5 Stars: Fresh, Local Pizza - Local and Seasonal Ingredients (by johncleaver)

johncleaver — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 02:00:00 GMT

Pretty off base review below - not liking Pagliacci Pizza for whatever reason is fine - but they actually use some of the freshest, locally sourced ingredients in the industry. This weekend we had the seasonal roma tomato and basil pizza - amazing. And the reason people LOVE Pagliaccis - and the reason Pagliacci Pizza received the Life Time Achievement Award for best pizza in Seattle by the Seattle Weekly this last week (Aug '08) - best crust in the industry (Seattle) best sauce and local, fresh, seasonal ingredients. Pagliacci Rules!

5 Stars: BEST PIZZA! (by ThuNatalie421)

My boyfriend and I went here on your last day in Seattle. It was well worth it and we are definitely coming back the next time we are in town. I guess the staff could tell we were out of towners because we looked confused, but they were great. I liked the fact that there has variety on there menu. There was a lot to choose from and they also serve pasta. They also sell by the slice if you are on the go. I would have to say thank you to the delivery guy we saw at our hotel and the person who orded the pizza. We would not know this place existed if it weren't for them.

5 Stars: Super thin crust! (by tammarak)

I love Pagliacci's. If you love thin crust this is the best I've had. Have them stretch the 13" crust to 17" for an even thinner pizza. They have some really good fresh ingredients and I really like the pies with the olive oil base. My favorite, the Parma Primo, goat cheese, prosciutto, fresh basil, yum!

4 Stars: Best gourmet Pizza in Seattle (by sheilat818)

My mom and I were at a hotel and wanted pizza...in Seattle. Hard to find good gourmet pizza, but there's was great. Highly recommended and somewhat affordable. Very tasty.

4 Stars: Nice gourmet toppings, nice open-air atmosphere (by herlock)

herlock — Tue, 27 Jun 2006 02:00:00 GMT

When there pretty late on a weekday (9PM). Had a pre-made pizza by the slice (good low-cost option for a single diner) - it had spiced chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, mozzerela, and feta. Pretty good. Nice atmosphere: you can watch folks in the back hand-tossing the pizza, and the windows were all open. Even sitting inside, I could people watch folks going by on Queen Anne Ave.

3 Stars: Disappointing (by firsfirst)

firsfirst — Fri, 16 Jun 2006 02:00:00 GMT

This is just another pizza restaurant. This one happens to be clean and is located in a busy neighborhood. Make sure you bring your wallet because you won't get anything here for pocket change. Sauce is average and toppings are scarce. You will not exceed your dairy limit with this pie.

2 Stars: Boring (by dreckskim)

dreckskim — Wed, 26 Apr 2006 02:00:00 GMT

I've eaten excellent pizza in New York. While Pagliacci manages to get the overall shape correct, the resemlance to New York-style pizza ends there.

Pagliacci's tomato sauce is breathtakingly bland. Many times I have taken a bite of Pagliacci pizza, only to find myself examinging the piece in my hand to see if there was any tomato sauce at all.

In the end, the Pagliacci pizza experience is a disappointing mystery; all the ingredients should be there for an outstanding pizza but at their best, they rarely manage to eke out mediocrity. The only bigger mystery is how they acquired a good reputation.

5 Stars: Love their Pizza! (by sharklet)

Great tasting Za! I wish they were a bit more generous with their topings though. Check out their seasonal specials.

Pagliacci's is my favorite pizza restaurant in Seattle. Whenever I'm in the mood for pizza - this is where I go 9 times out of 10. They have the BEST pizza and the most amazing service. Very friendly atmosphere and the prices are amazing as well! Great salads too!

5 Stars: Delivery to die for (by Rachael B.)

Rachael B. — Sun, 08 May 2005 08:39:00 GMT

This review is of Pagliacci's delivery service. Their pizza is top notch, not too greasy or oily and they have a delicious array of toppingsd. Their call center folks are friendly and helpful and I have never had a bad pizza show up at my door. And when they say 35 minutes or less, they mean it!

PROS: Great Gelato too!
CONS:

5 Stars: Excellent pizza (by teri j.)

teri j. — Sun, 17 Apr 2005 21:32:00 GMT

Pagliacci has some of the best pizza in town. The pesto pizza is one of my favorites. They also have "happy hour" from 5-7. If you order two slices you get a free soda! Also don't forget to ask for a frequent buyers card. A free slice is always a nice treat!!!

5 Stars: Not your average pie (by Phil N.)

Phil N. — Sat, 16 Apr 2005 11:10:00 GMT

Many a tasty pie have I feasted on in my many years living in Seattle but Pagliacci has by far one of the best pie's in Seattle and do not forget to try the greek salad it's to die for.

