Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Was clean and welcoming. Staff was so friendly and helpful when explaining menu items. The Arancini (cheese and also the meat one) is something I order here every time we are in Des Moines. DELICIOUS! My husband got the ziti and loved it. Pizza slices...are huge, as well as all the portion sizes of their food. We have yet to have a bad meal here and we will be back.More

Stopped for a quick bite at lunchtime - 2 pm on a Saturday. Easy in and out! Had 2 slices of chicken Parmesan pizza to go which they heated up quickly. Crust was very crispy - perfect! Toppings: chunks of chicken, thick flavorful tomato paste...sauce, cheese melted and fresh basil! Everything was delicious and the price was reasonable!More

I lived most of my life in New England. Most recently in Connecticut (fairly close to NYC). This place is the real deal. I could immediately tell when I saw the pizzas in the display being sold by the meal-sized big slices. They also had...garlic knots, calzones spinach rolls, pepperoni rolls, strombolis in the display. The slice of chicken alfredo was awesome. The pizza crust was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft inside. Great sauce, great toppings, and the right amount of good quality cheese. - Absolutely loved it!More

Great pizza by the slice or whole. Reminds me of a local Italian pizza place where I grew up as a kid.

Had the buffalo chicken and it was fantastic. We shared tastes but I though the buffalo chicken was the best. Not burn-your-mouth-off hot, just right.

Taste of New York makes a good pizza. My family stayed in a hotel across the street from the pizzeria and had several pizza's delivered to feed a basketball team and family in town for a tourney. The pizzas were delivered hot and fresh. Loads...of toppings and very tasty. Plenty of plates, napkins and utensils made the dinner very easy. Slices are big. The combo was my favorite as it was loaded with flavor. The pricing was split and came out to $7 a person and I was stuffed after 4 slices. I would eat here again.More

We we're looking forward to eating here based on reviews. Very dissatisfied. No flavor Crust was over worked maybe? Result was a subpar Cheese pizza. Meatball calzone, burned on bottom, was a big lump of dough w one meatball in it and some cheese. Choked...it down because I paid so much for the meal. $39 for the three items. Baked Ziti was alright, good sugo, even though pasta noodles were overcooked. Not a good representation of NY Style pizza or Italian foodMore

Just about as close to NY as you can get in Iowa, excellent crust, holds up perfectly when folded, very little grease drip, texture, taste, aroma perfecto! Plenty of items to choose from, pizza by the slice or take home an entire pie to share,...atmosphere makes you think you in Manhattan, only thing missing is the drone of sirens and hornsMore

This pizza is the closest you can come to in Des Moines for "New York" style pizza. Extremely good. I go back as often as I'm in that neighborhood.

Ordered online at 3:15 and ten minutes later I arrived to pick up my order. All the staff was in the back and the place was empty. Someone finally went to the front to attend to me and they had no clue I had placed...an order. The guy had to call their online order center to confirm. I should at least have been offered a free soda for the wait, nada. And the pizza is expensive to boot. I paid $50 for two pizzas and some bread sticks. I'm still waiting as we speak, 3:40 now. This better be good pizza.More

We ordered pizza to go on a Friday night right before closing and they were still very busy, so when there was an error on our order, I could understand why. We ordered three pizzas: Chicken Parmigiana Tony's Special Meat Pizza Pepperoni, which didn't have...the pepperoni's, but for cheese pizza it was very good. Just a note: their thick crust is REALLY thick (1.5-2 inches thick), so make sure that is what you want, especially for youngsters. Their thin crust was wonderful! I would recommend this pizza, especially because it was tasty, different and their service was friendly and welcoming.More

If you are ever hungry for good pizza and are on the west side of Des Moines, you need to stop in at Taste of New York Pizza. We did one weekend and were very happy. The test was the plain cheese slice - which...was excellent. High quality, great taste, a must.More

Ate here last night with the family. Reading the story, it’s owned by a retired NY police officer and his family. He definitely brought some New York back with him in his pizzas! We ordered a whole pie: half T.O.N.Y.’s Special (meatball, sausage, pepperoni) and...half veggies. Nice 18” pizza, cut into 1/8ths so the slices are large! Total with drinks and tip was about $35: not bad for a high quality pizza. Between three adults and a 2 year old, we ate seven out of eight slices because it was so delicious. The ingredients were fresh and the cheese was definitely some high quality mozzarella. The dining section is fairly small, but enough for about 30-40 people. I highly recommend this Mom & Pop pizzeria, it was extremely good!More
