Wig & Pen East — Restaurant in Iowa City

You will be told by adherents that the flying tomato, a style of pizza unique to Wig and Pen, is great.This is wrong. The flying tomato is mostly cheese. Unless you like cheese pizza, the flying tomato is 'eh'.

What you will probably want to get instead is the Chicago Style stuffed. It doesn't cost any more than the flying tomato, but has far more flavor.

There's a pretty narrow variety of pizzas available. This isn't a bad thing, there aren't any lame ducks on the menu. The best thing is the spicy Hawaiian.

You can build your own with toppings, but that's costly. The per topping price is much higher than other...

My review is based on the flying tomato pizza.

Crust: It is too thin and kinda flaky. Flavor was bland. I like chewy bread, so this crust didn’t work for me.

Sauce: not enough. If sauce is one of your favorite pizza ingredients, don’t order this pizza.

Cheese: good flavor, but I mostly felt like I was eating a huge chunk of cheese. I like cheese, but without enough sauce and crust, I didn’t feel like I was eating a pizza. Also, the cheese was not soft and melted, but thick and hard. I didn’t enjoy the texture.

I gave the review two stars because the service was fast. Pick up order was ready...

I have had great experiences eating in at Wig and Pen but when I tried to order delivery from them my experience was awful. After being put on hold for a significant amount of time the person who took my order seemed incapable of remembering any information I gave them. I had to repeat my name, address, and phone number multiple times. After I was finally able to get my order I waited 30 minutes only to receive a phone call telling me they could not deliver my pizza. I would have rated the service worse than "Poor-Fair"...
