Pizza is top notch - great crust and fresh ingredients throughout. Just stay away from the water - they need a better filtration system.

Not a fan. Met up with friends who live right in the neighborhood and go here often. The waitress was indifferent to the fact that we were deep in conversation with the people we met here, and kept treating us as though she was trying to get us out of there. This is extremely annoying especially when it was a pretty large bill. For the price of 4 dinners, I would have preferred to be in a more comfortable environment being waited on my employees who appreciated and respected our business.

The food was subpar and certainly not worth the asking prices. Of course our companions would disagree. But

OMG, what a great little gem this place is! The pizza is to die for, amazing ingredients and absolutely perfect crust. The other dishes were delicious too.They also offer a full bar along with very reasonably priced wines. But let's keep it our little secret, ok?

Hot rolls saturated with oil? Weird and not edible. Chicken Parmesan was more breading than chicken. Marinara sauce was bitter and not very tasty. My side salad was fresh. I was hoping for a better meal. Don't think I'll go back and don't recommend.

Definitely one of best chicken parmesan dinner if not the best in the area. Good garlic knots and bread. The sausage and peppers are good. The pasta dinners are good as well. Service is good. It's what a local Italian restaurant should be. Recommend.

Delicious Classic Italian Meal... started with pepperoni pizza 🍕 that was perfect. Loved the dough & crust. Very light. Had the capellini & clams as my entree & a Peroni to wash it all down! Delicious

My husband and i ordered the chicken noodle soup. It tasted super watered down no flavor. We also ordered the penne vodka with meatballs. The sauce is watered down as well. The meatballs have no taste like it was frozen. The garlic bread has NO garlic on it other then oil. Definitely the WORST italian restaurant i have ever been to right next to olive garden...I do not recommend this at all.

The first day I moved down here from NYC I lamented, where would I find good pizza again. Once I found Pappa Giuseppe I never looked back. Then I started trying everything else on their menu and discovered How truly incredible this place is. A hidden Delray treasure, with great staff, friendly owners and a wonderful menu with huge portions and reasonable prices. Most importantly great chefs. The food is delicious. A Delray MUST!!!

1. The quality of the garlic rolls should be improved. Too much olive oil. We found that the oil was dripping off the rolls.
2. I was very disturbed by the plates being prematurely removed from the table. It made us feel pressured. Unless you see someone having difficulty managing their table with too many plates then the diners should not be disturbed.
3. The pizza was too runny. Although the crust was well done vegetables and the oils used were too runny in fluids.
4. Lastly, a waiter or waitress should not put their arms over the table when removing a plate. This is not a sanitary

I've been here a few times. The ambiance is very good, service is excellent. Food is okay but not absolutely delicious- for one, the manufactured parmesan sitting on each table will ruin your dish. Nothing like freshly grates parmesan... worth the extra $$
The bar always seems super lively. Prices are good. I would definitely come again just for the ambiance and service... and garlic knots.

After we were seated our server brought us water but didn't offer any other
beverages, either ice tea, soft drinks or alcoholic drinks. We were going to order wings for a appetizer only to be told they were out of wings. We were also told they were out of steaks. This is less than good service. There isn't any good excuse for this. The manager should be on top of this. Restaurants should be on top of their game. After losing so much business
this last year they can't afford to be less that 100%. I won't be back. There
are other Italian restaurants I can patronize.

Very solid chicken parmigiana. I missed it so much moving down here from New York 2 years ago and this is the first place I've found that makes it good. Pizza is ok. Not my absolute favorite but Im picky. My fiancé also enjoyed her chicken Caesar salad.

Great service! Great food! We have done takeout few times and every time is the same. The food is fantastic, everything we have tasted so far, taste so fresh and delicious! The pizzas are also great, the dough is thin and crispy, just how I like my pizza. So dar, we gave tried , pepperoni, Hawaiian, eggplant, and another with chicken, all were good. Also have tried the calzone, Caesar salad, fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp, eggplant parmigiana, and lasagna.

My first time ordering from this restaurant. I knew about it for awhile, but had never considered getting food there. I'm glad I did. Even though I had ordered to take out, the very nice hostess directed me to where to pick up my order. A side note, she noticed that my glasses were fogged up due to wearing my mask and she gave me a suggestion as to where to get a defogging product. She obviously understands good customer service. The pizza was just what I wanted, the Rustica. The crust was just cooked perfectly, the toppings were not too much or too little. I ordered a side salad to go with

Have done take out the last two nights from this restaurant and everything was delicious!! The owner was very nice, friendly and personable. The pizza was yummy and the eggplant parmigiana sandwiches were so so good. There's a nice outdoor area in front that's tastefully made private and my husband and I are looking forward to having dinner there. The menu looks fantastic and the restaurant is in a very convenient location. 5 stars!

Best pizza in the area. If you love pizza, then you know that south florida is mostly crap pizza. There may be a few good New York-style pizzerias, but Papa's is a step above the rest.

From a perfect crust, to delicious sauce, and high quality and plentiful toppings.

You won't be disappointed.

Also serving lots of Italian entrees. Be sure to get your rolls with garlic. Again, very yummy.

I read good reviews about Papa Giuseppe and I finally visited. Good decision I made . This will be the only pizzeria that I will be eating pizza for now on. We cannot find another local pizzeria that will make 1 white and 1 red sauce pizza personal pan pizza. Thin crust delicious pizza.
I will return to dine during the week when they have a early dining special. Nice ambience too
not to leave out the wonderful service.
