Folks know Paxti’s Pizza best for its classic deep-dish pizza and warm, friendly atmosphere. This Lafayette pizzeria offers a casual dining experience to those seeking authentic Chicago-style pies.

Savory ingredients and thick, airy dough come together on a wooden paddle, which carefully slides each pizza into their brick oven. Visitors say the crust alone here is worthy of a five-star restaurant, the meat pizzas come loaded, and the pizza sizes are perfect for sharing with two to three others. With a peaceful outdoor patio and a bright, spacious indoor dining area, Paxti’s Pizza is the ultimate spot for those craving pizza so thick that it requires a fork and knife to eat!

Paxti's is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
