Been going to Pags for years. I am from Dallas and I have never found a better pizza than this. If you like meat lovers type get the Italian Stallion well done, you WILL NOT be disappointed. If you are there for lunch they have a 10$ pizza and soup deal that is hard to beat. I get the sausage pizza and chicken soup. Always hits the spot!

What a gem! Stumbled upon Pagalo's while road tripping through rural Illinois. We were greeted with kindness and wonderful hospitality. They have an amazing lunch deal. Very reasonable prices. We each got a 7in pizza. They were cheesy and fresh, and the crust was fluffy and crispy and just delightful. I also ordered the Wisconsin Cheese soup. I received a very generous portion, and even took some home with me. A lovely experience all around. Highly recommend. And I'm a Chicago and Rockford pizza girl, so I know good pizza!! Oh, and their bread sticks were lip smacking garlic salty!! ❤️

Nice atmosphere. Very small selection of craft beers at a very fair price. The pizza cheese is excellent, however the crust is too thin and lacks any char, which I expect to find on a wood fired pizza. RESPONSE TO OWNER: from your previous responses, I gather that you preferred constructive criticism. However, if the way you have cooked pizzas has worked for 28 years as you say, best of luck to you and you've lost a customer based on your ARROGANT response.

Stopped here for lunch while in town based on a recommendation and really enjoyed the lunch. The restaurant was very clean and modern with nice decor (see pictures), the workers were all very friendly and the place was quite lively. I ordered the grilled chicken pizza (see picture) and really liked the seasoning, crust and overall flavor. Unfortunately, I didn't save room for gelato after the pizza...so will save that for the next visit.
