Best pizza in Paducah!

On 6/19/2025 Gary Ormsbee had this to say:
We’re from Oshkosh Wi , and come to Pizza By the Pound , every year we go to the Superman Celebration in Metropolis Illinois, which is just across the bridge from Paducah, Kentucky. It’s become a tradition because of the exceptional pizza , which is definitely a step up from the usual pizza places you’ll find in most cities. THIS SHOULD BE A STOP FOR EVERYONE! Now add the amazing wait staff , who make sure your experience is best it could possibly be, and we are always made to feel special every year . We come in late , after a long day at the Superman Celebration , and our waitress treats us like royalty. We always end up being the last ones out , and there’s never any complaints. Make this a habit if you’re in the area , you definitely won’t regret it, plus the price is right, and there’s pictures of the Elvis, Marilyn Monroe , and many other legends!

On 6/4/2025 Steven King had this to say:
I had a large custom cheeseburger pizza made with mayo added it was phenomenal. Inside you'll find a great air conditioned atmosphere reminiscent of a local tavern. Staff for super courteous and prompt. The walls were decorated with various memorabilia from prior decades. It's also a unique building with different rooms to explore. Definitely an amazing restaurant.
