Had dinner at Chuck's the other night and it was excellent! The service was excellent, our waiter was not only taking care of us but also making pizza's but he did an amazing job taking care of us! The beer was cold - the mugs were amazingly chilled, and they brought us fresh ones with every beer, even after we got a pitcher! The pizza was even better than I remembered and oh.my.god the onion rings. Sorry Maxie's, you've been beat out by Chuck's. Hands down the best in town! We will be back. Soon. More...

Reservations for 18, seated at separate tables at 5:30 pm. Asked for water 3 times. Sandwiches ordered were supposedly lost, since we had 3 toddlers had to ask for them To-Go almost 2 hrs later (7:15 pm). Had to wait again and charged full price for everything + 18% gratuity. Then when we get home with the sandwiches the bread was not correct and no marinara like the menu said. Other sandwich has wilted lettuce and soggy fries. No longer hungry & so disappointing!

Probably top 5 in the city. Definitely top 10. Delicious Des Moines thin crust pizza and excellent thin onion rings. Pizza is very very good. Very thin. Highly recommend. Also live music and nice place. Legendary Des Moines institution. Right up there with the best. More...

Great NorthSide Staple! Great food! Great service! Great atmosphere!

Reviewed on Facebook

After buying a home in Highland Park this summer we were excited to dive into North Side staples. Now multiple visits into Chuck's, I'd say consistency is an ongoing challenge. The wait staff all seem lovely but service is patchy, my favorite Italian American dish, chicken parm, has been wildly different each time, and waits can be long even when largely quite empty. Recently we went on a Saturday night that was met with a largely empty dining room but a very long wait for food. The most consistent 'win' seems to be their pizza, onion rings, and generously priced drinks. We'll go back for pizza and (maybe) sandwiches but skip the pasta and more significant entrees. More...

It had been far too long since I visited Chuck’s. I had a pizza. It was as delicious as I remember and brought back many memories of North High awards banquets in the party room. Fantastic pie!!

This place used to be one of those go to places always for us and looked forward to the meal we would have. EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED! I understand employing kids however, I do not understand why you would change the very foundation of what made this a hit for years, THE FOOD. It was awful, The onion rings were greasy and not many. My husband had fettuccine alfredo it was brown. I have never seen brown fettuccine alfredo, usually the sauce is a delicate creamy milk color. The chicken added to this was grilled probably two days ago .. it was hard as a brick bat. My cavatelli was absolutely too spicy to eat. Made with their homemade sausage and two pieces of Mozzarella slices directly out of a package. They didnt' even use shredded mozzarella. The condiments set on the table should have given me a clue. They use Hunt's ketchup. I will never ever go back again. The true Chuck's is dead. Do not spend your good hard earned money here you will be sorely disappointed. More...

We really want to love this place after the remodel & investment to uplift it. The food was awful. Inedible fried chicken & I had to ask what else was on the plate because I had no idea it was hash browns, it looked like an old pancake. We asked how the baked potatoes were & the waiter said "hit or miss depends on who's cooking" we sent back awful chicken dinner & shared a sandwich. Maybe they should just stick to booze & pizza. Yuk. More...

Mozzarella sticks were delicious. Salad brought out with spicy ranch instead of creamy Parmesan. Waiter said he had tasted it to check it because he wasn’t sure…? ! Cavatelli was made with rotini, watery sauce. Hot sausage sandwich had a soaking wet soggy bottom bun, would have preferred Graziano sausage. Meatball sandwich was enjoyed but also had a soggy bun. Waiter was inexperienced. If we go back we’ll try the pizza. More...

We looked forward to this restaurant. Heard they had remodeled and reopened. Parents in our group had been long-time guests of this restaurant for many years apparently. Our experience today was lower than sub-par. I felt like I could have made a better meal and I am not Italian nor a good cook. Everyone's food was cold. Cold meatballs. Cold Italian sausage. Small medallion eggplant and little flavor. Only the bread was good. As well as some of the appetizers. Brussels sprouts were over cooked. We will not be back More...

Have been going there for 60 years. Always had great food,pizza onion rings and service! We went last night and will not go back. Surly,rude indifferent staff. Had to finally ask for water. The rude waitress finally slammed down two bottles of beer,tries asking for glasses. Nope. Finally here come those o ion rings! Always loved them! In the middle of the pile,a big ball of raw onion and flour. Oh well, said our waitress. Guess they didn't shake the basket. No offer to fix anything , here comes the pizza! My husband had his favorite, Italian sausage! Crust was like the good Ole crust! Sauce tasted of nothing and the sausage was bland. My margarita pizza was a soggy bland tomato pie. They had to use 3 whole tomatoes, sliced on it. Absolutely disgusting mess! My husband called it to the servers attention She glared at us. No offer again to fix anything, adjust the bill, new pizza,nothing. Slammed a Togo box down and the bill. What a ruined night! At least I have past memories of what wasAnd will hopefully forget what it is, now. More...

Well we heard this place had some really good food, so we decided to check it out. I had pizza, and my husband had lasagna. My pizza was delicious even though they forgot a topping that I really wanted. It was right off the menu, not a custom pizza, so that was odd. My husband was less than impressed with his meal. He said it was boring, bland. Like they forgot the spices. Really disappointed in this place. They supposedly just did a huge remodel. Which is interesting because it looked like nothing had been redone since the 70's. Seriously, the paneling next to our table was coming off the wall. Hope they spent the money in the kitchen, because it wasn't obvious in the dining area. Overall, not loving this place unfortunately. More...

How have I not written a review for Chucks?A few years ago, my wife and I went on a quest for the best old school thin crust pizza. We hit nearly every pizza place in the DSM/Ames area trying different pizzas. If you want to read about our adventures, and our thoroughly unscientific scale, go to <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fquestforpizza.blogspot.com&amp;s=931facf3ad5c7a15a5bc81d3ca0fa8e9227a285723b66d996d7acea26b6b5832" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">questforpizza.blogspot.c…</a>.Anyway, we made our way out to Chucks tonight for the first time since they reopened. We had a to go order once a few weeks ago, but it's so much better to eat there.It seems like they have updated some of their ovens, and you can tell, they aren't as well seasoned yet and the crust is a little clean for it. But, it is still the best thin crust pizza in Des Moines. We usually get a sausage/GP/mushroom pizza, but decided to go with the Capocolla this time. We now have a new go-to pizza. We will drop the mushrooms next time, since they can be so overpowering, but wow, spectacular.The Fried Ravioli was marvelous, as always. The staff was friendly and efficient. It really is the best in town. There are several places that are very close, but Chucks is the one we go back to time and time again. More...

Newly remodeled and the pizza is still amazing. Crust was amazing thin and crunchy. Lots of toppings. The cheese logs are like 4 normal sized cheese sticks in one. The remodel did not modernize the ambience which I think is good. You don't want to lose all the character of an old school restaurant. More...

Des Moines staple that if you've never been here, don't call yourself a local. This place has been around for a LONG TIME and has a long, well-deserved history and reputation. My husband and I met a friend on a frigid night. We were able to find street parking rather close and ran inside. We opted to be seated on the kitchen side to be away from the door.We started with a half order of thin onion rings. I would have preferred them a tad more cooked, but that's just how I like thin onion rings. My husband had the vegetarian pizza, I had meat lovers and our friend ordered the mozzarella one. Everyone enjoyed our pizzas. The waitress was friendly and prompt with refills and our check. If you haven't been, go to Chuck's and get yourself some pizza! More...
