I used to work here in the late 90s and wanted to finally take my kids who were now old enough to sit in a restaurant. we pre ordered so my pizza would be ready when we arrived. we were seated in the bar section ... the tables looked dirty and ours was very wobbly. I recall when I worked... more

I am a PREVIOUS employee of papa del's pizza myself. I understand that people may not be impressed with the service there, but honestly there is a hard time keeping people in jobs like that. Meaning you constantly have new people coming in. Hard to truly train someone in customer service if they only last a week. Besides, its a... more

Papa Del's has to be the absolute best pizza in the world! I cannot say enough about it. The toppings are fresh, the breadsticks are amazing, and the beer is cold. I live in Georgia now, but everytime I go home I grab a party size and a few frozen pizzas to take home. All my friends down here are... more

I was at Carle Hospital, (which is located 2-3 blocks from papa del's) visiting my very sick grandfather in the hospital. I decided to order pizza for the family and thought that papa Del's was the way to go. I started to give my information when the lady on the other end asked me for the address. I had no... more

I really love Papa Del's. I usually have it delivered because I avoid campus like the plague. It does take a while to get your pizza so don't order it and expect it to be at your door in 20 minutes. Likewise, if you dine in, know ahead of time that it's going to take an hour to get your... more

The food can be very good or very bad, but the consistency is in the price (high) and the service (bad). We ordered a stuffed pizza and waited an hour, plus and had a COLD deep dish delivered to our table. The waitress refused to answer how the mistake was made and offered to have us wait another hour and... more

I lived for over 20 years in chambana, and now that I have moved away, I long for nothing more than a great Papa Del's pizza. My family and I used to go to the original Papa Del's location (now closed) and yet the new locations never disappointed me. It is far far better than any "uno's" (in fact, Uno's... more

The deep dish pizza is great, but the restaurant is dirty and the service terrible. I know that the college student wait staff has homework to do, but at least bring me the food first! more
