I had not been back in a while for no good reason. Came back for the BAKED RAVIOLI my kids favorite and treated myself to a GIANT SLICE OF PEPPERONI. Surprised the family with GARLIC KNOTS that blew us out of the water. My husband truly could not believe his mouth. My daughter literally closed her eyes eating the ravioli. And me? Well. Let’s just say the pizza was eaten before I even left (everyone else at home got takeout). The service is outstanding - I feel like it’s home and everyone who comes in knows the owner. Do yourself a flavor and head over as soon as possible. You won’t be disappointed.

The pizza is amazing! I always say if pizza is good it doesn't need any extra toppings, and this pizza is great! Also, had the sicilian pie last week and it was fantastic too! And, if you haven't tried the lasagna pizza yet, you're missing out. Get it, you'll thank me later!

We gave this pizzeria a try today and it have to say it does not hold is own to the others at this time. When I arrived to pick up my pizza the owner and only the owner was working the whole restaurant. I don't know why this is and will not speculate as to why but will only say that I found this highly irregular. Now for the pizza and sides. The pizza was mixed review worth at best. I found the carne pizza tasty and surprisingly less greasy than most others but my wife not so much on the taste part. She said the antipasta salad was good though. The Sicilian pizza was left wanting though. It had somewhat of a crispy bottom crust, probably would have been more so if it weren't for the bucket of grease running out of the box. In both pizza boxes their was no wax paper to keep the pizza from sticking to the box. The garlic knots were not garlic knots because he was out of garlic so I can't really fairly assess them. But I will say I loved the fried mushrooms and so did my kids.

Yummmmmm!! Can’t recommend Schiano’s enough! It was incredible - delicious food, made-to-order, served in giant portions, had a homey atmosphere (think authentic NYC pizzeria not Instagram hot spot, thank goodness), and the owner is super personable. I love that you can order a single slice and add toppings of your choosing…cheesy bread was kid-approved too! While we were dining in, there were multiple people stopping in for take-out or to have a quick lunch, and several commented that they stop in whenever they’re in the area. Note: because it’s made-to-order, it takes a few minutes to cook. If you are short on time or have antsy kiddos, call ahead. You won’t regret it!

Authentic and delicious, I just love coming to have a big slice of pizza (you can add any toppings of your choice) when I'm running errands and feel hungry, it hits the spot. I am obsessed with his Fettuccine Alfredo (I like to add chicken) it's always tasty. There's always something to watch on the big screen, it's nice and you feel like you are visiting a friend. I don't mind placing my plate in the designated area, no waitress is serving and honestly, I prefer it this way. If you are craving a NY-style slice 🍕 or authentic pasta this is your place.

Schiano’s Pizza is THE only pizza we buy. They have mastered their dough, balanced with sauce and generous toppings - Fantastic and highly recommend you get a slice or better yet, a whole pie!

Fantastic pizza. By the slice is hot, crispy and a delicious lunch. Full pies are also very satisfying and delicious. The Sicilian is a true gem- other Sicilian pies in the area are basically wonder bread with pizza toppings, but Schiano’s is the crispy, doughy flavorful Sicilian deep dish I remember from growing up in Jersey. GREAT food, friendly owner - Schiano’s is our #1 spot when we do pizza night in NC.
