Awesome service, Jazmin was very attentive and was taking care of everyone! The Hawaiian had crunchy crust, sauce was a little spicy, preferred without bacon, but still good. the Leaner was FULL of meat and very filling we had a small pizzas and didn't eat the whole thing.

Visited the Leaning Tower of Pizza located at Uptown Ankeny during a Farmer's Market being held just a few blocks away. I mention this, because if you choose to visit this fine restaurant on a Saturday during the Spring / Summer, be prepared, as all dining establishments can be rather crowded. We were fortunate to walk in and be seated immediately. We knew what we were going to get, so as soon as the waitress arrived, were ordered the "Leaner" specialty pizza (medium) and half order of onion rings. I'm including a pic of the pizza, but forgot to take a pic of the rings, which were spectacular. Make no mistake, these are genuine rings. You'll love them. As for the pizza, I always try to find something special I like about an entree that just about any restaurant in the city can make. Over the years of visiting Leaning Tower, I've discovered it's THE BEST DAMN SAUCE AROUND. No kidding ... that's what sets it aside from other thin crust pizzas. So, give Leaning Tower at Uptown a visit, and try the rings and pizza.
My friend & I stopped here after riding the High Trestle Trail from Woodward to Ankeny, and I'm glad we veered off to find this place. The pizza was phenomenally good with a delicious thin crust and toppings that were PILED on top. We split a specialty pizza consisting of one size "The Works" and the other size "Chicken Bacon...". The indoor dining area was pleasant, and the service was good. I would definitely stop here again. Also, there is a bike rack for locking up your bike in the back of the restaurant.
Leaning Tower is an Ankeny stable. If you’re new to Ankeny or just visiting, I recommend stopping here for a pizza. I ordered the Pickle Wrap pizza and Harrington pizza as well as a basket of fries. The fries were on the table within 10 minutes of ordering and the pizzas were out 10-15 minutes after that. If your a pickle fan, I highly encourage you to get the Pickle Wrap pizza. Overall great service, fantastic food, and the waitress was very friendly.
We shared the Harrington specialty pizza which is our staple. It didn't disappoint. We started with Cheese Bread but it was lacking the usual amount of cheese. Our beer was cold but a little flat. Service was outstanding as always. Best pizza in Polk County hands down.
Chicken strips and fries were great. The bread bites were also great with the exception that it had melted butter in the bottom of the container and the seasoning on the bread I would've liked seen the bread bites coated in the butter than coated with the seasoning. Had about half the bread bites gone before I discovered the butter. Other than that it was a nice place, friendly staff, small place and busy place. 4.8 stars out if 5.
From out of town and found this place on Google Maps. Glad I did. Place was busy when I arrived but got seated within about 15 mins. Staff was friendly and was working hard. Pizza was great just like the service. I recommend checking this place out if you get the chance. Only negative is the place is small with minimal seating. Take out is always another option.
