Great Plains

The Oat Crust is thick, but it makes for the best pizza in Ames. Its not the typical midwestern cracker, but actually has some weight to it.

Prairie Special, Denver Style! Fantastic!

best lunch deal downtown.

Great Plains Sauce and Dough has the best pizza I‘ve ever had. It‘s pizza made the way pizza was meant to be. Great crust, lots of cheese and fresh ingredients.

Probably the best pizza in the world. The thick oat crust is incredible. Lots of toppings....nothing else really compares.

LOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE this place! I go there every time I go to Ames to see my grandparents:) (I even have a shrit from Great Plains)

This Place rocks I have been coming since well....only God knows when:) I love Great Plains:)

AWESOME pizza!!! Enough to feed a crowd, and have some left over, not a wimpy pizza for sure! I love the new raised area up above.

Everyone I know seems to love this place. The pizza tastes good, but both times I‘ve eaten there, I‘ve become very sick shortly after...

awesome pizza!! especially if you‘re like me and love a TON of cheese!! The oat crust is a good healthy alternative to white and is great with the honey!

I‘ve ordered twice, trying to see what my friend sees in this pizza --- but it just doesn‘t do it for me.

Come here for great pizza, unlike any other that I have had anywhere. Interesting twist is the honey for the crust. Order the Buffalo and a pitcher, a small pizza is plenty for a couple.

This is an Ames area classic. To really enjoy your experience here you need to have the thick crust pizza. This is the claim to fame. This is "thick" pizza, not deep dish. It‘s got a style all of its own, you can choose white, wheat and oat crusts. I personally am not a fan of their sauce, but it is muted with the 5 lbs of cheese you get on these bad boys. If you are in the Ames area, this is a "must" on your list, and is vying for the Pizza Championship of Ames.

Always great food!! My family‘s top pick for pizza night!!

GREAT Pizza and reasonably priced! an ames favorite!

Pizza is good - different and heavy. Tough to eat more than a slice or two of the thick crust.

NEver had better pizza...ever!

Famous for the thick crust I‘d urge one to try Sam‘s recipe for an outstanding thin crust.

Best Pizza I‘ve had in Ames. However, it may seem just a little above average when compared to pizza outside of Iowa. Iowans tend to smother everything with cheese. That said... don‘t order extra cheese or you‘ll be blocked up for a couple of weeks. It is good pizza though... and I continually go back. Go with the thin crust or you‘ll be full after one slice.

Having problem typing because my keyboard is covered in drool just thinking about the exquisite goodness that is Great Plains Sauce and Dough Coimpany.

Interesting setup with no waitresses, but the food is very good.

I love the cheeses on the thick crust pizza, but my husband likes the thin crust. Often too busy - and often no one cleans the tables, so you end up just stacking the dirty stuff on the edge.

Surly service. Thickest crust in town. Generally overrated.

I went there a couple times, trying diferent thick crust pizzas. Quite heavy, and slow to digest.

Best thick crust pizza arounbd--but actually they make a decent thin crust too. Good sausage and sauce. Go with the oat crust.

have only been there once, 5 years ago, but I remember how good it was and recommended it to a friend who was visiting Ames. Excellent pizza!

the pizza is delicious and unique. its fun to try something new and dip your pizza crust in honey.

This is by far the best pizza in town. Call ahead; they can be busy, especially on the weekends.

Prices are good for pizza of this quality!

This place is always packed, they serve honey with their pizzas because they make their crusts with beer (and it goes together in some strange way!). Excellent, not too pricey either.
