Excellent pizza. Friendly staff. Try the GF crust - it's to die for!…read more I ordered black olives and anchovies, and here, I got plenty of both, which is unusual! Others in the party ordered various other topping on both GF and regular crust. Every pizza was luscious - the loaded veggie, the veggie "lite cheese," the sausage and pepperoni, and the weird mashup with mushrooms and jalapeños that one of my aunts got. Highly recommend. Beats Pizza Ranch HANDS DOWN.

The crust held up well to the toppings and sauce, and it wasn't too thick or thin! The flavors melded together perfectly! We also shared an ice cream flight which was spoon licking and bowl licking good! The building was small with just a couple of tables. Even though it was small, it was inviting. It's a great place to meet friends and just spend some time catching up. The lady who took our order and served us was friendly, helpful, and patient since we probably changed our minds multiple times trying to decide what to order.

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!

Many of the restaurants here in town are closed on Mondays, so we were glad there was a spot open and this place had pretty good reviews. We would've popped for the pizza because it looked amazing, but neither of us can eat such thick crust pizza anymore and not regret it so we went for the Mexican options My husband ordered the super chicken burrito, which basically has two big scoops of chicken and fillings and he said it was very good I just went for a small taco salad with chicken to keep it late tonight. For a small taco salad, there was a lot of food in that bowl. I think most of the town was here tonight ordering up pizza, lol so if you can eat pizza, I would go for that The bill was very reasonable at $17 total before tip.
