Paul’s Chicago Pizza

February 26, 2019

If you know me, then you know my obsession with pizza. From a pizza purse, a pizza tattoo, pizza socks, and countless pizza shirts, I am known as the Pizza Queen. I try pizza everywhere in my travels and I must say, Tampa Bay is filled with some great pizza spots.

Paul’s Chicago Pizza is one of my favorites. They have two locations, their original and flagship spot in Clearwater, located at 1500 N. McMullen Booth Road, and their newer location at 11002 4th Street North in St. Petersburg. Everyone that I have sent to Paul’s have become loyal customers. From their wonderful staff to their incredible food, they are a a Tampa Bay gem.

Da Best Thin Crust

Known for having “da best” thin crust, Paul’s features authentic, Chicago style pizza. I was one of those that always thought of Chicago pizza as “deep dish” style, not thin crust. While Paul’s does feature both, they are known for their thin crust and trust me when I say this, you will love it.

Paul’s Stuffed Pizza

In addition, Pauls’s features a menu filled with tasty options such as wings, salads, pasta dishes, and Chicago classics such as a Chicago Dog, a Meatball Parm, an Italian Sub and more.

Italian Sub

I have been making it a point to try everything on their menu and get something different on each visit.

Loaded Fries

Whether you are looking for a quick bite at lunch, a family night, or even a date night, Paul’s is one of my favorite destinations. I leave happy every single time and simply adore their staff.

Garlic Parm Poppers

Did I mention that their lasagna is one of my favorites? I rarely order lasagna when dining out because I ate it so much as a kid growing up. Paul’s is the only place were I will make an exception. Made from scratch and with love, it is the ultimate comfort food.

Lasagna

I am always looking for the best wings in Tampa and Paul’s is right up their in my top ten. Their dry rub wings are fantastic and I love ordering them when I am trying to stick to a low-carb eating plan.

    I have to agree with everything you said about Paul’s. I moved to St. Petersburg last June and now I’m a local there almost every Friday night LOL. I am trying everything on their menu as well and I love their Italian Beef sandwich with the Aus Ju. But most definitely I love their Lasagna just as much as you do. It’s all ion the marinara sauce.

    Cheese and sausage – extra sausage – extra crispy is the way we eat it. I recently bought five pounds of Italian sausage from Pauls via Sean their St Pete manager. I made spaghetti sauce wit da meataball and da sauseeg. I brought Sean a care package. Ask him about it. Their Italian sausage is to die for. How do I enter the $25 giveaway?
