“My first encounter with this gem happened during a routine Uber Eats pickup for calzones. The food displayed in the case looked incredibly appealing. While waiting for my order, I had the chance to watch the pizzaiolo expertly preparing food, and the care and attention to detail were evident. The aromas wafting from the kitchen were intoxicating, prompting me to grab a menu. Fast forward to last night, and the memory of that enticing smell and the promise of authentic Italian flavors led my husband and me to finally try their pizzas. Everything I had seen on my previous visit looked so fresh and inviting, and knowing they prided themselves on authentic Italian cuisine, we were eager to experience it ourselves. We decided on their white pizza, a choice that often highlights the quality of the cheese and crust, and we also ordered a side of their garlic knots, a classic Italian accompaniment. To enhance our meal, we added two sides of their marinara sauce and a garlic and olive oil dipping mix. Let me tell you, that marinara sauce is truly phenomenal! It had a rich, vibrant flavor that tasted homemade and authentic – not the generic, overly sweet kind you often find. We were also very impressed by the generosity of the toppings on the white pizza. They certainly weren't stingy, and each ingredient tasted fresh and flavorful, complementing the creamy ricotta and perfectly baked crust. The garlic knots were soft and fragrant, and the accompanying sauces were the perfect additions. We were both extremely pleased with our meal. We'll definitely be returning customers! On my next visit, I absolutely have to try their eggplant parmesan!“

“Best pizza place but you guys aren’t “NY Style” my Stromboli tasted like a hot pocket from Walmart which isn’t a bad thing it’s just if you were NY Style it would taste 5x better. I would know I’ve had authentic NY Style. Other than that still better than most“

“When we travel, we always try to find local places to eat. During our drive getting familiar with the area we stumbled upon the perfect place, Zarrella’s. We ate here twice during our stay in Melbourne and both times they did not disappoint! The first visit we had house salad and pizza…spot on and the atmosphere perfect! - I’m pretty sure this is the first place I’ve been that had almost the entire place singing Sweet Caroline 🥰 - The pizza, salad, and atmosphere took us back for a second time. I stepped out of the box and went with the Mahi Mahi special and my BF had a house salad and pizza…again…perfect!! Now we’re back in our hometown in OH wishing we had a Zarrella’s to visit.“

“Pizza was absolutely amazing and catching the Tuesday night deal made it an incredible value. The service was top tier, we so appreciated our server setting us up with complimentary garlic knots and making us feel at home after one of the worst weekends of my life. We appreciate y’all so much. Eat here y’all, you won’t regret it!“

“Just picked up my order, the shrimp Parmesan dinner, was just completely outstanding, the meatball Parmesan hero was out of this world, also had a pie a cheese pie that had so much cheese on it and I didn’t even ask for extra cheese, just fantastic.“

“Olivia is the kindest bartender/ waitress. We’ve been here several times but it’s beenn a while. As soon as we walked in she remembered what we drink, what we order and it was like time never went by in between visits. They make the best veggie pizza (I order no cheese and they always are kind to accommodate) Hands down the best pizza joint on the island! ❤️“

“Came here on for the first day of never ending pasta bowls when it was super busy. Our server Tanya was super kind and made sure we got everything we needed, checking in on us frequently even though it was packed. She made sure we had our meals and drinks to take home as well :) We will definitely be back“

“I came here tonight for dinner with my friend to celebrate my birthday. My two other girl friends actually surprised me with the help of the hostess. I had a wonderful time and the food was delicious. I just wanted to take the time to thank the hostess for being so sweet and helping in surprising me. Lovely girl. Lovely place. Will be back!“

“Great service and atmosphere. Bread is phenomenal. Sauce and pasta were great. Caesar dressing was not good. Very odd! Chicken parm was pounded too thin!“

