Pagliacci Pizza

Great dough, slices available, love your seasonal selections (pizza with chanterelles, cauliflower).

Pizza: a huge step up from generic pizza places. Perfectly cooked every time and unique toppings! More than once they have accommodated really obnoxious intricate orders of mine! At one point, I was eating vegan and creating small 8 topping pizzas. No one has ever been less than gracious about my questions or substitutions.
The operators are very kind and delivery drivers go above and beyond to be accommodating. Last week we ordered a pizza for dinner and I missed the delivery! We have a gate at the end of our driveway and forgot to open it! They were SO kind when I called to apologize. The guy who answered the phone was hilarious and did not act inconvienience at all! They remade my pizzas and REdelivered them at no extra charge! So kind.
When we go to the main st location, I am always blown away by customer service. Everyone works so hard behind the counter and the manager is so cheerful. I have witnessed NUMEROUS customers with rotten attitudes who are met with unfazed employees who remain calm, respectful, and positive. Love them

It was okay. I guess we were spoiled by excellent pizza in Portland. We may go back it was not bad but it was not as good as the hype

Great pizza joint! My office orders pizza from here all the time. They have great crust and gluten free options. Their pepperoni is amazing along with their Hawaiian. Their salads are huge! Do not order the biggest size unless you are feeding 20+ people.

Happy, Happy, Joy. Joy !!
The ONLY reason I’m not giving a 5 Star is that it is Pricey for Pizza, no matter how Good.

Delicious pizza! Also what makes them a great place to go is the fact that you can pay by the slice without having to buy a whole pizza if your on your lunch break or just not that hungry. Their prices aren’t too expensive given the fact that their pizza is delicious. Can’t go wrong here!

Pagliacci is our fave pizza place and I’m so happy they have a locations in Bellevue too! This one is small but we’ve never had trouble getting a table. The salads and pizzas are amazing, ok the gelato too, and the kids love watching them toss dough through the glass window!

So I ordered a large pizza & six pack of San Pallegrino the other night and when it arrives, he tells me «Thanks for being a good customer, this one’s on the house». I was like, HA… funny, how much do I owe you? Nothing he insists as pulls out the box with a card stuck to it that says THANKS! I just stood there for a while with a free pizza in my hand like it was the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Wow, thanks so much Pagliacci! Awesome gesture and surprise. I’ll never leave you.

My favorite pizza place in Bellevue!!!

Two and a half stars if I could. .
So the young kid at the counter had no clue. NO CLUE. Also he was slightly argumentative.
We asked for the medium size of the three available sizes of pagliacco salad. To which he relied «Small or large» no… medium. Then all huffy he pulls the empty salad boxes down to show us and guess what.. THERE WERE THREE. MEDIUM! You dink.
So that started us off on a bad note.
Salads were good, and came out fast so three stars.

If you’re local, you can ignore this one. you know about this place. If you’re new or out of town. it’s worth the read. Pagliacci is a local chain of about 15 locations that specializes in the NYC style pizza. I’ve been going here for about 30 years. They have a decent selection of pizza by the slice, but truthfully you’re missing out if you don’t get a fresh pie as well as the house salad… both are particularly awesome. Somehow, they magically manage to pull off an extremely thin crust slice of piping hot pizza, add the crispy factor and yet not manage to burn it. The secret… I think they hire Italian gnomes. The house salad is fresh tossed and filled with small chunks of salami and other goodness. better than most $ 25 buck salads for under 10 bucks. I don’t know what that one is either. but it’s magic… I order the salad to go to for a lot of pot lucks or bbqs. If you try another path. fine. but you’re missing out on the full experience. Don’t blame me. :)

I love this place! Pagliacci is my favorite pizza in Seattle but this location is the absolute best. It’s generally not too busy and you can get slices all afternoon/​evening (they’re pretty quick with pizza turnaround, so I’ve never had an issue with getting my favorite type of pizza). I definitely recommend their Caesar salad as well, it’s delicious. Customer service here is fantastic as well, everyone is so friendly (especially the female employee who often works at the counter). My only issue is that they’ve changed the crust in the last year – it’s a bit thicker and not as tasty as before, which is disappointing.
Edit: as of 11÷20÷15, it seems that they are using the old crust recipe again! I’m bumping this place up to 5 stars because now their pizza is back to being the most delicious with that less dense crust.

Some things never change… Bellevue’s beautiful but it’s still a one horse town, few places open after 10 pm. Pagliacci’s was still open; the employees were friendly; it was a pleasant and laid back atmosphere with great pizza.

I took my girlfriend here once, and she’s been there before. I was not really familiar with the atmosphere and how everything worked but the taste of the pizza was great.
It was greasy but good, and the price was also pretty nice as well too.
It’s not the best pizza in the world, but I could go back here occasionally.

