'''Pavlov’s Pizza''' was a Madison pizzeria that operated from 1991 to 2009, first downtown at [[119 West Mifflin Street|119 W. Mifflin St.]], a block off the Capitol Square, and from 1999 at [[1511 Williamson Street|1511 Williamson St.]] Until 1993 or 1994 it was called '''Pagliai's Pizza'''.

==History==
[[David Miller]] opened Pagliai's Pizza in late April 1991. Three weeks later it was already advertising itself as "No. 1 in the heart of Madison!" It offered dining in, carry-out and delivery downtown, and stayed open until 2 a.m.<ref name="ct-1991-05-18-p33">Rath, J. (1991, May 18). Cheap Eats: Pagliais Pizza. ''The Capital Times''. p. 33. Newspapers.com image [https://www.newspapers.com/image/519954972/ 519954972].</ref>

The name Pagliai's was still in use in April 1993<ref name="wsj-1993-04-12-p21">(1993, April 12). Help-wanted advertisement, drivers, Pagliai's Pizza, 119 W. Mifflin St. ''Wisconsin State Journal''. p. 21. Newspapers.com image [https://www.newspapers.com/image/406412817/ 406412817].</ref>. By July 1994 Miller held his licence as Pavlov's Pizza, at the same address<ref name="ct-1994-07-01-p18">(1994, July 1). Notice of public hearing on liquor and beer licence applications, July 1994. ''The Capital Times''. p. 18. Newspapers.com image [https://www.newspapers.com/image/519927365/ 519927365].</ref> and with the same telephone number. "Pavlov's opened in 1991 as Pagliai's, and while the name has changed, the pizza remains great", a columnist wrote that September<ref name="ct-1994-09-03-p42">Rath, J. (1994, September 3). "Pizza choices as varied as toppings." ''The Capital Times''. p. 42. Newspapers.com image [https://www.newspapers.com/image/521480603/ 521480603].</ref>. Why the name was changed has not been found.

In 1998 the building's owner, Don Hovde, cleared his tenants from the block for a high-rise he planned at West Mifflin and Fairchild streets. By October Pavlov's was the only one still operating, on a month-to-month lease<ref name="ct-1998-10-23-p1">Kalk, S. (1998, October 23).
