Welcome to “From the Oven” – A Slice of Hugo’s

At Hugo’s Wood-Fired Kitchen, food is more than what’s on the plate—it’s about the heat of the oven, the craft of the kitchen, and the community around the table. That’s why we created From the Oven, a space to share everything that makes Hugo’s unique, from the flicker of the fire to the last bite of dessert.

Wood-fired pizza and Mediterranean dishes at Hugo’s Wood-Fired Kitchen in Des Moines.

This blog is where we’ll open our doors even wider, bringing you:

  • Behind-the-scenes moments – See how our pizzas come to life, from hand-stretched dough to the snap of the wood-fired crust.

  • Menu highlights – Learn about seasonal dishes, Mediterranean influences, and featured cocktails you won’t want to miss.

  • Special events and offers – Be the first to know about happy hour updates, tasting menus, and celebrations on the patio.

  • Stories from our team and guests – Meet the people behind the plates and hear why Hugo’s has become a local favorite.

We know our guests come to Hugo’s for more than food—they come for connection. From the Oven is another way to bring that experience home to you, whether you’re planning your next dinner out, ordering takeout, or just craving a little culinary inspiration.
