Paulie Gee's

This place has the best vegan pizza we've ever had. The crust/dough is phenomenal--so good they have a unique item (the dough pillow, which can be vegan if you sub the butter for olive oil) so you can eat it by itself! We got the vegan ricotta, sausage and arugula pizza, which was amazing. The ricotta was particularly good. I can't believe they weren't packed at lunchtime on a Saturday! Bobby took care of us and was super attentive. We'll definitely be back!

Just an amazing meal. The pizza is to die for. Top 3 of all the margheritas we have had. And another (forgot the name) was just as good. A must-visit for sure.

Paulie Gee’s has the best vegan pizza in town IMHO and they have 3 pies for $45 on Wednesdays. Pictured. Jeb’s garden. Simply red. In ricotta da Vida. Vegan supreme

Probably the best pizza I've had outside the Northeast. The dough on both the round and square pizzas are top notch. There's a stark difference but they're both peak. Went for the Greenpointer to have the illusion of health on top of the stacked Cacio de Pepe and it was surprisingly good for an arugula topped pizza.

My daughter decided she wanted pizza tonite. We came to high street to the candy shop and rode by Paulie Gee’s and decided to stop. I AM SO HAPPY!!!! It was so nice inside, the service was amazing, and the pizza was AWESOME!!! Sarah was the best bartender everrr!!! Needless to say I am sitting outside Paulie Gee’s right now smashing this pizza 😂😂😂. Thanks Sarah for a great and wonderful first experience. We’ll be back very soon and we will tell EVERYONE we know to come here.

Loved my experience here, the service was amazing. We got the margarita pizza, I definitely recommend that one.

Finally tried Paulie Gee’s after quite a few folks have suggested it on our quest to find some great pizza in OH. Did NOT disappoint! The Square was phenomenal, flavour, quality, and texture all came together for a perfectly scrumptious slice. We also got the hellboywhite pizza, again fantastic and fresh ingredients… but it really was the pizza square that will keep me up at night till i get another!

The flavor and the pizza itself was some of the best I’ve ever had. The restaurant was a little dark for me and it was quite pricey for the amount of pizza you get. But, I would definitely come back here. I would highly recommend getting one of their thick ‘square’ pies and getting one with hot honey. It was heavenly!

Excellent pizza! Delicious Detroit style pizza that came out fast and hot. Great service too. Will go again!

Bathrooms are clean and the labels are great, you gotta go use them to see what I mean. Anyways Paulie Gee's is easily my favorite pizza in Columbus so far. Im personally a fan of their Neapolitan pizzas but they offer thick "squares" as well. The dough is soft and crunchy with the perfect amount of leopard spotting/ash without being burnt. I'm sure they use 00 Flour so I know it's quality! I love their sauce and cheese as well. The restaurant itself isn't too shabby, there's a lot of seating and a bar available as well. They have daily specials if you're dining in so look it up ahead of time, my friends and I went on the night that offered 3 pizzas for $45 total. Our waitress was great and the service was surprisingly fast. I can't wait to come back, overall 4.8/5

It's New Year's Eve and I'm kicking off the new year with some pizza! I'm giving this pizza spot another try. I ordered the Hellboy and Rickey Too. Fingers crossed they are good. I love the vibe tonight. They are playing oldies which was great while I waited for my pies to cook in their brick oven. Nothing like sitting in the dim lights and listening to Dancing Queen and Betty Davis Eyes. Even though I'm ordering to-go, my server was super friendly and helpful. I find it refreshing to encounter friendly servers. These pies hit the spot! The crust was so good. It had a nice bite and chew to it. The flavors were fresh and spot on. Glad I gave them a second chance.

D-licious! Daughter and I chose Paulie Gee's for an early-ish dinner on a Saturday. First time visit for me and I was impressed! We split a salad--Out Together and it was great. Very tasty pizza, chosen by daughter who ordered the Donna. The addition of the balsamic vinegar swizzled in top was excellent. We had bottled sodas to drink. Our waiter was super helpful. The restaurant was full but we got the last table without a wait. Cute "Italian restaurant " ambiance, a little dark but cozy and buzzing with conversations. Street parking for us. We lucked into a spot right in front but you may need to allocate a few minutes to find parking.

