Unfortunately, after years of patronage and loyalty, and overlooking numerous poor customer service experiences on their end... I am finally writing a negative review. The last straw is what I will start with. Two days ago I called in an order for a party we were throwing a day in advance. I ordered 6 large pizzas to be delivered at 3:45 pm the next day and PAID IN ADVANCE including tip over the phone. Day of the part pizzas were no where in sight. I called and spoke with a girl who answered who was quick to say it was likely the Fairview location and they had not made any pizzas for us. Quick to write me off, could've cared less. I explained we paid in advance, etc etc. It clearly meant nothing to her. Zero acknowledgement, zero apology. Our party went without food needless to say. Never a manager on site, never a call back from the "owner". Multiple other times where a mistake was made on their end, no big deal right? Well it shouldn't be... a simple gesture on their end to remake a pizza the way it was ordered is all it would've taken. But everything here gets blown out of proportion with workers bursting into tears over simple matters of a pizza coming out differently than it was ordered. Spare yourself the drama. Order Pizza Hut or anywhere else. After years of pushing through this drama and poor customer service because we do like their pizza when it's made properly. I've officially given up. The owner doesn't even care. And I have no idea if we were even issued a refund for the 6 pizzas we never received. read more

This Palio's is 1 of the few locations that offer a vegan calzone, so we opted to give it a try even though it was a good 20mins away from us. The calzone was made to order, fresh, hot, and tasted pretty good. I can't comment on their regular pizza (though the Palio's I've visited in the past weren't remarkable). read more

Repeat customer for more than a decade: we enjoy their unique menu and enjoy the Hawaiian Sunrise, but I'll admit we get the XL pizza and I have trouble not eating half the pizza on the day we order it. read more

Loved the quiet atmosphere and the staff was friendly coming in. Laid back with selecting your own table and BYOB to make it feel more homey. I will say that tables were left dirty with previous party's dishes for the entire time we were there. If it wasn't busy or people weren't waiting for tables, then they stayed dirty. This didn't bother us as much because it was a quiet Saturday night - but if you're big on not seeing plates on other tables, then it may not leave you with a good impression from the start. Food came out quick, hot and delicious! We got the Ralphie and the Maria's BBQ and both were fantastic. This style pizza is more topping forward and less crust. read more

Pizza is pretty awesome here, but the service makes me sad. I have only dined in about 5 times, and each time, the staff look like they hate their lives. Never received a smile, and they request that you tip up front? I thought the purpose of a tip was for the quality of service... which can only be determined AFTER the meal. If you don't tip up front, the middle eastern woman completely ignores you. I couldn't help but laugh when my dinner partner asked for plates when our pizza was dropped off at the table without them, and as she's still walking away goes "They are over there" and continues to walk off. I hope the employee finds peace somewhere, but it looks like it's not behind the counter of a pizza place. I'll just order delivery from now on. read more

The pizza I ordered was terrible so I ate the dinner salad and canolli. They were both good, but I got food poisoning from something. My roommate ate the rest of my pizza and was fine, so I'm guessing it was the salad. I was soooo sick! It was my first and last time eating here. read more

Food is amazing, service is great, prices are very fair!! I would highly recommend Palios in Allen.

I love Palio's pizza, but I ordered a chicken club for a change and was sorely disappointed. There was barely any chicken on the sandwich. I expected more from Palio's read more

Love their Hawaiian pizza!! One of our favorites!! We cycle through different pizza places - this is definitely back in our rotation of favorites!! read more

We ate here for the first time in years. The owner here is such a kind person! When I asked if they had hot tea, he said that they did not serve it but would make me some he had if I wanted it. So nice!! They also have great tasting gluten free and vegan/vegetarian options. Unique toppings are available, like this cashew, basil, jalapeño and Roma tomato pizza, which was delicious! The owner also informed me that this location will soon be adding non-dairy cheese as well as gluten free spaghetti to their menu! Great service from kind people. read more

This place is very delicious the customer service was phenomenal Yasmeen and the Blonde were very good and nice workers and made sure i was very well taken care of I recommend this place very much Thank You Palio's read more

Did Palio's change their pizza crust? Usually I really like the crust which was thin and crispy but the crust on the pizza I had today was more like cardboard. The toppings were great but the crust ruined it for me. I might try them again. Hoping they go back to the thin and crispy crust. read more

i tried palios pizza recently, the taste was too bad with cratch and topping. i do not recommend these palces. there is no highgen in the store. read more

This is our go to pizza SERVICE. Great pizza and fantastic delivery that is reliable and fast. The pizza is always tasty and fresh.

Worst pizza ever. Thin crust, tough, disgusting I'll never come back again. Don't believe the reviews on google.

