Reviews For Maggie's Farm Wood-fired Pizza

This place was a great find for us. We tried to get a table but everything was full so you need a reservation. However, they sat us at the bar right away and the service was great. We had one of the specialty pizzas with sweet corn and bacon. It was a unique and delicious combo. They also had some pasta dishes that looked great. Our pizza was cooked perfectly. This could be the best pizza in Iowa City.

This place is a must try if you haven't already! We absolutely enjoyed our first experience! We got a plate of Chicken Wings to start, a Maggie's Margherita Pizza, a Funghi Pizza, a Pesto Pasta, and an Italian Choc Mousse. Everything tasted authentic and perfect! Love the fact that everything was made fresh with their own unique ingredients, even the pasta is handmade! We will definitely come back again! It was moderately busy even on a Tuesday! The restaurant also has a cozy atmosphere to compliment the food! Great place for celebratory occasions or social gatherings!

Some of the best pizza in the Iowa City area. Great crust and sauce on the Margarita. Pizza. We also enjoyed the sides and the salad. There Brussels sprouts are especially good.

The food here is fresh and delicious. The salads are large and well-proportioned. The pizza crust is deliciously simple with a great wood-fired flavor and texture. The toppings and cheese were balanced just right. The burrata was a highlight--so fresh and with just the right delicate seasoning! The service was excellent. Everyone was kind, helpful, and outgoing. I have food allergies, and they bent over backward to help me find something and to make sure it all came out correctly. I'd eat here on a daily basis if I could!

We were staying in the area for college orientation, and this restaurant was a few blocks away. We had an amazing experience with delicious food. The homemade pizza and salad were perfect. The dessert was also homemade and amazing. We will be back for sure!

First time in Iowa, first stop besides the famous truck stop, and first time eating. Drove from Michigan to Iowa, so ate this after a 24hr fast. Pizza was light but good, any pizza with pesto tastes like authentic Italian to me. If you are looking for a lighter pizza option in Iowa City, or not too far off I-70, this place would be perfect for you. I’m bulking so best believe I ate the whole thing. Would also recommend to bring cayenne pepper and honey to top it off.
