“ Good little place for yummy food. Great location and parking. Handicap accessible. Service is very good. ”
“ Stopped by for some pizza after a bike ride. Got the BBQ pizza. I found the crust to be unique and tasteful. A little thicker crust with a very crisp bottom - win for the texture! Good flavor for a pretty classic BBQ pizza. We were able to order and play at the cute park in town square and bring it outside to eat and enjoy a beautiful day. The staff accommodated our requests to change to go at the last minute. Good pizza, fun location! ”
“ We get takeout from Papa's once a month. It's hard to say "no" to the best pizza ever. The homemade marinara is amazing, but my favorite pizza is the BBQ Chicken Pizza on thin crust. Plus, you've got to get the bread sticks...SO GOOD! ”
“ Love this place. A bit pricy, but it is what it is. Service and waitstaff are hit and miss, but the food is always spot on. ”
“ We ordered some dinner to-go from Papa's while visiting the brewery next door on a work trip. The interior was a large industrial type space that would be great for groups. Super convenient to just walk over and be able to bring food/pizza back to our beers as the brewery. Online ordering kept failing, so we called and placed separate orders and they were very accommodating. The pizza was good, and I loved that it wasn't caked in a solid layer of cheese like some places. It had a lovely ratio of everything. They do have non-pizza items on the menu as well. Their pizzas come in a bunch of sizes, which is so convenient. You can even get a mini pizza. Everybody wanted something different on their pizza, so they also have small pizzas or the option to do half and half. Much appreciated. ”
“ 4.25* (out of 5) Food: 5* Atmosphere: 4* Value: 4* Service: 4* We stopped here with my parents and 2 of our sons as we enjoyed a previous visit and thought my parents would like the pizza (they did). The group also enjoyed the humorous / edgy decor and signage around the restaurant (pizza signage for the restrooms for example - see pictures). Since we were hungry when we arrived, we started with a couple of orders of Garlic Cheese Bread with marinara (see picture) and a beer. The cheese bread was good and just as we finished it up, the pizza arrived. We ordered a large Supper Pappa (thin - see picture) and a large Pepperoni (pan - see picture) and thought both of them were excellent. Lastly, I have a hard time leaving this place without having at least one of the Thelma's ice cream / cookie sandwiches from the cooler. Everyone was already very full, so I talked the kitchen into cutting it into quarters for us so that we could each have a bite for dessert. They have a great selection of flavors, so make sure you try one before you leave. If you found this review helpful, please show your appreciation with a Like or a Follow.

“ Best pizza in Polk City. I also like the fact that the Polk City high school kids are working here. ”
“ After hearing very good reviews from locals in the area, my wife and I decided to take in lunch today at Papa's Pizzeria in Polk City. It was a great experience in a very clean nice little building. It's not much for atmosphere, but that doesn't matter all that much because when you walk in you get that great smell of a pizza kitchen and that sets the tone. For an appetizer we ordered the fried dill pickle spears, and they appeared to be fresh and battered in house. The pickles still had a nice crunch to them and great flavor with a nice Panko crust. We ordered a small Meatza pizza for lunch, and it was tremendous. Pepperoni, sausage, Canadian bacon, and bacon all together on a nice thin crust. The crust had great snap and chew to it. Their sauce is straightforward and delicious and certainly not over done. It was a very nice pizza. As a bonus, the place also has a couple domestics on draft and also a nice selection of handles of local Iowa craft beer on draft as well. All in all I will definitely recommend to others and plan to return myself. ”
