Finally stopped by the famous Bordenaro's during the start of the blizzard last night. Gf & I were greeted by friendly server, made recommendations on the Bordy pizza, full order off onion rings to go! While we were waiting we were persuaded in trying the house salad, with homemade Creamy Italian dressing! The salad was amazing! When we got the food home we were amazed at the pizza, homemade crust no wonder this place is voted best pizza in Des Moines! Now their onion rings were amazing, glad we got the large! Definitely be back! Ps best damn leftover pizza I have ever had!

Accidentally walked in 38 minutes before close on Monday night. The late sunset confuses me sometimes. The staff was still super polite and sat us. The menu was straightforward so we ordered immediately. Food came out ~20 minutes later, piping hot--super fresh. They don't make their own pasta, but the sauces are created in-house. And you know the sauce dictates how good a dish will be. The crust on the pizza was perfect! I inhaled my half/half rigatoni and we boxed up the rest of the pizza to go. I didn't want my salad then so the server kept it in the cooler until we were ready to leave. We were able to make it out 5 minutes before they officially closed. Everyone was great. The food was EXACTLY what I wanted. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Highly recommend!

The pizza is always great here. Bordenaros is a southside treasure. The dining experience would benefit from having more servers. Our server was over assigned tables, which caused us delays in getting our food and drinks. The dine in atmosphere is nice. They sell a variety of beers here which is nice

Family friendly, fairly priced, and fantastic food! We come here every Tuesday for pizza, wings, and onion rings and sometimes a salad or another app and a few pitchers of beer. Food is fantastic every time and the service is great - they even gave us a nice little bib for our son! Bordy’s special and the taco pizza are two of the best!

There was a mixup with our order, causing it to be quite late, but the owner drove it to us himself and apologized in person. We are very grateful. Also, some of the best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had!

The pizza was okay, nothing extra special. The tables were dirty and service was slow. Staff were friendly and had a smile, but you could tell that it was day in and day out operations without the jazz of loving what they make or what they do.

Food was great. This was my first time here. Pizza had a bit of a kick to it that some young kids might not like but for us it was good. Waitress was nice but left for a solid 15 minutes and wasnt at the counter and she was the only one working the front. It was relatively slow when we went during the lunch hour. Cozy place with more seating than I expected from looking at it from the outside. They have a patio but it kind of looked like it was set up for smokers.
