Our Story
Pagliacci was founded in Seattle back in 1979. The goal was to make the best pizza possible. Simple as that. While a lot has changed since 1979, one thing has remained the same: our mission to deliver the best-tasting, highest quality pizza possible to the Greater Seattle area.
Then and now, many of the great things about Pagliacci Pizza have come from the customers and the employees. Our crew is the heart and soul of Pagliacci, inside and out of the kitchen. Visit any location and you’ll see the energy and dedication that goes into making every single pie. It’s that same energy that keeps customers coming back to make new memories with their friends and families.
This has helped us learn that pizza isn’t just dough, sauce and cheese; family is at the heart of it. We will continue to address our customers by name when they call and greet them with a smile when they walk in. It’s the little things that go into making great experiences, and we have been honored to be a part of the Seattle experience for so many years. We look forward to making new memories with you for years to come.
Our Vision
Our vision is to be the most loved pizza place in our communities by doing good every day. It’s the guiding principle that informs our actions and decisions daily. It’s about making sure every slice of pizza we serve is a testament to our love for what we do, and our respect for the communities we serve. It’s about ensuring that every interaction, whether with a colleague, a customer, or a community member, reflects our commitment to doing good.
Accolades
Over the decades, Pagliacci has been voted a Seattle favorite in many polls, in addition to garnering several meaningful awards. Thanks for your vote! It means a lot to us.

Behind the Scenes
With stores throughout the Greater Seattle area, we’re invested in the well-being of the entire region. We go to great lengths to connect with and support our many communities.
Quality & Locally Sourced
We take pride in using Northwest artisanal foods and fresh, local produce whenever possible. We make our dough daily in the traditional way — with live yeast and no stabilizers or additives — and give it a long, slow rise. This creates a crust with dynamic flavor and springy texture. We use 100% whole-milk mozzarella crafted from the milk of grass-fed, hormone free cows. Our tangy and naturally sweet sauce is made from the best, freshly picked, vine-ripened tomatoes.
Sustainability
Over a decade ago, we committed to making sustainable decisions throughout our operations. This means that we constantly strive to reduce our carbon footprint. Our efforts include purchasing green power and FSC (Forest Stewardship Council)-certified paper products, seeking LEED certification, and more. In fact, Pagliacci was the first restaurant chain to collaborate with Cedar Grove Composting to develop commercial composting programs, which are now used throughout the Seattle area. We take pride in using FSC-certified boxes, which provide us with peace of mind that we are using trees from well-managed forests in our very own Pacific Northwest. We also ensure that no part of the tree goes to waste during the making of our boxes.
Working with local seasonal foods everyday inspires us to look after our environment. We actively seek fresh ways to use less and use wisely whether it’s composting boxes and food waste, saving water and energy, or doing our part to bring 'green' power to the Pacific Northwest from local utilities."
