    Pizza!!!!
    Small town. Family owned.
    The owner is there working to serve you.

    We snagged a seat in the back and was served right away.
    Our waitress, who also managed and owned the place was very sweet and quick.
    The size salad was amazing. Simply ice burg lettuce smothered in mozzarella cheese.
    Took a tip from a local and opened up a napkin and put it underneath the bowl. It did end up everywhere. Lol

    The Rogella pizza was delicious. Came out tongue burning hot! It was a pizza with cream cheese!  This was fabulous.

    We beat the crowd as people started pouring in as we were getting ready to leave.
    What a great little place for the price and pizza. What a small town gem.

    My friend said her mom had worked there on the 70s. She had a picture on her phone and the place hasn't changed a bit. That's great to see.

    So 1st it is a pizza place and the pie was great. We ordered pepperoni, sausage, and onion with extra sauce. The place was packed but our service was still excellent. You must get some beer in the ice cold mugs, so cold and amazing. The outside looks like a crappy dive, but when you walk in it is an amazing dive.

    Indianola is lucky to have two pizza joints on the square: Pete's and Winns.

    For dinner I visited Pete's with a couple of friends. We split a large pizza (plenty for three people), and indulged in a pitcher of beer ($8.50). The vegetable pizza was cooked to perfection and finger-licking good; the crust was perfect. Frosted mugs were served with the pitcher of beer, very old school.

    My one large complaint about Pete's is the acoustics and resulting noise. When it's busy, it's tough to carry on a conversation without speaking loudly. The space is small and confined, and while normally I would call this cozy, it's a hindrance having to speak so loudly to be heard.

    Other than the noise, the ambiance is cool, comfy and sporty. And nobody can say that the games up front aren't cool. What better way to top off a dinner of pizza and beer than with some basketball?

    Don't let the exterior fool you! This place, though a bit dive-y, is clean, the service is great, and a lot of love goes into their pizza. Definitely worth a try for a casual dinner out. Come hungry.

    Pete's has some awesome pizza. Thin crust, cornmeal on bottom, delicious sauce and good amount and quality of toppings.
    It's a small bar on the town square, and a fantastic place to eat. Small seating area, so be ready to wait if you are planning to dine in. The atmosphere is a ton of fun, and anyone would enjoy it. There's a little arcade in the entry area, which is fun for kids or adults!
