For a fun atmosphere and a choice of pizza, pasta, sandwiches and salads at affordable prices, students can dine at Pagliai’s Pizza.

Assistant manager Dan Lozano has worked at Pagliai’s for four years and loves his job.

“The atmosphere is enthusiastic all the time,” Lozano said.

Menu prices are what draws customers to Pagliai’s. A small pizza, for example, is $5.80 including tax, and a large supreme pizza (the Pagliai special) is $15.60 including tax.

“It’s as cheap as fast food,” Lozano said.

If students wish to enjoy food from Pagliai’s Pizza but don’t want to leave their homes, Pagliai’s delivers to anywhere in Charleston for free.

Pagaliai’s carries sandwiches called “poor boys,” which consist of ham, salami, lettuce, cheese, pizza sauce and Catalina dressing. It also has spaghetti and tortellini.

Since October, Pagliai’s has been running a special in which a large, one-topping pizza and an order of cheesesticks costs $14.80 including tax.

Gretchen Bennett has worked at Pagliai’s Pizza for two and a half years and enjoys her co-workers.

“Everyone I work with is easy to get along with,” Bennett said.

Before she began working at Pagliai’s, Bennett used to eat there “all the time.”

“We have very good food. My favorite is the Pagliai’s special,” Bennett said.

Pagliai’s Pizza is located at 1600 C Lincoln Ave. in Charleston. The hours are from 4 p.m. to midnight Sunday through Thursday, and 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday.
