Papa Giuseppe - This was supposed to be a buffalo chicken pizza and there's no buffalo sauce. The chicken was barely cooked . It was absolutely awful. - Desserts Near Me - Delray Beach, Florida

I've had food (mainly pizza) from Papa Giuseppe in the past and thought it was okay with better than average pizza. I want to like this casual restaurant as I often pass by it on my way home and prices are very reasonable, the staff is friendly and the informal dining room has a welcoming vibe. However on this visit for take-out, my food was just not edible. The low quality chicken was awful and seriously, food this bad should never be served. Never. I couldn't even cut the dry and tough chicken and I made the mistake of ordering two chicken dishes. The Chicken Alia Giuseppe was drowned in cheap oil yet still was dry and was so lousy that it had to be thrown out. I really want to like this place but the poor quality food is just too awful to consume. read more

Papa Giuseppe - Chicken Alia Giuseppe. As bad as it looks. - Desserts Near Me - Delray Beach, Florida

I d love to know WTF is going on in the kitchen of this place. Dinner started with Horrible garlic rolls (see pic), followed by italian wedding soup that can only be described as a total disgrace (tasted like canned progresso). To be fair my Chicken parm & my friend's shrimp parm were halfway decent. Chicken picatta was very meh. Pasta in my penne ala vodka was overcooked but by that point I wasnt surprised. Note - 2 stars is slightly on the generous side given covid etc blah blah... plus their placemats shoulda warned me to run away right from the start, so I have to shoulder some blame here. read more

I am never disappointed when I order or eat at Papa Giuseppe! The owners and staff are so friendly, the Service is very fast, and the food is yummy. The pizza is always just right, whether it's in house or delivery, always fresh. The sauce is delicious The crust is tasty and I sometimes order the meatballs or wings on the side. I typically have my wings well done and when I order they always get the order and the amount of crispiness on the wings just right. I have also ordered a couple chicken wraps in the past and they were notable as well. The ambience in the restaurant is comfortable and the bar is pretty cool. To go orders are super easy and I highly recommend communicating directly with the restaurant instead of going through Uber eats. Everybody needs a specific neighborhood pizza place that is their default. Papa Giuseppe is MY pizza place!! Also..... the cannolis are SOOO good!! read more

Great people. Been getting pizza from here for years. The smiles behind the counter and my warm welcome keep me coming back. Great sauce. Not NY style, but good and reliable. read more

Service is really terrific. Food is excellent with generous portions and very reasonable prices.

Love love love this restaurant Pizza is delicious. My favorite meals are Shrimp Parm, Eggplant Parm and Filet of Sole Francese, which is always fresh. Portions are plentiful and prices are fair. Wait staff is great. FYI their chocolate mousse cake is fabulous. read more

What an enjoyable and satisfying meal. This was true comfort food at its best. Service was friendly and efficient and the meal was great. I've seen complaints about the garlic rolls but can't understand that all. The bread was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and full of delicious garlic and olive oil. um.. the way they should be. Calamari was excellent. Lightly battered, not greasy and the calamari itself was very tender and not chewy in the slightest. I was impressed. I thought I'd not be able to eat anymore (a salad was included ..or soup) but as soon as my ziti arrived, my appetite started all over again. What a treat to have baked ziti plus eggplant that I love and plus meatballs (sliced up). It's a big dish so I'll be enjoying leftovers tomorrow. All the other people who were with me finished their dishes which says alot. Happy and full customers. We went early at 4pm and reserved an outside table that was ideal. It was filling up inside as well as outside by the time we left. Next time I'll want to try their pizza. Very glad we found this local place and will look forward to our next visit read more

Definitely awesome food, service and atmosphere. Many food, drink and desert options, all of which are excellent. You will not be disappointed. read more

We had dinner at Papa Giuseppe's last week and although the food was good, it left a bad taste in our mouths. We started with a nice salad for me and a bowl of pasta fagioli soup for my husband. We were served 5 rolls/knots (3 garlic and 2 plain) at that time as we requested "combo" on the choice. When our main dishes were served (shrimp parmigiana and spaghetti and chicken piccata and linguini) we asked for more rolls as we only had two left. Our waitress told us we could only have two more. WHAT?!?! When a restaurant gets cheap with dough, it's annoying. In a town where competition is great amongst so many great restaurants it's even more annoying. Don't look to save a penny and risk losing a customer. Furthermore it read more

Great pizza, great margaritas, great service everytime! I've tried their pizza, pasta, meatballs and calamari never a complaint. 10/10 read more

Excellent food and service and a family friendly atmosphere. The food is delicious and the price is reasonable.

