    14" PAPPO'S DELUXE (no greens)
    Shawn V.

    Mia took great care of us and was super friendly and fast! The place is huge with plenty of places to sit, a full bar and a lot of TVs if there are big games to watch. The pizza here is excellent. Perfectly cooked and fresh toppings. Cannot go wrong with Pappos!

    PAPPO'S DELUXE Red sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, sausage, fresh mushrooms, green peppers & red onions.

    On a recent business trip to Springfield, MO, we ordered delivery from Pappo's Pizzeria & Pub, and everything arrived fresh and hot, which is always a plus. We tried The Sicilian, Pappo's Deluxe, and Pappo's Meat Lover pizzas, and they didn't disappoint. The crust had a nice crisp while still being chewy, the red sauce was flavorful without overpowering, and the toppings tasted fresh and well-portioned. Each pizza had a good balance of cheese, meat, and veggies, making for a satisfying meal. The Garlic Cheese Bread was warm and packed with garlicky, cheesy goodness--great for dipping or enjoying on its own. But the real highlight? The Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. They arrived fresh, still soft, and had that perfect mix of rich brown butter, melty chocolate, and a touch of sea salt. Easily the best part of the order and a must-try if you have a sweet tooth. For a delivery order, everything held up well, and Pappo's proved they can bring quality right to your door. Would definitely order again!

    12" SHRIMP SCAMPI PIZZA
    Rae F.

    I'd recently had a pizza from this c same company down in Branson, loved it and decided to try a couple other pies. This time we ordered the margarita pizza and the shrimp scampi. Both were delicious. The margarita had a balsamic glaze, and I was worried it might be too much, or too sweet and it was nice. It was a nice addition. The shrimp scampi pizza sounded interesting and I wasn't sure how it would translate to a pizza, but it delivered and the squirt of lemon on top really brought it together.

    CALZONE

    So, this is the Springfield South location and is always a delight. Tonight after driving 342 miles making sales calls for my company I arrived a little late around 7:45 PM. There were plenty of seats and I chose the bar. The Cubs/Cardinals game was on as it should be here in Cardinal country. This time I decided to try the Calzone and some of the Brown Butter Cookies. The beer was ice cold and delicious. I took the food back to the hotel room. They will give you paper plates and all the items needed to have a civilized meal in your room if you ask. The Calzone was fantastic and the Ricotta/Mozzarella cheese blend was superb. I opted for the Meatballs and Capicola with Mushrooms and light Jalapeño. The marinara is slightly sweet and works perfectly with the heat of the Jalapeño. About the Brown Butter Chocolate Chip cookies, let's just say I wish you could order just 3 but the smallest order is for 6. Yes, 6 and of course they are gone now. Definitely delicious & delightful, you should give this local establishment many visits as the menu is extensive. They are expanding now and I can see why. Excellent!

    8'' Wild Buffalo
    Gracie L.

    After being told I'd have to wait at least two hours to place a carryout order at their downtown Springfield location on a Saturday night at around 7 PM, I decided to visit this location instead. Placing an online order was easy peasy. About 20 minutes after placing my order, I parked in one of their drive-up spots, called the phone number on the sign, and my order was brought out to me right away. The man who brought out my order was very kind and friendly. I had never eaten Pappo's before, so I wanted to try a nice variety of things! My partner and I got a four 8 inch pizzas: Chicken Caesar pizza, The Goat pizza, Hot Honey Pepperoni pizza, and Wild Buffalo pizza. We also tried their garlic cheese bread. The garlic cheese bread wasn't necessarily worth it. Not bad, glad I tried it, but wouldn't care to purchase again. The Chicken Caesar pizza is advertised as being topped with "after bake lettuce," but mine did not have much. It pretty much tasted like caesar dressing smeared on some bread. My partner really enjoyed the Hot Honey Pepperoni pizza and Wild Buffalo pizza. He said the buffalo pizza was one of the best he's ever had. I really liked The Goat pizza, which comes with olive oil glaze, fresh spinach, fresh minced garlic, caramelized onions, caramelized pineapple, topped with goat and mozzarella cheese. Interesting combination of ingredients, but everything pairs wonderfully believe it or not. I subbed the olive oil base for pesto, and it was delicious!

    Wings
    Mike B.

    Can't give ZERO stars and I usually try not to thrash places but this was the worst place I've ever been. The food is absolutely HORRIBLE!!! I ordered meatball appetizer the bread was damn near frozen i could believe they bought it to my table like that. I also ordered the double baked wings and the taste of the wings were like they were old. The 8 inch flat cheese pizza tasted like a frozen box pizza. The lady came to the table seen I didn't eat any of it and didn't give 2 shits gave me the bill and told me to have a nice day. My thing is if I see a customer not eating my food it would concern me more than that individual paying the bill. But these people didn't give a F! ZEO STARS FOR THIS TERRIBLE FOOD

    First time visitor and thought the atmosphere was very nice. Our server came quickly and took our drink order. The drink glasses are large so they don't have to keep filling them up. The menu is very nice, with a large variety of pizzas, salads, and sandwiches. They have a daily lunch special which is a salad and a personal pizza. I got the cranberry feta salad and the meatball pizza. The salad arrived in a stainless steel bowl and was large for a side salad. I had enough time to enjoy my salad before the pizza arrived. The pizza was a good size, with enough sauce and toppings to make it a good pizza.

    Atmosphere - Excellent! The restaurant has a great, casual feel to it. There are lots of tables and they are spaced out nicely. Service - Excellent. Our server was pleasant, helpful and attentive. Food - Excellent! I ordered the lunch special. The lunch size salad was as large as most dinner salads. I ordered the spinach salad and it was great! Rather than a pizza, I ordered the calzone, and had it stuffed with Pepperoni, Sausage and Green Peppers. It was served piping hot and tasted amazing. Overall Value - Excellent. In every way (including price) this dining experience was a great value.

    Caesar salad
    Mark P.

    We came here with our family for the 1 st time. We ordered a Caesar salad and a large pizza with mushrooms and pepperoni. Everything was delicious, one of the best Caesar salads I have ever had a a restaurant, and the pizza sauce is great . Grace was our server and she was very friendly, helpful and checked on us to see if we needed anything she was great

    This was my second visit to Crave Mediterranean Cafe on Republic Road…read more Overall, it's a solid fast-casual experience -- not fine dining, but that's clearly not what they're aiming for. We spent about $40 for two people and had table service, which was a nice touch. Our waitress was very friendly and had a great attitude, though it seemed like she might have been having an off night as there were a few small mistakes along the way. The food was good across the board -- nothing bad at all, just not especially memorable. The space itself is a plus: larger dining room, comfortable seating, and a nice place to sit and enjoy a meal. If you're comparing Mediterranean options in Springfield, I'd probably give the edge on food to Greek Belly, but Crave offers a more spacious and relaxed dine-in atmosphere. Overall, a good, reliable option -- especially if you value the setting as much as the food.

It wasn't too busy, our waitress took us to a table. There were 5 of us. Menu was very simple and easy to read through. They have open kitchen, so you can see the cooks working it up in the kitchen. There are different variety of gyros and shrawma that they have. I usually order a either of it. So it's surprising to see more different one! I stick with the basic gyro and my daughter got the Philly cheese steak gyro and the beef shrawma dinner plates. We also order some appetizer and dessert. Food tastes very fresh and good. A must try spot.

My friend had a Baja bowl that looked and smelled divine and I had the steak Gorgonzola salad, the meat portion was huge and the candied pecans were delicious. I might even bring my super judgmental west coast rude family here since I think even they would be pleased at how delicious the food was.
