Papa Fresco’s

I ordered through the Unilocal eat24 app on Memorial Day not knowing that they were closed. I got a phone call from the owner almost immediately apologizing that they were closed. He was very nice. So nice I thought I would order the next day. I got my pizza very quickly by delivery. The prices are very good and most importantly the pizza was awesome!!! I ordered the spicy beef pizza and it was so good. I will definitely order from them again!

Inexpensive hole in the wall pizza place. This place does one thing and does it well. Owner is very friendly and helpful

A good cheap pizza. Nice thin crust, just the right amount of sauce, piled with soft gooey stringy cheese. Only thing that keeps it from 5 stars is that I would prefer the crust to be just a little crispier. Keep it simple. 8 bucks for a pizza feeds two to the point of being borderline uncomfortable.

Tried Papa Fresco’s pizza the other night after reading Unilocal reviews for this place. I drove over there and ordered my large pepperoni pizza to-​go.
I was in awe – a large 14-​inch pizza with one topping is only $ 7.99 plus tax. The guy told me it would be ready in 8 minutes, and he wasn’t kidding – I timed it, and it was exactly 8 minutes. Took my pizza home and dived right in. The thin crust, tomato sauce and cheesy-​ness satisfied my hunger. I agree with the other Unilocalers that say – it may not be the best pizza in the world, but it sure isn’t the worst either.
So, you ask, «If it isn’t the best pizza, why should I try it?» Here’s why…
A large 14″ pizza with one topping is $ 7.99 plus tax !!!
… and it only takes 8 minutes to bake in the oven !!!
Good Pizza + Good Price = Great Value.
The TASTE is BETTER than Pizza Hut, Papa John’s, Little Ceasar, etc.
The PRICE is LESS than Giordanos, Nancys, etc.
If you are stricken with hunger and a craving for pizza, and want instant gratification, Papa Fresco’s will do :)
Papa Fresco’s is also good if you work nearby and have a one-​hour lunch break. The pizza is baked quickly, and they have a half-​dozen or more tables so you can eat lunch there.
Per their sign (see photos) they offer Par-​Baked Pizzas and Gluten-​Free Crusts. I also uploaded a photo with current menu prices (the existing photo from another user has outdated prices).

Ordered a cheeseburger combo and had it delivered to me while I was at work. It was a fair price and I was excited to see how good it would end up being. The delivery was fast and the burger was what I expected– a classic burger and fries. The party was a little dry but I have no real issues with it. I’ll order again for sure :)

I actually don’t mind this place, quick friendly service, quick delivery. The wings are nothing should be tossed in the sauce a little more. The pizza itself isn’t disappointing, but not fantastic either. I think they are a little heavy handed with the cheese, crust gets too hard and is sorta bland. They have some good deals though, and a lot of appetizer options and Italian ice! Yummy!

For quality, service, and value, Papa Frescos cannot be beat! At $ 7.99 for a large pizza with one topping, this is about half the price of most pizza places and just slightly more than Little Caesars. Their razor thin crust, smooth, tasty sauce, and perfectly Textured cheese, make this a must try pizza. I am a very picky pizza eater. But this pizza just found its way onto my top five all-​time list.

Was visiting my parents house and we decided on pizza for dinner but didn’t know where. This was a great time to adventure out of the normal delivery place and try something new. I came across this place on Unilocal,of course, and it seemed like people enjoyed it so I had to give it a try. It was super convenient I was able to order right from the Unilocal app using Eat24 (yay for avoiding any human interaction!)
Looking over the menu and reviews, we decided on two pizzas, the veggie and the super (everything the veggie plus pepperoni and sausage). They only have one size, 14″ large. We also got an order of cheesy breadsticks. This place is cheap. Cost only around $ 30 bucks for everything including the delivery fees and all that. The order took a little longer than I would like, only being 3 miles from the house, but this is a first world problem as I could easily have gotten my ass into the car and picked it up.
The pizza is fresh. All of the toppings were fresh, the sauce is slightly sweet and overall the pizza has a very «made at home» taste to it. It’s not bad. Plenty of cheese, good crust. My only thing is I like caramelized pieces of cheese (read burnt, browned) and would have liked to see the pizza’s cooked a tad bit longer. The breadsticks have mounds of cheese melted on them. I think the sauce is the true star. It’s chunky, sweet, and fresh.
Everyone in the fam enjoyed the pizza. We would get it again. It’s fresh, and easy on the wallet. Support local, give it a try!

