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

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

Reviewers are right! From the outside it looks small! But WOW! Food and service (and prices) are excellent! My elderly next door lady suggested it! We shared the MOST DELICIOUS HAWAIIAN PINEAPPLE PIZZA! A small was just enough for the two of us! FLAVORFUL and the menu is extensive. Ambience is modern and very good and the bar is very well stocked! A TRUE GEM! Highly Recommended! The Pizza crust was perfection and the cream cheese or ricotta in place of sauce was superb! Believe me I will return! Thank You all! Waiters are very attentive and Lucy was a GEM! Believe me I am returning very soon! read more

Papa Giuseppe - Suzie salivating over her DELICIOUS HAWAIIAN PIZZA at Pape Guiseppe's Delray Beach - Desserts Near Me - Delray Beach, Florida

After reading all these great reviews and seeing the many comparisons to NY style pizza I was very excited to try it. Got the pizza to go and as soon as I got in my car I grabbed a slice excited to try it only to be disappointed. The sauce was bland , the crust was burnt & the cheese was very bland. As a NYer this was a far cry from any NY style pizza I have ever had back home. The only thing that made the pizza tolerable and gave it a little flavor was the crushed red peppers I added. Not good at all. read more

I went to Papa Giuseppe's last night to get two pizzas for me and my fiancé and it was pretty good. If the only thing I was rating it for was my pizza alone I'd have given 4 stars because I quite liked it. However, there were some downers. I would have been able to order right away, but they don't have ground sausage as an available topping option, and my fiancé specifically wanted a pizza with pepperoni and ground sausage, NOT sliced, which was all they had. So I had to call him to figure out if I should go elsewhere or get something different. He was hungry, tired, and grouchy and it was almost 8 PM. The man who was going to take my order had to go tend to the bar, so after my phone call I had to wait quite a long time to even order. Then, I sat for what felt like a long time and finally asked if the two pizzas that had been sitting on top of the oven were mine. They were, but no one from the kitchen told him they were ready... and after I asked, and he confirmed they were mine he had to hound the kitchen for the side of meatballs I'd ordered with them. I got a vegetarian pizza without mushrooms or bell pepper, add tomato and extra cheese (add $3, which seemed like a lot for extra cheese, but whatever). My pizza was good, his pepperoni was average. I was kinda bummed that even the margarita pizza didn't come with real mozzarella, all pizzas only have shredded cheese. The meatballs were decent, but nothing above average. The man who took my order was friendly and helpful, but it just all took to long and $45 (before tip) for two pizzas and 3 meatballs that were nothing to write home about felt a little steep. Like I said, I liked my pizza, but I don't know if I'll go back or keep trying other spots. read more

Last night I had the best pizza ever since I moved to FL 30 years ago! It was very similar to my NY/Long Island favorites. I scarfed down the entire pie by myself without a break read more

We have a group of six guys who dine together weekly, and have been doing so for years. We rotate a number of familiar and new restaurants around the Delray area, and we most often frequent Papa Giuseppe's because of the quality of it's food and staff. Always a sure bet. read more

Ordered take out . Will never order from here again . Tasteless and looked like the food was reheated in microwave. Ordered shrimp scampi and pasta carbonara . read more

Definitely the spot to get your New York style pizza! The slices are big, flavorful and the crust is perfect! Delicious! read more

Papa Giuseppe - 1 slice ready to go - Desserts Near Me - Delray Beach, Florida

After we were seated our server brought us water but didn't offer any other beverages, either ice tea, soft drinks or alcoholic drinks. We were going to order wings for a appetizer only to be told they were out of wings. We were also told they were out of steaks. This is less than good service. There isn't any good excuse for this. The manager should be on top of this. Restaurants should be on top of their game. After losing so much business this last year they can't afford to be less that 100%. I won't be back. There are other Italian restaurants I can patronize. read more

Our favorite restaurant in Del Ray. Service is EXCELLENT. Three months later, the server remembered my MIL's wine order. Of course that made us feel very special. The eggplant Rollatini with Angel Hair is EXCELLENT and big enough to split. It gets crowed and very energetic on the weekends. I like the white zin. It's sweet. Eggplant pizza is good too. Only thing lacking is their salads. They are not very fresh and the serving bowls are terrible. The soup of the day was very very good, though, worth getting even in the super hot Florida summer. read more

We love the sauce and thin New York style!!! You have to try the brushetta, it's to die for. Best around Delray Beach!!!

