SUZANNE. THANK YOU. A POPULAR DES MOINES RESTAURANT IS EXPANDING FONG’S PIZZA, WHICH IS FAMOUS FOR A LATE NIGHT BITE, IS NOW OFFERING MORE SPACE AND MORE TO EAT. ����vlog OLIVIA TYLER SPOKE TO THE OWNERS ABOUT THE NEW LOCATION. THE ICONIC DES MOINES STAPLE, FONG’S PIZZA, IS OPENING UP A NEW LOCATION HERE IN THE EAST VILLAGE, AND IT’S DOUBLE THE SIZE OF THE ORIGINAL. NOW WE HAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL, HUGE, BRIGHTLY LIT, NICE KITCHEN. IT’S AT 317 EAST COURT AVE. THERE’S MORE SEATING AND MORE ON THE MENU. NEW PIZZA TOPPINGS ORANGE CHICKEN, COCONUT SHRIMP AND MORE. THEY’LL HAVE A NEW DRINK MENU AND EVEN TAKE CATERING ORDERS FROM THIS LOCATION. THE NEW SPOT WILL HAVE PATIO SEATING AND A WALK UP WINDOW FOR LATE NIGHT SLICES. THERE’S GOING TO BE A LOT OF PARKING. WE HAVE A LOT THAT WE CAN USE. AND THEN AS I LOOK OUT THE WINDOW, I CAN SEE THE STATE CAPITOL. THE CO-OWNERS TELL ME THE ORIGINAL LOCATION WILL UNDERGO TRANSFORMATION TO PAY HOMAGE TO THE OLD ELLIOTT HOTEL, WHILE THE FONG’S IN THE EAST VILLAGE BRINGS A NEW ENERGY. THERE’S A DIFFERENT FEEL, AND I THINK FONG’S OUTGREW THE FEEL, THE FLAVOR OF WHERE IT WAS AT. IT REALLY FIT WHEN WE OPENED AND IT MADE A LOT OF SENSE. THIS GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY PUT OUR BEST FOOT FORWARD WITH ALL THE THINGS WE’VE LEARNED OVER THE LAST DECADE AND A HALF. THE RESTAURANT WILL BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC COME APRIL 1ST AT 11 A.M. IN DES MOINES.
