I am giving a 5 star rating due to delivering on what they are trying to do. The beer options were plentiful, many on draft. The salad was excellent. The pizza was the winner of the night. I ordered a small prosciutto, and it was excellent. The crust was crisp enough, the sauce was just right, and the prosciutto was well proportioned. Plus, it was very attractive! Service was good, it was quiet enough for me to do email and catch up from the day of travel. This was an easy walk from the Tru hotel.

Pappo's Pizza on Walnut Street is a great place to run in and grab a beer and pizza after a performance at one of the local theaters downtown. Interesting and consistent food, great salads, beer, wine available. Atmosphere is great for talking not too loud.

I don't give 5 stars often. This pizza had authentic toppings. Their Parmesean cheese was real! Our meat lover's thin crust pizza had an amazing taste. Their pizza sauce had a great combination of spices and tomatoes. And then above all that we had excellent service! Top Notch!

Don't waste your money! We went for lunch and had a salad and pizza. Asked for extra sauce and cheese. We were given the wrong salad and when replaced it had no dressing. The pizza had no sauce instead of extra and was less than so so.The bill was for $30 and when the change was returned out of $40 it was $2.00. I was so mad that I didn't bring it up and just left to never return ! The service was the worst we ever had and the servers were more interested in talking to each other than the customers.

So sorry! This doesn’t sound anything like the kind of service and product we typically are known for at PaPPo’s! Please get a hold of Darcy at the restaurant and she will make it right for you. Again, our apologies.!

Review of the pizza. The sauce is great, but not a fan of the crust. The pricing is ok. However, with all the pizza options in Springfield, this one is not the top of my list. I will go back, just not before some of my favorites.
Side note, sauce while food drowned out the toppings, which
seemed a bit skimpy.

Ordered takeout online which was a good experience. Received an email giving instructions for pickup and the time. Email said to park in pickup area and there wasn’t any such area. Then we were to call a number and that was incorrect. 15 minutes after the pizza was to be done, I was told the pizza stuck to the pan and they had to start over. It would be another 10 minutes. So 1/2 hour later we get our pizza. She gave me coupons for free cookies on next visit. I explained that I didn’t live anywhere near their locations but that didn’t matter. So I asked for the cookies now and was told that would take an additional 12 minutes. I just shook my head and left. The worst part was the pizza wasn’t even good. We ordered the BBQ Chicken pizza which we have had all over the country. We thought the KC BBQ sauce would make it better than normal but it wasn’t very good at all. Very disappointed.

We were visiting Springfield and decided to order pizza for delivery. The meat lovers from Pappo's was AMAZING! It was sooo good. We also ordered the garlic cheese bread and you will need to like a strong garlic taste in order to like this app. It was not for us. We will definitely eat at Pappo's again the next time we are in town!

Today was my first time eating there and as a former Chicagoan I didn’t expect much. Boy am I glad to be wrong. Everything was great, I had the lunch special, a personal pizza, salad, and a drink. The pizza crust was thin and crispy, the toppings were plentiful, and the sauce was just right! It was the best pizza I’ve had in Missouri! Our server was fast and friendly and the restaurant was clean. I’ll definitely be back.

If you the same old dreary pizza that every place in America offers then don't go to Pappo's. What you will find there are delicious and inventive pizzas that are generously outfitted with top quality toppings that routinely produce outstanding Italian fare.
No need to look for microscopic pieces of sausage or other ingredients. Generosity is the watch word at Pappo's.

So good we've become weekly regulars! Mackenzie and RJ provide consistently fantastic service. The pizza and atmosphere are both perfect. Try adding tomatoes and green olives to the thin crust deluxe. It's our favorite.

we enjoyed pizza and salad take out for the curbside during the time we had to stay home. It was easy to pick up, the service from the waiter that brought it to our car was nice. The food was hot and loved the salad. The dressing was in a separate container so it didn't get soggie. Glad that we can dine in but was glad to be able to get it for curbside.

Visiting from out of town it was after 11pm. Tried get Steak and Shake only because they're open 24 hours. But they said they were closed. Looked online and found that this pizza place was open. It wasn't far from where we were. The guy on the phone was very nice. When we arrived the great customer service continued.

I love this restaurant. Cold beer and delicious pizza! There are two locations. I’ve been to the downtown locations a few times. It maybe a little small but I love the atmosphere. Pizza is one of the best I have ever eaten!

I’m usually a fan of Pappo’s, but today that changed. We switched up the normal pizza and wings plan to try the sandwiches. My wife had the chicken Philly. I had the steak Philly. Neither of us were impressed. The cold bread made the sandwich warm at best. The chicken was heavy and overpowered with basil.
I’ll still give them a top rating for wings. But the sandwiches fell short.
