Cape Cod Restaurant Review: Palio Pizzeria - best pizza on mid-Cape

We spent the long weekend in the Cape as we usually do in off season, working on our vacation rental homes (as is also usual :). This time it was finishing up painting of the living room in Bayview Getaway (it came out a lovely soft taupe color, with the kitchen backsplash and the backwall of the staircase a color of milk chocolate).

On the way off the Cape, we decided to stop for a late lunch. I had a thing for Italian but Alberto's on Main St seemed to be a bit of an overkill for a quick lunch, so we compromised on Palio Pizzeria. I have enjoyed their pizza in the summer - love the fact that one can sit outside, enjoying the pizza and a glass of nice Chianti, but was not sure they would be open in February. Not to worry - the restaurant was open and food was excellent as usual.

This Cape Cod restaurant is a great place if you are a fan of thin crust pizza - the pizzas are imaginative, well prepared, huge (small is 14", large is 18"), priced in a very wallet friendly fashion ($12.50 for small, $14.50 for large) and the service is always friendly.

The complete menu can be found here:

I have seen consistently good reviews for this restaurant on Chowhound and various area dining guides, so our positive experiences (we have eaten there 5 times so far) seem to be a rule, not an exception.

The location is particularly convenient if you are planning to take your kids to Ryan Family Amusement Arcade on Main St, or board one of the Duck Tours amphibian vehicles for 2 hours of fun - this Cape Cod restaurant is located right next door to these recreation options, and across from JFK Museum.

Palio Pizzeria is located at 435 Main Street in Hyannis, about a mile from our West Yarmouth vacation homes (you can walk by taking Bayview, cutting through hospital parking lot by taking Park St, and taking a left on Main St), and 2.2 miles from our Hyannis port vacation rental home (Old Town to Craigville Beach to Scudder to South St to Pearl St to Main St.).

Palio Pizzeria delivers, so if you are staying in the area and want an excellent pizza but do not want to bother leaving the home, call them up at 508-771-7004.
