Wade ScholtenDecember 6, 2011They have started offering slices during the lunch hour, check their twitter for the two selections. Also available at Hawkeye football games right on Melrose, right across from the stadium.
Ashley KasperApril 1, 2018One of the best pizza places in town. We love to order gusto for takeout. Upper scale pizza but able to bring home for movie night
Larry BietzAugust 13, 2019Great bruschetta!!! 5 out of 5 stars. I would have it again . The pizza is great as well. A perfect meal for any foodie.
Nathan WrightMay 30, 2017My go-to Des Moines pizza spot when I'm not feeling like soggy cardboard+sauce delivery and want to get out of the house. The pizza is slightly upscale but not intimidating for first-timers.
A number of great Gusto originals her, but my favorite is the Soprano. Also, get the salad with the house balsamic vinaigrette.
Hannah GarrisonSeptember 30, 2012Try the Il Figaro- alfredo, pears, figs, prosciutto (sub mushrooms!), blue cheese and mixed greens; or the Aphrodite- roasted red pep pesto, goat cheese, red onion, fresh basil and balsamic reduction.
@515HawkFanDecember 14, 2014Surprised at how good it was. I got one of their lunch specials - small specialty pizza with cup of soup. I told a coworker it was good. I'll be back sooner than later.
Brenda KochevarJuly 1, 2016The Fromage Blue salad was fantastic and big (we split it)!! Great beer selection too.
Great gourmet pizzas with a seasonal selection, shitty parking at their Ingersoll locale. Watch for their food truck at every major Des Moines event.- Gusto Pizza Co.November 4, 2011Don't forget to check in to foursquare when you come. We'll give you a free fountain drink when you do! Just make sure to tell your friends on Facebook and Twitter that you're here!
The create your own provides your favorite fresh ingredients on a fantastic thin, gluten free crust!
Juice MagazineFebruary 21, 2013The urban interior can be deceiving, but make no mistake — the ingredients on its No. 24 pizza taste like they’re straight from the farm and field. Give it a try. Read more
Barbie BushNovember 30, 2012*GLUTEN-FREE = Pizza Crust = It is DELICIOUS!! It's a "Thin&Crispy" TREAT!! ~*Loved It*
Try the State Fair Special - Pizza topped with mini-corndogs, pickles, onions & mustard/ketchup base.
Drew Van Woert 🍺July 22, 2011Good selection of Iowa-made beers. A little pricey on the food though. $20 for 10" pizza, house salad and a beer- Try the #24 - Beef brisket, jalapeño creamed corn, blue cheese, red onion, sweet corn
CASSIE SEMERADMay 9, 2011Best pizza downtown! The spartacus is great, and the nutella cannoli is mandatory!
Friendly and delicious option for vegetarians, vegans and those avoiding gluten.
Bringing together local Iowa beer and brilliant pizza, Gusto Pizza Co. is the place to go.
Gluten free goodness. It's just as tasty as the real thing, so I'm told.
Annelise TarnowskiOctober 8, 2012Cold sandwich? Get the pesto chicken salad. Hot and spicy? Rick's Roll.
Drake UniversityAugust 16, 2011Check 'em out on Twitter @GustoPizzaDM. And try their specialty pizzas, of course.
I'm kind of obsessed with the Vincent Van Goat. It's so good!!
I love this place but recommend you ask for a receipt. Twice I've been charged for a more expensive item I didn't order. They always are gracious about refunds but it's a pain. I blame the acoustics.

Vegetarian's: they'll make a pie without the meat! That's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
