The pizza is always top notch...you may have to wait for a table as it is a small place and people this is awesome pizza. THICK rolled crust, that comes with honey and lots of toppings..AWESOME pizza...Draw back is....it is always busy and crowded...and you have to order and wait in line. Take friends to hold your table OR carry out.

I had a pizza and cold beer after Ghost Brothers of Darkland County I was very happy to find this place with the atmosphere and the good food.

A unique and delicious detour from the pizza that we all take for granted. Plentiful in every respect, and consistently satisfying. The thin crust is more conventional, but with the varieties and ingredients everyone should be able to find something to enjoy. And the pizza isn't the whole story; thy one of their hearty sandwiches. Gordy and Catman created something different 34 years ago, and it has withstood the test of time!

I had heard of Great Plains, but this was our first stop. Great atmosphere. Reasonable wait time for pizza, but no wait for a booth. Staff are friendly. Variety of crusts. The thick wheat crust was tasty but heavier than I would prefer. Glad I had it. I see from other reviews we were supposed to dip the crust in honey. No one told us and no honey was provided. Oh well. I was so stuffed it didn't matter. Liked the lighter white crust too. Will definitely be back to try the others.

Big thick slices of pizza with potato, whole wheat, or regular crust. Popular Ames restaurant. When you are done with your wheat slice you can have "dessert" by putting honey on the big crust.
