The Delicious Iowa Restaurant With The Biggest Slices Of Pizza We’ve Ever Seen

If there has ever been a match made in heaven, it’s pizza and college kids. One Des Moines restaurant has truly taken advantage of the college-and-pizza stereotype, and opened a parlor right near Drake University. What makes it stand out from the other billion pizzerias in Iowa? Well, for one, the slices are the size of your face.

Papa Keno's Pizza is one of Des Moines most popular places to grab a slice.

This counter-serve pizza joint is known for making tasty food and staying open late, so it's particularly popular with students from nearby Drake University.

The dining room is casual, and you can almost always find a place to sit and enjoy your meal.

While there are a ton of pizza places near the Drake Campus, Papa Keno's has become wildly famous for serving up "slices as big as your face".

Each pie starts off with homemade sauces and a perfect blend of cheese...

... and each pie comes out of the oven perfectly crispy!

The result is a tasty pizza made to your specifications, topped with whatever oyour heart desires.

These slices really are gigantic - each one takes up a gigantic tray on its own!

Papa Keno's also makes delicious breadsticks to go along with your slice, though they aren't particularly oversized.

If you think you can handle it, head to Papa Keno's in Des Moines and try to chow down on the largest slice of pizza in the Hawkeye State.

Papa Keno’s is located at 2330 University Ave, Des Moines, IA 50311. They’re open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Wednesday, and from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Be sure to come hungry!
