DeFazio's Pizzeria — Restaurant in Collegedale

10/10, no notes. The BEST garlic knots and meatball sub I have ever had. This not your average pizza joint.

Fantastic service. Sweet little seating area. (4x 4-tops) I wish I had taken pictures, but with every item they brought out, I forgot until everything was gone. (That’s how you know it was good.) We are from Ohio and had no idea they had just opened. You would’ve never known. Food came out fast and fresh, and they know what’s up.

Buckle up for this one:

Up first - the garlic knots. Whatever seasoning/oil they brush them in is so flavorful, and they smother them in it. The knots themselves are fresh baked (we watched them being made) and crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. We were already sold.

Second up- the meatball sub. This was a recommendation of the wonderful woman who took our order. She said “I get it with two cheeses, and garlic butter on the bun.” And that’s exactly what we did. Absolutely perfect. Lots of flavor, the two cheeses made it unique, and the meatballs were so tender. It didn’t sit super heavy either. I’m a big meatball sub fan and wow, best one any of us have had. Before we left I asked the owner if he had a picture of the sub we had quickly devoured before being able to take a picture, and he kindly obliged, so that’s what you see here. Don’t forget to ask for both cheeses and the garlic butter on the bun.

Third up- Pizza, calzone, and chicken tenders. All were devoured by our group almost instantly. The parm garlic sauce was great for dipping. I didn’t have a piece of pizza but the rest in our group gave it a big thumbs up.

Fourth up - lemon crème cake and cannoli. Again, 10/10. The cream in the cannoli was perfect.

Overall, this was a review-worthy experience. Not something I throw around lightly. Thank you guys for helping us start our...

A Slice of Heaven @ Four Corners in Collegedale

There’s a new pizza spot in town, and it’s already winning hearts (and appetites). DeFazio’s Pizzeria isn’t just serving pizza—it’s serving up a full experience. The crust? Unreal. Crisp on the outside, soft and chewy inside, with that perfect golden finish that makes every bite a celebration. And the red sauce? Bold, tangy, and clearly crafted with care—no shortcuts, just rich tomato goodness that sings with every slice.

But the magic doesn’t stop at pizza. The wings are a knockout—crispy, saucy, and just the right amount of heat. Sandwiches are stacked and satisfying, with fresh ingredients and hearty portions. Salads? Fresh, vibrant, and far from an afterthought. And how could I get this far in my review and not mention the garlic knots… There’s truly something for everyone who walks through the door.

And yes, they’ve got the Veggie Supreme—loaded with garden-fresh toppings and a flavor profile that even our Adventist friends will rave about. It’s thoughtful, inclusive, and delicious.

The cherry on top? The staff. Friendly doesn’t even begin to cover it. They’re welcoming, attentive, and genuinely excited to share their food and their space. You walk in a stranger, and leave feeling like part of the family.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch, feeding a hungry crew, or just craving a slice that hits all the right notes—DeFazio’s Pizzeria is the place to be. Five...

I’m not sure where to start! We stopped by for the first time after baseball tonight. The service was immediately wonderful, the moment we walked in we realized this was a family establishment and they welcomed you in immediately. This husband and wife with their dough slinging team are fantastic!

We ordered: The OG Cheese, The blazing bird, a veggie supreme, and they made us a chicken bbq at my son’s request, we also ordered garlic knots and lemon pepper wings.

We had the knots first and then the wings. Both of them were OUTSTANDING! I am a foodie and these HIT the spot immediately! Then the pizza came out and when I say, this pizza outdoes the area in pizza, I’m not kidding. I have a few favorite pizza places and this very rapidly made its way to the top. I ate so fast I completely forgot to take food pictures! I will next time

We will be back!! Thank you for treating us like family!...