Busy day? Craving pizza? On a budget?
If you answered yes to any of these questions than Papa Fresco’s is the place for you. I’ve driven past here a million times and have had it bookmarked. It’s a hard place to ignore because the front store window reads «Large Cheese Pizza $ 7.99!» I don’t know about you, but that caused some curiosity for me.
I’m not sure why, but pizza has been my food craving lately. And on the way home from a 12 hour work day (knowing I have at least 3 more hours of work to do), plus the fact that my husband is out of town… Yeah. A quick and cheap pizza it is.
I walked into the store and there were a few folks waiting for their food. I placed my order for a large cheese pizza in anticipation of having leftovers to take care of another thoughtless meal for my busy week. The guy behind the counter was friendly and efficient. He informed me my pizza would be ready in 8 minutes and it was!
Once I was home and dove into my cheesy carb dinner (extra workouts for me tomorrow) I knew I had made the right decision. For only $ 8 the size and flavor of this pizza was beyond what I expected! Totally hit the spot. Now, with that being said, is this the best pizza I’ve ever had? Well, no. But it sure is good, cheap, and prepared quickly. Exactly what I was looking for.

Delivery. Pizza was OK, a step above the chains. Boneless chicken was raw in the middle. Probably good for a quick slice on the run and thats about it. Was pretty inexpensive.

Omg Yuss. This pizza is awesome, cheap and close to me. So hopefully you’re close too and can enjoy all three amazing things about this place!

Been looking for a good, cheap pizza place near work for a while. I had been going to the Rosati’s on Ogden for $ 4.50 big slice & pop. After doing a Unilocal search, seeing the reviews on here, having $ 5 in my pocket, needing a quick lunch & knowing it’s 2 minutes from work, I thought I’d give it a try.
I walked in & the place was clean with 4 – 5 tables & a few patrons. I was having a greeted very quickly & nicely by the man at the counter. I had had a bad morning and had the hankering for a big olé fountain pop but no fountain pop machines here. Beverages are all served in bottles in the cooler on the wall. Having been denied my chance for a fountain pop, I ordered a slice of sausage & a water. Total cost for my lunch $ 3.30! Slices for lunch here are $ 2!
When ordering pizza by the slice for lunch, I’ve come to expect a big, thick, double dough-​ish slice of pizza teeming with grease. This was not that AT ALL. It was a thin, nice, crisp crust and the slice was about ¼ of a whole, store bought frozen pizza. The pizza was very tasty! The sausage was outstanding but I wish there were more of it on the slice. The cheese was a good blend of cheeses and not just your standard issue mozzarella. They also offer large, one topping pizzas for $ 7. You’re probably thinking that’s Little Caesars but it’s so much thinner & tastier. Let’s also face it: a large 1 topping pizza and pop here would be $ 9 or so. Bargain, given all the pricier lunch options in the area.
If I am to find fault at all with this place, there wasn’t quite enough meat on my pizza and there were no fountain pop machines. I will definitely be back though!

Alright so here is my first impression of this place. I seen reviews online and thought I give it a try. When I picked the pizza up I thought the box was empty and actully opened it to make sure there was a pizza inside. The pizza is very light as it is a thin pizza. The staff was very friendly. There is plenty of seating inside and it was nice and clean. The pizza tastes like a homemade pizza and kinda nice for a change if that’s what you are in the mood for. I will prob. be back when I’m in the mood for something different. Overall, I am satisfied.

