PieZano's Pizza& Pasta — Restaurant in Boca Raton

My family and I were in town and we stayed at the Boca Resort. My family wanted pizza and I googled some of the best pizza joints in the area. I gave this restaurant a try and let me say we’ve never felt so unwelcomed . I walked in went straight to the bar area and I personally greeted the bartender/waitress usually it should be the employee greeting the customer but me being who I am I greeted her first. I said “table for 3 please” she replied and said “you can sit wherever you want.” Not even a hello welcome, NOTHING! By that time my husband said he didn’t feel comfortable eating or spending his money in a place that wasn’t welcoming. As we proceeded to finding our own seats the customers were looking at us like we didn’t belong. It was just one of the weirdest encounters being that we are of the AFRICAN AMERICAN descent. As we waited for our waitress she then comes to our table with menus, placed them in front of us and then ask us what we want to drink. Not even a hello, is this your first time, or make any recommendations. By then this was strike 2. She proceeds to get the drink which took a while because she never came back but when we observed how she interacted with the other customers it was definitely a huge difference than how she interacted with us. My husband said “let’s go, I refuse to spend my money here” We got up and left and upon leaving he approached the waitress and some other workers who were behind the bar, he then tells them “to cancel the order for the drinks” The waitress who was on the phone at the time turns around looks at him and proceeds to turn her head back in the opposite direction. The other employees who were standing next to her said absolutely NOTHING! Not even a simple “was there an issue” they didn’t even care to ask. So when people talk about racism everyday but to actually live in it for that moment is very hurtful. I treat everyone with respect no matter the color of their skin or age but to have this experience in a city that I’m visiting...

Absolutely amazing house made eats. Went here for the first time with a social deal just to try it out. We got a Mediterraneo pizza and Gnocchi Letizia. The pizza had beautiful flavor from the peppers and artichoke on a fantastic not-too-thin crust with just the right amount of crispiness. The drizzle of basil pesto on top added a subtle but well appreciated flavor to the pizza. The gnocchi was delicious! A cheese gnocchi in a plum tomato sauce with fresh mozz and basil makes for one of the best pasta dishes I have ever had. The texture and flavor of the dish left me wishing the already large serving was even larger (even if I was already very full)! The tomato sauce, made in house, had an amazing flavor and aroma, there were hints of herbs and spices that were just the right amount, nothing was overpowering. I sat there for a few moments enjoying every drop of sauce left in the bowl, it was too good to waste. This dish also came with a couple garlic rolls which were also made in house and kicked the pants off of my previous favorite garlic rolls in Boca. The house made garlic sauce they brush on their house made rolls was so good I had to ask for a small dish of it to dip the pizza crust in. For dessert, they have numerous options and I was going to go for an ice cream topped cake. But the server told me that they make their cannoli in house, yet another item made on site. Now I am not a big fan of cannoli, I have had dozens of them throughout Boca and never truly enjoyed any of them. Until now. IT WAS SO GOOD. The filling was so creamy and flavorful. The shell so crisp and flavorful. The amount of flavor in this treat was well worth it.

Our experience was the best of any restaurant we have ever been to. Wonderful atmosphere, staff, and food. A second trip will be more than...

Alright yeah, here's the deal if you really want New York style pizza do not order from here. taste was okay ordered prosciutto and it was just tossed on top not crispy at all they do not make their own dough I ordered the Brooklyn mozzarella and they use a half a sheet pizza dough not your traditional circular style dough that is hand spun. They claim to be New York style but that is definitely not the case New York style pizza is thin and you should be able to fold it. That is definitely impossible when they use the Sheet pizza method. Ordering over the phone was definitely pleasant people are friendly. If I were to order pizza again I ABSOLUTELY would not order from here. I am finding that there are many pizza joints down here attempting to be New York style pizza very few of them have succeeded. Pizza is an ITALIAN art form. Not anyone can spin a pie. The woman that took my order didn't even understand the terminology for prosciutto, I had to pronounce the entire word. Which is fine it just goes to show that they are NOT New York...
