“If you’re looking for a hidden gem for gas station pizza, Hy-Vee Gas in Urbandale is the spot! Their pizza is hands down my favorite, and the sausage pizza is an absolute must-try. The crust is just right—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside—and they don’t skimp on the toppings. The sausage is flavorful, and every bite is packed with cheesy goodness.
Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite on the go or just craving a solid slice of pizza, you won’t be disappointed. Plus, the convenience of filling up your tank while getting a quality meal makes it even better. Highly recommend!”
“My favorite Casey’s! As a woman who drives to work very early in the morning - it is dark and this is my go to. Very safe, clean, and employees are super helpful. Jose is awesome and always makes sure I am taken care of.”
“Three times now I've seen employees here joyfully going the extra mile to assist older adults with their purchases. Very pleased every time I stop here. Their people are excellent and the manager seems to do a great job running the store.”
“Great Food and Service, Minor Hiccup with Ordering
My experience with Casey’s Pizza was overall very positive. I started by calling in my order, but the automated system was a bit of a hassle—it got confused and made the process frustrating. Thankfully, once I got through to a real associate, placing the order was smooth and easy.
I ordered a pizza and chicken tenders. The wait time was reasonable, and when I arrived, I was impressed by how clean and well-organized the facility was. The customer service was excellent—friendly and helpful throughout.
The food was great, and I’d definitely bring my family back here again. If they could improve the phone ordering system, it would be a five-star experience.”
“My gf lives in Grimes so this Fast & Fresh is a quick stop between Clive and Grimes. The bacon jalapeño crab rangoons...! Get some! 3 min away from Heaven if you order them fried fresh... So good!”

“Every time I walk through the doors at Kum & Go, the experience is fantastic! The staff is always friendly, the store is clean, and they’ve got everything I need—whether it’s snacks, drinks, or fuel. Gotta love and support our local gas stations that consistently go above and beyond. Always a solid stop in my day!
Can’t forget about the big parking spaces they have so I can easily park my truck & trailer! ?”
“The Tobacco Outlet in Ames has been fast improving it's quality selection and service. Not all Outlets are alike. The Ames Store blows the others out of the water on price, selection, variety and quality.”

“I stopped by Kum & Go late one night, and I had a mostly great experience. The young man working the counter—who, I must say, was an absolute sexy muffin—provided excellent service. He was friendly, professional, and went out of his way to make sure everything was taken care of smoothly. Even wishing me a happy holidays!
The only downside to my visit was the excessively loud music in the store. It was hard to hear him over the noise, which was especially challenging because my hearing aids are sensitive. When I asked if he could turn it down, he explained that the volume knob doesn’t work and only management is allowed to adjust it. Unfortunately, there are no managers on duty during the night shift, so he wasn’t able to fix the issue.
While I completely understand that this was out of his control, it’s a bit frustrating that something so simple can’t be resolved without management present. I hope the store addresses this to improve the nighttime customer experience.
Despite that hiccup, I was impressed by the service and the dedication of the cashier. His charm and professionalism definitely made my visit worthwhile. I’ll definitely be back!”
“I love the store - they have so many fun things I always love looking at. It’s down the street from my house which is so nice.
The pharmacy part used to be bad but honestly, they’ve done a really good job the last year. All medications are on time and I’m notified/called if something is wrong. There’s two regular pharmacists if I’m not mistaken and both are great - each one checks in with me with medication changes and make sure that I understand what they are. I really have come to love this pharmacy and it’s really a hidden (not so hidden) gem for me ❤️ thanks for doing great things!”

“From Altoona and just stopped in for their quick thirst quenchers. This is probably one of the best Kum and go location. Nice and friendly staffs and clean facility in and out.”
“Rhonda is amazing! She made my husband and I feel like old friends when we came to the neighborhood from Texas. She really is an awesome, friendly lady! Wish they were like her at my hometown Walgreens! Sure gonna miss her now that I'm headed back to Dallas!”

“Stopped here for gas and bites, cashier was hysterical. And food (I got fruit, brave I know) was fresh and tasty. Ill go again if I'm in area. Restrooms were also very clean and safe which as a girl who travels alone often is a really nice benefit.”

“I don’t ever recall a single negative thing to mention about this pharmacy. There is a calm spirited environment here with pharmacists being responsive and nice, always.”
“We are here visiting from St Louis and you cannot find to many Casey’s around there. So today we came in and ordered a Large Taco pizza and it was delicious!! Thank you for a great experience from the kitchen to the checkout clerk you guys are awesome ??”
“Came clear from out of town to meet up with my roommate in Clive before they saw Bad Omens. Very friendly cashier, clean compared to other locations compared to years ago when I lived in Des Moines. Definitely not too busy despite how crazy the weather was and all the events near by going on. Ice cold Gatorade was great just wish they'd have had a sugar free Gatorade option but if they did they were out of stock.”
“5 stars for Customer Service this morning! I had trouble getting printing of posters at another Walgreens because they ran out of materials. I moved my order to this location and they also were out of the materials to complete my project. Andy searched for other materials in store, printed my images and we figured out how to improvise a solution to the problem as supply chain issues were leaving them without materials to take care of my order. Thank you!”
“Extremely clean except for one little thing- vomit all over the women's restroom floor. I see good reviews so I am sure this isn't the norm. The main shopping area was spotless, everything stocked and in place. Friendly clerks who went to clean the restroom upon me mentioning the bathroom condition.”
“I like this Casey's fountain drink set up, it's the fancy machine where you push buttons to get your flavor. Currently you can get a MED. FOUNTAIN DRINK for 89¢!”

“One of the former 20 Kum & Go Iowa locations acquired by Maverik that were then sold to Mega Saver (based out of Omaha NE). The signage and color scheme has changed, but it's still meets the needs of a standard convenience store/gas station.”
“This location recently opened and sits with a block or so of a brand new Kwik Star. As with all newer locations it's an up to date store and everything from the bathrooms to the storefront itself just kind shines. Typical Casey's as far as customer service and selection. Grab a slice. If it's fresh you won't regret it!”
“Service is always top knock at this location. Facility is very clean, and very easily accessible. This is by far my favorite gas station, and not only because it's one of the closest to my home, but because of the very friendly staff!”
“Moving all prescriptions to this pharmacy.
Had to move a prescription over to Hyvee because my current pharmacy didn’t have it. I was in and out in 5 minutes in drive through. They filled it right then and there. Crazy fast and friendly service!”
“I use my car as my office and so I see a lot of gas stations and most importantly their restrroms. Not only was this the cleanest and nicest Git n Go restroom I have ever used but also the best restroom in the metro area. The cashier was also very friendly.”
“Please don't change your coffee to the beans. You are the only ones left with good coffee. Everyone else went to the beans and taste like instant coffee. Yours is the BEST. I DRIVE OUT OF MY WAY FOR YOUR COFFEE”
“I shop the 86th & Meredith store at least 2 or 3 times a week. I get 11 prescriptions so I'm there getting this or that. The pharmacy personal are always nice to me. I also order canvas prints. All of the staff are a very knowledgeable team. Thank you for all your help.”
“Kwik Star used to be a guarantee for fair gas station prices, but that' changed dramatically. For soda, they are the only GS whom doesn't do two-for deals with Pepsi products. And they had the raw nerve to change their king-sized candy bars from $3.29 to $3.99 - and in one day! The old $3.29 price on one item was left out as proof.. Really?!? A 70 cent mark-up for a candy bar in one day?!.. Also, to top everything off, the lady working there late night is condescending.... Come on KS! Get back to the fair-priced GS you always were.. Dang!”
