Pie-zan's Home of Frankie Meatballs — Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE. I got extremely sick after eating one slice and a half of their pizza. I wasted 50 dollars as I had to throw out all of the food. I called to complain and got told well there was nothing they could do. I read other reviews of the food making them sick and of the quality going down hill. I should have listened, but I ordered from here before a long time ago so I thought I should be okay. The other reviews are right. I will never eat their food and I am extremely disappointed. I paid 50 dollars to throw up non stop. Thanks pizans. Real classy. FYI: I kept it for the next day thinking we'll maybe it was me that just felt sick that night. You never know. In the morning I took a bite and felt sick right away. I thought well maybe I can eat the crust. I tour off a piece and found long hair baked into the crust. I thought, no that can not be it, maybe I had it on my finger or something..still making excuses for what I was seeing ...I tour more and more pieces off and same thing...there was actually hair... Freaking hair baked into the pizza. That is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen or experienced.... Hair on and baked into the pizza. No wonder I felt so sick. This is the most disgusting thing I have ever experienced... How gross... How the heck do you bake hair into the pizza? They must not wash their hands or wear hair nets or gloves...and who knows what else. Eat here at your own risk. I am really gross out and disgusted. Edit.. I called them back to tell them I found food in the hair so they can be more careful and I got told sorry there is nothing we can do. We don't know what happened from the time it left here and got to you. I said well you need to make sure they are careful bc there should not be hair baked into the food. She said nothing I can do and then HUNG UP ON ME! I was expecting sorry about that, I will talk to the cooks... Not get hung up on. I was very polite and was expecting the same treatment back..which I did not have to be being that I got sick from their food and found hair baked into it... Gross. Tried to take picture, but it is hard to see in picture format bc most of them are small and look silver or blondish. Tiny curly black hairs and I found a lot of long white ones. Nasty. I am not the best at taking pictures. But look close at the pizza, lasagna and meatballs... There are a bunch of tiny silver or blonde and tiny curly black hairs all through it. Most of them are silver blondish and hard to capture and show bc they are so light. If you see some one with light hair or maybe even salt and pepper hair bc I found tiny black ones too.. cooking..walk in and walk right back out of the place bc your food will be full of their hair like mine was. I even scraped down to the bottom and ran my spoon throughout the food..still found many light white hairs..or maybe they are blonde. I would not even leave this review if the person I spoke to on the phone listened and made sure to speak to the cooks about it...or she could have even said we do our best here and that does not sound like it's an issue we have, but I will be sure to tell my manager and talk to the cooks about it. Even a simple statement would have made me feel better, but nope she hung up the phone in my ear and said don't bother us expecting us to comp you. I really wish I was better at taking pictures bc there are so many tiny white hairs..maybe I will upload a video. But my point is...

Easily one of the best pizza spots in Fort Lauderdale—hands down. Pie-Zan’s has that classic neighborhood pizzeria feel with quality that rivals any big-city slice. From the moment you walk in, the smell of fresh dough and garlic hits you in the best way. It’s cozy, no-frills, and exactly what you want when you’re craving something real.

I’ve been here a few times now and everything I’ve tried has been spot on. The New York-style pizza is thin, foldable, and has that perfect crispy-chewy crust. Sauce is flavorful, cheese is quality—not greasy—and they don’t skimp on toppings. Their white pizza is next level, and the meat lovers is loaded without being over the top.

They also do more than just pizza. I’ve had their garlic knots, wings, and a chicken parm sub, and all of it was delicious. Everything feels homemade and fresh, not frozen or rushed. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in what they’re putting out.

Service has always been solid—friendly staff, quick turnaround, and they’re great for both dine-in and takeout. Prices are super fair for the quality you’re getting too. Whether you’re a local or just in the area visiting the beach, Pie-Zan’s is definitely worth the stop. Comfort...

After immediately being asked to be put on a long hold, I ordered a large pie and garlic knots. Was told to give them 40 minutes. Went to pickup 45 minutes later. Waited in line behind two other customers about 15-20 minutes. When I got to the counter, I had to wait another 5 minutes before being helped while the only girl upfront answered the phone and took down and/or located other orders. When I told her my name, she went looking all over the kitchen and asking the cooks for my stuff, more calls were coming in, delivery drivers came back asking her where stuff was, etc. and then I was told I still had to wait for my garlic knots. I paid for everything while I was up there at the register and moved aside to wait done more. Ten minutes later, she tried to hand me someone else's pizza and my garlic knots! Poor thing! They had way too much going on in there for her to be the only one handling all that! The large half cheese/half pepperoni pizza and garlic knots I got from here were hardly worth the money and definitely not worth the time it took to get them! This was my first order from there and I was disappointed all...
