Fantastic service! Pizza was crispy and fresh. My order was delayed and I was compensated for it. Olivia was my server. She absolutely knocked it out of the park. I will be back. Amazing service and great food!

I really don’t get the hype around this place. I wouldn’t even say that I’m a pizza fanatic but the pizza here is mid at best. Got the shrimp alfredo and our friends got a half pepperoni and half of Pags Special. I’d say you could get the exact same quality from a frozen pizza. Maybe it’s because I’ve actually had real Chicago deep dish pizza but this is like frozen pizza quality. I actually prefer Casey’s (as greasy as it is) over this. Their service however was excellent. And it was pretty fast for a pizza. Prices also weren’t too bad even tho I wasn’t a fan of the pizza itself.

Extremely clean restaurant, fast service, homemade pies- sausage and beef are fresh, in house. No mystery meat.
The sauce is a thing of dreams- rich tomato. Get extra so you can have a cold slice the next day (the best)!

Had the French Dip pizza tonight and it was absolutely delicious! Definitely a 5 star pizza! Everyone is so friendly and eager to help you. Never had a bad pizza here. The restaurant and dinning area is clean, neat, and welcoming! If you haven’t had the French Dip pizza I highly recommend it! Love our local pizzeria!

Pagliai’s Pizza, Grinnell, Iowa, is FANTASTIC! I went on Saturday, 10-4-25, they were PACKED with more people waiting. Had to wait about 25 minutes, but got a seat, ordered & pizza didn’t take long. Totally worth it! GREAT service, also!

I was just driving on the interstate when I wanted a great local pizza, and I found it here. It’s a great-looking and very inviting place, with friendly, knowledgeable staff. I had a 12-inch pepperoni pizza and asked that half be extra cheese; they had no problem. I put this as a favorite place so the next time I drive that way it will be a stop for me every time. Thanks for amazing experience.

If you’re not eating at Pagliai’s in Grinnell, what are you even doing with your life? Let me tell you about The House Special—a pizza so loaded with meat that it’s practically a structural engineering marvel. Seriously, they must be losing money on every pie. You take one bite, and you can almost hear the other pizza joints in town weeping. This pizza is so good that if Trump catches wind, he’ll build a wall around it and make Domino’s pay for it.
Shout-out to Jayden, our server, who made the meal even better by spending extra time chatting with us and making us feel like family. And props to Joey, the owner, who shared the fascinating history behind their family-run restaurant empire. It’s clear that Pagliai’s isn’t just serving pizza—they’re serving tradition, passion, and an experience you won’t forget.
If you haven’t been yet, go. You’ll leave with a full stomach, a smile, and a sense that you just tasted greatness. Also, bring a big appetite… and maybe a forklift for all that meat.
Tell them Lance sent you, and you will get a kiss from Joey.

I got in late on Saint Paddy’s Day and had my heart set on a Reuben PIzza for my Corned Beef and Cabbage requirement for today.
Then just as I walked in I overhear the Owner say.. ” That’s the last Reuben..we’re outta Beef”
Achhhhhhh Nooooooo please say it ain’t so !!! LOL
After some quick negotiations, he kindly offered to scrape enough Beef up, to make a small child’s pizza.
I added that to my normal Large Sausage Pizza order land everything was right with the world again !!
And naturally both tasted fantastic and I couldn’t have been happier !!
You don’t have to wonder why they’ve been in operations, in Grinnell, since 1957 !! Love ‘Um !! ❤️

The waitress was friendly and we got our pizzas fast. We ordered the sausage and the cara special. The pizza was amazing along with the Pagliai’s bruschettsa. The atmosphere wasn’t too loud at all. I would highly recommend this place!

Smelled excellent, but drove 45 mins to a packed waiting area. They said an hour to be seated and don’t do reservations. So I will try again and update/ revise my review.
