Listen up... if you plan on eating here, you better invite me because this was the best pizza I've had pretty much EVER. These pizzas and slices are HUGE. Two slices and I was spent. And it heats up really well so I know what's for tomorrow's lunch! The staff here is uber courteous and not afraid to be personable so be friendly. What a find! I wish you all the best of luck in your new business!!! Ego-Crazed Christy wants me to say how phenomenal she is!!! Are you happy, now??? This Macho Taco pizza is fantastic.

It was my first time there. The pizza was huge and tasted great even the crust had a buttery garlic flavor to it I love. And if you like the bobbles in the crust which I like they put that in there. I will never go to another pizza place in Mason again!

What great pizza!!!! Love having New York Style pizza for a change of pace from local pizzas (NY was new to us) . Thin crispy crust that is just a bit charred like wood fired oven pizzas. Yum! Not drowning in sauce and toppings is such a fun change. I really love a good, deep crust pizza, yet this is a delightfully different experience. We loved that we could buy by the slice!!! The White Pie is so unique in our area (Southern Minnesota/ Northern Iowa). May be my favorite slice of pizza ever. No, I do not know anyone at the place. Just traveling through and am now a true fan. Staff was great, attentive, and even made a fresh pizza just for me even though I only wanted a slice. We are definitely coming back.

We wanted to try a different pizza joint in Mason City, IA. So thanks to google we found this pizza place. The pizza was very good. We got a classic pepperoni for the kids. The big dill and a supreme pizza with the garlic sauce for us adults. Our family of 6 enjoyed it very much! I had a Winter Marg and my wife had the Bloody Barrel. Both were great as well. Definitely a place to check out.

Ordered thw white pizza. Great crust and good flavor. You can walk in and order just a slice or a whole 18" pizza. The whole pizzas are good but dont think you're gonna walk out with a 18" pizza for 10. Being from the midwest the quality of ranch is important and it was great. Also tried the corner bites which are pieces of pizza dough covered in garlic and parmesan. Very good. A couple days later I went back and tried a combo slice (pepperoni and sausage) and it did not disappoint either.
