Fresh, Hand-Crafted Italian Specialties

Everything you are served at Pagliai’s is fresh. And let’s face it, fresh food tastes sooo much better! Our dough is made daily from a secret, memorized family recipe. Sausage is spiced and blended just the way ‘nonna’ Pagliai did it. And our meat is lovingly prepared on site.

How about our mozzarella? We custom-blend it right here in our Italian kitchen. Our old school meat pasta sauce simmers all day long waiting for a chance to delight your taste buds!

We love what we do. Bryan Pagliai is our Master chef. Travis VanderWeerdt is our General Manager. You’ll find them on site every day pursuing their passion. They’ll make sure that everything is being prepared to perfection, and that their creations exceed your expectations.

Why should you order right now? Because we’re not interested in one-time customers. We want friends for life. And one pizza is all it takes! If you want to eat in our beautiful restaurant, you will enjoy friendly service from our professional staff.

Pagliai’s is locally owned and operated. We pride ourselves in treating you with honesty, respect, fairness, kindness, consideration, and compassion.

"This is the best pizza place! Service is top notch.. Pizza is always delicious. Can not think of anything i would change or improve on. If you have not tried Paglia's, you should!"

- Karen Schnicker

”Wow! I should of came here sooner! Lunch special was AWESOME! I got salad, a HUGE slice of pizza and a soda for 9$. Way better then McDonald's. Lol The young lady I ordered from was extremely polite. The gentleman pulling pizzas kept his station OCD clean! Great customer service overall. My only disappointment is I didn't start coming here sooner!!”
