Authentic Italian Classic Pizza Baked in Our Stone Hearth

In Ames Iowa, the smell of freshly baking pizza lingers outside of a restaurant. Behind the store front glass, a line of white-shirted cooks construct pizza after pizza in the tradition of a special Italian family recipe. This is Pagliai's Pizza. More than thirty Pagliai's Pizzas have existed across the Midwest, in Minnesota, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky and Ohio. People have been enjoying these authentic Italian pizzas for generations. Even with the large variety of locations and expanding business, there is one thing that never changes: the quality of the pizzas. At every location the customers can expect nothing less than the prized taste and unwavering quality of a Pagliai's meal. This consistency is accomplished through the strict recipe and ingredient guidelines, the stability of the kitchen staff organization, and the intense focus on quality and family that personifies the Pagliai's establishment.
