A popular Iowa City pizza place founded in the 1990s is back in a new downtown location!

The Cedar Rapids Gazette reports that The Wedge Pizzeria was founded by Steve Harding back in 1999. Since opening, the restaurant has moved several times from its original Riverside Drive location to 521 Highway 1, its last location. New owners Michael Harris and Regina Miller purchased the restaurant in 2022 after serving as longtime employees of Harding according to the Gazette.

Harris and Miller have re-opened The Wedge and brought it to downtown Iowa City. The pizzeria's new location is at 113 Iowa Avenue. The new location puts a greater emphasis on slices to go with a carryout counter near the door. Other than that, the Gazette reports that The Wedge will feature the same toppings and pizza selection they've had for the past 25 years. You have more than 50 toppings to choose from and everything is made in-house according to the Gazette.

The Wedge features a ton of specialty pizzas to choose from, including many vegetarian options. As a Star Wars fan, how can I not love the 'Boba Feta'? And speaking of a galaxy far, far, away, for pizza fans wanting something a bit meatier, make sure and try the 'Dagobah'.

The Gazette reports that The Wedge is now open 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday. You can grab a slice or a full pizza plus they also offer carryout and delivery. And don't forget to check out their desserts like cookies and cheesecakes, all made from scratch!
