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!

It was light and tasty and a great way to end the meal.

I had been to Mike's Pizza in Toledo a few years ago when RAGBRAI came through, and I remembered…read morethe pizza being really good. So after a long day riding bicycles from Ankeny to Toledo, I was excited to bring Kim here. The anticipation was high, and we were definitely hungry. The waitress was awesome, and the beers were cold, even if they felt a little small. The service was friendly, and the pizza came out quickly -- maybe a little too quickly. Unfortunately, the pizza just did not live up to my memory from RAGBRAI in 2023. The crust was soft and seemed a little underdone instead of crisp. We probably should have asked them to fix it, but after that many miles on the bikes, hunger won and we ate it anyway. The place was not very busy, so I do feel like the kitchen should have had time to get it right. The prices were okay, maybe a little high for a medium pizza, but not outrageous. Overall, the service was great and the place has some small-town charm, but the pizza itself was just not what I remembered. Now I can say we have been there together, but it would probably take a rare day for Toledo to be a meal stop again. I just wish this visit had been as good as the memory.

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.

What a disappointment…read more The pizza was thin, soggy, and brought back memories of middle school cafeteria lunches, and not in a nostalgic way. Unfortunately, the service wasn't much better. Our server seemed to be on a world tour, with 15-20 minutes between visits to the table. To top it off, our group ordered four pizzas, but they arrived one at a time, spaced about 5-6 minutes apart. By the time the last pizza showed up, the first one was already halfway gone. Dining together shouldn't require synchronized patience and a stopwatch. Overall, a frustrating experience with food and service that fell well short of expectations.

They are famous for their taco pizza, which I happily ordered. My family also ordered the Bavarian and said that they truly enjoyed it. What's also wonderful is that they have gluten free crust available, which is perfect as one of my family members has a severe gluten allergy. When we arrived, we were greeted warmly and seated quickly. It did take a little bit before our server came to take our order. After that, however, the service was excellent and our server was just lovely. The food came out hot and timely and overall we just had a relaxing meal. It was just what we needed!