1. The quality of the garlic rolls should be improved. Too much olive oil. We found that the oil was dripping off the rolls. 2. I was very disturbed by the plates being prematurely removed from the table. It made us feel pressured. Unless you see someone having difficulty managing their table with too many plates then the diners should not be disturbed. 3. The pizza was too runny. Although the crust was well done vegetables and the oils used were too runny in fluids. 4. Lastly, a waiter or waitress should not put their arms over the table when removing a plate. This is not a sanitary maneuver. read more

Pizza is always great! Their sauces are always the best too! I agree with everyone else's opinion of garlic rolls. Often over done. But their Caesar salad can't be beat!! No matter how you look at it, the place is WAY ahead of any other Italian place around!!! read more

Popped in here on a very busy Saturday evening and enjoyed a deliciously satisfying meal. The host was able to make room for the two of us (he was great) even though he had reservations on all the tables. Our waitress was lovely and prompt. The garlic rolls were awesome! We enjoyed the pasta fagioli soup and small garden salad, followed by our entrees of eggplant and chicken piccata. Perfectly delightful experience!!! This is a place frequented by many locals - you could hear the staff welcome the many folks they knew. read more

I read good reviews about Papa Giuseppe and I finally visited. Good decision I made . This will be the only pizzeria that I will be eating pizza for now on. We cannot find another local pizzeria that will make 1 white and 1 red sauce pizza personal pan pizza. Thin crust delicious pizza. I will return to dine during the week when they have a early dining special. Nice ambience too not to leave out the wonderful service. read more

Really good Food. Been there for lunch & dinner. Friendly & personable staff that are genuinly Human. Can't stand the corporate mentality in customer service cause it sounds forced and not genuine. Enjoyed the place & the people. read more

Food is mediocre at best. Baked clams were cold, obviously cooked ahead of time and left out. Salmon was drenched in sauce and unappealing. Tomato sauce is flavorless. Would not recommend this restaurant. read more

BEST Tiramisu :) Our server was flawless. I don't remember her name but she made our first time there a great one. We'll be back!

Haven't ordered from here in a while. Was so disappointed! Maybe they have different people in the kitchen? I ordered Bake Ziti and Greek Salad to be delivered. I live right down the block from the restaurant. The ziti was mush with a thick layer of cheese on top. The salad limp. Maybe it's better to eat in the restaurant. $35.00 bucks wasted. read more

Service was excellent. All 3 entrees we ordered were microwaved. When the food comes pretty quick and has a ton of steam coming off. You can actually taste it. Disappointed for sure. read more

I love Papa Guiseppe! Great food, service is always good. Nice atmosphere. I've liked everything I've tried here.

I usually order my Italian from another restaurant. Branched out and tried this one instead. Ordered pizza, penne ala vodka and another pasta dish. Side salad and garlic rolls were included. Pizza was good. Pasta was bland with VERY little sauce. Garlic rolls barely had garlic on them. Not trying to trash the place, just isn't my taste. read more

The best eggplant I've ever had! Love the food. Love the service! Casual dining at its best. Perfect for families.

Not real Italian Bad sauce acid taste and not sweet Will not go back that is it. Sorry it was not good but their aren't many good ones around read more

GF options! Gluten-free pasta with shrimp & marinara sauce was divine on 11-17-2022. My GF spouse encountered no ill effects after eating her HUGE portion of GF portion. Service was friendly and the best in the area. Highly recommended for a relaxing dinner. read more

Favorite place. Delicious food. Delicious drinks. Beautiful new full liquor, beer & wine bar. Awesome staff. Great service. Amazing experiences every single time. Will definitely frequent Papa Giuseppes more than twice a week. Thank you to the Owners for this neighborhood Gem read more

Nice local pizza restaurant. It is always packed on a night which is a good sign. The speciality pizzas are definitely worth it, if you in the area and want a decent slice - check them out! read more

The only thing better than the guys that own/run this place is the food! A Home Run! Happy New Year!

