Stopped in on a Saturday night (school out for summer).. Immediate seating,orderd stuffed pizza and was told they take about 55 minutes (may consider ordering ahead). Seated in the bar to watch NBA playoffs, the tvs were old small tube tvs which was a little disappointing. Service was good, pizza was very good. Both of us could only eat two... More

A group of 10 went to Papa Del's of of the recommendation of Trip Advisor. We were not disappointed. The portions say serve 2,3,4 etc. this is 2 people=4 slices. Even I and my son as big eaters could only do 2 pieces after an appetizer as well for the traditional Sicilian. The worst part is the wait cuz these... More

When in town, we always make a visit to Papa Del's for the super stuffed pizza. Great crust, and good flavor sauce. They take 55 minutes to make, so order ahead to avoid the food wait.

As good as I remembered it. And Ebert's far flung correspondents were there, too. The stuffed pizza is huge. we took half of it home--I couldn't eat more than one piece. Service was excellent, too.

I went to the University of Illinois and ate at Papa Del's quite a few times. After college, I lived in the Chicago area for several years where I ate quite a bit of Chicago style pizza (Giordanos, Malnatis, etc). While Papa Del's falls short of Giordanos in my book, it is a solid downstate choice for a great deep... More

Passing through Champaign we decided to stop for lunch and asked for tripadvisor recommendation. We found the food service and atmosphere to be great! Well kept, clean bathrooms, always a plus.

Everyone told us -- "Papa Del's has the BEST pizza!" If this is the best pizza in Champaign, then God help Champaign. The wait is RIDICULOUS for what is basically a tomato pie. 45 minutes for a PIZZA? Really? OK, then, if we have to wait that long, it better be amazing. Alas, it wasn't. I found it to be... More

This place was packed as we went there for lunch during the Big Ten Wrestling tournament. We waited about ten mintues for a table, so not that bad! We ordered garlic bread, water, a beer, and two slices for him and one for me. Our waitress, then disappeared and I watched our water and beer sit at the bar for... More

Nothing quite compares with this former Chicago girl, as Giordono's deep dish, but when I had been hearing good things about Papa Del's from locals, we decided to give it a try. My first thought as we were seated at a table near the window along Green St., is that the restaurant needs a really good cleaning and spruce up.... More
