Not exactly a review but my wife and I enjoyed lunch there today. We were seated almost immediately at 1:00 PM. The restaurant was full and fully staffed. There’s also seating outside. The wait staff appeared knowledgeable and comfortable. Great selection of craft beer on draft. Wife had a personal pizza that was nicely done. Crust was thin but not paper thin. I had an “Italian Spicy Calzone” which was enough for two meals. In the NE, we might call it a Stromboli. It was solidly packed with Italian salami, pepperoni, mozzarella, banana peppers, red onion. If there was ricotta, it was not obvious. It was however delicious if not exactly my idea of a calzone. The calzone at Gio’s Deli is more accurate in this regard. We’d definitely return.

Thumbs up Really Good

We had lunch there today and it was very good. The service was excellent and the food was just as good. We will definitely go back. The menu had a lot of choices. Over heard one of the Owners say they have 14 resturants and they have been successful. We bought one of the Pizza's to bring home and see how they were. It was also excellent. Good to have an alternative Italian place to dine. A little drive from Lake Sumter or Spanish Springs but worth the effort.

We went for lunch yesterday to Piesano's and thought it was excellent! Great pizza, extensive menu, reasonable prices with generous portions, and top notch service. We'll definitely go back.

Default Piesanos - a winner in my book

I’ve had dinner twice at Piesanos. Once for pizza and once for lasagna.

Pizza: The best I’ve had in or near The Villages. Thin crust with fresh, tasty ingredients. I don’t know what “New York Pizza” tastes like, but I’ll bet the “New Yorkers” will like it.

Lasagna: This was the best I’ve ever had (except for that made by my wife). Each ingredient stood out as I ate the dish. Great flavors.

Both dinners were cooked perfectly. Strongly Recommend.

Went last Thursday at 3:45, I figured we beat the dinner crowd. I was wrong, we were given a beeper and waited about 10 minutes. Ordered one of their stone fired pizzas with pepperoni and green peppers. First they brought 3 buns that were just like pizza crust covered in white powder and dipping oil. They were good, but very rich and I didn't want to get too full. The pizza was excellent, much better than any of the three I had at the new Robertos. I'll probably go back for pizza, but won't order the pepperoni. They put way too many pepperoni slices, they were almost touching each other, and I could hardly see the green peppers. Next time, it will be green peppers only because I like them the best.

The waitress was excellent. I ordered a draft beer, which was the coldest I've had in TV and because I was going to the square. I didn't want to get ahead of myself, so I didn't order a second beer, but a Coke instead, and they didn't charge for the Coke, my wife did have a Coke and didn't order a refill, so maybe that's why.

I have read only positive reviews on the FB The Villages and Surrounding Area Restaurant Reviews page. Seems to be a winner.
