Pagliai's Pizza

This is the best thin-crust pizza you can get. Just the right amount of cheese and toppings, great tomato sauce, and everything tastes like top-quality stuff. Very good service, too. My glass of iced tea never reached empty. By the way, it's pronounced "pawlia's" for some reason.

Pagliai's is one of the few places where I can get anchovies on a pizza. More importantly, it is one of the few places I can get anchovies on a pizza stacked high with cheese. Critically, it's about as close to Chicago pizza as you can come without going to Chicago.

Unfortunately, I don't go here all that much, because it is "pricey". It's hard to justify spending more on a smaller pizza--especially because pizza is one of those food commodities that one thinks of as cheap. They've got sandwiches and other stuff, but I don't think any of those things compare to their pizza.

Verdict? Awesome pizza, but costly. Hence, three stars.

Awesome, worth the drive, worth the money!  Best pizza you'll ever have!
