SO expensive. Loud. $18 salads with romaine lettuce and none of the ingredients. Warmish beer on tap. The pizza didn't gave the big rise because they overwork the dough. Decent flavor. Not Neapolitan. The deep dish/Detroit style was good, not great. Overall...eh

We ordered 4 of the thin crust pizzas and one of the Detroit style pizzas. The Detroit style cacio e Pepe was everyone’s favorite. Don’t sleep on the Detroit style pizza!

Sooo good, truly a hidden gem right in the heart of short north. We unknowingly arrived 15 minutes before closing and they still took us, but we didn't expect the best effort with it being closing time but this may have been THE best pizza I've had in Columbus! I'll be back for sure on my next visit!!!

Fantastic pizza. The honey and hot honey on pizza is a nice touch - sweet, savory, and spicy...you can't beat that.

This spot has been high on my list to try for a long time and my only regret is that we waited too LONG! The vibes are of your old school pizza joint but with an adult vibe and a bit of nostalgic memorabilia. We were sat is the coziest nook of a corner where I truly could sit all night sipping wine and eating pizza like the true queen of all of my daydreams! Our server Caitlin was delightful, engaging, knowledgeable and clearly loves food as much as we do! We opted for three Neapolitan pizzas since that was their special on a Wednesday night. This was a good strategy, especially for a first visit as all of the pizzas on the menu sounded amazing! We had the Timmy Too's which drew me in with the promise of post bake ricotta, the Cacio e Pepe (because what's better than one favorite meal but two combined and I didn't have to kill my bicep grating all of that delicious pecorino), and the Hellified Pork Belly. Truly the Cacio e Pepe is hands down one of the BEST pizzas I've ever had (and I've had many) but surely the best in Cbus. My husband loved the pork belly and about finished the whole thing off as he raved about it between bites. The chew of the crust was perfection with a perfect amount of char and the flavor combinations were delightful with an amazing ingredient quality. Don't miss out on this gem. We'll definitely be back!

We walked in around 4:30pm on Friday and was seated right away! Their happy hour is great with $6 wine (huge pours), $8 cocktails and half off draft beers. We got Hellboy and their caesar salad to share and they were both amazing!!

Third night in a row I've called to order a simple pizza for pickup and been told they're no longer taking orders. If it takes "15-20 minutes" for a pizza to be made, should be able to take orders. I've always enjoyed Paulie Gee's but lately it seems like the service is more inclined to make sure they close shop than take an order from a longtime local customer. Disappointed. If you want their pizza (which is delicious) get there at 4:00 when they open apparently, because they will not take your order if it's an hour from closing.

some of my favorite pizzas in the city, especially love the squares! a great spot for a casual dinner (just you or with friends) or date night. friendly staff and a great vibe. carry out tastes just as good!

Updating because I have tried a couple more pizzas now -- the cherry and prosciutto is so good!!! You would never think of cherries going on a pizza, but they did it right. When my friend ordered the pizza for some reason I was thinking it would be cherry tomatoes, but was totally not disappointed when I realized they were actually dried cherries instead. I also tried their caesar salad, which is served with whole romaine leaves and actually has some sort of pepper on it so it's a little spicy, which is awesome. It was probably one of my favorite caesar salads that I've ever had. And I love their martini and pickle cocktails. YUM. For a pizza spot, they actually have a great take on mixology, too. I definitely want to try the pickle pizza soon too because I am a pickle fanatic. On Tuesday nights they have happy hour all night which includes $8 cocktails. Dinner at Paulie Gees can get a little expensive so it's absolutely worth going on days when they have specials/hitting up happy hour between 4-6. I'll definitely be going to Paulie Gee's more often now that I've explored a little more of the menu. They've totally ruined me on all other pizzas.
Absolute best pizza spot In town you will not be disappointed the owner has really paid attention to all the finer

It is a classic and authentic Italian pizza restaurant. There were only pizzas, salads, and bar drinks available. The pizza tasted decent coming out from a wood fired oven. The service was fantastic and fast. The pizza was made freshly and quickly, but its price was a little high. The goat cheese was so decent that I could feel the cheese raised the price.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian pizzas and salads
