A & A Pagliai's Pizza

Don't walk...RUN to Pagliai's it's by far the best pizza around. We live in Cedar Rapids and if we want pizza this is the place we are going. Always clean, fresh, and unbelievably delicious. Hands down best service and prices are very reasonable as well. 12/10!

I’ve been eating Pagliais for over 40 years. Ordered three pizzas for pick up last week. and they were all over cooked and even burnt. All three pizzas were overdone. Burnt crust and cheese ruins the taste.

Old school pizza paradise. Just pizza for nearly 70 years. Lovely thin crust delivered with a professional mind set

Phenomenal pizza! Get the thin crust (of course), and do NOT miss out on the sauerkraut. They're making them right in front of you and the don't skimp on the toppings or the cheese. The 14 inch pizza was enough for the three of us.

We drew a surly waitress (maybe she had a bad day), still didn't spoil our experience. Place was clean, as was the restroom.

Best pizza in the midwest? Wouldn't know because I haven't tried any others, bu this sure would be a tough act to beat..!

This restaurant serves some of the best pizza in the entire Midwest. I loved it when I was a student there at Iowa and now over 30 years later I had a chance last month to pay a visit. Still amazing! Definite go to if you are in Iowa City.

Best brick oven pizza in Iowa City. Food is always piping hot! Love this place!! Only waited for a table as long as we did because it was a Friday night and college students were coming back to school.

I have been to Italy multiple times, and Pagliai’s pizza is still the best pizza that I have ever had in my entire life. Highly recommend this pizza place! We are regular customers here for a reason! Also, it is the cleanest restaurant I have ever been too, it’s like they clean the bathrooms every half hour!

Great pizza!!!

Ordered a pickup order and was ready in the time they said it would be. When I got there I saw the place was quite busy, yet they served me quite fast despite that. Inside the building it was quite homely and the food was good, it was even still hot when I got home with it.

Not worth the hype. Just mehhh

Everyone talks about their pizza so much so now that our daughter is a student at Iowa we had to give it a go. We were able to find a handicap spot in the lot next door. The restaurant was pretty full for the time of night and a Sunday. They do not a true waiting space so when we left there was a bit of a traffic jam and patrons waiting for spots next to booths trying to eat their pizza. I know it is a historic Iowa City restaurant but they need a larger space.

It took some figuring out for seating (all they have are booths) but we found a spot that didn't hinder traffic since we had to put our other daughter, who is in a wheelchair, at the end of the booth. We ordered too much pizza (oh well, leftovers for another time!)

We will be back, but maybe to go for ease for our family.
