Papa Keno's

Nice pizza restaurant next to Drake University. They have a great pizza by the slice deal for lunch at $6.99 w/ bread sticks or salad...these slices are huge!!! I mean crazy big. They have some fun craft beers on tap too.

As promised I came back to give this place another try. Enthusiastic, fast, and friendly service. They had some tunes jamming and the place had a great buzz and energy. Old post: Long wait due to hitting the lunch rush at a bad time. Plus there were a couple of large groups ahead of me. They have some nice lunch special options see below at decent prices rates. Tons of topping option to pick from. Most toppings were pretty fresh. Various other salads and appetizers to choose from. Sports on all the tvs which made the wait bearable. Decent selection of local brews. The pizza was decent at best. I will visit again soon and give them another try.

This place has fresh ingredients, friendly staff and affordable prices....and the pizza.... OMG to die for. I visited in November and couldn't wait to get back. I had to. It was still just as, if not more delicious than the first time.

Great food! Your 'slice' of pizza has to be sliced. The staff is super friendly and customer-minded. Last time I was there they got my order wrong, I mentioned it, but was perfectly fine with the delicious mistake and saw no need to make a new 'slice'. Three different staff apologized and offered to make it 'right'. Eventually one of them brought me a card for a 1$ single topping slice. The food is great, the atmosphere is fun, and the service is outstanding.

Lunch specials daily - between $7 - $10 and comes with drink. Large slices. Tasty and crispy pizza.

This place is knocking it out of the park! We ordered salad, breadsticks with cheese, a 14” pepperoni, pineapple pizza and cinnamon sticks. Everything was amazing! Will be back.

The service was great, and the food was even better! I was surprised at the size of the pie! I didn't think it would be that big! Great place for friends to meet and have a cold beer and a large slice!

I am giving this place 5 stars because this is what the Drake area NEEDED. The make to order pizza slices are huge and the sandwiches are delicious. This is the perfect place to grab a quick bite to eat whether you are a Drake student or not. The cheese bread was unbelievable and the pricing was just perfect. The atmosphere was great and was bustling when I was there. I definitely will be a repeat customer.

The food is awesome and the portions are a great deal for your money! The atmosphere is very relaxed and comfortable, and the brick and wood combination of the interior looked very nice together. There are also games for you to play while you wait for your food! By far some of the best pizza I've ever eaten!

Went this weekend with a big group of friends and ate ourselves silly while watching some football - this pizza is so delicious! Good crunch on the crust but still soft, doughy and cheesy. My favorite pie was Mama Keno’s roasted garlic makes it, but we tried a bunch of other great options too - you can’t go wrong. They also have lots of local beer on draft and the staff made us feel at home. Definitely going back, and would recommend hands-down as a perfect neighborhood joint to hang with family and friends and enjoy some seriously awesome pizza! Oh, and those cinnamon sticks!!!