This place has he best vegan pizza in town tow hands down. Best bread. Wood oven cooked . Delicious vegan ricotta cheese and all the toppings. 10/10 and get there Wednesday's. They have 3 pizzas for $39

My friends recommend Pauli Gee's a few times, so I've been wanting to try it for a while now. We dined in on a Wednesday night, and there was a bit of a wait, but there are two small tables at the front of the restaurant that we were able to wait at. My friends and I ordered 3 pizzas for $39 because that was their special. It was definitely a deal! I love all the unique types of pizza, and they even have an option on the menu where the staff chooses what pizza you get! They also label some of the pizzas as "the staffs favorite" or the "chefs favorite", which is nice when you can't decide which to order! Can't wait to come back.

I have dined in and taken out at this restaurant and the pizza never disappoints! It takes me back to being in Italy which I love. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is so cute and drinks and wine are great! Service is good and they also have great HH specials weekly!

I wasn't a big fan of Pauline Gee there was something missing in the flavor for me. It wasn't horrible would try again.

We got the pepperoni and burrata pizza square pizza and it was amazing. Very expensive at $28 but also very good. I would suggest calling in and ordering because online the price for the same pizza was $32 for some reason. The pizza was thick and had the great crust. The toppings were delicious and plentiful. Everything just came together perfectly. Definitely check this place out if you're in the Short a North area

I had never gone to Paulie Gee's before, but it was recommended by my boss when I was in Columbus. I split the Donna, and it was probably the best pizza I've ever had in my life! The hot honey was such a good addition that I never would have considered. It was easily accessible from the hotel we were staying at as well! My only caveat was that our waitress was a little sparse. However, it was a weekend night so I totally understand.

Quality Pizza shop in the Short North. Great spot for a date and nice ambiance. Specials do not apply to carry out, but they have some great specials throughout the week.

I went to Paulie Gee's for the first time tonight but I e been to many other pizza places in Columbus before. I can co directly say this is the best pizza in Columbus. THE CRUST! Its chefs kiss perfect. It has good structure but also gives a little and has good ratio with toppings. Wood fired adds a delightful taste and crisp. One of the people I dined with got a deep dish and I was very impressed with this as well- super crispy cheese on the edges, and well incredible. I'm not sure if I'll do a deep dish or a traditional next time because they are both so good. The only criticism I'd say is we ordered the Caesar salad and it really was quite spicy and I didn't expect it. I wish they had more sides and maybe even a dessert menu but they do pizza extremely well so I'm glad they at least do that and offer a lot of variety in terms of toppings and crust type! I've heard to get the true deliciousness you should done in and not take this to go! I'll be thinking about this pizza for a long time!

Cesar salad was great. Kids liked the cheese pizza, but the "burnt" (it wasn't burnt, it's the coal fired) weirded them out... kids Supreme pizza, it was good. Vegan, ricotta, arugula and some fake meat... it was ok, definitely lacking. Needed something more flavorful over the arugula. Service was excellent. The host was exact on time for wait, called as he said. Emily was our server and she was awesome. Attentive, friendly, knowledgeable.

2nd time trying Paulie Gee's and it did not disappoint. Last time I was here, we got the Regina and the Cacio e Pepe square. The classic pizza is a very yummy thin crust pizza. The square pizza is pricey but worth it! So flavorful and crispy and cheesy. Although very greasy. This time, we tried the vegan pizzas--they were EXCELLENT! Would recommend both the Simply Red and the In Ricotta de Vegan. They were both very tasty and didn't have that gross "vegan cheese flavor" that some vegan foods have.

We walked in around 4:30pm on Friday and was seated right away! Their happy hour is great with $6 wine (huge pours), $8 cocktails and half off draft beers. We got Hellboy and their caesar salad to share and they were both amazing!!

If you're looking for a good happy hour spot, check out this hip pizza joint in the Short North. I came here with some coworkers and we enjoyed half off drinks drinks (M-F, 5-7), as well as daily specials. They have a wide variety of thin crust pizzas (serves 1-2) as well as thicker "squares" (serves 2-3). I have tried the Donna and Joe Peppito with Mike's Hot Honey and both were delicious. Service is good on weekdays. Weekends can be rushed and slow at times. Ambiance is chill and cozy with a bar sitting and casual dining vibe

So many people have told me this is a must try in the Short North and I finally made it. I'll describe Paulie Gee's as gourmet pizza with working adult prices. I love how they cook your pizza in a wood fired oven open for all to see. The crust reminds me of pizza that I've had in Brooklyn Heights. They serve quality toppings that actually cover the pizza. I opted for the Pep and Sausage square. Visually it was smaller than I was expecting at that price level, but the flavors made up for any indifference I had. The cheddar crust is perfect. Toppings are piled up, it's just tasty. We also ordered the Donna. Cooked perfectly for us. Both pizzas were excellent reheated the following day. Service was great. You can tell every employee is a team player. Parking is available at meters and nearby public parking areas.

