Customer Reviews
We were in Decorah visiting Luther College and were told that Mabe's Pizza was the place to go. It did not disappoint. Nestled right in the downtown strip, it is a cozy little pizza parlor with tables in the middle surrounded by booths. We ordered the Deluxe pizza and a pepperoni/green pepper pizza. Both came out fast and were absolutely delectable. We all commented on how good the crust was along with the sauce. We finished it off with the Half Baked Cookie dessert. The picture speaks for itself - delicious. Service was prompt and efficient. Being a pizza connoisseur, Mabe's does stand out among other pizza establishments. I look forward to my next visit!
Mabe’s Pizza is a true Decorah classic — a legendary local spot that has been serving the community for decades, and it absolutely deserves its iconic status. The pizza is simple, honest, and really good, the kind that doesn’t try to be fancy but gets everything right. The atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming, exactly what you want from a small-town institution that generations have grown up with. Prices are very reasonable, especially considering how much history and charm you get along with your meal. If you’re visiting Decorah, Mabe’s is a must — a slice of local heritage and a great pizza stop in one.
I've loved Mabe's for a long time, but was reminded today of why. I made a reservation for 8-10 people, and the first people there (not me) were welcomed and seated. From the waitstaff, to the owner, to people who answered the phone, all of the folks we interacted with were super pleasant and helpful. Kara was our server and she anticipated our needs, was caring and quick! I brought 6 people from 6 different cities, and all of them raved about the pizza. Delicious as always! (Especially the Regular with double cheese, double crust.) Thanks again Mabe's, you're great at what you do.
Mabe’s Pizza in Decorah — great service, delicious pizza, and great prices! A must-stop spot when visiting Decorah, IA!
This was our first visit to Decorah, and we randomly wanted pizza on our first night. Holy moly, are we glad we did. Mabe’s is some of the best pizza I have ever had, period. This place absolutely blew our minds. We also ordered mozzarella sticks and they were decent but, let’s face it, it’s pretty tough to ruin mozzarella sticks. That pizza is next level though. Service was good, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the price was on point. A truly excellent dining experience.
