We visited Pogolino's for the first time when we moved to Festus about 12 years ago. We don't remember much of the visit, but for whatever reason, we never went back. Having read a recent article in the Jefferson County Leader about remodeling and now serving craft beers, we decided to give it a try. We're glad we did!A bit early for dinner, we were seated immediately, and drink orders taken right away. The addition of local microbrewery beers was a good move, as I think think the Urban Chestnut Zwickel, a Bavarian style lager, is a great beer to wash down the pizza.For dinner, we had to get the Pogolino's classic "Clown Special". The name apparently was from the early years of the restaurant when it was clown themed. They tried to change it over the years, but the name just stuck.It's what I'd call a classic "everything" pie with pepperoni, ham, pork sausage, mushrooms, green peppers, and onion. It's a St. Louis style thin crust pie and square cut as you'd expect. It was PERFECTLY cooked. The edges were a little brown and crispy, and the center was done.The restaurant itself looks great. The tables are not crowded at all. The booth we sat at overlooking Main Street was very comfortable. Lighting was neither too bright nor too dim. Service was excellent, and with a smile. In fact, all the staff seemed to be smiling, moving with a purpose, and seemed genuinely happy for our business. That's a good sign. Great visit. We've added this to our list of local restaurants we'll visit on a regular basis. The news article said you're going to add wine selections. We overheard the couple behind us try to order a glass of Merlot, but were told you don't have that. You really should serve a Merlot. That pairs well with pizza.

Only disappointment would be that they only serve the country chowder on Tuesdays. Great food all the way around even the salads and sandwiches. We tend to get pasta or entrées but had the turkey club and chicken club last Friday and both were very tasty. Usually get the pasta con pesce and always have plenty leftover for lunch the next day. My son likes the Cajun pasta. Husband usually gets tortellini or a steak or fried chicken. Getting hungry thinking about it all. Try it. You'll like it.

We were traveling near this Pasta House restaurant, so we planned on stopping in for their delicious Pasta House specialty salads. We were not disappointed. The dinner rolls and butter we super good, also. Friendly waiter, clean restaurant. Stop in...you will enjoy it!

We hadnât had Imoâs Pizza for years so ordered a pizza and 8 wings. The pizza came quickly and was nice and hot but really not the style we enjoy. Iâm sure it was well prepared but the provel cheese is overwhelming and we miss the mozzarella taste on our pizza. The wings were also nice and hot and very moist and they were actually pretty good. Overall we enjoyed the meal but probably wonât order that style of pizza again for a while.