“Botta Neapolitan 7500 Lake Andrew Dr. Viera, FL 32940 New Number 1 Pizza in Brevard. 5 Stars I don't know about you, but when I hear the word "Neapolitan," I think of two things: the first being ice cream, the second being Napoleon. The ice cream is legit, as the word stems from Naples, Italy. It means, in this case, ice cream from the city of Naples. Neapolitan, in general, refers to food and/or culture influenced by a city (founded by Greeks in the Neolithic period) that is one of the oldest continuously inhabited urban areas on the planet. Talk about history! Why does Napoleon come to mind as well? Other than similar phonemes, I don't have a clue. Upon research, and by that I mean Google Translate, Botta means blow as in to strike. In other words, this place serves up dishes that will knock the Naples into ya! Oof-da! Anna was my service pro for this meal and after dealing with Shemene the Mean, she was a breath of fresh air. She was so kind and helpful. I asked Anna for a Caprese salad (against my EIC's recommendation, as he says you should never order this in a restaurant), some meatballs, sauce, and bread, along with a Four Cheese Pie, and some iced tea with which to wash it all down. The back was hoppin' as much as Anna was, as my food was out in no time. I now refer you to the food pics. Starting with the starter, I dug into the Caprese salad. The Basil was fresh and delicious, the cheese was good; however, the tomatoes were a few days shy of being fully ripe. This was the only weakness found on the table, but I get ahead of myself. Moving on to the homemade meatballs, sauce and bread. This was outstanding. Everything was made in the back. The flavor of the meatballs hit my palate like Sonny beatin' Connie's husband on the stoop. Hard, fast and powerful. The sauce was complex, not too sweet, and bursting with the essence of the City of the Sun, that is, Naples, Italy. Not only is Naples known as the City of the Sun, but it is also known as the City of Pizza. This brings me to the final item on my taste buds, the Four Cheese Pizza. Naples is known for their thin-crust pizzas and fresh ingredients. Botta Neapolitan must have theirs shipped via the SR-71 Blackbird because this pizza was amazing! I have such a strong dislike for the bread and ketchup "New York" pizza that is so prevalent in Brevard. I also don't like the fried unleavened bread of Mister 01. This, however, was straight from the Pizza Godz. The crust was thin and flaky on the inside, and it was delicious. The sauce was complex, not too sweet, and... wait, I've covered the sauce. The cheese was freshly grated and piled high. If they aren't making their cheese in the back, it's the only thing missing. Because, wow. This might be the best Pizza I've ever had. That's saying a lot. I've had tons of pizza! I love pizza! Who doesn't? The Big Boy says, "I'm gonna go 5 Star regardless of the woefully under-ripe tomatoes. THIS IS OUTSTANDING FOOD and the new Numero Uno Big Boy Pizza Joint. Go. Go now."“

“Best place in town for Pizza and Chicken Wings. They also have KILLER Greek Salad. Stop by and tell them Kathy Bronzo sent you and you will get a hug from my hunky cousin Frank. Well just girls please“

“This is the best sbarro I have ever been to, and I have been to a bunch of sbarro’s all over the world. Every time I come here it’s always fresh, and the people that work here are the friendliest out of any other sbarro I’ve been too. There’s a reason I eat here 2x a week. The white ranch pizza is to die for!!!“

“Was tasty but pomadoro sauce is light large chunks of fresh tomatoes with garlic pieces olive oil and basil. I got meat sauce. Tried to tell waitress. She ignored me while racing around. Unfriendly nit personable. Meatballs good. Waited an hour for dinner. Too long. Pomadoro is what it is. Theyvshoukdcgetvtheircsauces correct. Was disappoibted“

“Since Piesanos opened I have loved occasionally ordering pizza from there. It tastes great and my family loves it. On October 25. We ordered a pizza from there and they accidentally made the initial pizza incorrectly. They proceeded to make another one and allowed me to take both pizzas home. When the new correct pizza was completed as I was leaving the restaurant I dropped the new pizza. I was mortified and felt terrible because they just made the new pizza for us and I totally messed it up. They graciously began to prepare another new pizza. I didn’t come prepared to pay for the pizza since it was ordered online and they were not expecting any payment. I did have a some cash and offered it as a tip. To my surprise the lady at the counter wouldn’t take it no matter how much I insisted. This experience was a true testament to the spectacular customer service you will get at Piesanos. I don’t leave reviews very often, but I believe they deserve praise how on awesome they are. The food is always wonderful, but it makes the experience so much better when the people are wonderful too! Ever looking for a place to order pizza I will always recommend Piesanos.“

“great food, and the owner is very nice, he always prepared something for you if you have some special diets great person.“

“Pizza Gallery and Grill has a great variety of food selection, always exceptional, and their service is top notch!“