More Columbus reviews on Instagram: @bets_eat Let's Talk: probably my favorite pizza in cbus and the 3 for 39 on Wednesday deal can't be beat. recommend looking at their other daily specials and taking advantage of their happy hour that ends at 7 so easily attainable too !! The service is super friendly and they don't take reservations. I did find that the service was not rushed per se but the waitress did check up on us to order as well as get the check / boxes when we were done to make sure that others could be seated. I wish we had more time to visit and chat but understandable with the deal and limited seating. Let's Eat: hellboy but add sausage : my all time fave the Donna soup baby: new on the menu and this gave me vodka sauce vibes ... SO good Let's Booze: spicy lil pickle: this was SOO good like a pickle margarita, a hint of pickle juice but sweet and salty. It was 10/10 Chili Smash: super smoky from the mezcal but the ginger beer was a nice acidic sweet add matcha-tini: not too sweet & refreshing

Not bad! Food was good and fast, service was friendly. Nice variety of pizzas at an affordable price point. Worth checking out.

Sat at an empty bar on a Tuesday where they have Happy Hour all day. Drink specials-no food (which I miss.) See their homepage for deets. Great time to sample the beer and cocktails. See photo of local Ohio draft beer list. Tyler was great--friendly, helpful, attentive. Everyone was. Pizza was an A+ brick over crust. Red pie was stellar; the Cacio e Pepe lacked flavor, compared to others in town. Still great quality. Split a pie with cheap drinks here on a Tuesday night then walk 12 minutes north to the Gateway Theater for Tuesday $5 movies for some summer savings. Great date night.

Ok, first timer. We ordered carry out. The lady on the phone who took our order was awesome. Turn time was ~30 mins. Had to wait a few mins at the bar for pick up but the service was great. The vibe of the place made me want to go back so much and I hadn't even had the pizza yet. Feels like a low key place, low lighting, and not just for the younger crowd. The pizza was amazing. The bacon add to a pickle pie made it so special. The ranch was top notch. The crust was perfect. Only thing that could have made it better would have been to eat jt there. Will be back!

Great pizza. I have only been to the Brooklyn, NY location one other time and was kind of disappointed. But we were in the area and wanted to try this location and it did not disappoint. You have to get the hellboy it is amazing hot soppresatta, fresh mozz, and mikes hot honey. We also got the Ricky too which was also really good, loved the ricotta and arugula. We got our pizzas for pickup, but it's a super fun retro hipster vibe inside.

Let me just start by saying: **this crust deserves its own fan club**. We're talking crispy, chewy perfection, like it spent a summer internship in Italy and came back with *serious* skills. I had the hellboy (because I'm a traditionalist) and another pizza with arugula (because I needed to feel like I made one responsible adult decision today). Both were fire. The Hot Soppressata was perfectly curled, like little savory meat bowls catching all the delicious grease (yes, please). The arugula pizza was like eating a salad on a cloud of dough--balance, people. And did I mention happy hour from 5-7? That means more drinks for less $$$, and if that's not the dream, I don't know what is. The only way this could get better is if Paulie himself came out and gave me a high-five, but alas, I'll settle for the pizza. Final verdict: 9.5/10, because no one is perfect, but this pizza comes close.

THE SQUARES ARE WHERE ITS AT!!!! The regular pizzas are amazing too, but by far the squares are the best of that style pizza I've ever had. They limit how many per table and for a good reason, and it's pricey but WORTH IT! Thursday's they have half off of bottles of wine and $20 squares. We got the pep and burrata square and the cacio e pepe square. 10/10!

