Well, it seems Paco's has possibly started a decline. We really loved their pizza a few years ago but tonight was so disappointing! The pizza was just not good. It took an hour to be delivered, was ice cold when it arrived but also, there was not much cheese on it. The sauce was very meh as well. Maybe it was an off night? Either way, we did not enjoy it, not sure we will order again. Think we'll stick to Romeo's. read more

This used to be good but has gone down hill quick. Had to add extra cheese just to get it where it should be and also ordered pepp/ sausage and there was barely any toppings on there at all! Literally 2 pepp and sausage per slice. That's unacceptable for a $28 pie. I'm done with this place. read more

2 pepperoni slices and a drink for 6 bucks and some change. This is really good pizza. NY style large slices ready in a jiffy. I've only been to a handful of NY pizza places in NYC and Paco's did a great job with the vibes. When you walk in, it's a counter, pizza and a few standing options to eat. Definitely NYC vibes. Thanks for the great pizza and quick lunch! read more

Pizzas are now bland . Not sure what happened but not worth it anymore sadly which is too bad because their pepperoni used to be great.

II got their chicken, bacon, ranch pizza and two huge Strombolis. I strongly suggest it to anyone craving pizza late at night.

Good pizza at this new shop in Wake Forest. This is the 3rd iteration of a pizza place at this former Domino's location. The conveyor belt oven is gone, replaced with a real pizza oven! Pizza freshly tossed NY-style. Tried a veggie pie. Freshly sliced mushrooms, black olives, green pepper and onions. Well proportioned cheese/sauce ratio. Crust cooked just right - a nice crunch on the bottom, moist and chewy on the top. It took about 15 minutes longer than the 30 minutes promised. The place is busy (a good thing) and they're just getting started, so I'm sure prediction will get better as time goes on. The team offered me a free dessert for the extended wait - a nice touch which shows me they're paying attention. Good pizza plus paying attention - you bet I'll be back. read more

Our first time trying this spot out due to a recommendation from a friend based off their food pics -- Ordered: large pepperoni & sausage pizza; lobster ravioli Pro: pizza dough was nice and chewy with crunchy crust - good ny style type of pizza Cons: the lobster ravioli was not great....and then we were kind of let down that they didn't tell us there's curbside service so we got out to wait on our food while another car got their food served by pulling up to the side of their restaurant Maybe we will try other other pizza items next time read more

We ordered a calzone and Stromboli. They were both great. I'd certainly eat again and try something else.

I love their garlic knot pizza!!!!!! It's the best!! I've been meaning to try other things but I like their garlic knot pizza so much it's hard to venture away from it read more

Paco's is strictly pickup or delivery. No tables to eat at. We ordered for pickup via grub hub and only had a 5 min wait once i arrived. I'm a born and bred New Yorker and a cheese pizza purist. I can say it was right up there with my favorites in the area. A bit pricier than others and had to reheat as it's not that close to home but would order again. read more

Paco's Pizza - Cheese pie - Pizza Near Me - Wake Forest, North Carolina

Passed by this place like a million times thinking it was one of "those" Hungry Howies/Marcos pizza places that all serve the same cheapskate pizza that children don't mind. Pleasantly surprised to find out that it's actually a decent "NY style" pizza place that isn't too bad. Compared to the other similar places in the area, it's as good as or better. Price-wise? Not great, but again... it's better. read more

This was such a great place for pizza. We order from here several times. Decided to try out a few other places and then coming back here. This time around, the pizza was such a disappointment. Hardly any cheese. Green pepper was so undercooked. Oddly the pineapple was not sweet and quite flavorless. Pizza was ready within the time given. Service was fast. But I don't think we will be back... read more

Well my wife talked me into ordering from this place again. The food here is bland and horrible. The toppings to sauce to cheese ratio is way off and it's like the pizza tastes old. Like it's sitting in the cooler pre made and they dress it to order. Very disappointing for the price and Pizza Hut is better than this place. If she asks me again... she's on her own... I will never eat another bite from this place. Piss poor quality. read more

Excellent pizza and great service. Would highly recommend! It was ready when I got there and the people were very friendly.

I'll preface this by saying I get their regular NY style pizza occasionally and it's a good pie and I'll definitely go back--I like the place overall and I didn't come here to leave a bad review (hence the 4 stars). That said.... I tried the Sicilian tonight. I knew it was a gamble because most places around here that identify as "NY Style" cook their Sicilians the same way they cook their Neapolitan pizza (and probably with the same dough) and it ends up being charred and dry on the bottom. To Paco's credit, their Sicilian crust was better than most. Sauce was solid (not over-seasoned) and cheese was generous, which I appreciate on a Sicilian. The rest of the crust was a little dense and could probably benefit from a higher gluten flour, but overall, it was fine. What shocked me was the stunning lack of attention to detail. First of all, the pie is advertised as a 16" Sicilian. What I got was 14.5" x 14.5". I'm not going to accuse anyone of being intentionally shady, but that's a pretty big oversight if you're accidentally baking your pies in a pan that's 45.75 square inches smaller than advertised. Secondly, an actual 16 x 16 pie can easily be cut into 16 decent size pieces. I don't know if it was because the pie was smaller than advertised, but whoever cut the pie made the decision to cut it into 12 pieces, 4 columns and 3 rows. The pizza order was for half cheese and half onion/garlic, and the way the pizza was cut, I ended up with 4 slices of cheese, 4 slices of onion/garlic, and then 4 larger slices in the middle that were half cheese, half onion and garlic. Obviously if you're feeding a group with differing tastes, this is a problem. The only real solution is to cut those slices in half, so you've basically got some pizza sliders... While the best solution is obviously to provide an actual 16" pie that can be cut into 16 good size pieces to idiot-proof the slicing process, this could also have been solved if the person cutting the pizza just rotated it 90 degrees in either direction before cutting. Seriously, a half second's worth of thought would have produced an exponentially less disappointing result. Look, I like the pizza, I'll be back, and I'm sure you're busy and all, but if you want customers to return, attention to details like this matter. read more

