The artisans of circular delight at Palio’s use fresh ingredients and minor sorcery to produce a roster of creative gourmet pizzas. Leafy greens jump-start the meal more effectively than hooking plates up to battery boosters, with selections such as the greek salad ($4.79), brimming with feta cheese and sun-dried tomatoes. Then, cooks prepare dough from scratch using high-protein, red-bran, spring-harvested wheat. Vine-ripened tomatoes of disturbingly perfect dimensions go into the all-natural marinara and pizza sauces, sharing pie space with other farm-fresh ingredients. The Palio’s vegetable pie ($15.99 for a large) flaunts bell peppers, mushrooms, and spinach, and the Hawaiian Sunrise ($15.99 for a large) pairs roasted cashews with pineapple, canadian bacon, and cheddar cheese.

Build your own pie atop a white, wheat, or gluten-free foundation ($10.49+ for a large), which can hoist more than 20 creative toppings ($1.30 on a large), such as fresh basil, sliced meatballs, and jalapeños. Soda-filled cups ($1.79) complement meals, helping to wash down any pepperoni desperately clinging to tongues for dear life. Diners can also opt to dig into pasta plates such as baked ziti or beef tortellini ($8.99).