Updating because I have tried a couple more pizzas now -- the cherry and prosciutto is so good!!! You would never think of cherries going on a pizza, but they did it right. When my friend ordered the pizza for some reason I was thinking it would be cherry tomatoes, but was totally not disappointed when I realized they were actually dried cherries instead. I also tried their caesar salad, which is served with whole romaine leaves and actually has some sort of pepper on it so it's a little spicy, which is awesome. It was probably one of my favorite caesar salads that I've ever had. And I love their martini and pickle cocktails. YUM. For a pizza spot, they actually have a great take on mixology, too. I definitely want to try the pickle pizza soon too because I am a pickle fanatic. On Tuesday nights they have happy hour all night which includes $8 cocktails. Dinner at Paulie Gees can get a little expensive so it's absolutely worth going on days when they have specials/hitting up happy hour between 4-6. I'll definitely be going to Paulie Gee's more often now that I've explored a little more of the menu. They've totally ruined me on all other pizzas.

So many vegetarian and vegan options!! The options are endless we had a hard time choosing! We got the cacio e Pepe, simple & red vegan and the vegan square. The square style is more crispy, Detroit, deep dish and the other 2 were regular wood fired. We def had leftovers but we had fun trying them all! My fave was the simple & red, their crushed tomatoes is so fresh. The cacio was very rich and creamy , so indulgent! Don't forget to get some hot honey on the side for an extra kick! Located in short north, there is a metered parking lot next door that takes Columbus parking app otherwise street parking. They don't take reservations so be prepared to put name down and get a call back. There are nearby bars in the area to wait at

Soooo good. Very expensive but honestly worth it. We got a pizza and two sides of ranch for $40, we did pick up but the dining room looked awesome and we definitely want to come back.

Overpriced hipster ridiculousness. The menu is incredibly limited. Literally all they have is pizza and salad. If you want bang for your buck and variety, go elsewhere. The server was nice though.

The must try pizza in Short North is definitely Paulie Gee's. Boasting a nice bar area and sit down table service this place stays busy. It has a nice neighborhood pizzeria feel to it. But they also stay on top of their customers. The kitchen is open so you can see them working hard on your pizza. The offer a traditional round pizza and a square pizza. The pizzas come with your choice of toppings or feel free to try one of their specialty pizzas. Tips to make your visit a success: 1) Don't forget the specials. They have daily specials Tuesday thru Thursday and Sunday that are definitely worth a try. They also have a happy hour special that includes $8 cocktails. 2) Wine with Pizza is a thing. Try a nice glass of Pinot Noir or Chardonnay with your pizza it pairs very well and they have a nice selection by the glass or bottle. Don't sleep on Paulie Gee's make stop and try some amazing food.

One of my all time faves for pizza. Staff are always nice, the place is cute with a lot to look at and food is yummy! I like to see what they have on draft when we visit. Usually a somewhat long wait for food, but nothing too crazy.

Paulie Gee's is officially my favorite pizza in Columbus. Both the wood fired round and deep dish are phenomenal - crust is flavorful, perfect texture with some nice chew, and all the pizzas seem to be topped with hot honey and/or a pile of arugula (best case scenario). This place can get busy, and almost every time I go there's a short wait, which is the perfect opportunity to have a beer and get pumped for the pizza experience about to go down. Also important to note: they have killer weekday happy hours!

This pizza joint will transform you to Brooklyn- from the tablecloths to the vibey bar area. And the pizza is absolutely delicious. We wanted to try one of their classic pizzas as well as the squares and both were made to perfection. From tasting high quality ingredients to the pizza being the perfect consistency this was a solid option any day of the week for a little fancier pizza night.

13 minutes - the time it took to devour a Hellboy pie. We also ordered a limoncello and old fashion. Parking: there's nearby paid parking for the short north area. Ambience: intimate indoor and bar seating with a view of the chicken. Service: awesome. Our server was extremely nice and attentive. He was also really chill and knowledgeable about the restaurant Quality: yall, this is the best pie we've had in Columbus to date. The cheese was fresh, the seasonings weren't overpowering, the crust was light and airy. Can't wait to try other pies there- we have a list :) Covid precautions: none for guests Price: reasonable. Also happy hour WED & THURS | 5PM - 7PM and FRIDAY | 4PM - 6PM Check this place out!!!

Simply the best pizza in Columbus, if not Ohio and United States. The Sunday deal is great along with their other weekday deals in this place is a go to of mine.

