Papalino's Pizza — Restaurant in Louisville

Man where to start! I don't typically do reviews but this place has impressed me so much, I can't help but leave one. This is my thorough review on what I think of this place.

For starters, how is parking? Parking isn't too difficult for this place. For the size of it, I believe there is a right amount of parking. Now if you are with a group and a majority of people are driving separately, you may have a harder time for parking depending on the hour. Me alone, I have had no trouble parking. There has always been a few spot available even when showing up on their busiest time.

First impressions? The thematics of the place is definitely an eye catcher. There is so much to look at. My favorite exterior piece to see is the front of the vintage cars they have mounted on the building and the coolest part is when it's dark, the headlights light up. Love the mascot of the place. Didn't realize what the mascot was until the end of the first day after staring at it for a few minutes to admire it. The inside is homey. I love how you can access it from the outside (they have an exposed open area with garage doors) and from the side. THEY HAVE BULL RIDING! Well, it's a chicken. But real cool! At the time of this post, it's down for maintenance. But can't wait to see it in operation. Won't catch me on it though. Lol.

How is the staff? I love the staff here. I have always been treated well and wellade sure I was being cared for. I loved how the supervisor/manager Aaron does his absolute best to get himself involved as much as possible whether it is helping fellow staff out or ensuring that everyone feels right at home. Everyone works as a team and everyone seems to be enjoying working there.

Now rumor has been told to me in regards to the bar, depending on the bartender, sometimes they favor towards a certain gender than the other most likely for better tips. I have yet to experience that. So I don't know how true or fake that rumor is so please don't hold me to it!

How is the food? LORD WHERE DO I START?! The food is phenomenal!!! My favorite thing on the menu is the Yard Bird! I have never had a chicken sandwich make me as full as the Yard Bird has. And the chicken itself is beyond wonderful. I cannot put into words how good it actually is. It is definitely an experience you need to have. So juicy and so natural! Oh you don't like chicken? The burgers are amazing too! I'm pretty sure they make their own patties mixed with beef and short rib. It's very flavorful and juicy as well! The food here definitely makes me feel right at home!

How are the drinks? They have a standard variety of drinks. Coke products, lemonade, tea.

As far as alcohol, they have a decent selection of items. Being a rum fanatic such as myself, they could use a few more bottlea of rum but they got kraken and Morgan so I'm ok with the selections. But would be cool to see some bumbu or maybe some Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva (cough cough)

Activities? All kinds of activities! I know they have a poker league there on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and there are some days they do karaoke! I also know that they are always available and looking to host open mic and gigs for musicians! So if you know anyone, send them their way!

Overall thoughts? Love the place. The food takes natural and good. The drinks are good. The staff is wonderful and good company. This place feels more as an overall safe environment for any needs than just to...

I do not recommend this place. They ran out of food but was told by the waitress that they've have been busy for 3 days so they never made any changes to make sure that didn't happen again .I had to change my order three times due to being out of food. Things are homemade there but they don't taste good. The ranch is watered down. They have horseradish in your honey mustard sauce which is awful. The cornbread was overcooked/ dry and the butter for that was terrible. My chicken came out cold. They started taking my silverware and drinks off the table but I hadn't even started eating yet. I was waiting on my food which really made me feel awkward when the young man started taking everything. I was ready to leave before my food got there to the table. Then the table behind me they kept bringing them free food and their table was loaded up. Meanwhile everything I tried to order I was told it was out. You can't get a diet drink there which that's a preference I understand that but it's odd not to have any type of diet drink. We left there hungry with a $33 Bill and went somewhere else so we could eat which we've never had to do before. I do not recommend this place to anybody and I will not be going back. We tried it and it was a total fail. Don't waste you money. It's overpriced also and does not have a big...

My wife found this place on social as We like to support new/local bars and restaurants. We came here and We sat at the bar. Well the first strike was they didn’t have their liquor license and didn’t post they were waiting for it. That was fine. We had water. The waitress apologized and said that they were supposed to have it but due to the weekend they don’t.

We ordered wings, collard greens and chicken pot pie. None of them came out together. Wings were a decent flavor but burnt. Greens were delicious and the chicken pot pie was not good. I actually had to dip it into the greens sauce that was left over.

Had an issue with our card being taken. They do not have a swipe system so they take your card. We weren’t given our card back and accidentally left our card. Called 45 minutes later and asked if our card was there and Lily answered and said they had it but then said actually we don’t have it. We were already on our way back as we knew they had the card. Walked in and got my card that they were trying to hide.

There was more that went down with the owner and hostess Lily but I will let you make your own decision on whether you want to visit this place.

If you want good food and service go to The Eagle or Hauck’s. You will definitely have a better experience.

Feel free to message me if you want...
