Palio’s Pizza Café

This is the best pizza in Melissa... hands down. I have eaten at several Palio's locations around DFW. This has a very similar feel on the inside as others, but newer. I ordered the large half BBQ chicken and half Meat. Sorry for the guy who didn't get his sauce, because what I had was very good. The BBQ sauce is sweet with a little kick. The cook time was spot on. The toppings were fresh. My wife had the gluten free crust half BBQ chicken and half Hawaiian. This is by far the best tasting pizza GF crust we have found in Melissa. Cadillac Pizza has probably the best GF crust in the area, but it's twice as much. The GF pizza picture is the one with the pineapple on it. My pictures don't do it justice. I had already eaten almost half my pizza before I remembered to take a photo. Don't waste your money on the main chain pizza joints like PJ, Dominoes, Papa Murphy, etc. This is worth it. There isn't a pizza on their menu that isn't top notch. My only gripe was the staff was less than stellar. It wasn't bad or negative... just kinda apathetic and not there to give the customer a good experience. They could have bussed a table or two, greeted the customers, been present, or even smiled. But, service aside... they made a great pizza and looking forward to eating there again... even if I have to pump some life into the staff myself. :-)

The gluten-free pizza was delish! Friendly staff, and looking forward to going back to try the salad I saw at another table!
