WOW! This is my new favorite pizza joint! I love the incredibly thin crust! Not only is it golden and crispy on the bottom (even after transport), but it’s also chewy on top! Appropriate amount of cheese, sauce, and fresh toppings. Maybe I’m a little biased because this is the type of pizza I grew up with on the East Coast…But, I honestly just think this is top tier! Your taste buds are the best testimony. They have their pre-made slices on display behind the counter. We tried a piece of the white pizza (mozzarella and ricotta) while we were waiting for a full pie to be made. They have a 2-topping special on Tuesdays so we took advantage of that!

We ordered takeout for Valentine’s Day and it was perfect! We got the Margarita pizza and it was light and refreshing! The garlic knots are an absolute must! The cannoli was delicious too! It was our first time trying it and we will be back!

Taste of New York Pizza in Waukee is easily one of the best pizza spots around. The crust is perfectly thin with just the right crunch, the sauce has great flavor, and the cheese is always fresh and generous. The slices are huge and filling, just like you’d expect from a real New York–style place.
The staff is friendly and quick, even when they’re busy, and the atmosphere is casual and welcoming. Whether you’re grabbing a quick slice or ordering a whole pie, the quality is consistently great. If you’re looking for authentic New York–style pizza in Iowa, this place is a must-try.

Great pizza! The 4 stars for service is based on the timing of the Slice app of which is needed to place a take out order. I’d recommend doubling the time the Slice app provides if Friday or Saturday evening. App stated 30 minutes and did not adjust. From past experience I knew it was going to take longer than this so I took my time and arrived 10 minutes after the app said order was ready. Waited in restaurant for 20 minutes with many others. I have no problem waiting, however would recommend providing a realistic timeframe.

The pizza was good. They are changing locations in the same strip mall. Great place to grab a quick slice.

When a piece of pie hits your tongue, and it gets excited you know you have a good pizza. The Chicken Alfredo and Pepperoni Pizza has a balance of crispy firm crust and high quality ingredients with melty cheese all cooked to perfection. Whether you order a slice or a whole pie the sensational taste will have your taste buds wanting to hold on to every delicious flavor.

Finally—real New York-style pizza in Iowa! Taste of New York Pizza absolutely nails it. The crust is perfectly thin and foldable, the sauce is flavorful without overpowering, and the cheese is just right. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients, and everything tastes fresh and homemade.
I stopped in for a couple slices and ended up taking a whole pie home. The staff was so kind and welcoming—it really added to the whole experience. The vibe felt like a legit NYC pizzeria—laid-back but bustling. If you’re craving that classic East Coast flavor (or just a seriously good slice), this is the spot. Can’t wait to go back and try the Sicilian!

Never had this place. Called and said they sold pizza by the slice. I got there to see they had quite a bit of a selection for pizzas by the slice. They basically just warm it back up in the oven so I don’t know how fresh the pizza is and when they hand it to you it felt really light I got the barbecue chicken and I’m realizing that for over $5 for a single slice I’m not getting much value. I probably won’t be back because of this. Mostly crust. Maybe a couple tablespoons of cheese per slice.

I was in town visiting and came across this Pizzeria. I can’t say enough good things about this place! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the mouthwatering aroma of freshly baked dough and sizzling toppings. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, and the service is always quick—even during the busy hours.
The pizza itself? Absolute perfection. The crust is that perfect balance of crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The sauce is rich and flavorful without being overpowering, and the toppings are always fresh and generously portioned!