This place is as good as it gets as far as value and customer service
I ordered the «party pack #1», which includes a large one topping pizza, 10 wings and a 2 liter of your choice and it only cost $ 16.99 plus tax. This isn’t Aurelio’s or Giordano’ quality, but it also isn’t Pizza Hut or Little Caesars quality either.
Papa Fresco’s makes a New York style pizza, which means thin crust, heavy on the cheese and light on the sauce and it’s cut like a pie, rather than square cut. Everything they use is fresh and quality. No skimping and no short cuts.
The customer service also exceeds expectations and the owner is very friendly and helpful, not to mention patient.
Highly recommended for those ordering a large number of pizzas

Just found out delivery is now an option! I’ve been here a ton and love everything from the pizza, to the sandwiches, to the fried foods (especially the wings). Now when I’m feeling too lazy to stop in and chat with the owner while my food is being made, I can simply have it delivered. I’ve had one delivery already and it took less than 30 minutes! Can’t beat that.

This is a thin crust pie. For a thin crust it’s quite chewy and pliable enough to fold (like your NY style pizza). I would prefer it a little more crispy, but make no mistake this is a good pie. His 14″ cheese for $ 6.99 is an insane offer, and you’d think you wouldn’t get a good pizza for so low a price. And you would be wrong, because it’s really good. It’s dine in (with only a few tables) and pick up only, which is a little bit of a bummer, but how far would you go for a good pie? They season the bottom of the crust ala Pepe’s and Sallies in New Haven, CT. Now those eatieries on Worcester St in New Haven are five star places. Papa Fresco’s is a four star Pizza, maybe the best in the Aurora/​Naperville area. Hey, he’s young. He’s got plenty of time to add another star. Enjoy the pie and the value while you can.

This place has been open for two weeks now, and I’ve been there 4 times to carry out a large pie and cheese bread sticks. So either I’m a bit obsessed, the food is great, or perhaps a little of both.
Their pizza is excellent. It’s thin, New York style and has a great flavor and consistency. What’s nice is that you can grab a slice in one hand and eat it without the topping falling off, and the cheese has an excellent flavor. My pet peeve, which does not apply to Papa Fresco’s, is when the cheese slides off after you take a bite, especially when hot.
The cheesy bread is also very good, and my wife likes ther salads.
It’s nice having this place nearby. The owner is super friendly and I really hope it does well. There have been other customers in line, dining in, and entering in afterward which is very promising.
Do yourself a favor and try a slice. How can you go wrong for $ 2? They also have combo deals.
I have not tried the italian beef or hot wings, but they’re on my list, if and when I get tired of having the pizza.

The perfect spot for a great pie cooked in an oven (no conveyer) at a truly affordable price. This stands up to any other thin crust pepperoni I’m accustom to paying over $ 10 for a small. I ordered a large 14″ pizza, as it’s their only size. I was going to just grab a slice but decided on the whole pie, which they didn’t have ready but knocked it out in record time. I will certainly try their other options when in the area.
Always good to see an independent family start up business and experience what their passion might be. It appears these are service minded owners and Daniel is very personable.
I find their pie very tasty as their dough is made fresh everyday, as is the sauce. They have several combo meal deals but just offers up cans or bottles of pop.

Papa Fresco’s offers solid thin crust pizza with each slice being about the size of my face. I don’t recommend putting the pizza against your face though.
The interior smells of cheese and love. It could use some décor or better tables and chairs to create any semblance of ambiance, but for a strip mall carry out pizza place, it’s really not necessary.
Normal people would love Papa Fresco’s for lunch or dinner but for me, it’s the perfect pre/​post dinner snack. If only it stayed open later into the night…

I just tried Papa Fresco’s on their opening day and I have to say I’m impressed. It is a small pizza place in a strip mall, mainly carryout, however they do have some tables. It is thin crust pizza and they cut it in triangles instead of Chicago style squares, so they get bonus points for that. The prices are very reasonable and the portion sizes are quite large. Staff was very friendly and for opening day they seemed pretty organized. I got a pepperoni pizza with some breadsticks and everything was great. The pizza had a ton of cheese on it and a generous helping of pepperoni. They have pizza by the slice and like Little Caesars they have pizzas ready for carryout. If you enjoy thin crust pizza it’s definitely worth checking this place out.
