Frequently criticized
- pizzaour last 2 pickup pizzas have been a little underwhelming as it seemed slightly underdone
- foodI came here at least once a week because it was so good. Unfortunately, during my last visit, my pizza tasted off and I ended up getting mild food poisoning from it. I checked the recent health inspection for this location and, sure enough, it stated they missed something on "proper cold holding temperatures".

- calzoneIt arrived burned. There was no sauce and I couldn't tell if there were mushrooms.
- chicken on my saladforgot the chicken on my salad
- chicken sausage comboThe person who answered was inexperienced, and the company's website is not updated to reflect that they no longer offer a certain type of pizza. The rude customer service order taker didn't even know about the chicken sausage combo that is no longer provided. I question who is hired to answer phones there; they seem goofy.
- coldThis location, like the others, makes high quality pizza. However, for some reason, the deliveries here are always much later than estimated and cold. I don’t have this problem when ordering pick up.
- crustI’m just not a big fan of the crust
If you're looking for delicious, high-quality pizza with great crust and fresh ingredients, this place is generally a solid bet. Just be mindful that some experiences mention issues with food temperature or inconsistent quality, so it might be a slight gamble on a busy day.

- staffMy experience at this establishment was overwhelmingly positive. I enjoyed their great pizza, and the friendly staff provided fast service. A significant advantage is that they are open later than most other places, which is very convenient.
- serviceI am more susceptible to food poisoning, so I'm officially done with this location. Original: This used to be my favorite pizza spot because the food was amazing, they were stellar with the quality of the ingredients, and the service was great. I came here at least once a week because it was so good.

- service speedI went in around noon during lunch for work to grab a slice quickly. My experience was super fast and easy, and it was cheaper than a fast food place. They had 3 or 4 different pizzas to choose from, and I'm sure they had some signature salads as well, though I didn't order them.

- waiting timePagliacci is usually my go-to, but this location has let me down a few times. While the restaurant wasn't busy, everything took so long, suggesting they might have been understaffed. The pepperoni pizza they had out was visibly undercooked.

- disjointed counter personnelMy experience at this restaurant was marked by slow service and disjointed counter personnel. Completed orders were not being delivered to waiting customers.
- goofyThey're goofy
- inexperiencedsomeone who was inexperienced
- kitchen staffMy experience at the restaurant was marked by a significant lack of attention at the counter. There were 8 people working the kitchen, yet no one was available at the counter to assist walk-in customers. It would have been much better if there was at least one person dedicated to helping those arriving.
If youre looking for a place with generally friendly and quick service, youll likely be pleased. Just be aware that some customers have experienced longer waits or coordination issues, especially with deliveries, so it might be best to manage your expectations during peak times.

Best Pizza Crust in Seattle!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I found it to be my favorite pizza place in Seattle. They have truly mastered the crust, which I suspect is a secret recipe.
The staff were also awesome; they clearly hire great people. I'm even considering franchising this concept in Poulsbo, Kitsap. What do you think?

Best Pizza Ever with Great Service!
I had one of THE BEST pizzas I've ever had tonight with my family. It's a seasonal one, called the Chanterelle Prosciutto Primo, and it tasted sooooo scrumptious. The service here was friendly like always and they brought our dinner directly to our table.
I even have a couple slices to eat tomorrow. 🤩 Great pizza, good food, awesome time with family!

Majestic Salad and Favorite Pizza!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, largely thanks to the exceptional service from Zoey and Rowan, who instantly made me feel welcome and lit up the room with their energy. They truly deserve a raise! I started with the Paggliaccio salad without salami, which was majestic and a perfect beginning to the meal.
The Nonna's Pasta was succulent and served with one of the best breadsticks I've ever had. The kitchen absolutely nailed the Verde Primo, which I can confidently say is easily my favorite pizza I've ever had, no hyperbole. The vegetarian options are great, and the Verde Primo is GOATed ong.
It's the type of place a kid would appreciate during a fun family day out. The atmosphere, service, and food all received a 5-star rating.

Consistently Great Pagliacci Experience
My experience at Pagliacci has been consistently great. I visit various locations weekly while out working, and I'm always impressed with the food quality, service, and atmosphere. The pizza and salads are consistently good, and the service is always top-notch.
It's a family-friendly place with high chairs available, and the locations are very clean and spacious. For vegetarians, they offer a few meatless pizzas and always have cheese pizza available, making it somewhat recommendable for them. Parking is easy with a free parking lot and plenty of space.
While they only accept walk-ins, the indoor dining area provides a comfortable seating experience. The wheelchair accessibility is also noteworthy, with most locations having double doors, no thresholds, and easily movable seating. Overall, it's a reliable choice for lunch.
