I've been going to Pagliai's for around 30 years and a couple of things have remained absolute constants. The Pizza is great and Hot and it's clean. The pizza is a thin crust pizza as others have mentioned. If you want deep dish or thick, you need to seek it elsewhere. They do one thng and do it consistently very... more

Pagliai's (pronounced "polly-eyes") has a simple menu: pizza, pop beer. (Really. No fries or burgers or anything else.) Pizza is hand-tossed and served with ordinary toppings (no goat cheese here).

A friend recommended trying Pagliai's Pizza and I wish that I knew of this place sooner! They offer excelllent, hot thin crust pizza. The staff was friendly and the price was moderate. You can also purchase frozen pizzas to make at home for about $5 less than the cost of the eat in/carry out cooked pizzas. more

I've been a fan of Pagliai's since I first ate there in junior high three decades ago. In college, it was my first choice on Sunday night when the dorm cafeteria was closed. We've taken our children there from birth to college. It's one of places in town where everyone mixes -- babies, college kids, professors, non-University people, etc. And... more
