First of all, the food here is insanely good!! The best pizza around, and some incredible salads. We have also had their pasta which is delicious! We used to have a regular server, Colin, who was the absolute best around!! We were definitely spoiled by him. We haven't had great service since he left, which is why this is only 4 stars. They seem really busy and flustered, or very impersonal. It's in a great location with garage doors for easy indoor & outdoor seating. We will definitely keep coming back, and hope that they are able to get some more help :)

I've had pizza from many of Yelps Top 100 pizza places to try for 2024, so I'd like to think I know something about pizza. Would HIGHLY recommend the prosciutto and arugula pizza. This pizza is some of the best I've had. The 16" crust would/could/should be a top 100 pizza. I'm sure any of their pizzas in this size would be awesome! The crust was not the same for the 12", so please make sure to order the 16". Papa Pauls, 16" inch pizzas or bust.

I've been to Papa Paul's probably 100 times now :). We like what we like and we always come back for more. Recently I ordered the Burrata Glaze.... And I'm so sad I hadn't discovered this earlier because *drool* it is soooooo good. Perfect appetizer for sharing. The baked burrata and tomatoes with the perfect pieces of bread and topped with balsamic glaze. I could eat the entire thing alone. My favorite entrees are the vodka penne (with chicken) and also love the chicken piccata. My most favorite thing of all is the tiramisu which I feel like is the best tiramisu in town! I guess it's safe to say I love the beginning and end of my dinners at Papa Paul's the best.

I'm a fan! Pizza was excellent. We got the Brooklyn and the thin crust was perfectly crunchy. I also tried the Cold Cut Combo sandwich which was very good, in particular the jalapeno mayo, which I was originally skeptical. We went during a busy lunch hour, but the staff were on point with excellent service. Cheers! RS

I would give this a five except we waited over an hour for a table of six. Very busy night at Papa's. I will say once seated the service was excellent. Very quick to order and the servers were very nice. We had pre decided our order prior to being seated so things went quick. We ordered the avacado salads first. Excellent, fresh and tangy dressing. Lots of veggies and the portions were generous enough to share three ways. We ordered the Brooklyn and the Margarita pizza. Both came pretty quickly out of the oven. Nice and hot! We typically rate pizza on a number of characteristics. First the flavors. Excellent! A 9+. Second, the flop. Not so great. Very soft middle with not a lot of char on the bottom. Both pizzas needed a tad more time in the Brick Oven. Serving size, large was a good size. Two pizzas and we had slices to take home. Will come again when less busy. Be prepared it is very loud.

Quick, great food. Atmosphere is extremely inviting but also intimate. A low section of draft beer but the cocktails make up for it. Service is fast and friendly. We usually always give 20% tip here. 4 stars only because they are on the pricer side for Italian food.

Great food, great service snd beautiful restaurant. Not too small and not too big. The staff were absolutely lovely and very attentive. Food was nice and flavorful and it was well priced. Nice wine list and great lunch menu. It was nice to see a lunch menu on a Sunday. A lot of places don't really do that. I'll definitely be returning and definitely recommend.

First visit: Ordered pick up late at night after an event. Wanted something fast and filling so opt'd for the Linguine alla Checca. From how basic the dish was, I was fascinated with the flavor. Told myself to come back Second visit: Stopped in with my coworker so I could try their pizza this time around. Had to get the Prosciutto & Arugula. They said the order was only going to be 10 minutes since there were no other pizzas in line but it took about 30 on my watch. Pizza came out good however the prosciutto was real chewy. Hope to see more items added to the menu next time around.

This restaurant is conveniently located near Wigwam off Litchfield road in a beautiful section of the city. The atmosphere feels old world and family oriented. The food is unique for the area and offers farm to table type options. We had a party of 8 but they take reservations. The staff were all friendly and the dinner and drinks came out quickly.
