Erik Rowley

One of the most unique dives you will find anywhere in the U.S. The crab Rangoon is their most popular for good reason, but the Egg Rolls are the real treat. Best egg rolls I've ever eaten in my life

These folks are incredibly friendly and creative. This is the very definition of "a fine scarfing establishment" as described by The Martian Boogie. Enjoying a meal with a nephew: Priceless!

David Berkowitz

The Chinese Cheesesticks are insanely good. Pro tip: ask for them with the sesame ginger salad dressing ; it is perfect and works better than the tomato sauce the dish comes with.

Crab Rangoon pizza was delicious!! Great beer selection as well ! Also pizza by the slice is available and great!! Such fun variety and flavors. A MUST!

g oconnor

The only time I've asked about a special and been told..."????" and then discovered what an incredible mashup the place is. You can order a straight pizza or choose from 25 incredible pizzas .

Danny Begnoche

The Egg roll Moz sticks are amazing. The place may appear slightly dirty at first but the fun atmosphere , ridiculously unique drinks and fantastic food makes up for it 10 fold.

Tiffanie Lynn

Everything is delicious. After 10pm slices are a fantastic deal. The crab ragoons look like egg rolls & are amazing. Specialty drinks are tasty & everyone needs to take at least one kamikazee :)

Patrick O'Brien

The crab Rangoon pizza that everyone talks about matches its reputation. You have to stop in here and try this funky place!

Mel Sem

Call ahead on nights they're going to be busy! It's a small place. If you're over 21, check out their awesome mixed drinks in fun cups! Both their drinks and their crab Rangoon pizza were delicious!

Jordan Noring

Crabragoon pizza and the loaded bake potato pizza is the best. They also have gluten free ! It takes awhile to have your drink refilled so plan on spending sometime there. They definitely arent speedy

Nathan Wright

If you're visiting Des Moines, you are required by law to visit Fong's and try the crab rangoon pizza . It's a great place to carb up before martinis at The Lift or a show at the Mews.

Juice Magazine

Try their famous crab rangoon pizza . Made with crispy egg rolls , green onion , Asiago and mozzarella cheese , surimi, a crab rangoon base and sweet chili sauce , every slice is an explosion of flavor. Read more

Everything is good here! You cannot go wrong with any of their pizzas . But I really love their crab rangoons .

Terence G

This was the second time I've been here and it was great! I had a slice of pizza and their famous egg rolls !

@515HawkFan

Went there when it was crazy busy (every night) and the Crab Rangoon pizza was good, but not as good as everyone hyped it up to be. The atmosphere and the eccentrics made up for it though. We had fun.

Kristin Cassidy

I got the Crab Rangoon Pizza ! So good! Also the Mozzarella Stick egg rolls ! They were ridiculously amazing. I was equally blown away by the salad .

Avery Jenkins

You must try at least one of the Following Pizzas - the Thai Chicken , the Honey Garlic Alfredo or the Crab Rangoon !! You won't be disappointed and they're like no Pizza that you've ever had before!!

Lanae Greene

The crab Rangoon pizza is amazing! It tastes exactly like crab Rangoon ! The customer service is awesome. Our server was very informative and so friendly !

Riley Lynch

Crab Rangoon and Mongolian Beef pizzas are incredible; the cocktails are awesome!

Kim J

Rachel Vannice

Des Moines institution and genuinely original. Crab Rangoon pizza is a must, ditto any of their cocktails served in tiki-ware.

Gregory Fisher

The service is awesome and the decor makes you smile! The Pizza was super as well and the Crab Rangoon ! Yasssssss!

Sam C

If you only ever have one meal in Des Moines, make it the Crab Rangoon Pizza at Fong's. It's not the finest meal in town , but it's the one you can't get anywhere else in the world.

Sarah C

Food Network Magazine declared Fong's Crab Rangoon Pizza one of the 50 best in the US. Don't forget to start your meal with Pizza Rolls - egg roll on the outside, pizza on the outside.

Roderick

Great staff , beer selection , tiki drinks and atmosphere. As everybody else says, get the crab rangoon . We ordered two other pizzas and they were just okay.

Jessica Irish

I loved the crab Rangoon pizza . Also a small tip, go Sunday at lunch time for a smaller crowd. It was very family friendly at this time slot.

Brett payne

Crab Rangoon pizza is phenomenal. Don't miss out.

KT Florida

The Crab Rangoon pizza is delicious and the signature drinks are cute !

Estepha Francisque

Good pizza , great choices, cool environment, good service . One of the best spots in Des Moines!

Thomas

Great and unique pizza in a wonderful atmosphere. It's cramped in here though; expect a wait.

Taschia Moore

The Thai stix are fantastic. It's peanut sauce(almost like peanut butter ) and bacon . You can't go wrong!

Peter Erickson

I enjoy the crab rangoon pizza on hand tossed wheat. Thin crust is the house recommendation but hand tossed crust fills you up faster!

Liz

Awesome pizza , great drinks and they play sweet music !!!! A must if you are in downtown Des Moines.

Ian Coon

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! Crab rangoon pizza cravings must be a disease you get from this place!

Nate Burger

Awesome Happy Hour . Dollar off most drinks and you get a slice of pizza with every drink.

Cam Byrd

Be sure to hit them up on Crabby Mondays for great specials and value.

Norah Carroll

The Crab Rangoon Pizza gets all the glory, but the Bacon Popper Pizza is just as good -- and was created by the founder of Baconfest!

LC

The Pineapple Express is a must! Des Moines is the greatest city in the world! I am from Houston and I am seriously considering moving to Iowa!

alonso Hernandez

Try the cheesesticks and the crab rangoon pizza

Jen D

Not your typical pizza spot but that's why it's so amazing!!! Honey and garlic pizza = AMAZING!!!

Jimmy J

Crab Rangoon was good for sure, but sesame chicken pizza was even better!!

James Pritting

The awesomeness of this place is overshadowed by some low-ball manuevers at last call. Setting your clocks ahead 15 minutes? Hiring rent-a-cops to take beers out of your hand? That's just desparate.

Haley Otis

Some of the most unique pizza combinations! Come in after midnight and order by the slice

Thomas Toye

Fantastic pizza they'll put whatever you want on it no problems the pizzas even better for breakfast the morning affter

Cathy Smith

Only place downtown to stop for food after 11. They only have some 'slices only' of pizza available and drinks

Megan Bannister

Honey garlic on Alfredo is hands down the best slice you can get at Fong's.

Your Downtown Gal

Eric the bar manager is fabulous!!! Waiter matt is also wonderful and of course owner Gwen is extremely talented!! Must insist on loaded potato pizza !!!!

Joe D

Dat Crab Rangoon is divine. I hate crab , but this barely tastes like it and is 100% ????????

Brian

Possibly the BEST Gluten Free pizza crust I have had!!