Ordered 3 large pies and 2 orders of knots for kids birthday party. Pizzas we ordered were 1 cheese, 1 pepperoni and 1 sausage. First, the pizza is good, the sauce could have deeper flavors. The knots were spot on and very good. Three biggest knock for us, the sausage was lacking any flavor at all. Several people mentioned that about the sausage. On the flip slide, several people said the pepperoni was very good. Would order from them again. Not the best, but very good. read more

Finally revisited Paco's and earned a few more stars. They seamed to iron out the operational problems - took my order, gave a reasonably accurate estimate on when it would be ready... basic stuff but important for a pizza joint and happy to report a big improvement. On quality, it's my favorite pizza if WF but that's a personal preference. I like the thin northeast style and they do the best pizza on that end (Bella Italia an Il Bacio are runners up and decent as well) I'm going on a bit and it's because I crushed them earlier. Happy to report a better experience. PS: saving that last star to make sure it wasn't a fluke read more

The pizza is amazing so are the wings. The service is great, they offer in house delivery so they are not all the hidden fees from the delivery services companies. read more

I am from New Jersey and this pizza is just like the pizza I use to eat in New York. Its a family owned business, Paco is the father, his wife work there always with a smile and his Son's. Great location, the atmosphere is so welcoming. This is my favorite pizza in Wake Forest and Raleigh. I give them 5 plus stars. read more

I can't recommend Pacos pizza enough!! We order from them regularly and have never had an error in our order. Our food always is hot fresh and delicious when arrived. It always comes in a very timely manner. Usually within 30 minutes. People complaining about New York style pizza in North Carolina always make me giggle because they're bound and determined to compare the two, In order for anyone to get their killer NY pizza experience I suggest they take the 12 hour hike up north and stop leaving reviews on small local businesses. It's like comparing Panda King takeout to the food in Hong Kong, China. Sorry for the rant , but with that said the pizza, calzones and Strombolis are very delicious!! Secondly the wings are to die for. Period! The Carolina barbecue wings are out of this world. The staff is always friendly. We've only ever ordered delivery and whether it's received through an app delivery service or the restaurant itself delivery person. It always comes in a very timely manner even during busy Friday-Saturday night dinner rush. read more

Service was friendly and placing the order online was easy and gave a delivery pickup time. I was looking forward to another pizza option in the area but the food was disappointing. I've never had garlic bread without garlic before. How did they forget that? The white pizza seemed to lack the ricotta and Parmesan cheeses. This did have garlic on it. The margherita was just bad, not much cheese or evenly distributed. I'm not sure if it was an off day but I won't be going back. read more

Being new to the area, we're trying all the pizza spots to find "our" takeout spot. I didn't expect Pacos to be it but I am so pleasantly surprised. The garlic knots pizza is like pizza and an app on one. The drive through pick up line makes this the perfect place for takeout. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Their sauce is what makes the pizza so order an extra side of it! read more

So delicious!! We ordered take out and got spinach pizza, chicken parm and garlic knots. All was 10/10. The dough was perfect, chicken parm was tender. The garlic knots weren't dry, they had plenty of garlic. Definitely will order here again. read more

When they first took over from Pizza Corner, they were a lot better. Honestly, if you have the courage to charge $3 for a topping on your pizza pie It better be New Jersey, New York quality! This is not!!! That is absolutely absurd. This is a .50 topping pizzeria. Step your game up,or lower your prices. The pizza is halfway decent. Don't get me wrong, but charging $3 per topping, I will never go there. Papa John's super sucks but you can get a lot of toppings on a 18-in pie for $18 read more

I was in to pick up a door dash and the food looked amazing so I wanted to order two slices and a drink the young man was kind and helpful then a lady with gold glasses comes from of the floor literally and says it's gonna be 45 minutes I looked at the young man and said I thought you said to warm it up would be five minutes she says well I said it's gonna be 45 if you want it or not The young man walked away and I told him honey it will be be okay I wouldn't dare eat from a place with service like this. And canceled the DoorDash I was picking up and left They must do better. read more

The pizza was good, quality ingredients and great stringy cheese. I can't wait to try their white pizza but this time we ordered meat lovers. The not so good: The garlic knots had zero flavor and interest just greasy balls of dough. The chicken fingers also were nothing special, almost tasted like reheated. read more

Good pizza, better than average but they're a little light on the toppings and the pizza is very light as well. I literally thought that they forgot to put the pizza in the box when they handed it to me it was so light. I tried a meatball sandwich and some chicken wings as well, the sandwich was average I would say and the wings were very small and over cooked. The staff is very friendly and seemed to sincerely appreciate the business. It's a small business and very clean inside. They had some lunch specials posted that were not listed on their website so I snapped a picture for you guys. Enjoy! read more

Average NY style pizza. Everyone has has this kind of pizza before. Staff was nice, few customers came in and out while I was picking up my pizza. Nothing bad, nothing great just average. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Be prepared to wait if you order online. My order confirmation said pick up at 5:40 (35 minutes after ordering) here it is 6:36 and I'm finally handed my food. First time trying this newer place and probably my last. I'll update with another review if it was worth the wait. I may have been able to go to Italy get the ingredients, bring them back home and bake my pizza faster then this place. Total time 1hour and 26 minutes to cook a pizza, a calzone, and garlic knots read more

Definitely good NY style pizza. Will be getting again real soon. Reminded me of back home in NY

Twice in a row I've received the wrong pizza. I've ordered pepperoni pizza and received plain cheese pizzas.
