Ask anyone from Iowa City what one of their favorite pizza places is and you'll likely hear Pagliai's (Pall-ee-eyes). I remember my dad holding me up to watch the pizza makers throwing the dough up in the air. Their pizza is just as good today as it was many years ago. Note - they do not deliver, however you can get frozen pizzas.
Old-school, family-owned joint serving thin-crust pizzas made from family recipes & beer.
