As a local, I know not everyone gives a thumbs up for Pagliacci's. But for me this is comfort food. Maybe it's because I've been coming here since I was a teenager and used to think it was cool that they played rock music and had Italian movie posters on the wall. The pizza isn't anything spectacular and the atmosphere has been yuppified, but when I'm on my own and need to fill up my favorite thing to do is come here, grab a couple of slices of pep and flip through the latest Stranger. They're steady, consistent, reliable. Not stellar but good enough to keep me coming back.
