So there I was expecting this nice round little pizza and bam, a nice surprise. Â The small pizza I ordered was rectangular, cut into squares. Â It had a wonderful crispy crust. Â They do not skimp on the toppings either. Â A very enjoyable pizza for a pretty good price. Â I would highly recommend their pizza.
Review Source:I was passing through, and I followed fellow yelpers' advice to this quaint little hole in the wall pizzeria. The dimly lit restaurant, exposed kitchen, partially rounded dinning room, and charming service all set my expectations fairly high for a unique townie lunch experience...I will go ahead and say that the result was a bit of a disappointment.
I began my meal with the highly regarded salad. This iceberg lettuce mountain, capped with a heap of mozzarella cheese was actually my biggest letdown of the experience... (I declined those damn artificial bacon pebbles). It was served on a plate so small, that consuming it meant also leaving a ring of salad debris on the table. Though the cheese was soft and fresh and the lettuce was crisp, there was nothing special about this salad. I can dump out a whole bag of shitty iceberg lettuce and then dump a bag of cheese on top of it at home, and the result would be nearly the same... How about roasted peppers, roma tomatoes, red onion, or grilled mushrooms on a salad? These are all ingredients that a pizza restaurant would have at any given time...
Next came the personal sized pizza. This was easily better than the salad, and I think I would describe it adequately be calling it "good enough." The pizza was prepared well, and had the usual ingredients. The crust was crunchy and airy and it had a light cracker quality. It was a satisfying and simplistic carrier for the pizza ingredients... My only complaint about the pizza was it's averageness. I would love to see a tad more herbaceous and lively result.
For a pretty lack luster, hole of a town it would be pretty tragic if this is "as good as it gets" for ole' Clinton... I will say that the prices at Pizza Glen extremely reasonable, and you can expect at least a typical pizza experience.
Pizza Glen has the best salad in the world! I'm not exaggerating at all. Â I am being 100% serious. Here in the little ol' Town of Clinton Mo. lies the house of so many of my fondest food memories. I have been taken here since I was about 5 and would gladly head out to see my family in Deepwater, (Whew Deepwater!) if I had the money to do so. Pizza Glen is huge in Clinton and will probably be open longer than I am alive.
The pizza is better than most and like I told you the salad is the best in the world. This somewhat dim lit little stop off the highway houses some of the best food I have ever had and I can not speak any higher of the culinary experiences I have had here. If you are anywhere in the area of Mid-west Missouri, then please go down to the Pizza Glen and engage in the wonders that they serve within its hallowed halls.
