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.

Today we came to Sigourney to spend time with some family and they asked us to join them for some pizza from this local place called Nicks Pizza. Im always down for some pizza. We decided to give the menu a spin and we got breadsticks. (sorry no pictures they were gone as soon as they hit the table.) The breadsticks were amazing home made deliciousness! They were almost a mix between pizza hut and northern lights pizza bread sticks and they were AMAZING! We ordered the Greek pizza and the house pizza. The crusts were homemade perfectly crispy and perfectly sauced. The Greek pizza had perfect gyro meat and a mix of onions it was amazing. The house pizza was like a supreme pizza but the most delicious topings and the perfect crust. Im not sure if im sad or glad I dont live closer. If I lived closer I might weigh a few hundred more pounds because I would be here every day! This is a great stop here in Sigourney and I will for sure be back. If you are in town stop by and see what i mean. 5 star all the way!

When we have a hankering for taco pizza on our trips to Iowa, we usually go with the original at…read moreHappy Joe's, but on a recent occasion we decided to pick up from Wig & Pen, as we were curious about how it would work as a deep-dish Chicago style pizza. Also, there were some in our group who are decidedly not fans of this particular concoction, so we had to choose a place that offered something a little more traditional. In addition to the taco pizza, we got one of their Union Jacks, which most closely resembles Giordano's special. With regard to the taco pizza, it differs from the Happy Joe's version in that it isn't made with refried beans, which I think is a critical component of a proper taco pizza. Still good, but not quite what I was looking for. The Union Jack was good, a very classic Chicago-style pizza. The crust was good, maybe just a little dry. In any case, this satisfied our cravings but we'll be getting one of those Happy Joe's originals soon.

I visited family in Iowa City in 2025 and had pizza from here that I thought was pretty good, so I…read moretried it again in June 2026. It was a mistake. First the food. I have never experienced such an overdose of salt. Nothing would extinguish the thirst. I tried it a second time, eating a smaller amount the leftovers, with the same result. Even if it had enough salt omitted to be edible, it was very unremarkable pizza, all three of them. Much of it was thrown away. And the ordering. Their web presence is extremely confusing. My siblings who have lived there for years still can't figure out how many locations there are among Iowa City, Coralville and North Liberty, or how to control who you order from. We ordered three pizzas but then couldn't tell for sure that we ordered from Iowa City. So we called the Iowa City location to be sure they had our order, and they said yes, ready in 30 minutes. My niece drove there, to be told they knew nothing about it. They finally figured out that it went to a different location, so she drove quite a distance and eventually found it. The staff were not interested. Fortunately they have an email address where you can write them about your experience. Unfortunately, they will not reply. Very expensive and time consuming experience for food we couldn't eat. (We had much better results getting one made at Hy-Vee, far better pizza for around half the price.)

It was the final day of Thanksgiving Break. The Sunday Scaries were setting in and all the…read moreleftovers in the fridge sounded... uh, less than stellar. I threw out a few options to the fam and pizza won them over. Alas... the freezer was stocked with frozen options but that both sounded like too much work and again, uh, less than stellar. I popped on CHOMP Delivery to see what could be brought to my door. At that time and on that day there were a handful of options. Huzzah! Wig & Pen East to the rescue! While the Flying Tomato is the GOAT of all pizzas in the area (I will die on that hill) we were feeling less cheese and more sauce. (I was saddened to see the Detroit Style 'za is not slung at this location.) We opted for the Chicago Style. It's a stuffed deep dish pizza loaded with mozzarella and topped with a chunky sauce on top. Tomatoey perfection. It is sublime as is but we also got half with pepperoni, for good measure. Additionally, I am a sucker for breadsticks. Wig & Pen East has a lot of options! From the tried the true garlic bread to the cheese filled breadsticks. (Bosco sticks, anyone?) We got the ladder, because-- uh why not? The food came on time. The pricing is pretty standard-- we opted for the large and had plenty of leftovers. Each slice is very, very filling. The pie itself was perfection. The crust is so light and flakey. The four breadsticks that came hit the spot. Overall, the Sunday Scaries were forgotten for a time and I didn't have to cook. I'll consider that a win! Check their website out and order truly anything but especially the Flying Tomato or Chicago Style. You won't regret Wig (though you may need to unbutton your pants after indulging).
