    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!

    Palio's Pizza continues to deliver great pizza in a nice quiet environment. I like the Vegetarian pizza with side salad the best.

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

    The sauce was a little sweet. Price reasonable. Owner was fussing at the waitress (thumbs down). 50/50 on if I'll go back.

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. Be prepared for European style service and you will leave satisfied.

The menu I think had a good variety of entrees to choose from, and we both ended really liking the dishes we ordered. I ordered the pasta bolognese, and it was great. 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.

Service: This is a counter order establishment. The pizzas are made to order so we waited about 15-20 minutes for our food to be ready!

We customized our medium pizza and it was the perfect amount of food for the both of us. I had 3 slices and my husband had about 5 slices!

We went with a build your own, with sausage, onion, and green pepper on thin crust. TIP: get the garlic butter crust and the hot honey drizzle! It's counter order style (which is not entirely clear when you walk in), so you place the order up at the bar and grab a table number. Also, there are options "by the slice" if you come alone and don't feel brave enough to tackle a whole pizza (you may regret not getting one though!). I've been to many pizza places on the north side of DFW, and I honestly have to say this is certainly up there with the best ones. If you're in the area, or maybe even if you're not, give this spot a try!

It honestly took me right back to old school Pizza Hut, that thicker, slightly greasy, cheesy in a nostalgic way kind of thing. If that's what you're after you'll probably be into it. Not fancy but it does the job. Here's my problem though. There was a metal disc left inside our pizza box, sitting right under the pie. I know kitchens get busy and stuff happens, but a chunk of metal in the box with the food we're about to eat is not something I can just laugh off. That's a safety issue. It made me wonder how carefully they're checking what actually goes out the door. Two stars for now. The pizza has potential and the nostalgia is real, but they need to fix their quality control before I order again.

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!
