Formerly called Pinocchio's, this place appears to have quite a following. Briskly busy on a Wednesday night, we still had quick service of our caprese salad and pizza. It was really tasty, the pizza having a crispy crust with a chewy edge. Nice salad, and finished with pistachio and dark chocolate gelato. Definitely will be back, as this was some of the best thin crust (wood fired) pizza I've had in the QC. read more

Full disclosure: the owner is a friend of the family Pagalo's (formerly Pinocchio's) has been open for years, but I'd never been. It's a usual lunch stop for my mom and grandma. We went in for lunch and I got the special - a 7" wood-fired pizza + soup (or could've gotten salad or another combination of the three) and I think it was something crazy like $6 or $7. And. It. Was. Great. The chicken noodle soup had a thicker, really delicious broth, with big chunks of vegetables and chicken. I got the basil and tomato pizza. It was so good! Big pieces of tomato, fresh basil shredded on top, mozzarella, garlic, red onion. And the crust! Nice and crisp on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. I also tried my mom's pizza - the sausage. Really well spiced - 'zesty' comes to mind. I don't think the photos on Yelp do Pagalo's pizza justice. Neither of our pizzas were so overloaded with cheese (but I guess some people love just cheese!) and mine was really light. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm visiting my family. read more

My first pizza from here.... I ordered the Margarita Pizza. I was looking forward to a simple fresh pizza like u would find in Italy. So disappointed. I would have been more pleased with a frozen Digiorno. Way too many (mushy) tomatoes along with way too much brownish basil. And trust me I LOVE TOMATOES AND BASIL! I was really looking for to a simple margarita pizza but I felt they were trying too hard in all the wrong ways. Sauce, mozzarella, light sprinkle of fresh basil, maybe some Italian seasoning and be done. I'll try Pagalo's again, but definitely not ordering the Margarita. Positive take- The atmosphere was nice, the service was great! read more

We walked in and sign said to seat yourself. So. We did. No wait staff greeted us after we had been sitting there for 20 minutes. Other people came in after us and were waited on. We walked out. We wondered if we were invisible read more

One would think pizza cooked in a wood fire oven would be crispy,crust was limp and wasn't that great. Still better then Harris

Went for supper got two pies and an app. Pizza was bland, chix was without seasoning. Nice crust, but the ingredients are blasé at best. Too bad, some interesting pies on the menu, but i don't think I'll have a chance to see. Many other proven places callin my name! Service not bad, no host so expect to float in and sit wherever you like. read more

Yuck. Putrid Pizza! Wood Fired, yes. Do they know how to cook a wood fired pizza? NO! We ordered the hawaiin (pineapple, ham). The canned pineapple on the pizza was good. The ham was not cooked, not good flavored. A thin layer of cheese was under the toppings, and not lightly browned or bubbly as it should be. No sauce was on the pizza, so we had to order a cup of marinara, which was tasty at all. The thin crust of this pizza was bland, no taste, no texture. Just plain and awful. Will never go back. read more

Great food and great service at Pagalo's! I got the BLT Wedge Salad. Out came a romaine lettuce boat filled with real bacon chunks, fresh diced tomatoes (I like my tomatoes cut small like that), and delicious creamy garlic parmesan dressing. My significant other got a large Sicilian pizza. He ate about 1/3 and took the rest in a to-go pizza box. He also had a bottle of Stella Artois. It was cold but not VERY cold so he should have gotten it served in a frosty mug instead of drinking it out of the bottle. We love the pizza here (and now have a salad favorite too) so we know we will be back. The waitress Jessica was very attentive and friendly. She checked on us just enough. We sat on the bar side at about 6:45 pm on a Sunday in April. Yummers. Oh and my s.o. also likes the free popcorn. read more

Came here on a recommendation from a friend and ordered a sausage and pepperoni pizza. Flavors were great and the toppings were loaded on a fabulous thin crust. It almost felt like an entire lasagna on a pizza slice. There were layers of meat and cheese, almost like a deep dish. I might be liked it more if it had a little less meat (a bit salty for me) but that's just me. read more

I was so excited to see Pagalos on grubhub for delivery! I was really craving some pizza and we ordered the meatball and sausage pizza it was delicious! Since Covid I have ordered it for pick up, and for delivery Grubhub. Before Covid My parents went in person weekly. The cooks are amazing they even make my mom pizza with her special cheese. The staff are always friendly and it feels like a big family when you go in person. I can not wait to dine in again soon. read more