I am taking them down to 2 stars since they have gone from my favorite Pizza Place in the area to equal to take home frozen.
Coming from New York City — I grew up loving pizza. One of the things I enjoyed about NY pizza is the thin crust with a taste other than cardboard. Pagliacci use to have that — and we have been coming to them since they opened.
No longer — the crust has gone down to NW bland. Yes it could be my taste buds but I did talk to three different managers at various locations and they confirmed the company is «experimenting».
Interesting concept — a pizza that allows you to grow to many stores and after success — you change it.
I am hoping they will return to the days of good and bring back the Pizza we loved. NOTE — this is not just my attitude but friends that have been with us and my NY sister who has also had many experiences of the good.
Service is good and I love the atmosphere of the older ones (U district) and the newer ones — but the taste is why we went — and that is gone.

Forget the gay marriage debate, when will it be legal to marry food? Whenever that happens, me and my slice of pizza will be the first couple standing in line at the courthouse. Good lord, I love this place. As others have mentioned, it’s definitely the best pizza in Seattle.
My girlfriends and I decided to meet in Bellevue for dinner to catch up, and after going to multiple restaurants that had long waits (Monsoon, 99 Park, Lot No 3, 520 Bar & Grill), we eventually decided on Pagliacci’s.
I usually always order the Pagliacci Salad (their version of a chopped salad) and a slice of pizza, and that’s what I had last night. It hit the spot! No need to dress up and go to the other nearby restaurants when you can stop at Pagliacci’s and get a tasty salad coupled with the best slice of pizza you’ll probably ever have.
If you go in the evenings and it’s too cold to sit on the patio, it will likely appear very crowded because they don’t have much seating, which is kind of a bummer, BUT, people don’t typically loiter around for long. Patience, grasshopper.
I’m not sure the secret behind their delicious pizza, but I think it’s the crust. Whatever it is, I’m hooked.
Bottom line: Pagliacci’s Pizza… Go getcha some!

This is Seattle’s best pizza, period. It is perfectly prepared thin crust pie hand thrown before your very eyes.
Sadly, Pagliacci does not deliver to the neighborhood where we live. So any time we’re near a Pagliacci restaurant, we make it a point to stop if we have time.
Be sure to try one of their seasonal primos. Great combinations with interesting flavors like sage or pear. Or just the old school basics like cheese, pepperoni or sausage never disappoint.
The Pagliaccio salad is a must. It’s flavorful and filling with just the right amount of seasoning/​dressing.

I’ve never had a bad slice at any Pagliacci, and this location is no different.
You can grab a slice to go or stay to devour a pie, salad, calzone, sticks and dessert. Everything I’ve ever ordered has been awesome. Their prosciutto is amazing. Everything is cooked fresh with great ingredients. The crust is just right — not thin, not too thick.
Service has always been fantastic. The servers are either animated and hilarious or simply do a fine job at taking care of us.
This location has TV’s. I always think TV’s in a restaurant is a bad idea, but some people like it. There’s an upstairs that is accessible only via a staircase so don’t be shy to tell them you need a table on the main floor if stairs aren’t your friend.
Pagliacci is not known for its salad. They are boring. Come here for the pizza. If you have someone in your party who is counting calories and won’t eat pizza, they won’t enjoy themselves and I’d suggest dining out somewhere else.
Parking is free and ample in the parking garage, as this location is part of the Bellevue Square Mall.

Our first experience with Pagliacci was in their sit down located at the Bellevue square mall. We fell in love with the pizza so we are now regulars at the main street location. We love their pizza, always made fresh and served nice and hot. They also deliver and the pizza is delivered so quickly you are not given a stale pizza like the other places.
Location: The Main Street location is nice, always clean and a neat chalkboard wall that your kids can draw if you are able to get the table that is located near the chalkboard wall. They have «bar» like seats that face out the window if you are waiting or running in for a slice or are alone. The seating is rather cramped and is not ideal for a big party because you are not able to reserve it is first come first serve. It is often busy but right now during summer their patio sitting is AWESOME!
Pizza: Their pizza and salad are always fresh and tasty. We have NEVER had an order made incorrectly and have never had an issue with our food. The pizza is so crunchy and the crust is absolutely the best, even my little guys eat the whole slice. The salads are great as well and always taste fresh.
Drink dispenser: If you order a drink they have one of those robot looking drink dispensers that you can make a million and five kinds of different flavors, the only problem with that is that there is only 1 and if the place is crowded, well you just have to sit and wait while the person in front of you choses its soda as if they are making a life changing decision.
Parking: has to be the reason why I gave this place only 4 stars, luckily we walk but when we drive there if it is busy their parking is VERY limited and you may have to park somewhere along main and walk to the restaurant.
Service: By far the icing on the cake. Always smiling, friendly and a upbeat attitude. The employees look happy to be there.

Such an awesome place to go if you LOVE pizza!
We went in a group and even had a baby with us, they have high chairs so that was a plus!
The pizza is so good, and if you want to split a slice get the party size, two people can share that!
Their pizza is really really good!