My party of 5 and I went here for a dinner. Food took 20+ minutes to come out, and not only was my blackened chicken Alfredo not blackened at ALL (resembled more of a fried chicken), one of my friends' blackened shrimp came out to be raw. Rubbery and blue. The workers are nice, and you can tell they try their best. The cook needs an immediate replacement; I could cook our meal(s) better. read more

Excellent service, kind staff, delicious food!! We got the cheese bread, cheese sticks, lasagna, chicken fettuccine Alfredo and a meat and cheese deluxe pizza!! Y'all, so good!!! read more

Last time here! Not sure what happened to the great, friendly staff and wonderful pizza. Pizza is over cooked and the food server dropped the marinara sauce on the ground then tried to serve it to us. When I told her no, she got visibly mad. Way to many places to eat out there to come to Palio's on Stacy Road As we were leaving, they stopped our car in the parking lot to give us a free pizza replacement. We did not accept... it was that bad of an experience! read more

We always love Palio's. We used to go to the West Plano branch. My son loves their pizza and he's kind of a pizza connoisseur. I love that they have non-dairy cheese options and other types of crust. I also like their penne pasta. I'm glad everywhere we move there seems to be one nearby. One more proof I'm making good choices as a parent ! read more

First visit and worst food I have ever had. First of all, she kept me waiting forever until all others left the store including bunch of people came after me. Greek gyro soft bread is totally over burn, not even eatable. Garlic cheese bread is cold when she passed to me. She didn't deserve the tip, horrible experience, would definitely not recommend or go back at all. All good review is misleading. read more

Watched employees remove their masks multiple times while making food--very unprofessional during a pandemic. Before I noticed it, I had a to-go order (lunch portion pepperoni pizza) with my group, which they forgot about. When asked if they could make the to-go order (I have an allergy and can't even eat the pizza but my husband could), a young woman brought it out on a pan and not in a box, to which she rolled her eyes at me when I asked if she could just put it into a to-go box. It seemed like a minor request. Ultimately, I made the decision to not give my husband the pizza because of lack of COVID-safety protocols demonstrated by this restaurant. read more

Always a good experience. I have never ordered a pizza there; only calzone. And they're really great! Fast service. (BYOB; no liquor or beer served) Recommend. mb read more

We haven't ordered from Palio's in quite awhile, but since the last time the quality has gone down quite a bit. The pizza is just alright (lacks some flavor), but on three different slices of the Cade & Blake I bit into something hard. Three. Different. Slices. I'm assuming it was a part of the artichoke stem, but I'm not in the business of wanting to bite into something hard when I'm eating pizza. Is it too much to ask that the person making the pizza would notice stems in the toppings? We probably won't be back to this location, which sucks because we live right across the street. If you're looking for good pizza, try Marco's or Crazy Tomato OR Italia Express inside the food court at the Stacy Outlet Mall (trust me). read more

More like 3.5 It's decent pizza. Not great or special but I'd say above average. BYOB with no corking fee, which is always appreciated. I like that the dinnerware is all self-serve, and that they have both white and red wine glasses. Service is generally good, but was a little disappointed this time when I saw that they didn't put the extra cheese that I ordered on my pizza. They have a Groupon for it right now which gives 40% savings. read more

Palio's is a favorite amongst my fam. We love the convenience of it because it's easy to call-in your order or place an order online and pick it up 10 minutes down the street. Not sure if the other locations are like this, but if you buy one pizza you get the second one at a lower price. Our family of 5 full grown adults always get 2 XL pizzas (1st one priced at $19 and 2nd one priced at $12) and it's enough to feed all of us. They have their original crust which we always stick with because if we're eating pizza - we're not looking to be healthy - but they have whole-wheat and gluten-free options. I'm a fan of everything I've tried so far. The Classic and the Cade and Blake Pesto are my top two currently but I have yet to try the whole menu. Love the thinness of the crust. I'm usually not a big fan of chicken on pizza but Palio's chicken is tender and cooked well. It's easier to stick to their gourmet pizzas rather than build our own because they did a pretty solid job of finding the perfect combinations of toppings, cheeses and sauces. They always get our order correctly here and they are plenty friendly so I'm sad to see some below average reviews. read more

Now I don't expect much from a gluten free crust {wife is celiac} but to pay $28 for a large King pizza with little toppings and hardly any sauce with an overcooked crust is plain outrageous. A store bought frozen large pizza at half the price would be better. read more

We ordered three large pizzas to go. While the chicken BBQ was our favorite, the options seem limited. Crust was ok. Toppings were ok. Just ok overall. read more

