They do such a wonderful job. Very tasty and they are not afraid to put on the toppings. They are always crazy busy, but are always very kind and friendly. Defiantly my choice for pizza, subs and yummy salads.

Good one. Much better than one of more popular chains pizza places. Only set back is they don't deliver. I guess I can live with that because their pizza is so good.

Great pizza, subs, salads, and chicken. A Morrow County staple for many years. Great quality product- not too many pizza places make their own fresh crust on site and still shred their own cheese! Even when they are super busy (most weekend nights) they are still super efficient and friendly.

I got a meatball sub and it was delicious, but quite messy. Seemed fairly quick considering it was obvious everyone was busy filling pick up orders and the prices were very reasonable. I have had many meatball subs and some places skimp on the meatballs, purple Indian did not! We will be back!

A friend had told us about the Purple Indian Pizza, it is a place you wouldn't just stumble on to because it is in behind a car wash. It was a Sunday evening, very busy but very courteous, the pizza was amazing,fresh toppings, homemade crust, and the most reasonable prices I've seen anywhere. Restroom leaves a lot to be desired but great pizza made up for that!!!

Great pizza, but the service on the night we were here was sub par. To be fair, our party of 12 kept the location open about 20 minutes past the close time of 8pm, but the employees kicking rocks up with their tires leaving was a bit much. Okay, enough of that, the pizza was fantastic. This exact place is where my mother and father met and had dates before I was born, so I guess I gotta thank the place for life. I am happy to see that even in this economy some of the small shops are hanging on, and hope to see this one do the same.

I've been going to the Purple Indian for as long as I can remember. This place holds a lot of nostalgia for me, as I spent countless Friday nights there as a kid, after the football games, drawing on the giant chalkboard and gobbling up pizza. Birthday parties, dinners with friends, and once I was old enough to drive, picking up pizzas and bringing them to parties. For me, going to the Purple Indian is the quintessential small town experience. That being said, the pizza itself is fantastic. Now I live in NYC, where great pizza can be found on every corner, but nothing compares to the pies served up by PI, with the crust that is deliciously crispy and chewy at the same time. I insist on getting pizza from PI *every* time I make it back to Mt. Gilead. I crave this stuff and look forward to it all year.
