Piada Italian Street Food

Loved the food but the service was kinda slow. I love all of the different options for the pasta bowls as well as the salads. I definitely will be back to try different options. Whenever I need my pasta fix, this is my go to place!

I like coming here but I do think the prices are a little high. The selections are nice and the portions are good too.

Got very sick after eating here. Will NOT be eating here again, approach with caution.

Me and boyfriend walk into Piada tonight. it was our first time there. Not really knowing how to order. We look out of place. With customers walking in behind us, we let them cut in front of us. Customers were really nice helping us on how to order and what to order. So we move to the back of the line with our order in mind. The customer we were behind was a former employee and apparently dating the chef. She was very helpful. She must of told the chef it was our first time. He was very informative on what sauces and toppings to add to our pasta. As long as we been going out to eat I’ve never had anything like that happen. We were very grateful and appreciate. So about the food. It was very filling and so delicious. I order the the meatball and crispy chicken. There a as so much, I have lunch for tomorrow and possibly dinner. lol My bf had the calamari which he smash when he got home. I don’t know if he taste it, but he said it was very good. In all I would definitely recommend Piada to anyone who likes Italian food. The staff was very helpful also. Thank you to the chef again.

Very good.
Danielle and I had lunch today at Piada because I had a $ 9 credit. We’d been there before and thought it was ok but nothing special. i’m not sure what changed. maybe nothing. we both had something different than the first visit. anyway, lunch today was really good.
Danielle had the pasta carbonara and i had the Piada meatball w/​pasta. i chose the spicy diavolo sauce w/​some sauteed zucchini and mushrooms. the sauce had the perfect amount of warmth on both temperature and spicy. the meatball was also really good.
i also ordered a piada stick w/​pepperoni and cheese which was delicious. to be honest, i can’t wait to go back. i want it for lunch again tomorrow.

Quick, easy, tasty fast food. Much healthier than typical fast food, though. I don’t come here often because their prices are too high for what it is. Most menu items are around $ 8 for the regular size portion. I think the menu is very clear and understandable. There are a couple of ingredient combination choices on the menu, or you can choose to build you own salad, pasta or piada. Very straightforward. And every topping is visible as you go through the line to order, so there should be no confusion as to what you are getting. The portion sizes are pretty big, as long as you choose many items, and so far I havent been told that anything I wanted cost extra. A big plus in my book.
The interior atmosphere is really nice too. It’s got an upper scale feel to it and the place has always been clean every time I’ve been there. Parking is always available and usually the line to order isn’t long, at least at dinner time. They also have a nice little patio for outdoor dining in the summer!

Just ok food. Great idea not executed very well. Place is generic. Cold. But clean. Idea is great

Although I am totally confused by their menu, I simply walk up to the order taker and tell them I want a small pasta w/​the spicy sauce, sausage, grilled vegetables, sun dried tomatoes, red peppers and spinach, and then I have exactly what I want. Sometimes what I order comes with a grilled piece of flat bread, sometimes it doesn’t. I cannot figure out that deal but I don’t eat bread, ordinarily, so no biggie. In short, this is an inexpensive place to get fresh pasta with lots of fresh toppings. I love the food here – nothing fancy, probably most definitely not genuine Italian food, but heck, I love it. I’ve been here at least ten times and I’ve consistently gotten a very good pasta meal here and all for about $ 7.00 or $ 8.00. I don’t care to bother making pasta and buying all the fresh toppings at this price.

This place is amazing! It’s fresh, quick, and delicious Italian. I love the bowls. Make sure you try the pepperoni stick with the creamy Parmesan sauce. Also the lobster bisque and cannoli chips. We go here once a week, you will fall In love.

Yum I liked this place! It’s basically a chipotle for Italian «street food». I’m not really sure what that means but they offer wrap/​pita type sandwiches, salads and pasta. I made my own pasta and used the spicy sauce, so good. I will definitely be back.

Calamari is awesome! Everything is! The price point is kind of annoying, because everything is ala carte, they do not offer combos or meals. I guess it’s like chipotle in that sense, but I find myself spending over $ 10 anytime I go for lunch. Whatevs. It’s quick, healthy, and delicious, so it’s not going to be cheap

Piada… kind of like an italian chipotle…
you know… pick your pasta, sandwich, salad and then add on those toppings…
it’s a good option if you are needing some quick italian. the lobster bisque is pretty yummy in my opinion. not a lot of lobster of course, but hey what do you expect from a fast food venue?!
i think the options of choices are pretty good~lots to choose from.
however, i was not blown away.
cheap. quick. fresh. italian. that sums it up.