This has been our favorite pizza place for several years, but it's been going downhill over the past year or more. With the constant employee turnover, our orders are always messed up. Pizza isn't ready or has been sitting on top of the oven for 10 minutes and the employees have no idea it's there. Tonight, we didn't receive the salad we were charged for and the usual tasty pizza was mediocre. I'm truly disappointed, because there is one girl there who knows what to do but she's overwhelmed. Unfortunately, we'll be looking for another pizza place going forward. read more

This was our first time trying this place. We live close by and within the delivery area, so we thought we would give it a try. We were so disappointed because I really wanted a new "go to" little Italian place. My Husband ordered the baked wings, which were literally burnt to a crisp, not baked, to the point of being inedible! The cheese bread was full of oil and nothing more than bread with cheddar cheese on it. Not flavorful at all. My Daughter ordered the Mac and cheese which was overlooked and dry in spots. We won't be ordering from here again. So disappointed. read more

I ordered two custom gluten free vegan pizzas with the awesome assistance of Jade. A1, top notch service, delicious pizza. My pies were ready in less than 10min. Definitely coming back whenever I'm in the area! read more

Both specialty pizzas we ordered last night were great. It was our first time ordering and eating here. The pizza was ready for pick up as stated when we ordered them. Both tasted great. We will be sure to come back again. read more

I'll start with the fact that the cheese bread is AMAZING and I would continue to just keep coming here for that alone...but the past two weeks--especially tonight-- have yielded food that is definitely not fresh (I'm looking at you very old Gyro sandwich) and leave much to the very expensive $$$ imagination. Save yourself some money and just order dominos or little Caesars. At least you'll know they're constantly turning over fresh ingredients instead of trying to sell you week old garbage at a premium price $$!!! read more

Ordered a pizza to pickup. Staff was different, took order differently. Pizza wasn't as good - thin, tough crust. Has this place changed hands? read more

This was a gem of a restaurant! I'm so glad my family stumbled on this place for mother's day. In all of our's opinions, we thought the food (we ordered 2 pastas, salad, pizza, and dessert) was really good and worth the price. The only downside is there is no waiting service, so you just need to grab anything extra you need yourself (which also means you don't have to wait on your server). We are DEFINITELY coming back here again. read more

One of favorite pizza places. Always good with a Groupon coupon. Split a salad and eat 1/2 of pizza. Great leftovers. read more

The food was alright until I bit down on metal. It was a wiry piece of metal about as thick as a sewing needle but only about a half inch long. Hopefully I didn't swallow any other pieces of it before discovering this one! Needless to say, we won't be back. read more

Delivery review. Love Palios. Luckily this was not my 1st time having Palios, or else I would have never tried this place again. I will never order from this location again the food is prepared lazily. The baked pasta arribiata is advertised as a spicy marinara with alfredo sauce. There was no sauce in this pasta. No marinara or alfredo. If I hadnt had this dish before I would've thought it was a bad pasta dish. The wings were eh. The dry rub is not my favorite. Spices are not balanced and the skin was a soft slimy let down. We browned/crisped them up in the broiler, but just didnt like the rub $40 down the drain for a cheesy stick dinner which were so so read more

I love their pizza here. My favourite is the Hawaiian sunrise. Who would have thought to add cashews & cranberries to the hawaiian pizza? They got it just right! The crunch from the nuts, the little tang from the cranberries are just the right combination with pineapple and bacon. Order it on thin crust and it's the perfect combo! We also tried their "Scorcher pizza" which is not on the menu. It was on their specials board. They aptly named it so right! Scorching I mean! Those jalapeños were twirling my insides for a minute. Had to gulp down a huge glass of water! Worth the " adventure" if you're for it. Ordered the Shrimp fettunice with Alfredo sauce. DO NOT COME HERE FOR PASTA! It taste like frozen meal you get at the store. Apparently their sauces are all pre-cooked. It came out lukewarm & we had to ask for it to be microwaved! Not good. Come here for the pizza, it's very good. Lots of varieties to choose from or make your own. It's order yourself at the counter, sit yourself down, get your own drinks, cutlery & silverware kind of cafe. (If you come here at night, it's easily missed. Although it's on east Stacy rd, it's past the busy part of Macy's or jcpenneys. It's further east, next to the 7-11 gas station. ) read more

We had a groupon, and for the groupon deal...it was a decent value for the pizza. The pepperoni and mushroom pizza wasn't memorable in either a good or bad way. There are other pizza places I'd rather go to. read more

Tasty pizzas, but I placed an order for delivery for a work meeting and we had asked them to ensure they were there by 1145 and they were about 20-25min late, and some items were only lukewarm. However, all of that aside the pizza had great flavor and the Greek bread was delicious. I think I'll give them another try and see what it's like in one of their cafes. read more
