This place has good pizza, but expect to pay an arm and leg for one, then dedicate at least 1 1/2 - 2 hours of your afternoon or evening waiting on your food.
Great plains has been in business for a long time which is respectable. However they really need to tone down the high prices and offer hard working folks a bargain from time to time. They never have coupons or deals as other pizza joints do.
This makes it very hard to give them my business.
On a positive note the pizza is very tasty.

Their pizza is very good...and filling! I often go there for lunch and all I need is one slice to get filled up. (I think it‘s $1.50 a slice or something like that, so it‘s a great deal at lunch time.) If you love cheese, this is the pizza place for you! The crust is a meal in itself - with the honey they supply, you have your meal and dessert all in one...yum! Speaking of dessert, they make the most awesome monster cookies (oatmeal with m&m‘s). They‘re big cookies - homemade, warm and yummy! The cookies go fast so you need to get their early for lunch before they‘re all gone. (I don‘t know if they have them at dinner or not). Service is kind of slow, but they know it and I don‘t think that will ever change (they sell t-shirts and through the years, some have shown a grim reaper or said something to the effect of ‘the best is worth the wait‘). GPSD is an Ames tradition - I love their pizza!

Lots of dough and cheese. Sausage has an off-taste to it. Lots of congestions when ordering. Dining area makes me feel claustrophobic. Lack of proper food handling in kitchen.

I only have had their thick crust, both wheat and white. It is a very unique type of pizza relative to others in town. I don‘t think the taste is anything exceptional but if you want something above the average delivery joint in town this is a good break.

Amazing!! but yeah, like everyone said it‘s slow. Plan on getting there early if you plan on eating around dinner time.
