NEED PIZZA REVIEWS

Went with friends on a Friday afternoon. The place is clean, the staff very friendly. The pizza we had was large, red with Canadian bacon, Italian sausage and green peppers. Service was quick, drinks and the food. Great place to hang out and chill. Also notice they have a walk up window to get a slice later at night if you're out cruising the boulevard. Prices were surprisingly good.

Need Pizza is my favorite pizza place in Cedar Rapids! It is absolutely delicious, flavorful, high quality, and well-made. We usually order the pepperoni pizza. The ordering and pickup process for takeout orders is quick and easy. The prices are reasonable and you get a good amount for your money. Staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommend! I will be back soon.

Some of the best pizza I've had outside of Chicago. They do the New Haven style justice for the Midwest. They also have an amazing local beer selection which is top notch, and a superior hospitality team. Keep up the great work.

PIZZA RANCH CEDAR RAPIDS REVIEWS

Loved it, been there for years, amazing food, always freshly made, in love with their cookie pizza, mashed potatoes and chicken. Salad bar is my immediate go to with great selections. Shoutout to the guy named Caleb, great enthusiasm, high energy, get it done type of guy, helped me numerous times while I was there, and really just brings a positive vibe.

Appreciate the fast and friendly service! Caleb helped with my order, was very kind and courteous, and hand delivered it with a smile as wide as the Grand Canyon :).

LEONARDO'S REVIEWS

My grandparents got engaged here, my parents told my grandparents they got engaged here. My family has been eating here for decades and generations. I no longer live in Iowa but LOVE coming to this preserved gem when I come home Everytime! I love this place, it’s neat and quaint and full of memories for all of us! You can enjoy pizza and great drink options here.

I've been coming here for the last 30 plus years. Not enough can be said about 5 stars across the board. Fun dated atmosphere, great staff, incredible food, etc. My favorite pizza has always been the Stromboli. The apps are mouth watering. And being raised in the Midwest, the BEST ranch around. Even if you're in the mood for a salad. They are HUGE, they are AMAZING, and filling.

First time in and Jill was delightful. Came for some lunch specials, margarita was fantastic and the pizza was awesome. Definitely beat my expectations. Will definitely be back with friends and family. Nice clean, calm atmosphere :).
