We got onion rings to start and they were good, as usual. I just think 30 seconds more in the fryer would make them a little crisper and tastier. Our Canadian bacon mushroom pizza was awesome! 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.

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!

We went on May 21st, and we were greeted by 2 men at 8:40 pm.

And we were FULL after a 10.5 hour drive, but then they brought out a custom made veggie pizza which we DEVOURED.
