What a disappointment…read more The pizza was thin, soggy, and brought back memories of middle school cafeteria lunches, and not in a nostalgic way. Unfortunately, the service wasn't much better. Our server seemed to be on a world tour, with 15-20 minutes between visits to the table. To top it off, our group ordered four pizzas, but they arrived one at a time, spaced about 5-6 minutes apart. By the time the last pizza showed up, the first one was already halfway gone. Dining together shouldn't require synchronized patience and a stopwatch. Overall, a frustrating experience with food and service that fell well short of expectations.

They are famous for their taco pizza, which I happily ordered. My family also ordered the Bavarian and said that they truly enjoyed it. What's also wonderful is that they have gluten free crust available, which is perfect as one of my family members has a severe gluten allergy. When we arrived, we were greeted warmly and seated quickly. It did take a little bit before our server came to take our order. After that, however, the service was excellent and our server was just lovely. The food came out hot and timely and overall we just had a relaxing meal. It was just what we needed!

And I don't say that as a bad thing. It's an old school small town bar, and place for people to gather and eat pretty reasonably priced pizza. The building is old and not real attractive, but don't let that fool you. I don't know anything about this place, but I'd guess it's a family run joint. The bar tender was also our server....it was a quiet day there. She was quite pleasant and really did a good job. She may have been part of the owning family. The food was very reasonably priced and the pizza was surprisingly good. We had a thin crust pizza. The crust was very good. The fried pickles were pretty good too, although they were served in one of those red plastic baskets without any paper lining. I was a little surprised by that and hoped the basket was cleaned, but I was so hungry I actually didn't care. It tasted good. The beer was good and cold and pretty cheap too. I debated on giving this place 3 stars. My gut said to go with 4. If you can appreciate an old school pizza joint, that looks like it's held a couple of small town wedding receptions or parties in the back room, then you'll know why I gave it 4 stars. Not all people will love this place, but it sure hit the spot and helped us kill some time and drink a few cool ones before we had to move on.

The crust was just right. The amount of sauce was just right. The waitress was friendly and took our order at our seats. Drinks were self serve.

We'd heard of this pizza spot since we arrived to Grinnell, so naturally we had to try it…read more Immediately greeted as we walked in the door and loved that we could see all the chefs in the kitchen right then and there. It was busy but not so much that we didn't get sat right away. Our server was also busy so someone else took our drink order - and then gave us menus. We ended up ordering the meatballs, a salad, and a classic pie, and walked out also with a cool vintage looking Pagliai's tee! The meatballs were large, came with two, and really flavorful. The sauce was classic tomato but not basic, you could taste the aromatics and that was so good. Basic salad but really delicious runny ranch to go with it, which I loved. I dipped the crust from my pizza in it and it was just so good! For the pie we split it in half - half with meats and the other half with special. The crust was thin and also seasoned nicely and couldn't say enough about how delicious the cheese was. It was so gooey and thick - it made the pizza so incredibly good. Besides our server taking us on due to the prior one being too busy, the vibes inside were chill and casual, music was good and the atmosphere was pleasant. Everyone behind the pizza counter had smiles and acknowledged you. Was a real delight. Everywhere in Grinnell folks rave about Pagliai's and we understand why. We'll definitely have to come back!
