Amazing visit! This was our 1st time here & has been the best service we’ve had in a very long time. I was impressed, especially with young kids working. They all act mature & professional. Food was also great! I’m so glad it’s close to Fate, where we live. We will definitely be back. Great job !

The owner and his son were very nice and welcoming. The pizza was great! I had the meat deluxe, it was a thin crust, not too much sauce or cheese. It was well balanced. Definitely a thumbs up.

Great first-time experience at Palio’s Pizza in Royse City! Located in the Walmart parking lot across from Murphy’s gas station, this spot is clean, cool (AC was on!), and had delicious, fresh, gourmet food—we enjoyed everything we ordered. A couple of helpful notes for first-timers: • The front entrance can be confusing. Like others, we went to the left door by mistake—the right has a short wall and the door looks like part of the nail salon. A standalone “Welcome” sign with arrow could help new customers find the right entrance more easily. • The bathrooms were clean, but the women’s restroom door didn’t lock—not a huge issue but something to consider fixing, especially for parents with kids. This location is more of a “order at the counter, then sit or take it to go” setup, so it’s helpful to know what you want before walking in to avoid slowing down the line. Overall, we had a great time and will definitely be back—next time we’ll come in a little more “pro” about it.

First time visit. We both had the lunch special. Pizza/caesar salad and calzone/Hawaiian salad. Both were excellent. Hawaiian salad was delicious, lots of toppings and a raspberry vinegarette dressing. Pizza had a nice thin crust and no sauce, just the toppings ordered. Very tasty. The calzone is very good! We will be back to try the regular pizza.

This was the most amazing pizza I’ve ever had! The crust is divine! We got a half bbq chicken and half pepperoni/sausage. Ordered cinnamon rolls for dessert. These rolls are my new favorite!!! Will and his family are so kind and friendly! I highly recommend this to anyone traveling between Dallas and Texarkana! It’s our new go to stop!

Such a diverse menu with friendly, helpful staff. I'd never had a hawaiian pizza with craisins and cashews. It was delicious!! They also have gluten free and cauliflower crust. They happily made our small gluten free pizza with 1 half toppings for my husband and 1 half with my choice of toppings.

This place was open when everyone else was closed during ice days. I am so astonished on how friendly the owner and staff is. The food is amazing! We ordered the manicotti and Ralphies Specialty Pizza. For those that love alphredo pizza, this is your kind of pizza. They are not greedy on the meet! Big chunks of chicken, lots of bacon, ham, cheese and Alfredo sauce. Will come again! Highly recommend this place.

This place is a hidden gem! Everything I’ve ever had from there is soo good! The calzone has a buttery crust, the Greek bread is absolutely amazing and the baked ziti with Alfredo sauce is probably the only way I’ll ever eat baked ziti again! You won’t be disappointed for a lunch or dinner at Palio’s.
