The pizza is a standard Midwestern party cut pizza. The crust was on the crunchy side, but not as crunchy or as dry like a cracker. I suspect some form of fat in the way of shortening, butter, or oil. I saw a few deck ovens going hot and heavy in back with restaurant, take-out, and delivery orders. Overall the taste of the crust was good, but more like a biscuity texture than a cracker.
I had asked for Italian sausage but the flavor was not quite what I was expecting. I suspect they use pork sausage lightly seasoned to pass as Italian sausage or they simply make their sausage without fennel. The mushrooms looked like the canned variety.
The sauce was good but after a few bites, both my wife and I detected some added heat. It tasted to me like some form of pepper. I noticed on the menu they offer a milder sauce, which I would like to try if I ever make it back.
Overall, the flavors mixed together well and I generally liked this pizza quite a bit. As for our daughter, well, she had her own ideas as to the flavor and what would make it taste better.
The house salads were unremarkable - the bagged variety. Their cheesey garlic bread was very good - plenty of cheese and greasey flavor.
Overall, I am going to give Bordenaro's in Des Moines 3 out of 5. I would say it is probably worth a stop if you are in the Des Moines area. -

I eat here all the time. (twice a month) In Des Moines this is the place to go get Pizza. Service good sometimes a little pokey because its a young high school college kid staff. Food is great. Always relaxed. They are not going to rush you a long here.
This is a casual place. Easy going, where you can go relax on your lunch hour (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) or in the evening.
They have a kids menu, so your kid can get Mac and Cheese. -

Bordenaro's Pizza is a southside fixture. The pizza is thin and they have their quality down. Two larges were dinner. Hot sausage on one and Copicola & hot peppers on the other. Both were hot & tasty. Beer was cold. You won't be disappointed.

The best non-Chicago-style pizza around Des Moines. They use spicey Graziano sausage that makes all the difference! The prices are good, too. I typically do take-out because the place can get crowded and the service can be a tad slow. My order is always ready within a few minutes and I can be in-and-out the door right away.
