This month, many duPont Manual High School students have dined at the new location of Papalinos New York Pizzeria, one block away from Manual at Cardinal Towne. 

Papalinos was named “#1 readers’ choice best pizza” in Louisville by the LEO for the second year in a row.

Many students have been going to Papalinos after school. “Papalinos is really convinent because it’s close to school, so it’s nice,” said Ezekiel Smith (10). 

“I thought their prices were fairly reasonable. Their serving sizes were big too,” said Kevin Maloney (12).  

“It’s really greasy, but it’s good,” said Garrett Oberst (12).

Papalinos, which now has two locations at 949 Baxter Avenue and 337 West Cardinal Boulevard, was created in 2010 by Allan Rosenberg and John Browne. Papalinos sells pizza by the slice for $3, meat toppings are $0.75 each, and veggie toppings are $0.50 each. The restaurant opens at 11 a.m. every day and closes before midnight from Wednesday to Saturday.
