DES MOINES, Iowa — A favorite and unique pizza joint in Des Moines is moving on to a bigger and better place.

On Wednesday Fong’s Pizza announced it would be moving across the Des Moines River to the East Village. Right now Fong’s sits in the 200 block of 4th Street, just off the Court Avenue Entertainment District. Starting in March it will make its way over to 317 East Court Avenue, the former home of Peace Tree Brewing Company.

Owners say the move will allow them to offer more for their customers.

“This move allows us to drastically expand our catering and carry out capabilities,” Andy Massoth, co-owner of Fong’s, said in a press release. “Of course guests can still plan to find a creative menu featuring specialties and decor that are all one of a kind.”

“We are putting Fong’s signature spin on classic noodle and rice dishes as well as introducing new salads, expanding our appetizer offerings and even adding items to our late night menu,” Dennis Epps, co-founder and executive chef, said. “There will be new twists on old favorites and some creative new items to enjoy when we open our doors in late March.”

Fong’s will close at their current location in late March and hopes to be up and running at their new location by the first week in April.