5 Stars: Great Pizza (by Alex S.)

Alex S. — Tue, 05 Apr 2005 12:07:00 GMT

Pagliacci has the best in pizza especially if
you are from the east coast and live in
Seattle. I met the owners one time at
one of their outlets and they were the
greatest people to talk to. They told
me they really take pride in their
pizza. It shows!

4 Stars: I love this pizza (by leslie f.)

Yummy yummy yummy the crust is great. the staff at the queen anne store are really nice and you learn something new everytime you go in (daily trivia questions can land you a free soda).
p.s. they have cherry coke

4 Stars: Every piece is great (by Megan B.)

Megan B. — Mon, 04 Apr 2005 15:59:00 GMT

I'm usually a traditionalist when it comes to pizza but I have to admit that I've ventured out and tried all kinds of pizzas here and loved each one. I recommend trying a pizza without red sauce for a real change. Lots of choices for those that don't want meat and want suggestions for delicious pizzas.

5 Stars: Best Pizza in Town (by Casey R.)

Pagliaccis has always been my favorite pizza in Seattle. Whether its the Pesto Primo Special, or just a slice of pepperoni to kill the hangover, it's always a satisfying experience.

5 Stars: Best pepperoni pizza (by Rorke H.)

Rorke H. — Sun, 03 Apr 2005 18:14:00 GMT

Pagliacci's is my favorite chain pizza restaurant in all of Seattle. A fresh slice of pepperoni and a side of Pagliacci's signature salad make an excellent lunch or dinner.

PROS: pepperoni, salad, atmosphere
CONS: don't deliver widely

5 Stars: Pagliacci's (by steffwood)

steffwood — Sun, 07 Sep 2003 02:00:00 GMT

I would recommend the pizza to everyone. It is good, filling and not a bad price. Next time, will try some of their other specialties as they looked great. The staff are cool too.

5 Stars: Just plain good (by ianham)

ianham — Tue, 18 Mar 2003 01:00:00 GMT

A complete meal in one slice. I mean, what more could one ask? You've got your cheese, bread, sauce, and many meats and veggies to choose from. The best Pizza in Seattle!

5 Stars: Cheese & Pagliaccio - done (by t0adman)

t0adman — Tue, 04 Feb 2003 01:00:00 GMT

Don't listen to any of the haters posting about slices too small and too expensive. Get cheese pizza, load it up with red peppers, parmasean, herbs and a little oil and vinegar, and complete the meal with a pagliaccio salad and you've got a combo you can't beat. It's the best thin crust pizza in Seattle hands down. You want heavy pizza hit Northlake Tavern. Pags is so good.

5 Stars: Love at first bite! (by westendgirl32)

westendgirl32 — Fri, 03 Jan 2003 01:00:00 GMT

I'm away at college, but every time my brother comes to visit, he bring me a pag pizza! I remember walking in and gawking at the prices, but once i took the first bite, it was well worth the money. whole roasted garlic cloves and goat cheese??? who knew! try the chicken primo, it is just awesome! and everyone that works there is very nice and smiley, but not red-robin over-kill smiley, they are real.

4 Stars: new yorker loves this stuff (by jilly1217)

jilly1217 — Fri, 27 Dec 2002 01:00:00 GMT

spent years living in little italy in nyc and guess what? this is how they make pizza! with the thin crust, that is. (deep dish is chicago-style). some of pagliacci's seasonal specials are wacky (like the pear primo) or just not that good (the mushroom primo) but their every day pizzas are perfect. good flavor, fresh ingredients, not too much cheese. you can't ask for much more than that.

5 Stars: Pizza Bella! (by malogu)

malogu — Wed, 20 Nov 2002 01:00:00 GMT

This is without a doubt some of the best gourmet pizza known to man! The service is excellent-even delivery guys are awesome. The seasonal specials should not be missed! 2 thumbs up!

5 Stars: Best Pizza Ever (by emathias)

emathias — Wed, 02 Oct 2002 02:00:00 GMT

I think this is the best thin-crust pizza in the U.S. I'm not kidding. I've had thin-crust pizza all over, and even my New Yorker friend was impressed with it. I still compare all thin crust pizzas I try to the ones I've eated at Pagliacci.

5 Stars: The Last Man Standing (by UW_Vagabond)

UW_Vagabond — Thu, 15 Aug 2002 02:00:00 GMT

With the lamentable demise of Guidos on Greenlake, Pagliacci is left as one of the few worth-while places to get a more New-York Style Pizza in Seattle.

4 Stars: Quick and Good Eats (by CourtBC)

CourtBC — Fri, 28 Jun 2002 02:00:00 GMT

Pagliacci Pizza is a really good pizza place if you looking for some cheap eats and you can't make up your mind what you want. The pizza is a "middle-of-the-road" style, not thick, pan style but not thin and crispy. The toppings are adequate and not so much that their falling of the pizza and you can't eat it with your hands. The salads are surprisingly good and a little different from your typical garden salad. The bread sticks are pretty good but also pretty average.