The entire family (minus the fabulous Kelly) works here together and are all the most accommodating, customer focused people I have ever encountered in a small, local business. I first called and spoke with Bruno a few weeks prior to having my mother's 75th birthday luncheon here....he about offered me the world! We had a group of approximately 45 planned to come and they gave us more than 1/2 the restaurant. We set up a multi-course lunch for everyone which included a few pizzas to share among the crowd, a bunch of mozzarella sticks for each table, soup or salad, a choice of 8 different lunch entrees, dessert, garlic rolls and coffee/soda for a very reasonable rate. I met Tony the day of the party. Both just very nice Italian boys! They even allowed us to hire in entertainment, which everyone loved having! The mozzarella sticks were very good, the pizza was good, the meatballs were very, very good, the salad was crisp and fresh, the desserts were homemade and good. The pasta was a bit overdone. Seemed that most of the pasta dishes people had were overdone. But all in all, the meal was quite good. The place is small, makes it more intimate. The booths and walls need some updating. My favorite thing in the entire place from a decor standpoint was the wine barrel outside - Santa Alicia wine barrel. I must find one of those! The customer service and friendliness of the staff, by far, makes this an excellent choice no matter if you want to have lunch, dinner or a party here! read more

The food was great! I had the Tortellini with meat sauce, garlic rolls and soup on the side and a glass of Chianti. The main dish was delicious and hearty, I loved the soup (it came out nice and hot) and the garlic rolls were delectable, the wine paired wonderfully with the meal. Service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere gave cozy Italian family vibes. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Highly recommend! My parents are obsessed with this place and now I know why. Their lunch specials are a steal at $6.95 and there's at least 15 options to choose from. The staff is warm and welcoming, and the (I presume) owner/chef even greets the tables and comes around to help clean up. I ordered the manicotti lunch special which comes with a drink, 2 garlic knots, and a salad. I also added a side of meatballs. Salad is a small, perfect sized lunch portions. The Italian dressing was delicious. Not too sweet or salty. The garlic knots, I could eat for days. My manicotti was freshly made and baked with cheese. The sauce here is perfect. Not too sour, like some other places, and not too salty. The meatballs were tender and absolutely delicious. Comes in an order of 3. I would definitely go back. It was amazing!! read more

Ok. So the food here is pretty good. Ambiance, pleasant. A little loud but not bad. Pizza is good and the antipasto is very good. The service leaves enough to be desired, although it may just have been our server, Lucy. She came to the table and seemed quite distracted while she took our order. She scanned the room because to look at us seemed inconvenient. We asked for bread and she asked, "how many"? I've never been asked that before! I mean, are we rationing? The lovely couple at the table next to us asked THEIR waitress for bread and they were not asked to specify a quantity. In fact they were given an ample portion of two per person at the table. We got one because, of course, this is America where we've become so carb shamed I couldn't bring myself to ask for more than one roll! Honestly! It's an Italian restaurant! Let us have bread! They charge $0.50 a roll. No rolls are included with your salad. NO ROLL FOR YOU!!! read more

Passed by this restaurant a thousand times so we decided to try it. It was a Friday of New Year's weekend. The place was packed and noisy. The pizza looked really good, maybe next time. They have a pretty extensive menu. Typical neighborhood pizzeria/Italian restaurant. Nothing fancy. Dinner comes with a choice of house salad or soup and Garlic rolls. They say their Garlic rolls are famous. I thought they were just fair. My wife ordered her favorite Chicken Parm, a large portion so she took 1/2 home. Amazing only $ 13.95. Good deal. I ordered the Zuppa di Pesce over linguini , calamari, shrimp, mussels & clams in a marinara sauce. I asked for Fra Diablo sauce instead. Nice portion with lots of seafood. It was very good and reasonable, $ 21.00. We will definitely return. read more

Best pizza in the area. If you love pizza, then you know that south florida is mostly crap pizza. There may be a few good New York-style pizzerias, but Papa's is a step above the rest. From a perfect crust, to delicious sauce, and high quality and plentiful toppings. You won't be disappointed. Also serving lots of Italian entrees. Be sure to get your rolls with garlic. Again, very yummy. read more

This has to be one of my favs as well as my Daughters! The food is always delicious, huge portions, great prices, and the staff always friendly! I have had there Cesar salad with the most scrumptious grilled shrimp, their chicken parmigiana is another great choice, the shrimp scampi, and there soup is fresh and delicious I highly recommend this place! This was written after multiple times ordering to go, going into restaurant!! read more
