    OK, now who is going to sit down and go, "Gee, what if I sliced potatoes and put them on a pizza"? Apparently, the geniuses at Pizza Payaa. Their latest special, the Loaded Potato Payaa, is brilliant. Of course, the incredible Detroit-style pizza with that crunchy cheesy edge, three cheeses, garlic, thinly sliced delicious Yukon gold potatoes, topped with grana Padano cheese, finished with chives, sour cream, and loads of bacon. Ridiculous.

    From my third of four visits: beloved by all!

    Pizza Payaa is fantastic--I've tried it four times with four different groups of people, and it never fails to please everyone! They use top-of-the-line ingredients that most other pizza joints in Bloomington-Normal don't, and the pizzas are well-made. From the classic flavors to their inventive specials, everything has been delicious! You have to try this place.

    Listen, I'm originally from Chicago and this pizza blows away any pizza place from there. Lou Malnati's? Better. Pequod's? Better. Giordano's? Better. Gino's East? Better. I literally stake my Chicago claim on it. Try this pizza now! Especially the collabs. I haven't had one bad pie yet!

    Amazing local small business! Their pizza is so good and so fresh. I was lucky enough to win their free pizza giveaway with pop up chicken for the BBBB pizza and it was one of the best specialty pizzas i have ever had. It even reheated well the next day. I also loved their brussel sprouts with hot honey, so good!!

    Ready for my pizza!

    Excellent pizza every time. Best specialty pizza ever (and I travel fairly often to 'foodie' cities). Voted Best Pizza in BloNo. Have always done take out - located in a VR/video poker place. Best to order ahead and plan ahead. May be an hour or more for pick up. At first glance, it appears pricey. But, thicker, absolutely amazing crust heavy on the toppings. Well worth the price and the wait.

    Honey Badger, Cheese, and Cheese Burrata Be Kidding Me.

    So worth it. The crust is just amazing and the toppings are top notch. Highly recommended! Easy to order, walk in sit down at a numbered table and order through QR code website. Can also order at the counter. Located in VR gaming complex. Very exciting place to hang out watch kids play.

    What's left over from our two pizzas.

    This pizza ROCKS! And no pizza is complete for me anymore without Mike's Hot Honey. Online ordering so easy too! Nice change from the regular routine.

    Love eating here. You never know what game or sport will be on which makes the stop more fun. Great…read moreplace to have a casual business meeting.

    Left Nashville early morning and looking for a spot to watch the Big 10 Tournament game between…read moreWisconsin and Michigan. Hit the door about tip off time. Place was plenty busy with kids having pizza parties. Place was not fancy nor was the food. Plenty of TVs to choose from so we parked ourselves just outside the kitchen door facing a big multi screen set up. Started with a Cobb Salad with the intention of having salad and pizza. They had several pizza options that looked very good: square, hand tossed and the cheese crusted box. Salad was plenty big but nothing fancy. Served the two of us with some to spare. Boiled egg, tomatoes, onions, green peppers and cheese, but the lettuce was cut in an odd way and actually continued a core section. Blue cheese and an Italian dressing came on the side. Nevertheless, we ate it during the first half. We had every intention of ordering pizza but got tracked by the chicken fingers on the menu. Nana's giant chicken fingers were huge, the size of a chicken breast. There were 4 of them in the order. We decided on the hot-spicy herb Parmesan sauce. Well, that was a lot of chicken. The coating was heavy breading covered with hot sauce. That actually worked for us because the coating came off without much effort. We never got the pizza. That was probably a mistake. We watched the game and jumped into the car very satisfied for the rest of the trip. I can't make a recommendation based on the food, but I can say the staff was friendly and attentive. Would return for a kids party and stick to the pizza.
