Reviews for Wig & Pen Pizza Pub in Ankeny, IA

Went to this place for the first time on a Friday. Got seated right away and we?re told that any pizza or anything that needed... an oven to cook would take over an hour. An HOUR?! The dining area wasn?t even full. I?m glad our waitress was transparent andtold us up front about it, but this place needs to get another oven to keep up with orders. Our waitress was super attentive andnice so we decided to wait for a pizza since it was our first time here and we knew that?s what they?re known for. We ended upwaiting over an hour and got our pizza. It was good but not sure if we?ll be back if it takes that long. Read more

This place has way more than just pizza. Good sandwiches, apps, etc. The pizza was very good. We had the east-sider on thin... crust. Read more

Stepped in for lunch after some errands and was pretty quiet (wich I enjoyed, I already work at 2 fast paced companies). Ryan,... the bartender, was really attentive and nice. I had a house salad and some homemade French onion soup, so good! Guy next to mehad the tomato soup, also said it was good. Long islands are on special on Fridays, they are on my approved list, as well! Willdefinitely go back with family, friends or on my own! They have tables, bar or patio to choose from. Read more

My husband and I are taco pizza snobs. Hands down they have the BEST taco pizza we have ever had in 40 years. Today was our... first visit that will lead to hundreds more in the future. The staff was all extremely friendly!! Read more

A nice scotch selection & know how to poor a Guinness, not everybody that serves Guinness knows how topour it.. The place is clean & well kept.. Oh, they have a patio to hang on... Read more

Love the deep dish pizza here! Please, please, please, don't expect deep dish pizza in 30 minutes or less people! It takes time,... even in a comercial pizza oven to cook a deep dish pizza. 45 minutes MINIMUM. It is so worth the wait though! On this visit wehad the thin crust for the first time. Gotta tell you it was absolutely fantastic as well! We also arrived late unknowinglywalking in 45 minutes before closing. No dirty looks. No rushed decision. No feeling we're intruding or impeding theirprogress at all. Very welcoming and exactly the same service I've experienced here before. Refreshing to say the least. Read more

We love the pizza and wings from Wig and Pen. The deep dish is delightful and the thin crust is perfect. It?s nice to be able... to pickup or dine in. The bartender is always ready to help if you have to wait for the kitchen while picking up. They willeven keep your order in the warmer if you need to get a beer! Read more

Immediate seating and drink order. Place is clean and staff pleasant. Ordered the Carnivore pizza. Was very good tasting and... maybe a tad oily/greasy but could be due to a lot of meat in the pizza. Pizza was nice and juicy and I liked the sauce-not toooverpowering. Had onion rings appetizer. Thin sliced, fresh, and crispy. Glad we got there a little early as it neared normaldining hours it filled up fast. Menu has sandwhiches and more too. Would eat here again. Read more
