Watch the Super Bowl at these 4 metro area spots that support the Kansas City Chiefs
If you're looking for bites and brews as you cheer on the Kansas City Chiefs against the Philadelphia Eagles this Super Bowl Sunday (or to watch Rihanna during this year's halftime show), these stops are for you. Super Bowl LVII takes place at 5:30 p.m. on local FOX stations on Feb. 12.
The Other Place
Kansas City Chiefs fans can find a Mahomes at The Other Place in Clive, which is owned by former Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Troy Stedman, on Super Bowl Sunday. The Other Place offers pizza, pasta, burgers, and brews. The four star pizza pie features pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, green peppers and mozzarella while a Kansas rancher pizza with grilled ham, American cheese, over-easy fried egg, lettuce and tomato is a great themed option (despite the Chiefs being based in Missouri).
Location: 12401 University Ave., Clive
Contact: 515-225-9494 or theotherplace.com.
Hours: 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Truman's KC Pizza Tavern
The metro's signature establishment for Kansas City Chiefs fans is kicking off Super Bowl Sunday with an exciting lunch and dinner service. Menu offerings include the French dip pizza or support No. 15 and order the marinara sauce-coated The Mahomes pie topped with sausage, pepperoni, Canadian bacon, bacon, and ground-beef. Space still remains at the tavern but make a reservation online.
Location: 400 SE Sixth St., Des Moines

Felix & Oscars
While technically a spot for Minnesota Vikings fans, the Merle Hay Road stop for pizza, pasta, and sandwiches also caters to Kansas City Chiefs supporters.

Appetizer options — from white cheddar cheese curds and classic Felix fries to pretzel balls or deep-fried pickles — make the menu.
