First visit to Cranky Hank's, and my experience could not have been more positive! This restaurant…read moreis a hidden gem in Shellsburg! I was greeted as soon as I entered, and the order was taken in a very timely manner. The owner came over to the table and told the story of how Cranky Hank's name was established. He was very personable and I observed that he made it a point to engage with every customer, ensuring that their experience was excellent. The cheeseburger pizza was the BEST cheeseburger pizza that I've ever had! It was baked to perfection, with just a hint of mustard and ketchup, which sets it aside from all of the other cheeseburger pizza in the world. The cheesecake was also delectable! My son enjoyed the cheesecake very much! Thank you to ALL of the excellent staff at Cranky Hanks, your service was over the top! Thank you to the owner, you provide quality food, atmosphere and kindness to all who enter your establishment. We will be returning!!

This place has the worst pizza I've ever eaten. I've had pizza at over 50 pizza places in my life…read more This one is definitely the worst. I was told if I didn't like the pizza I would be given a refund. Attached is a photo in response to my request for a refund, that I was assured I would receive if I didn't like the pizza.

I'm writing this review while dining on some enjoyable pizza. But wait! I've given Jolly Roger's a…read moreone star rating. That's right. Because my pizza came from down the street at the Pizza Ranch. Now, I've eaten at Jolly's several times and have enjoyed the pizza. What is different you ask? For the first time ever in my life, I walked out of a restaurant due to poor service/attitude. The best part was I was going to suck it up and deal with it, but when my teen-aged child caught the "we don't want you here" vibe; you know it's time to say something. Friday night and I'm in Vinton and hungry due to the fact that we hadn't had time for supper. So we go to Jolly's and the first thing I do is ask my kid to check their door for their hours. The "Open" Light or beer lights were on and she reported that the door sign said until 10 pm. Ok, lets eat. We walk in and we can tell the back part of the restaurant had their floors mopped (par the course - don't wait until closing to start to clean. I'm fine with that.) and no other customers were visible. I asked the woman who was standing in there if they were still open, knowing that the sign had said open until 10pm. She informs us that they take orders until 9:30, not a problem since US Cellular showed it was only 9:10 and we knew what we wanted. She indicates that they are and we go in and sit. Drink order is taken and she comes back and we give her our order. Already my kid is feeling the vibe, cause I get a text message saying, "Seems cranky". I agreed and we ordered the pizza to go so that we wouldn't inconvenience them any longer. But because we were starving, we ordered cheese bread cause that doesn't take long to prepare; right? Yes, right. Just got to melt the cheese. At this point she goes back to tell the pizza maker with the order. This is in the same room and there is no divider. You can tell she isn't happy at this point but again I was going to just let it go. Another adult comes out and I hear her talking about our order and then how "the oven is cold and blah, blah, blah." My kid looks at me with the "this isn't what service looks like" look. So I proceed to ask the woman if they would rather not make our order. Because at this point, only thing the cook has done is put the crust on the pan. (I could hear the crust roller thing) She launches into a explanation about what she really meant, but "you can go if you want". Hmmm, not the message I was hoping to hear. I ask again and clarify that it really feels like they don't want to bother with our order and we have felt like that since she took our order. She responds with the same, "I don't care what you do. You can go if you want." Will my food have spit in it if I stay? We elect to leave and go three doors down to the Pizza Ranch that is also open until 10pm. They welcome us warmly and our pizza is out to us in less than 15 minutes. I can understand if I had walked in at 9:50 and had wanted a pizza. But seriously, if you are going to advertise your hours either stick with them or when asked "are you still open" tell us what you really want; "I'm sorry, we've been without customers for the last hour so we are closing up early." Had she said this, I would have respected that and went down to the Pizza Ranch from the get go. Sorry Jolly's. Won't be back and as poor service goes, you know customers are quick to tell others.

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.

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.

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!
