Update: I walked in and sat down. Noone even greeted me. Ive sat here for like ten minutes now. Noone has came to my table. No wonder they are closing. When I walked outside, the worker came out carrying a plant. I asked and she said when they have only one person up front you have to order at the counter. She could have easily taken my order. I go to a restaurant to be served, for the entire experience. Not to serve myself. This is ridiculous. You'd rather carry plants outside than serve a customer. Nuts. Lol.
They have the best pizza I have ever tasted. I can't find words to describe it.

Update Ocrober 24, 2024.....Unfortunately, Bessolo is now closed. The good news is that Dan, the owner, has intention to reopen an abbreviated version of Bessolo inside his Kiggins Theater location. Great food experience served by friendly and efficient staff. Bessolo Pizza at the site of the former Vinnies is located along the lower Main St. strip. While this is not a "first-date impress me venue," the location is convenient and functional. My order was taken promptly, and selections were explained. I ordered a small garden salad and a LARGE strombolli. The salad came out first and was very fr esh and large enough for both of us to share. Excellent! The strombolli ( new to me ) came out in about 10-15 minutes. It needed to be made fresh and then baked ---sort of like a pizza. The stombolli , large size , was a monster--huge! Layered with meats and cheese and a slathering of mustard, the strombolli is then baked to a golden browned and served hot. The flavor was superb. The gooey cheeses blended with the meats with the funky warm mustard inside, adding an interesting and tasty twist. The amount was over the to-p--enough to take more than half back home for a midnight snack or 2 or 3! Prices were reasonable and represented good value. Handicap doable. Final take--Excellent and highly recommended . My best recommendation is that I will be back sooner rather than later.

First time in here. So in all fairness, the A/C was not working, it was a hot day, so there was a portable unit right inside the door, it was still hot in there, and loud. I felt bad for the servers. The pizza was good. We did get a pasta dish to try, however, the noodles were way over cooked which really ruined the whole dish, I think they were pre cooked, then reheated, not good, suggest they cook to order all the pasta dishes. All the workers seemed like they were just done and wanted to go home. It was just an ok experience. We will probably go back and try the calzone, it looked really good.
Ate here tonight with a buddy. Dan the owner is very personable and he also owns Kiggins across the street. I asked him what's great and he suggested the Stromboli. Honestly I've never tried that before and I'm so glad I did! It was totally incredible. I ate the whole thing! I could tell Dan was impressed. Try this place and give the Stromboli a shot... You will love it!

The place is situated in a nice part of the city. I first heard about it from a coworker to whom I had expressed my frustration with the lack of good pizza options nearby. So, last year, I decided to give it a try. While the staff was friendly and attentive, what truly mattered to me was the quality of the food. When I ordered a large cheese pizza, I was initially impressed by the generous portion size and pleased with the taste.
However, over the past year, I have noticed a lack of consistency in both the food quality and portion sizes. Most recently, when I ordered my usual large cheese pizza, I was shocked to find the portion significantly smaller than before. This discrepancy upset me greatly, as I felt it was unfair to pay the same price for less. In response, I promptly returned to the store, requested a refund, and left the pizza behind. The attendant apologized for the mistake and took immediate action to make amends. They ordered me a new large cheese pizza and returned my money, demonstrating their commitment to ensuring customer satisfaction and making things right.

This is my new favorite pizza place. The GF crust was perfectly crunchy/chewy and the toppings were high quality. I got my pizza to go, but I would definitely go back and sit in the restaurant, it had a nice, classy, romantic ambiance. Lastly, it was affordablly priced.
Update: I walked in and sat down. Noone even greeted me. Ive sat here for like ten minutes now. Noone has came to my table. No wonder they are closing.
