Pagliai's Pizza

Best pizza around. This is the longest-standing pizzeria in the area. Opened in 1969 by the Pagliai brothers of Iowa, who according to Armond Pagliai, who's now retired in MO, sold it to locals and thought so much of them that they allowed them to keep the family name. It's now in different hands but the quality, quantity and value continue. You get more cheese and more thick, zesty sauce on a regular Pagliai's pie than you get on the competition's extra-cheese, extra-sauce pizza! And the toppings go absolutely all the way to the edge -- no two-inch ring of bare crust around the outside. My recommendation: a thin-crust B Special, named after the long gone Warren Bode.

I discovered this place back in college 25 years ago and have been hooked ever since. It is a dive and I don't think it has been updated since my college days but the pizza is the best!! They make the pizza's in the front windows! We always get a Palace, beef, sausage, pepperoni, onions and mushrooms and they heap it with cheese!! Their cheesebread is also excellent, so soft and cheesy! Use to get the deep dish but prefer the regular crust now. Pros: Excellent Pizza, Reasonably Priced Cons: Location more
