    This supreme pizza was just AWESOME!!!   Disclaimer:  we had already eaten two pieces after I snapped this pic so it's larger.

    Was looking for a great deep dish pizza that had fresh toppings and a crispy crust. This place checks all the boxes. We had the Tammy Supreme and it was outstanding. Pepperoni, fennel sausage, green peppers, onions, black olives and mushrooms. It was a little pricey at $24, however I'm willing to pay a little more for good quality pizza. One thing we noticed is that they do not skimp on the toppings like other places. It's wall to wall toppings piled high. My wife and I shared this pizza and it worked out great. We ordered take out and it was ready in ten minutes. The gal at the front who took our order was pleasant, helpful and very professional. Highly recommended!

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I consider myself to be a pizza snob, and this is the best pizza in Bloomington/Normal and I've tried them all. Adam and his team are incredibly helpful and accommodating to any order I make. His passion for making a great product and customer service is unlike anything I've had in town. He's consistent at offering new pizzas and collabs with other business and makes me excited to order every week. You NEED to try his pizza and see what the hype is all about. He's located inside Mass VR so now I can play gaming at eat at the same time!

    Great as always. And my wife and sister in law agree. They had previously gone to the downtown…read morelocation and didn't like the pizza there. But this place makes it different and better. The menu is a bit different now. The biggest size they have is Large. And you can get that as hand tossed New York style or thin and crispy. Service is great as they cook your pizza in less than 15 minutes. Around the Christmas holidays I ordered 2 Large Hand Tossed and my wife and all of my relatives loved it. I got one Pepperoni and one Firehouse Delight, minus green peppers because my father in law doesn't like green peppers. It was a good thing I ordered those two because they were gobbled up within minutes while we waited for my wife's other pizza orders to show up from other places.

    Fast delivery and delicious food! We were amazed at how yummy the pizza and Bosco sticks were…read more If you're staying at the Marriott in Normal, try ordering delivery to the hotel and eating your meal poolside for an extra special evening. Highly recommend the cheeseburger pizza. It's not something we would typically order, but figured it was worth a shot. Now that we've tried it once, we will be ordering it every time we are in town. There are so many good places to eat at in BloNo, which makes choosing a pizza place difficult. This place might just be our new fav!
