I would like the cheese a little more bubbly but I still thought it was a great pizza. The burger was nominated in 2024 for one of the best burgers in Iowa. I have had the 2024 best burger a week ago and this burger is better by far. This burger has great flavor, thick and cooked perfectly. The bun had a crisp to it and didn't get too mushy. Onions rings were good but not the best I have ever had. I would still order them again because they were crispy and not overly greasy. The ranch wasn't Hidden Valley. Service was great. Ambience is a nice, clean, small town bar.

Pete's Pizza I -Town…read more Pete's needs more phone lines. This place is insanely busy and the reason is because they are slinging delicious pies. It's that college pizza place vibe. The staff was friendly. The kitchen was busy, but everyone had a job and were working seamlessly. We got the supreme, which is Canadian Bacon, Pepperoni, Sausage, Green Peppers, and Onion hold the shrooms, to go. The pizza is phenomenal. Plenty of toppings with a fabulous thin crust. Definitely adding this place to my pizza rotation if in the area. The hype is real and that's why the phone line is always busy. Only cash or check.

If you find yourself passing through Eagleville, Firehouse 54 is a total hidden gem. It's exactly…read morewhat you want from a small-town spot--great food, friendly service, and a local vibe that makes you feel right at home. The Food They are known for their hand-stretched pizza, and the crust is definitely the highlight. It has that perfect chew and char. The Pizza Bowls: A great option if you're trying to stay low-carb but still want all the pizza flavors. Taco Tuesday: If you're lucky enough to be there on the 2nd or 4th Tuesday of the month, the tacos are a must-try. Just a heads up--they usually only do tacos on those nights, so no pizza then! The Vibe It's a cozy, "hole-in-the-wall" kind of place in the best way possible. It's where the locals hang out, and the staff is incredibly welcoming to travelers. Because they are only open for a few hours in the evening (5 PM - 8 PM), it can get busy quickly, so showing up early is a good move. Things to Know Hours: They have a short window, so plan your drive accordingly! Parking: Plenty of easy street parking right in front. Takeout: They do a brisk carry-out business if you're just passing through on the I-35 and want a better meal than typical fast food.

Wow! That tells me we've got to go back & try that pizza!! We started with crab Rangoon & egg rolls. Guys had the last two specials (it was only 6 pm): New York strip steaks with potatoes, salad bar & garlic bread. Friend got a chicken gyro salad & said the meat was really good & loved it. Guys liked their steaks & enjoyed the one trip salad bar. I had lasagna with garlic bread & a one trip salad bar. The lasagna wasn't very big & was okay. The salad bar, though small, had enough variety to be good. Our waitress was really good: efficient, positive & attentive! It's a regular person's kind of restaurant--you'll like it, too!

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!

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.
