    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.

    Where's the chicken?

    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

    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.

    So over cooked even a knife wouldn't cut it

    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!

    When I want pizza, I order Palio's; usually the "The King" on the gluten free crust! They also have great baked wings.

The house Manhatten was delicious with subtle adjustments to the traditional recipe. The Arancina Tradizionale is a fried ball of tasty saffron rice, stuffed with Bolognese and peas. Its a great appetizer with lots of subtle flavors. As an entree I had the Cacio E Pepe, the famous pasta prepared in a wheel of pecorino cheese and covered in fresh ground black pepper. The pasta was perfectly al dente, the cheese was creamy and mild, and the pepper nicely balanced the richness with a mild spice. I ordered shrimp on the side and it was well seasoned and nicely charred. My wife had the geilled salmon and loved it. We didn't really have room for dessert, but since everything else was so good, we couldn't resist trying the Tiramisu and Strawberry panna cotta. We couldn't have been happier with our choice.

The pasta was cooked right and the sauce not super over powering. We will definitely be back to try other dishes. My only complaint was that seating is a little cramped, and everyone including the restaurant staff had to maneuver around chairs, etc. but other than that we really enjoyed our visit.

However, when he went to the place and ordered the pizza, he realized this wasn't the place he remembered! I am SO glad he got the place wrong! This is probably my new go-to pizza place!!! The pizza was DELICIOUS! We ordered traditional types, but I got a small Chicken Florentine (with tomatoes added) for myself and LOVED it! The prices were very reasonable, also. We will be back for sure!!!

Now to the food... All of the ingredients are fresh and pies are of course made to order. From the crust to the sauce all made in house. There are some really unique flavor profiles which makes them stand outside of the rest. I look forward to trying other delicious items on the menu. This is what I had: Chicken and pineapple: 10/10 signature classic pie. The grilled chicken flavor goes well with the sweet and citrus flavor of the pineapple all finished well with the pizza sauce. Crazy Rodeo: 10/10 all ingredients all play well together and create a crazy rodeo party in the mouth. The meatiness of the ingredients really shine through. I could not taste the honey. I probably should have left the olives off to take in the flavors of the pizza. It was still outstanding and one I would definitely order again. Garlic cheese sticks: 10/10 cheesy, gooey, and good. Cinnabon bread: 10/10 they did not skimp on the cinnamon and brown sugar. The glaze is gooey and delicately sweet. Bread pillowy.

For seventeen years, I have been the self-appointed Sultan of Slices, driving my son to every reputable pizza joint in the area and essentially telling him what "good" tasted like.  It was a hard job, but somebody had to do it, may as well be his Dad right? But apparently, the student has become the master. My son hit up Jet's Pizza in McKinney yesterday and came home claiming he'd had "the best pizza of his life." Now, at 17, his opinions are legally his own, but as the man who funded his palate for nearly two decades, I had to put this bold claim to the test. If he was wrong, I'd have to revoke his "pizza-picking privileges" indefinitely. I walked in and ordered the Super Special: a heavy-duty combination of pizza sauce, premium mozzarella, pepperoni, ham, mushrooms, onions, and green peppers. The Verdict: I hate to admit it, mostly because it means my son is actually growing up and making sound life choices, but the kid was right. The crust had that perfect crisp-yet-airy texture that makes you forget about your fitness goals entirely. The toppings were delicious, the cheese didn't mess around, and the combination of ham and pepperoni on the Super Special provided a salt-to-sauce ratio that is frankly dangerous for anyone with a lack of self-control. It was very, very good. In fact, it was "I'm-not-even-mad-that-my-teenager-is-smarter-than-me" good.  I may have to get this kid a YELP account!! To Jet's Pizza, thanks for the great meal. To my son: You get to keep your driver's license... for now. But don't get cocky; I'm still the lead judge on burger places.

We didn't realize until we were ordering that they do a BOGO half off deal on entrees every Tuesday, as long as everyone orders an entree. As a result we definitely had too much food on the table but it was nice for our party of 7 to try a bunch of different things! I didn't have time to take pictures of it all, but we started with the bruschetta and the sautéed mushrooms. Bruschetta came out hot and great as usual, but the mushrooms were a bit salty. The complementary salads were nice and light and our servers were great at refilling waters and bringing out more free bread throughout the night. For our entrees, we ordered the creamy lemon shrimp pasta with spaghetti, the eggplant parm with fettuccine, the lasagna bolognese, the shrimp spezia, the tortellini bolognese (one of the specials that day), and the dolce e salato & cesarini pizzas. My favorite items of the night were the dolce e salato pizza (the sweet and savory combo was excellent and the crust was light and fluffy) and the shrimp dishes - the shrimp was cooked very well. I'm not a big red sauce person but the bologneses were also pretty good. The long noodles were a little mushy in all the sauce but the tortellini was not bad. Portion sizes were huge so we took three boxes of leftovers home! And one of the ladies at the host stand helped us take some nice group pictures outside the restaurant after our meal. For a solid local red sauce joint that will fill you up and then some, look no further!
