Need Pizza

Need Pizza is a pizzeria and craft beer bar in downtown Cedar Rapids, known for hand-crafted thin crust pizza. Every pie comes with olive oil, oregano, garlic and grated parmesan, and guests can build their own pizza from four available styles. The crust is vegan friendly, so it works for plant-based diners.

The kitchen serves dine-in and carry-out, but it does not offer delivery or on-site catering. Reservations are not taken on weekends, so parties seat first come, first served, and once half the group has arrived the staff will seat them as quickly as possible. Large weeknight parties can sometimes be accommodated by calling or emailing ahead. The kitchen stays open late on Friday and Saturday, with slices and the bar running until 2 AM.
