Our friends over at PizzaPapalis are back in action!

PizzaPapalis Toledo is officially back open TODAY! Our staff and renovation crew have been working tirelessly since April to renovate and clean our beautiful downtown building. Although a first floor flood during dinner rush wasn’t anything we had planned for, it allowed us to give our building a much needed refresh. Come in this week to see our new floors, new menu, and meet some new staff!

Some things to note! We will be starting off with opening the first floor ONLY. We understandably lost some of our experienced staff, so we don’t want to overwhelm our trainees. This could mean possible wait times for tables (especially over the weekend) and longer wait times for food. We appreciate your understanding as we adjust and get back into the swing of things!

You are ALWAYS welcome to pre-order your dine-in pizzas! Just call in any time before you arrive. ☎️ (419) 244-7722

We are so grateful to everyone who has been waiting with us to reopen. Thank you for giving us such a great reason to work hard to come back! See you soon, Toledo. ❤️