This place is AMAZING! They are super friendly and are great at their jobs! I ordered gnocchi and asked for it with róse sauce. They prepared a delicious meal! gnocchi was fresh and food was hot! The soup was amazing! I recommend this place 100%! prices are very affordable!!! Great meal! read more

Wow, they close at 11pm. We call at 10:05pm. The guy answer the phone so rudely! Unbelievable, here is a key fact to owning a business idiots! CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! I ask the guy can we place a take out order. He takes a deep breath and goes it's only pizza now. Which we was ordering. I said okay that is what I like to order. This guy says ughh what will you like. I just hung up! Hey papa Giuseppe train your employees!! You're losing business before anyone can take a step in your building. read more

Recently reopened in a new location on Linton Blvd. Very good pizza. Traditional Italian dishes. Food is good and service attentive. Very nice neighbor place. read more

I order from here all the time and ordered a side of grilled chicken, like I always do, and they charged me $20! I order from here weekly and because I asked for an extra piece of chicken, they charged me an additional $10... Spoke to someone that works there and he said instead of charging me an extra couple dollars, he had to put an order of 5 spinach in the system which came out to way more...that was the explanation I got. Didn't have the common courtesy to keep a loyal customer happy. $20 for a side of grilled chicken...wtf And burnt garlic rolls to top it all off! read more

Papa Giuseppe - Burnt garlic rolls - Desserts Near Me - Delray Beach, Florida

My cousins suggested it wasn't far from zKings Point where they picked me up. Good parking and comprehensive menu. As soon as we sat down. One player of garlic rolls and another plain rolls with butter. We all thought the rolls tasted fresh and were a nice starter. We had pizza and aGreek salad. My other cousin had no chi, another ravioli, and another chicken Marsala. Two of the cousins ordered soup, other othered a garden salad. One order of wine , one had a beer. Food was hot, plentiful and delicious. We ended with freshly made coffee which was really good, two split a cannoli and on other two split an eclair. I look forward to returning. Service was attempted, food was better than good, and prices fair. Would certainly recommend. read more

I had the best Greek salad with shrimp and my mom had the baked ziti. The baked zita had cream in the sauce that made it really decadent. I love the new space on Linton. Can't wait to try everything in here. Great bar to sit at too! read more

We make a special effort to visit if we're anywhere in the area. We were at first afraid our favorite South Florida pizza place was no more, but found they'd moved to a new building very close by. The dining room is different but the pizza is still the same. Great cheese, delicious sauce, and terrific toppings - meatball and sausage. Love supporting locally owned businesses. read more

Great service! Great food! We have done takeout few times and every time is the same. The food is fantastic, everything we have tasted so far, taste so fresh and delicious! The pizzas are also great, the dough is thin and crispy, just how I like my pizza. So dar, we gave tried , pepperoni, Hawaiian, eggplant, and another with chicken, all were good. Also have tried the calzone, Caesar salad, fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp, eggplant parmigiana, and lasagna. read more

Visiting Delray in an Airbnb and needed to feed 11 mouths - 3 from NY and 4 are displaced NY'rs. We ordered 4 pies. Fed all of us with left overs. This pizza was the best pizza I had in years. Texas pizzas- suck!!! Nothing to complain about. Delivery was quick and swift and came hot. Thanks. read more

3.5 Stars. Because Staff was very friendly. Our search continues for a satisfactory NY compatible pizza that is in the vicinity of our home. In the 3 years we've lived here, we found just 1 establishment that meets our New York standards in Boca (Manhattan Joe's). This pizza wasn't terrible, but the crust killed it! Top layer (cheese/sauce/meets) were fine, but the crust was soooo dry. Cracked in to pieces on the fold and had no taste to it as well. Fried calamari batter also crumbled on the fork. Sorry guys, but just a very average joint. read more

I was excited when this place first opened!! So I decided to try it and I was very disappointed with the pizza Quality and taste! I also ordered pasta and it's not authentic at all!! I was disappointed because I really thought by the name and look of the restaurant that it would be delicious!! The bar is very pretty even though it is very small!! I would say just improve on the quality of food! read more

