Zeno’s Pizza Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    This is a Marshalltown institution and should not be passed up if coming to town and looking for food. Zeno's is situated in an old downtown building that has been there for ages. The interior is rustic and probably hasn't been changed since the 1960s. The do not have a full bar but they do have beer on tap. Drinks aren't what you come here for however, you come for the pizza, and this is some of the best around. For those who haven't had it before, Zeno's pizza tends to be a little greasier than most pizzas, so if you're a health nut, you may want to keep moving on. It's this slightly greasier pizza that makes Zeno's so outstanding. I personally love the canadian bacon/pineapple pizza however their supreme is also excellent. In all honesty you probably won't go wrong with any toppings you get. Be prepared to pay for this pizza however. I recently ordered for take out a large pineapple/canadian bacon and a side order of cheese bread and the bill was over $30. So, in closing, great pizza that can't be missed, but a little on the pricey side. That pretty much sums it up.

    Zeno's is great pizza place. When we visit Marshalltown, we usually get the Zeno's Special (combination) pizza. It comes loaded with cheese and toppings. On our last visit, we took the leftovers back to the motel and I ate it for breakfast the next morning. Service is good and friendly. It is not the cheapest pizza around, but is definitely one of the best pizza restaurants we have been to.

    Love this pizza!! Only change I've had to make all these years is lighter on the onions but still have to order the special.

    I'm pretty sure this pizza changes lives. The bacon cheeseburger pizza with pickles is the best I've ever had (Ask for light or no onions if you're not a fan, though). One of my favorite restaurants of all time.

    I love pizza, of all varieties, and Zeno's makes a classic, greasy, crispy thin style pizza. Definitely one of my favorite types, but requires the toppings to be in a perfect balance so as to not overpower the dough (in weight and flavor). Zeno's wasn't the best of this type of pizza for a couple reasons. Zeno's did the one thing that really bothers me and my Dad: they put the cheese on top of the toppings. Perhaps it's an old school thing, but the cheese is the glue that you put toppings onto, just like glitter on a school project. With that said, the pizza was delicious. The toppings were all high quality, and besides having too much cheese, were in decent harmony. Overall, a pretty good pizza that hasn't changed much from how it was made in the 50's (according to my Dad). If you're ever in Marshalltown, IA I'd check it out. Oh and side note, the building is gorgeous, and the staff was incredibly friendly.

    Not your typical NY style pizza. It is as unique as it's square cut slices. But if you really enjoy a thin and crispy pizza, this is for you. Thankfully they have real Canadian Bacon which you can't get a lot of places. Don't miss this one.

    Hands-down the best pizza place I've ever been to. Ever. It was opened in the early 50's and is still family-owned (in fact, the owner greeted us at the door last Saturday night!). The place has a great atmosphere that remains unchanged from when it first opened but is still wonderfully maintained and clean. The service was super friendly and attentive (no empty sodas here!) and the pizza itself was just perfect. Zeno's only serves pizza, cheese bread (also fantastic!) and dinner/side salads and they definitely know what they're doing. I had to laugh when my bf's mom, a Marshalltown native and current resident said candidly, "it's the only thing in Marshalltown worth talking about".

    Great pizza! Lots of cheese, which is great for me, but maybe not for all. We had them deliver, but they're like 15 minutes away from the hotel where I was staying. They happily came and were RIGHT on time! The driver smiled big and was a friendly guy. Gave him a nice tip and off he went. Really enjoyed this experience. Thanks Zenos!

    Whoa. Just whoa. This pizza is so good. Zeno's has been around as a family business for over 50 years. It was taken over by a new Marshalltown family within the last several years. They've totally kept all that was awesome about it, but are starting to make improvements (like new paint inside and an affordable beer/wine list). But let's get to the gold here, the pizza. So good! As a former Chicagoan, I'm judgey about my pizza...but this place is awesome. It is a little bit greasy, but that's because they use a high quality cheese. I'm a vegetarian and my boyfriend is a meateater and there are totally enough options to satisfy both of us. I. Love. Zeno's.

    Some of the best pizza I have had anywhere. Nice locally owned business with its own unique atmosphere. You can't go wrong

    Best pizza (thin crust) I've ever had. Great waitstaff. Family friendly atmosphere. And even when the ownership changed, they stayed true to their original recipes. You can't go wrong with anything here. Personally, I love the Hawaiian or sausage.

    A Marshalltown icon. The pizza is very good. My only complaint is that it is a touch on the greasy side. You cannot go wrong with any of the options but the Taco pizza is by far a step above the rest. The service was very good, and atmosphere is casual. Decor is a touch lacking. The owners seem to care a lot about the community and were very engaged with many of the customers as they came and went. Nice to see a local business do well and thrive in small town.

    Love this place. Changed from Zenos to Mike's but same family owned, fresh ingredients, and great service. Try the taco turnover.

    Delicious. Addictive. And definitely the best pizza in town. Plus you can order one to go and eat it at the Fiddle and Whistle Irish Pub down the street!

    At recommendation from a local, I tried this place for dinner one evening. Dining alone, it was not the most economical option ($14 for a small pizza, and I had no place to store leftovers), but the Mexican pizza I had was one of the best pizzas I have ever had. It reminded me of the traditional thin crust pizzas like they used to have at Shakees Pizza Parlor in Houston. Service was fine, and decor was interesting. There seems to be much history at this location, and you can tell it has been around awhile. Zeno's is certainly worth checking out, though not the cheapest bet if dining solo.

    Their pizza is good if you are one of those people that confuses DiGiorno's for delivery. Good crust and cheese. No anchovies available here.

    Good, not great. A little heavy on the cheese and the sauce was lacking something. Small town Iowa fare for sure. Still better than the chains.

    Best pizza I have ever eaten. Period. I love pizza and try to get some hometown pie in every different town I stop in. Have found some good pizzas out there but nothing as good as Zenos. I grew up around Marshalltown and have been eating here all my life. I live in Va now but NEVER miss Zenos when I am back. In case you are thinking it's just a case of hometown nostalgia consider this...Everyone I have introduced to Zenos has been amazed to find such out of this world pizza in the middle of Iowa. Heck, even my wife agrees this is the best pizza ever. THAT says it all. Don't miss this place.

    This dates back to the 50's when the first wave of pizzerias hit middle American, and it hasn't changed much since. This really remains my favorite pizza of all time - salty and cheesy, old school flat crust, square cut, with perfect sauce. Get the Supreme!

    I was born and raised in Marshalltown and grew up loving Zeno's. I have lived in southern California for 25 years and have not found a better pizza out here. Zeno's pizzas have lots of cheese and the sausage is the best I've ever had. You can order the pizza 'well done' if you want a crisper pizza. It's a little on the pricier side but when we go back to Iowa for a visit, we have it 5-6 times while we are there--it is that good!

    My dad always said that Zeno's was like "ketchup on a cracker", but he doesn't know jack about pizza. Zeno's owns, it's a Marshalltown institution. It's got that old-school small town pizzeria feel because that's exactly what it is, and the thin crust pizza is excellent.
