Delicious pizza!! Got a thin crust with sausage and veggies and it was very good. Light and delicious. Also got a salad with house dressing, salad was nothing special but the dressing was so good! Dipped my pizza in it as well.

Excellent pizza, slow service but that was very likely due to them being very busy on s Sunday evening.

Haven’t eaten inside, but the pick up is easy. They don’t deliver anymore, so that sucks, but their food is definitely worth the price. It is a little pricey, but definitely worth it! Great treat or place to celebrate!

The set up in this little place is super cute. You can watch them make pizza as you dine.

I’ve eaten here twice and wasn’t disappointed either time. The cheese styz are absolutely amazing! The pizza is absolutely amazing as well. I found that thick crust may be my favorite so far. I’ll be back to try the pan crust.

Food wasn’t bad at all… I know y’all are in high school but you have to be better at customer service. I hear how bad this place is for CS in every town I go to. Conversely, that means we are talking about the pizza in every place I go to. That means you’ve got great food. Just… Not so great people working for you.

Their phone doesn’t work, so we decided to dine in. We showed up and seated ourselves like the sign said. No one talked to us for 20 minutes even though tables nearby (that came after us) did get their order in. Could not make eye contact with any of the working staff, so we decided to leave. While I was there, multiple people got their order wrong, and one guy had his pizza on a chair.

Always impressed with Pagliais. But the service we had was not the greatest, maybe cuz we don’t go there every week, and was not recognized. Pizza was great, drinks were great, service not so good. Place is tiny if we had our son not sure where we would put a wheel chair.