Pagalos pizza is very good. Their gluten free pizza has a nice crust and flavor. Its a bit pricey but we always go back over and over. Love that it is in Milan. read more

This place is a joke. No customer service whatsoever. They will ignore you for 30 minutes after you sit down. I had to get up and ask what the problem was. Left before I told them how I really felt! Never going again. read more

I think this place has way more potential than actual results. With minor adjustments I think they can be dynamite. The taste of the crust is great, but it could use a bit more time in the oven to crisp up a little more. The sauce tasted very commercial, which is ok, but not outstanding. Good service, acceptable pies and a clean atmosphere make this place acceptable. It could be great with some tweeks. read more

Ate here for the first time last night. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The bread sticks were delicious pillows of dough and definitely house made. The Caesar salad was one of the best I've ever had - not dripping in dressing, crisp cold romaine and fresh shaved parmesan. The sausage and sun-dried tomato pizza was awesome. The gelato was a bit hard to eat but otherwise yummy. We will definitely be back and bring friends with us. read more

Nachos, mozzarella sticks, the Buffalo chicken pizza was amazing! Great service!!! Great bar, awesome atmosphere!

We came by for dinner after a long day at the baseball park before our 3 hour drive home. It was absolutely perfect. Quiet, quick, and most importantly, delicious. My 1/2 spinach salad was just the right size for a light dinner- dressing was fantastic. Breadsticks were perfect, soft on inside, and not over seasoned. My 11 had pizza, which he shared. All agreed it was delicious, especially the crust. Perfect cheese to sauce ratio. My husband enjoyed his Italian Beef and my 7 year old was happy to find PBJ on the menu. Boys ordered delicious gelato to go. This place is a true gem. read more

I think they might have the best pizza in the QC. Wise Guys is a close second. Thin crust but not cracker thin. Pricey but delicious

Wonderful seafood bisque, incredibly fast fresh delicious wood fire pizza and GELATO! Mmmm, what more do you need?

Heard this place was good from somebody from the NY area so I headed to check it out. Their lunch special is pretty decent at 6.50 for a small personal pizza, and either soup or salad. One can also get a sandwich if desired. My pizza was pretty good--the crust was nice and crispy, toppings were on par (chicken, mushrooms, parm cheese). The mandarin orange salad was also good and the poppy seed dressing was tasty, too. I would certainly recommend this place to anyone in the quad cities looking for excellent pizza. Prices were fair and quality was excellent. I believe they serve Pepsi and then there are many beers, wines and cocktails available as well. The services was nice. There is a parking lot. Accepts Visa & Mastercard. read more

Pagalo's in Milan, Il is not the place to go to have a cocktail after a stressful day. I went there on a Wednesday night with my girlfriend after working all day. We just wanted to relax and have a drink. Two minutes after waking into this establishment, I knew we made a bad choice, everyone there was drunk and the bartender was extremely distasteful. We asked to order a drink, but without even asking us what we wanted she told me I am not of age to drink and to "get the hell out". What is ironic about this is that my girlfriend and I are 23 years old. We will never step foot into this eyesore for Milan ever again. read more

We just happened to come upon this place without really knowing what to expect but wow! The wood fired pizza with its fresh tomato sauce and pieces of tomato, basil and garlic were absolutely spot on! Not your typical quad city pizza and a VERY welcome change. My new favorite pizza spot. Worth the drive from anywhere . Get your pizza on!! read more

I have pretty much nothing but good things to say about this place. The pizza is excellent in both the alfredo and regular pizza. The crust is perfectly cooked with great texture and flavor and the sauce and toppings are well made. The breadsticks are excellent with perfect crispness and flavor. The gelatos are also excellent having had comparable ones in San Francisco. The only complaint I have it that the menu has at least one item that they no longer serve (chocolate brownie cheesecake), though that small disappointment does not make the food or service any worse, and I plan to return and sample other items. read more

Yummmm chicken alfredo pizza, best hand made pizza around, they put love into there pizzas, you can tell they care....go for any of the brick fired oven pizzas, you wont be disapointed read more

We had the best bloody marys after the indian summer parade. Also enjoyed a sausage & mushroom pizza to see how they do with the basics! In a word: outstanding! Go for the food and be surprised by the ambiance. read more

Went to Pagallo's today for lunch ! What a surprise. Friend and I each got 7" personal pizza. Great pizza, great prices , great service. Best coffee too. I've updated this review to reflect today's experience as I'd stopped going because of a previous poor experience. Would DEFINITELY recommend. read more

