Now I understand why this place has been here forever!! Great crust on this pizza. Sauce, cheese and other ingredients are good quality. Only "dings" I give them: the unorthodox slicing makes it really hard to eat - just finish slicing with two more cuts!! And the large pizzas we ordered got very soggy in the center, making those slices less desirable, which is counter intuitive. The place was PACKED when we went to pick up our ToGo order. Not even room to stand and wait inside. Plus it looked like it had its last makeover in perhaps the mid 70s. I liked the pizza, sliced it more myself and would definitely recommend take out.

Pizzas have more topping options than in the distant past, but a lot of the menu has stood the test of time. You need to pay in cash, but there is an ATM on site. Watch for your Kennedy Half Dollar in your change. You can get pre-made frozen pizzas with a bit of advance notice; you'll need to find someone to ship them. We like to get the half-baked pizza and take it home and freeze sections to have later. On our most recent visit we got dinner and took home our half-baked pizza to start enjoying the next evening. I got the Italian Beef and my wife got Fries Chicken. Both were great! I had a large pile of tender beef with green pepper on French bread. The chicken was crispy, piping hot, and delicious. The tables are either original or food replicas, as are the chairs. They still have the old style cloth rotating hand towels in the bathroom, with paper towels for the less adventurous. Bar drinks are good, and they carry a wide variety of beer by the bottle and can and soda by the can so you won't have to take a Pepsi product over Coca-Cola or visa-versa. You may get to enjoy sitting at a table with others if they're busy, but don't shy away from making new friends It's a unique style of pizza (QC style), but there are a lot of us that like it and I've converted a number of newbies into fans! Relax, enjoy the unique vibe, and have some darn tasty grub.

We were looking for good Italian food in the area last night, as we are visiting LeClaire Iowa from…read moreout of town and found Gilanella's across the river in Rapids City. When we walked into the mostly empty restaurant, except for 3 guys sitting at the bar, it was kind of an uneasy gut feeling I had, but decided to persist neverless. My party of 6 sat at a large table and the very friendly hostess/waitress/cook/barkeep brought us menus and took our drink order. As we sat there perusing our menus and waiting for drinks, the 3 dudes at the bar were talking about nothing in general with dropping F-bombs and about every vulgar sexual situation, more loud cursing, (at this point, the waitress who wore many cloaks) joined in and sounded more like a sailor at sea than she did a sweet, friendly waitress. At this point 2 of the loud cussing patrons at the bar left and it became tolerable. THE FOOD: I ordered the spaghetti with a couple of meatballs added, and she assured me they were home made. I also ordered a dinner salad with blue cheese dressing. The salad she prepared was very fresh and crispy and there was no issue with that. However, when the main course arrived that was a different story. The meatballs were simply balled up hamburger with no flavor, and the marinara was nothing more than a jar of dollar store spaghetti sauce that tasted like it had equal cups of sugar and salt instilled in its making. The others in my party commented on the pizza's (I agree with the review about Jack's pizza being microwaved tasting better). They stated the dough was not home made dough, but was probably more like chef boyardee pizza dough mix, however, could have also been a dollar store purchase, and was very salty as well. The Margarita pizza was more of a cheese pizza with a few tomato's tossed here and there and a basil leaf chopped into miniscule pieces . On a good note, the garlic cheese bread and plain garlic bread were pretty good. The styrofoam plates and plastic dinner ware were a nice touch to the meal as well. I can honestly say it won't be happening again. The lack of cars in the lot, empty tables, and 3 or 4 patrons at the bar, tells me this isn't really an eating joint, but a place for locals to hang and drink, then have the bar tender toss together some "drunk food" . Yes, I tipped her, as she was very nice and cordial to us, but waiting 45 minutes for our food, and all of the other lack of a sensible dining experience, will prevent another visit to this restaurant.

It is a barebones place. Nothing fancy. The complimentary chips and salsa were not bad. There was something about the salsa that made it hard to stop eating (it was probably salt). I had the Sombrero Special. It was a chicken burrito and chicken enchilada along with the usual accompaniments for a casual Mexican restaurant (lettuce, tomato, guacamole, etc). I was not impressed. It wasn't terrible, but was not really very flavorful either. For dessert, I had the sopapillas. Again, they were adequate, but nothing memorable. Prices were on the low side, which was probably appropriate for the quality of the food. The food is adequate, if you are in downtown Leclaire and really hungry. If I was going out specifically for a meal, this would not be my first choice for Mexican food in the Quad Cities.
