Pangrazio’s Pizza & Spaghetti House

I kinda wish the descriptions that accompany the star ratings with Unilocal had something between 3 stars, (A-​OK), and two stars, (Meh I’ve experienced better.)
In my opinion this place fits squarely in-between.the twain.
Due, (I hope). to the hour, 2:15 P.M. on a weekday, the place was just this side of deserted.
The sign at the reception kiosk said «Seat Yourself», and we did, and also grabbed menus as we passed the station.
Basically true to it’s name, not much beyond the two Italian categories. A few salads and a few sandwiches, most with an Italian Genesis.
A «Wheat» crust option under the personal pizzas caught my eye.
Call me a stickler, but I kinda think ALL their crusts and noodles were made from wheat, as ther was no proud exclamation of «gluten-​free» anywhere to be seen!
I asked the waitress if they were attempting to say «Whole wheat», and she confirmed my suspicion.
So that’s what I ordered, the lady ordered their luncheon pasta plate which, when it arrived 15 minutes before my pizza, (have you heard of timing the service MR. Pangrazio?), was comprised of a quite small salad bowl of pasta in a «meat sauce» that forgot the meat and a few freshly baked bread knots with dipping sauce.
The lady is not a huge consumer of protein, so it’s total absence left her unphased.
My tardy pizza arrived when she was nicely completing her dining experience, and, as one must do with bread at the grocery, one must check the fine print.
Based simply on the color of the crust, it might have contained some whole-​wheat, but it certainly was not entirely whole-​wheat, unless it was bleached-​whole wheat, which is difficult to come by.
Nonethess, it was a fairly light and airy, and not exactly «thin» crust as the waitress described, indeed it was medium crust at the least and thick to some.
While somewhat sparse, the toppings were fresh and flavorful.
Service for the entire room was left to a single waitress, and while stretched, was just this side of marginally adequate,
If we were to return, it would not be with any excited anticipation, just a means to a full belly. and a nonplussed palate.

Nice environment and good food. Grew up loving Pangrazios pizza in Dennison. Unilocal says my review is too short so here are some more words.

Ok place — good for families. My husband and I went here on date night and I was disappointed that I could not have a glass of wine — no alcoholic beverages served here. Cheese breadsticks ok, pasta so so, southwest chicken pizza best dish we had. Service was fine– ok place overall just not really a date night destination.