The first day I moved down here from NYC I lamented, where would I find good pizza again. Once I found Pappa Giuseppe I never looked back. Then I started trying everything else on their menu and discovered How truly incredible this place is. A hidden Delray treasure, with great staff, friendly owners and a wonderful menu with huge portions and reasonable prices. Most importantly great chefs. The food is delicious. A Delray MUST!!! read more

The food was really impressive and the red sauce is really authentic. You cannot go wrong eating here. I was blown away by the efficiency and caring service. read more

We visited this establishment on a Thursday night on the way to the airport!! We were in the mood for pizza but when we arrived at the restaurant we were told they are only available for dine in at 12" size which takes away any options for two full grown men that are hungry!! So we would be forced to order 2 12 inch sizes to satisfy our hunger. We then decided on entrees instead. My farther entree came with soup, which ended up coming out as the wrong soup. When we received our dinners we felt that was very fast but efficient for our time frame. My father's dinner was linguin with clams which came out very watery almost as if the pasta was drowning in it. He had it drained out only to find when he got it back it was a full flavor of lemon sauce with minimal clams provided. Linguini with clams should not be made with lemon sauce at all. My chicken Alfredo also tasted watery, very blan and no seasoning, the chicken needs to be more chared and grilled for flavor and taste. Overall poor experience will not return, will visit Italian restaurants in boca which know the concept of Italian food and service. read more

Ordered their supposedly "Margherita pizza" for pickup. When I got home and opened the box I almost thought they gave me the wrong pizza. It looked like a regular cheese pizza with skimpy pieces of basil scattered about. A definite no no. When I say margarita pizza, I'm thinking big slices of white mozzarella cheese and fresh slices of tomatoes and fresh basil. I guess every place has a different style of making pizza. The pizza was so bland and greasy. No flavor at all. I ate one slice and threw the rest of the pie out. A waste of $16. I wouldn't recommend this place at all. read more

Papa Giuseppe - This is NOT a "Margherita pizza". Bland, greasy and horrible. Waste of money :( - Desserts Near Me - Delray Beach, Florida

Have done take out the last two nights from this restaurant and everything was delicious!! The owner was very nice, friendly and personable. The pizza was yummy and the eggplant parmigiana sandwiches were so so good. There's a nice outdoor area in front that's tastefully made private and my husband and I are looking forward to having dinner there. The menu looks fantastic and the restaurant is in a very convenient location. 5 stars! read more

I stopped in for lunch. The staff was friendly. I picked up 2 slices of pepperoni pizza. When I bit into it, reminded me instantly of New York pizza. The cheesy, greasy, delicious taste. I will definitely have to try the other options on the menu. read more

Papa Giuseppe - Two slices and a drink - Desserts Near Me - Delray Beach, Florida

Papa Giuseppe is a very small authentic Italian restaurant nestled in a very shopping center along Linton Blvd in Delray Beach. This restaurant is so good it doesn't need to advertise--yep, it's that good. The dishes are freshly prepared, the menu is extensive, we tried about six things and all were delicious -- the reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the pizza wasn't cooked enough, I will try it again and ask for it to be a little more done. Rumor has it, Giuseppe is moving one shopping north very soon, it's worth a trip. read more

Local spot and easy to get to through the back streets. Ordered dinner here last night and the food was great & the staff was friendly!

Best pizza in the area- hands down. Haven't tried anything else in the menu but why bother when the pizza is that good.

Hot rolls saturated with oil? Weird and not edible. Chicken Parmesan was more breading than chicken. Marinara sauce was bitter and not very tasty. My side salad was fresh. I was hoping for a better meal. Don't think I'll go back and don't recommend. read more

Very solid chicken parmigiana. I missed it so much moving down here from New York 2 years ago and this is the first place I've found that makes it good. Pizza is ok. Not my absolute favorite but Im picky. My fiancé also enjoyed her chicken Caesar salad. read more

What a great find! Wonderful staff and the chef is fantastic. Had the red snapper franchise and I'd give that alone 5 stars. I will be back for sure read more

amazing food. Amazing service. Ever since having their grilled chicken every other grilled chicken tastes bland to me, theirs is always seasoned to perfection. Their customer service is always amazing as well, they make you feel like family. 10/10 highly recommend. :) read more
