What People Are Saying
from Google"Day started out great at the Airliner for the Gopher Vs Hawks game. We started the day with several drinks and a delicious breakfast pizza 🍕 The atmosphere was electric. The staff especially the bar tenders were amazing experienced pros!! Great wonderful time at the Airliner…the game didn’t go as well for Minnesota 😐"
"Great atmosphere during a football weekend. It is a college bar... Enjoyed the food and drinks. It was very busy but our server was fantastic with refilling our drinks and getting our food fast."
"We really liked the gluten-free Pizza crust. The Vegetarian and Supreme Pizza were really good. A classic Bar/Restaurant in Iowa City (since 1944)"
"Best taco pizza! Their salsa is fantastic! Service was great! The place could use a good update. Booth benches are hard as the padding has warn out over time. The floor is super sticky. Restrooms are ok, better than usual bar restrooms, however there is graffiti all over the stalls and my 10 year old daughter had a LOT of questions UPDATE 12/30/25 went from the best taco pizza to the 3rd worst taco pizza. They must have changed their pizza. The crust is way fluffier and thicker. That's not a bad thing, just prefer their other crust. Went on Tuesday for their half off pizza. Not sure of that's why this pizza was bad compared to the prior 2 times? There was maybe a small handful of crushed chips, and basically nothing for meat. Super duper disappointed. I ordered black olives on the side. First glance the were old and dry, but still tried it. First bite and almost broke a tooth as I bit down on something rock hard. Told the waitress, who couldn't care less. Changed from 5 stars to 3."
"Came here with coworkers on Tuesday for our first time and will definitely be back. The food was great, exceptional variety of drinks, and our server, Angelina, was super nice and funny."
