut into it with this fork, it was lasagna. Evidently some quality control in the kitchen would be helpful. follow up #2..the owner has reached out to me to apologize which I appreciate. It sounds like they are trying hard to make up for these mistakes. We'll give them another chance because I do like their food. read more

Great pizza place near the metro. If it's a nice day I will take the 15ish minute drive to Clive for a fresh Sarpino's pizza. It's a good idea to call ahead since you can jump in the car and it is hot n' ready when you pull up to their Clive location. There are 3 large booths (which to be fair aren't that comfy, but good enough) to enjoy your food on. Sarpino's gets swapped every weekend, but they still work very hard to make everyone satisfied. When I was there last they had only 1 person on the phones and making pizzas, plus 5 delivery drivers. Our pizza maybe took a few minutes longer than normal, but we were given free breadsticks to make up for it. Such a cool thing to do and we will make sure to return. Also, just ask if they have any specials on pizza and they will straight up give you a great discount. No digging for that illusive coupon in your email or in the newspaper. They know what's up. read more

I'm a big fan of eating local and tipping nicely for delivery drivers. Today I was treated extremely rudely by staff today at Sarpino's. My order took 1 hour and 25 minutes to arrive, longer than expected - it happens, I get it; however, the delivery driver was rude - he called me for directions and then cut me off mid sentence and told me I needed to stop talking so he could ask me a question. Then the driver had to call me back to ask me what I was trying to tell him in the first place when he cut me off. Then the order was wrong - again, I know it happens. I called the store to let them know I got the wrong order and Ryan (not sure of role) told me it would take another 40 minutes. I explained that I was frustrated about having to wait an additional 40 minutes and he told me I could request a refund from the manager. I told him I wasn't looking for a refund, just surprised that it would take another 40 minutes after already waiting so long for my first order. He kept saying it takes 25 minutes to get to my location (it's more like 15 on a busy traffic day) and that I should just take the refund. So I said I didn't want a refund and that I guess it's gonna be another 40 minutes. He then said I needed to "stop." Stop what? I can't express my frustration for having to wait more than 2 hours for a pepperoni calzone? He replied with, "no" and then said that I "have no reason to be upset and that I needed to stop." Whatever, Ryan, I talked to Rob, the owner, shortly after the call to you. Either way, I will not eat from Sarpino's again. I won't support a restaurant that treats customers this way. There are a lot of great places with great staff out there to eat at. read more

I found this place on my visits to Iowa. Good pizza but the rest of the items... not the best. If I'm eating here it's for the pizza only! See for yourself! read more

Good taste, but like many other pizzas of this type, crust was a little tuff. Had delivered to hotel room, took awhile, but was fairly warm when it arrived. I would eat again. read more

So we went to "Pump It Up" for a child's birthday party. Pump It Up is a party place. They ordered pizza from Sarpino's. I had low expectations considering everything. But the pizza was surprisingly good. Nice sauce, good cheese and crust. Who figured I'd have good pizza at a seven year old's birthday ? read more

I love this place. They shred fresh mozzarella by hand every day, make the fresh dough, I asked them what they do. They said they do not use any frozen ingredients, what I get is done that day. Comparing to other pizza places, it actually tastes like fresh cheese pizza. I like to go simple: Meat pizza and mushrooms, nothing said, son. Small place but definitely a little gem in West Des Moines! read more
