Best Carryout – Jeff’s Pizza

The first Jeff’s Pizza was started by Jeff Uetz and his brother Chris, who currently manage a shop in their hometown of Menomonie, Wisconsin. Jeff started in the pizza industry in 1994 and has worked in everything from a delivery driver to a store manager. He decided to set up shop in Ames because of the warm and friendly feeling he got in Menomonie. Jeff’s Pizza is located on the corner of Lincoln Way and Stanton Avenue and stays open late because the brothers believe there is no better feeling than satisfying a customer.
