Had a large ultra thin crust with ham, pineapple and mushrooms. There was not enough cheese for sure and the center half was not crisp at all.

Back to the topic we’ve eaten at both Piesano’s locations in Ocala. First time we had meals that were very good. The next time our friend who lives in On Top of The World ordered 3 pizzas with a variety of toppings for a group of us and we all loved the pizza, probably the best we’ve had in Florida.

I am surprised by the near unanimous accolades for Paisano's pizza. I have had their take out pizza three times. Granted the cardboard sucks some of the moisture out, but all three times I felt there was a shortage of cheese, sauce, the pizza was dry, crust was more chewy than average and their ingredients did not extend close enough to the perimeter of the pizza. There is no comparison to a Stavros pizza, good to the last bite.

We've ordered out from there two or three times now--pizza (twice, I think) and some appetizers. Service is great, staff very friendly! Pizza good, though not as good as Flippers in our opinion (just our opinion!) The appetizers were a bit disappointing, but maybe because we did them as takeout. Might have been better if we'd eaten there. We'll certainly give it another try and try other things on the menu. Seems like a fun place!

What does Paesano mean in English?

What does paesano mean in Italian?

Not at all impressed with this pizza. Not enough cheese or toppings for the price. Don't need to go back...

Lots of good reviews.

Have not been there, but looking forward to it.

Thanks for all the early-bird reviews

Real Italian pizza is not drowned in cheese and sauce. That's American pizza.

I agree. My biggest issue with most pizza is that it usually has way too much cheese.

We tried take-out from Piesanos Sunday night. It was not great, in my opinion. While it, as others have stated, may be a more authentic Italian pizza, I did not care for it because I prefer more sauce and cheese. But, that is what threads like this are all about; describing the food so others will know if it suits their taste or not. Personally, I like Flippers pizza much more.

I need to try some of Piesanos other offerings.

Being from NJ and have been searching for my style of pizza since my wife and I arrived here five years ago. Went to Piesanos last week. FINALLY FOUND MY PIZZA. Its our opinion that we have found the best pizza we have had anywhere here in Central Florida. Will be visiting frequently!
