Amazing 5⭐️all the way!!! We walked into this place by accident but were greeted so warmly as if we were regulars. From the moment we stepped inside from our hostess Christine to the most kind accommodating, caring, wise, knowledgeable, young manager, Justin and ending with a fantastic waitress. They made us feel as if we were going out for a special occasion when it was just a last-minute walked into the wrong place. Wow they blew us away. The food was fantastic. The service was fantastic very rare to really get your moneys worth all around, don’t walk run to this place. Make a reservation because you don’t want to miss out thank you to the whole staff. I felt like I was celebrating an anniversary or something.Ari & Paul Bagari

Go if you're looking for a quick (literally) bite to eat, don’t mind wait staff asking (a few times) to clear your plate, enjoy multiple hovering workers ready to attend, rapid-fire, to your every need, and a center-of-the-room whirling dervish floor manager orchestrating it all. Don’t count on 90 minutes to eat, we got 50 minutes on a weekday night. We all agreed the food was tasty, but they didn’t give us any time to enjoy it.

We had a birthday party at Pazza and Anthony was great with helping us plan what to have for 20 kids (and 5 adults). Jose provided great service during the event. Many thanks!!

Definitely a pleasant place to eat every now and again. They have no in door waiting area so it gets very crowded by the door which I can see being an annoyance if you get a table next to the hostess. The food was delicious...the the wings and pizza for an appetizer came out well. The pizza was exceptional. Thin but had enough body to it that it felt satisfying and very crispy. You can tell it literally came right out of their oven. The lamb dish I order was one of the most tender dishes I've had there. The food is definitely cooked with individual care to each dish. That being said I can't give over 3 stars because of the portion to price ratio..As usual the Italian restaurant scene charges high prices for little food. I understand they have to make money of course...but some of the portions are small for what you are paying and that's why I mentioned you should come here every now and then and not often. Over all though great experience and Id definitely go back.

Would not go here again, host staff (older woman) was rude and not welcoming, server was annoyed we asked for an appetizer before putting in our whole order (it was 5:45 and not busy) and never brought my soda. Appetizer came out in 2 minutes, we ate it and sat there for a while, finally server came back, still no soda and was shocked that we wanted to leave.

Love Pazza! The Wood fired chicken wings are to die for and the fig balsamic pizza with prosciutto and arugula is messy and worth it.Parking: Limited spots in the front. More in the back.

Third time eating here and food is consistently well prepared and seasoned. Pastas are all fresh, sauce work velvety and salt is spot-on. Highly recommend the squid ink pasta. Pizza is thin and crispy, light enough that you could start with one as an appetizer. Lively place on weekends and would recommend reservations. Bring your own but if you need too, liquor store is across the street. Didn't realize there is a back entrance which is useful for more parking options.

This is my go to spot, living nearby I’m always down for a Pazza night. In the summer time I always sit outside bring a bottle of wine and just relax. They offer aqua panną which is important to me. Most importantly their pizza is top tier. The food is always prepared fresh and hot! I would recommend!

Best pizza in the area. Still upset the square pizza oven was never repaired as the square pizzas were the absolute best. Still good and love the consistent quality. Meatball and burrata apps are both excellent, salads are always good, as are the main entrees. For years now they are reliable and consistent. Mostly take out on our part, but from time to time we go in and have had good service.
