Hugo's Wood-Fired Kitchen

Hugo's Wood-Fired Kitchen serves Mediterranean-inspired cuisine with a focus on wood-fired cooking in Des Moines, Iowa. The menu features dishes such as pizzas, small plates, and seasonal entrées, all made with fresh ingredients and bold flavors.

Chef and Owner Lynn Pritchard leads the restaurant, bringing a long history of cooking in Des Moines, including more than a decade at the helm of Table 128. Lynn's passion for Mediterranean cooking is reflected in the menu, inspired by his travels and love of the region's cuisine.

The kitchen is centered around a custom Marra Forni wood-fired oven, used to cook dishes including wood-fired pizzas, roasted vegetables, and seafood and meats. A patio and bar area provide space to enjoy meals and drinks.

Hugo's shares its space with WesleyLife's Meals on Wheels program and the Prairie Meadows Hydroponic Farm, and hosts events like Happy Hour, Wine-Down Wednesday, and DoorDash delivery. Gift cards are also available for purchase, and the team is always looking for new members.