I absolutely love this place. I used to like the piadas, but have recently determined the pasta bowl is where it’s at. The portion is huge. I always have enough for an extra meal. My favorite is the meatball although that’s off the menu right now. I’m hoping for a comeback this fall/​winter. I get a vegetarian and load it with fresh veggies and the Parmesan sauce… yum!

I just paid $ 9 for some pasta and sauce, without all the free Olive Garden breadsticks, salad, or service. Awesome choice.
In all fairness though, Piada is not misleading us; they serve Italian street food. Although, it must be southern Italian food because I feel like I just got grifted…
Would rather spend my next $ 9 riding the RTA around.

Amazing food as always. Italian chipotle pretty much. Food is always fresh and very affordable. Whether you want a sandwich salad or pasta they have it… basil pesto is amazing!!!

I don’t mind stopping in every once on a while these days, after having most of the proteins. Usually, I get chicken or sausage. The meatball is just ok, as it has breadcrumbs and ricotta as the ingredients — I prefer less of the softening stuff and prefer it to be meatier, but whatever. The salmon is usually spot on and I enjoy that as well.
Not a fan at all of the steak. I recall trying it because it looked cooked to a perfect medium, but the texture of it was just awful. It was just way to rubbery and seemed cheap, if you will. It was borderline dog food and I was not at all into it. Other than that, the crispy chicken is bland and dry, and I avoid those.
Really disappointed to see that they no longer peel and cube the cucumbers. Instead they are just lazily sliced and quartered.
Biggest problem is how other people in line feel like they need to reach over the glass barrier and point to what they want. It’s disgusting. That’s why the glass is there in the first place!!! Can’t imagine how annoying it must be for a line-​worker having someone rudely reach over and point to various items.

It is not often that I like a side dish more than the main menu options, but one of the «street sides» is the main reason I even come to this establishment time and time again. The tomato basil soup is positively delicious. It’s creamy and thick and warms me right up. However, I was not pleased with the soup on my visit today
The soup was chunky and the taste was very much off and there was a layer of oil on top when I opened my soup lid as if it had been sitting for hours in that bowl. I hope that this isn’t some new recipe because I will find it hard to come back if this is the soup that I have to come back to.

As a pasta lover, I had high hopes for Piada. While the Piada stick was scrumptious, I was really disappointed with my pasta.
Angel hair pasta isn’t my favorite and I wasn’t in love with Piada’s parmesan alfredo sauce. Mix that with sub-​par chicken and you’ve got the Piada pasta street bowl.
On the bright side, I enjoyed Piada’s open and casual atmosphere.
Admittedly, I’ve only visited Piada once, so I may have to give it another try in the future. But for now, I’ll stick to Chipotle.

I was dubious when my friends wanted to eat dinner at the «Italian Chipotle». I hate waiting in long lines, especially for food. When I saw that the main features were carb– and dairy-​heavy (i.e., pasta and flatbread sandwiches), I was especially doubtful that my meal would be memorable.
I was totally wrong! I had one of the best salads ever! There were so many amazing, quality ingredients, I can’t even remember everything: greens, grilled mushrooms and zucchini, onions, sundried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, white beans, etc. there were also different cheeses and meats to choose from.
My friend got a pasta dish with a gigantic meatball that I was sort of coveting, and her husband ordered a giant portion of pesto chicken pasta that looked amazing as well. The people next to us had a side order of fried calimari, which is definitely going to be what I order next time.
Employees were super friendly and cool, and the prices were reasonable. My giant salad and a beverage was about $ 10.
I will definitely be back, and often.

I’m not really sure why it took us so long to get to this place since its about 2 minutes from home. Came for dinner on a Sunday and there was a line but it went really quickly.
I really liked the way they designed the place, nice clean lines, simple décor.
We ordered one vegetarian Piada and one chicken salad to share. The man at the stone very easily up-​sold us on an artichoke Piada stick.
The Piada wrap veggies tasted fresh and weren’t overcooked. The pomodoro sauce accompanied them nicely. The actual Piada wrap thin but also had a little crisp to it. It was surprisingly good! The salad — boy they pack a lot of ingredients into that bowl! The salad was large and also very fresh tasting. The Skinny Vin dressing was a nice touch and they didn’t overdress the salad. Chicken was nicely seasoned. And last, the artichoke piada stick — how can you go wrong with artichokes wrapped in cheesy goodness? Awesome.
$ 20 for the whole thing. Pretty comparable to other similar restaurants.
As a couple who frequents the Panera next-​door more than I’d like to admit, I think this will be a nice addition to the repertoire. I’m excited about this place! Yum!
