Tried the restaurant week special: wonton pizza. Loved it for something different. Will always recommend Pagliai's for pizza in Mankato.

We ate here for dinner the day of the Marathon, so it was expectedly busy. Regardless, we located a clean table near the back and were waited on within a few minutes. The server was helpful and pleasant. We ordered the Pagliai Special (sausage, green pepper, and onion) and it was delicious. The crust was thin and crispy - which is a key to successful pizza in my book. Would return and recommend.

This place is quite possibly the best pizza place on earth. They put the pepperonis underneath the cheese (which is huge), their cheese is perfectly melted, sauce is great. You can't teach it. Tremendous pizza. Great service. Recommend to all family members, friends, and strangers. Can't say enough about this place.

Pizza never fails to be amazing! We always make a point to stop here when we're in the area!

College town pizzeria was my expectation, but I was pleasantly surprised by excellent wait staff!! And awesome food!! The salad I started with was fresh, colorful, very tasty! Then came a "Huge" plate of spaghetti with excellent sauce. The cheese bread was wonderfully covered in melted, gooey goodness! The final topping to an amazing meal, the bill With a 20% tip was only $17.00.... And I have enough leftovers for a full lunch meal!! When in Mankato, and your ready to fill your daily carb needs, definitely visit Pagliai's with a hearty appetite, you won't be disappointed

You get hit by the old school pizza aroma the second you walk in. Fantastic service, pizza is classic thin crust, heavy on the toppings and cheese. Very good!

Excellent very filling pizza that is thin in the crust but full on the toppings also an amazing garlic cheese bread with Canadian bacon and if you want a drink have a good selection. Very good service and a nice atmosphere. Can I am told he rowdy on nights when college games are playing.

Solid pizza We're inside of their expected delivery time. All specials are worth trying.

We've been to Pagliai's way too many times without writing a review, so here it is. This place has two of our favorite pizzas that we've ever eaten. My wife loves a good Taco pizza and they have the best we have experienced so far. My favorite is the bacon cheeseburger. They have Al the classics and we have never been disappointed with anything we've ordered. My son is not a big pizza fan and orders their pasta and sandwiches/subs and loves them. Service is solid. They have a small selection of domestic and even local brew beers. They also have a nice selection of ciders if you're into those. It is a classic pizza joint. Don't expect any fancy seating or decor. The pizza ovens are on full display up front, dinner and a show!

Good pizza, but too much sauce for my liking. Our server was super attentive and told us about all their specials and checked in on us regularly. My husband and I both got personal sized pizzas for lunch, and it was more than enough and a steal for $8 with a pop included. If we're down in the area for lunch, we'll definitely stop in again, I'll just order with light on the sauce.