First time there. Ordered the wood fired bbq chicken pizza and it was delicious! Atmosphere was nice and the waitress was very friendly. Would definitely go back! read more

I am a regular customer who orders from Pagalos at least twice a month. I ordered a, to go, pizza on Nov. 5th. It took a bit longer than usual to be ready but I didn't mind the wait too much. When it was ready, the pizza itself was less than the high quality pizzas I am accustomed to getting from them. I might add that Pagalos is the only place we order pizzas from and has been for years. I complained that the pizza's toppings we lacking and that they, on a medium size pizza, were as much as 1 1/2 inches away from the edge of the crust most of the way around. I was immediately told by one of the cooks that he had been making pizzas there for 20 years and that's the way they were supposed to be and I should have ordered it with extra toppings. I let him know that it was not up to the quality I usually get and I was displeased. He told me he had been warned about me (I have complained about the pizzas 2 times in the past but 99% of the time I have been happy with the pizzas and let them know). I let him know how often I come in and this pizzas did not meet the standard that I usually get. He said he didn't care how often I come in the pizza was made as it should be. He took a picture of it, I assume to send to his manager. I asked for my money back and left without the pizza. The events of yesterday have cost them the business of a regular customer who has been coming in for a number of years. read more

My husband and I love this place! We usually get the tex mex pizza, great combination of flavors. You can taste all the fresh ingredients. The breadsticks are to die for. If you like more authentic Italian style pizza then you'll love this place. read more

Eclectic menu! This place is great, they offer all kinds of gourmet pizzas: Thai chicken, Grecian artichoke, Barbecue chicken, Poma Sechi and Chicken Fajita to name a few. If that's not your flavor then you can start simple - they have one of the greatest Pepperoni pizza's in the Quad Cities. I took a minute to ask about their oven and was told that is an Earthstone wood-fired oven. It was imported from France and uses no electricity or gas, just seasoned logs. They also offer sandwiches, soups and salads but Pagalo's knows pizza. For all you lovers of local favorites such as Harris Pizza, Clint's, Frank's, etc, I agree those places are exceptional as well, but Pagalo's is special without being an imitation of those places. The only downfalls are parking and price. The lot is a little small and always near capacity but I have never had an issue with finding a spot. A large pepperoni is $20 a gourmet pizza such as a Garden Deluxe will run you $25.50 but I still say it's worth the price. read more

Best best best pizza!!! Their spaghetti is amazing...you can taste the fresh herbs in the sauce! Their carrot cake is amazing!!! Actual quality ingredients and food!! read more

Delicious pizza! Stoped in with a group of friends and we each ordered a pizza and then shared - Grecian, Tuscan, and BBQ chicken. All amazing! read more

Pizza is decent enough. Kinda pricey for what it is but better than chain pizza places. It gets 4 stars for it's Thursday special of 1 dollar bud light bottles. Can get smashed on the cheap and awesome people watching all the other drunks. read more

I really love this place. My fiancée went here the other night and we had the three cheese pizza served with marinara sauce (because this particular pizza does not come with sauce already on it) and that is why the next time we go, I will order a different pizza, but it was still delicious. I did not have any appetizers or dessert pizza so I cannot comment on any other food. I loved the cheese, the crust and the marinara sauce was pretty good. The restaurant is clean and the waitress was attentive and nice. Shortly after our arrival, the place filled up fast. read more

Called in for a pizza to go, mushroom and sausage. Picked it up and took it to my new favorite wine bar in Davenport; Cru. Pizza was tasty and filled with toppings. I will be back to eat in or carryout. read more

Great place to enjoy a meal in a quite environment. Pizzas are cooked a wood fired oven are especially good. The servers are friendly and efficient. read more

Had dinner there for the first time, good service but the pizza left a lot to be desired. We got a buffalo chicken pizza and the chicken was definitely of the frozen variety and was overall disgusting. The breadsticks were about the saltiest thing I've ever eaten. We asked for some Alfredo sauce which she brought out right away but was most certainly out of a jar, and I bet I could name the brand. The server was nice but hearing the cook complain right in front of customers didn't make us want to come back. Not good, we will not be back read more

I love their GF pizza and cheesecake. Service is good, food is good, prices are equal to what you would pay at a similar place. I've been four times this year and I will be back at least four more. read more

I love their woodfire pizzas - I haven't tried anything else on the menu, but the pizza is always good, and the atmosphere in the bar area is nice (the other room is a little too stuffy). read more
