What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable rave about the “authentic taste of Italy,” calling the crust “perfectly crisp and chewy,” and the toppings “fresh and flavorful.” Many mention the “friendly staff” and “quick service,” making it ideal for tight concert schedules. Guests love the cozy, unpretentious space and the fact that it’s “easy to get in and out” even on busy nights.

Areas for Improvement

A few diners have mentioned that the seating area is small, so it can feel tight during peak hours. While Pazzi doesn’t take reservations, the turnover is fairly quick. Also, gluten-free options are limited, which might be a downside for those with dietary restrictions.
