Chuck’s is a Des Moines landmark serving excellent Italian American entrees since 1956. Best known for a thin-crust pizza that is still made and baked in our storefront window. The menu features family recipes and homemade Italian specialties using only the freshest ingredients.
Owned by the Bisignano family since 1956, Chuck’s entered a new era in 2014 with Emily and Luke Jones at the helm. With Emily and Luke providing leadership, menu items and recipes remain unchanged while a new spirit can be found throughout the restaurant. Chuck’s offers a complete menu for dine-in or take-out featuring appetizers, salads, pizzas, grinders, Italian specialties, seafood, and 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.
Opened in 1956, Chuck's is still a wonderful restaurant! This place has old decor but a delightful old time Italian atmosphere. We enjoy going there on Friday or Saturday nights to see some of Des Moines finest entertainment. There is no cover charge, but tips are appreciated by the entertainers! And a pizza and glass of wine cannot be beat...
Just was at Chuck's for a large group function. The staff, both servers and kitchen staff, did an outstanding job keeping orders straight, running tabs correctly, getting drinks and food out quickly, and providing excellent service and maintaining a positive and friendly disposition. Food was really good. They have a wide variety of options...

I love Chucks! They have amazing pizza, not your cookie cutter franchise type, but real authentic Italian pizza. They have a kind staff, caring and community involved owner and are an important part of the neighborhood. I've been coming to Chucks my whole life, it has nostalgia but also the current team are caretakers of this legacy...
