Just discovered this gem. The pizza is very good and the garlic knots were different than what we were used too. The knots were not drowning in butter or garlic which I personally like but they were somewhat hard. I would have given it five stars but felt a little awkward when I wanted to get the special that they offer but you can only get it to go. They do not advertise this when u search their on-line menu. We decided to order something different so we could enjoy the feel of the pizzeria.

First time at this place and I walk in at 11:45 PM on a Tuesday and order a couple slices. The lady at the counter told me they had no slices available and that it would be 15 to 20 minutes before any would be available. The funny part is their specials were for slices and they had none at 1145pm???

They have good reviews on there Pizza so I going to give them a second chance for the pizza however the garlic medium wings were the worst I ever had in my life first the garlic did not stick to the wings were dry and over cooked and off flavor so I ate 3 of the six and tossed the rest as they were that bad. if you want good wings in the area buckets tavern with top notch and 60 cents each on certain days but they still fail on the garlic so the best place I been is press box as they know the trick to keep the garlic on the wing which most places seem to have no clue

Awesome little spot. The pizza place my wife and I usually go to closed recently so we tried this one out and I think we've found our new spot. The employees couldn't have been friendlier, the food was great (we tried the supreme pizza and also got a cannoli), and the atmosphere was very inviting and relaxing.

Friendly staff with the usual "Best NY Pizza in Tampa" mentality. I've tried quite a few different "NY Style" Pizzerias in the area and found them all to be the same really. So.. I got 2 slices- one cheese and one four cheese, and a drink. It was around $6 bucks I think which is a pretty good combo deal. Each slice was rather large, wide and a bit crispy. And yea, I ate them the "real way"- folded. I have to say that I enjoyed the cheese slice way more than the four cheese slice so I'll get two of the cheese next time. Oil was definitely dripping off the cheese, which I know some people love, but it makes the pizza pretty greasy. Four cheese was too cheesy (duh), yet not very flavorful. If I happen to be in the area again while craving pizza, I'll stop by.

I almost feel guilty giving this place 3 stars because the service was good. The guys were so sweet and accommodating. However, I've been on a hunt for a replacement to Bruno's in Westchase since it was sold close to 2 years ago. I have mellow mushroom, but I need a NY or Chi pizza nearby. The garlic knots were good. The sauce that came with the garlic knots were really good! The pizza wasn't stellar. I like my pie well done, but when trying out a new pizza place I do a straight order. This pizza was definitely under cooked, not enough sauce. I ended up dipping my pizza in the sauce they gave me with the garlic knots.

OK, I normally don't try to eat out for lunch but I needed to get away for a bit. I don't eat "commercialized" pizza as I really enjoy local pies instead. This place is really good for a quick bite and is really affordable with prices under $7.00 for pastas and under $6.00 for 2 huge slices of pizza and a drink! I love a rock solid crust and slice. The minute I folded my slcir and heard that crunch, I knew I was in for some good flavoring. Sauce was good and lite and good amount of toppings - a must try place!!

A place that knows how to make, and cook, a pizza! In South Tampa I have Paci's and now in Carollwood, I have Pannarano's. The pizza is thin and cooked to perfection with a little char on the bottom. I also had the chicken parm and it was juicy and crispy with that delicious marinara. The staff and owner were very friendly and made you feel very welcome. I'm glad this is close to work and I'll be back often!

I moved from NYC to Tampa back in June. I've found some good NY pizza places in this city so far, but Pannarano has to be the best. My wife and I went there last weekend and fell in love with their delicious pie. I'm so thrilled that this is down the street from where we live. If you want true NYC pizza then this is easily worth a 20 minute drive. I'm not one to give 5-star ratings easily, but they deserve it.

My husband drives by this place all the time and really wanted to try the pizza so this is where we ended up. It's a small place with an outdoor eating area which is really nice this time of year. You order your food at the counter and they bring it to you. There is a soda machine and one of those fancy iced tea machines with four different kinds of tea which my husband loves. The pizza was really good and after talking to the owner, I found out why. They make their own sauce and their own meatballs and use very fresh ingredients. We had the supreme pizza and the crust was thin and a little crunchy, just how I like it. The prices were about what you would expect them to be, $18.99 for a large supreme pizza. We took home half of ours so we'll get another meal out of it. Just for grins, I checked Yelp to see what others were saying about this place and caught the previous review stating the pizza was good but the owner was not. After having spoken to Steven (the owner) I had no idea what the reviewer could have been talking about. When we walked in, Steven took the time to talk to us and ask us where we were coming from and if we'd been to this place before. Turns out, he just bought the place about a month ago and was really enjoying being a restaurant owner after having been in the restaurant business in some capacity, working for others, for over 30 years. I asked Steven if he knew what was going on with the previous review and he said that this guy had the credit card contract with the previous owner and when he decided to go with a different company, he was pretty ticked, and posted the lousy review. What's funny is that even though he was mad at the owner, he still couldn't say that the pizza was bad so that speaks volumes. Anyway, give it a try and make up your own mind. We like restaurants with local owners who care about their product and their employees. Don't let a revenge review keep you from trying this great place!

The pizza was worth the 40 minute wait! Delicious The service was friendly and cordial. The guy at the cashier even asked me to provide me a drink free to mitigate the wait. Definitively my new pizza place!

Read about them in the Sunday section of the paper which spoke of Neapolitan style pizza. Expecting a VPN (Italian Certified) pie I was disappointed of course. It's not a bad pizza, just not what I was looking for. The crust was a little dense though I did enjoy the unleavened layer just below the sauce. The staff seemed like they were the owners so expect to be served like they actually care.

I really like this place but then they where bought out and didn't taste the same. Was very disappointed they didn't keep using the same ingredients that the prior owner used. It's decent but it used to be better

Great pizza, friendly enthusiastic owner. The sauce is freshly made, and the owner mentioned the lasagna and meatballs are also freshly made. So many apartments in the area, maybe he should hire a teenage to throw around some fliers. The place deserves to be jumpin'.

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations.

Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