Good wood fire pizza offering. Had the crispy pepperoni as an appetizer. Was good with nice spicy pepperoni with hot honey and graded cheese. Not spectacular, but nice mix of flavors and unique. Coke is the Mexican bottled. It is ok, but a pricey way to enjoy a soft drink with pizza. Pizza was good. Service was good for speed, but not very personal. Restaurant is noisy when busy with no special atmosphere. Good place to go

Visiting Columbus Ohio from Las Vegas for work and i will say we have some amazing pizza spots in Vegas but my goodness the square pizzas at Paulie Gees is some of the best pizza i have ever had not THE best (that goes to Good Pie Las Vegas) but as someone who has been to over 50 pizza places from mom and pop to high end the pizza at Paulie Gees is exceptional. The astmosphere and service here is top tier as well i would reccomend this to anyone wether local or visting could not say enough good things about this place. 1 side note i am a big bourbon drinker and they had almost zero selection for bourbon but the craft beer this did have was quite good! Highly reccomend the hot honey.

Out of 7 of us, we ordered 7 pizzas (4 different types). We traded pieces to try all we wanted. Glad we did, they were all so good & drinks were great too. Service was great & friendly.

SO expensive. Loud. $18 salads with romaine lettuce and none of the ingredients. Warmish beer on tap. The pizza didn't gave the big rise because they overwork the dough. Decent flavor. Not Neapolitan. The deep dish/Detroit style was good, not great. Overall...eh

Very flavorful pizza! Enjoyed every bite of my pizza! The bartenders were friendly and provided great service. Loved the vibes of the restaurant

We were thrilled with the vegan options! Service was excellent and food was terrific!

We came on Wednesday, where they have their weekly pizza deal of 3 for $39. We got the Hellboy, the donna, and the vegan simple & red. all were delicious ! The vibes and ambiance are immaculate, perfect for a date night. Service is great too and very quick on the pizzas coming out of the oven as well. They also have a bar you can sit at for walk ins.

I had been looking forward to trying Paulie Gee's and unfortunately was really let down. To start, we got two salads and a pizza to go. The ceaser salad was terrible. I couldn't eat it and we threw it away. For the price, that stunk. I understand ceaser dressing has anchovies, and this is on the menu. But as soon as I took off the lid, my apartment reeked of fish. The fish taste was SO strong it felt like there were actual pieces of anchovies on the salad. Not good. The other salad was fine. The pizza was disappointing. The toppings slid off as soon as the pizza was picked up. They didn't have ranch either. I would think this is acceptable for a cheap easy pie on campus, but not for PG. I was sad to write this but I will not be back. I should've walked further to get DiCarlos.

Crust was great. The spicy sausage and pepperoni pizzas were both delicious. Good service. Would go again

This spot has been high on my list to try for a long time and my only regret is that we waited too LONG! The vibes are of your old school pizza joint but with an adult vibe and a bit of nostalgic memorabilia. We were sat is the coziest nook of a corner where I truly could sit all night sipping wine and eating pizza like the true queen of all of my daydreams! Our server Caitlin was delightful, engaging, knowledgeable and clearly loves food as much as we do! We opted for three Neapolitan pizzas since that was their special on a Wednesday night. This was a good strategy, especially for a first visit as all of the pizzas on the menu sounded amazing! We had the Timmy Too's which drew me in with the promise of post bake ricotta, the Cacio e Pepe (because what's better than one favorite meal but two combined and I didn't have to kill my bicep grating all of that delicious pecorino), and the Hellified Pork Belly. Truly the Cacio e Pepe is hands down one of the BEST pizzas I've ever had (and I've had many) but surely the best in Cbus. My husband loved the pork belly and about finished the whole thing off as he raved about it between bites. The chew of the crust was perfection with a perfect amount of char and the flavor combinations were delightful with an amazing ingredient quality. Don't miss out on this gem. We'll definitely be back!

Are you kidding me? HUGE pizza family- that has visited many places all throughout the country. Servers were on top of everything- I would put their square pizza up against anyone in the Nation. Ridiculously elite!

Sooo good, truly a hidden gem right in the heart of short north. We unknowingly arrived 15 minutes before closing and they still took us, but we didn't expect the best effort with it being closing time but this may have been THE best pizza I've had in Columbus! I'll be back for sure on my next visit!!!

Long WAIT time - we waited over an HOUR with a kid to get our pizza. Please get another oven, we were so excited to try the pizzas, but after waiting over an hour, our excitement had died along with our hunger. The pizza was decent, but the experience was no good! Please call ahead of time and see if they have the squares, they didn't have them today.

10/10!!! Best pizza I've ever had! My husband and I try to go as often as possible! 10/10!!! Best pizza I've ever had! My husband and I try to go as often as possible!
