The first Pagliacci Pizza location opened on February 19, 1979, at 4529 University Way in Seattle's University District. Over the years, this location underwent many face-lifts and remodeling changes until that location's closure in July 2018. The chain offers delivery, sit-down dining, and pizza by the slice bars. An interior decor staple for the local chain is Italian-language movie posters. On November 1, 2012, Pagliacci Pizza opened Seattle's first stand-alone LEED-certified pizzeria in the Madison Park neighborhood.[3]

Social presence edit

In recent years, Pagliacci Pizza has made an effort to be more eco-friendly, using compostable boxes and packaging, and purchasing green-power offsets from Seattle City Light and Puget Sound Energy.[4] Since 2011, Pagliacci Pizza's boxes have been made using materials from Forest Stewardship Council-certified local forests and post-consumer recycled fiber.[5] The chain's Wallingford,[6] Madison Park[7] and Old Bellevue[8] locations were built using sustainably-sourced materials.[citation needed]
