Pannarano Pizza

Would give them –5 stars if I could! My co-​worker and I ordered from this place as delivery take-​out. The garlic knots were burnt and my spaghetti was literally a box of noodles with a small thick «plop» of tomato sauce and two meatballs — one being over cooked and the other not fully cooked. Worst Italian food I’ve ever had. Ragu or prego is more satisfying! Such a waste of money!

The pizza here is really good when the owner is working as is the service, when the owner is off, it’s a disaster, we ordered a pizza, the person that took our order was clearly ‘stoned’, we arrived, no pizza, so they made it, rushing, very disappointing as we try to support local family business’s.

TERRIBLE! Last Friday I ordered 3 different things for my coworkers (through grubhub) I received it over 2 hours later, and only 1 order was correct. I called the pizza place, and the manager lady picked up. She blamed the mixed up order on the grubhub driver (not knowing that the driver was still next to me). I passed the phone to the driver who told her politely that she has nothing to do with the food being mixed up. The manager yelled «f*cking b*tch» and hung up. The manager there is like an animal. She couldn’t take responsibility for packing the wrong food and disrespected the driver. Never ordering again!

I used to love this place. The new ownership is horrible! My first experience with them I was behind another customer and they let her use a coupon that was from the old ownership which was expected since the name of the place never changed.
After she left with her food they started to degrade her right in front of me which was just not right. I ordered my usual gyro for lunch and they never added the sauce and gave me the bottom of the bag for fries. This was basically fried little chunks of nothing.
I then asked where the ketchup was and the owner advised me people waste ketchup so gave me a dime drop in a container.
Needless to say these people are cheap, they do not care about the customer and I would rather spend my hard earned money on a 711 pizza. I wouldn’t buy a pizza from there if my life depended on it.

I love this place! Such friendly staff with a family approach to their customer service. I love coming in to grab some lunch or dinner and getting so much more. Great laughs and even better personalities… but most importantly the food is delicious. It stumbled upon this resturant a few months back and have been a regular ever since. So give it a try you will not be disappointed! See you there!!!

First time at this place and I walk in at 11:45 PM on a Tuesday and order a couple slices. The lady at the counter told me they had no slices available and that it would be 15 to 20 minutes before any would be available. The funny part is their specials were for slices and they had none at 1145pm???

They have good reviews on there Pizza so I going to give them a second chance for the pizza however the garlic medium wings were the worst I ever had in my life first the garlic did not stick to the wings were dry and over cooked and off flavor so I ate 3 of the six and tossed the rest as they were that bad.
if you want good wings in the area buckets tavern with top notch and 60 cents each on certain days but they still fail on the garlic so the best place I been is press box as they know the trick to keep the garlic on the wing which most places seem to have no clue

Just discovered this gem. The pizza is very good and the garlic knots were different than what we were used too. The knots were not drowning in butter or garlic which I personally like but they were somewhat hard. I would have given it five stars but felt a little awkward when I wanted to get the special that they offer but you can only get it to go. They do not advertise this when u search their on-​line menu. We decided to order something different so we could enjoy the feel of the pizzeria.

OK, I normally don’t try to eat out for lunch but I needed to get away for a bit. I don’t eat «commercialized» pizza as I really enjoy local pies instead. This place is really good for a quick bite and is really affordable with prices under $ 7.00 for pastas and under $ 6.00 for 2 huge slices of pizza and a drink!
I love a rock solid crust and slice. The minute I folded my slcir and heard that crunch, I knew I was in for some good flavoring. Sauce was good and lite and good amount of toppings — a must try place!

In town on business and found this place on Unilocal.Great pizza and the service was very personable. Will definitely return the next time I’m in town.

Awesome little spot. The pizza place my wife and I usually go to closed recently so we tried this one out and I think we’ve found our new spot. The employees couldn’t have been friendlier, the food was great (we tried the supreme pizza and also got a cannoli), and the atmosphere was very inviting and relaxing.

Friendly staff with the usual «Best NY Pizza in Tampa» mentality. I’ve tried quite a few different «NY Style» Pizzerias in the area and found them all to be the same really.
So. I got 2 slices– one cheese and one four cheese, and a drink. It was around $ 6 bucks I think which is a pretty good combo deal. Each slice was rather large, wide and a bit crispy. And yea, I ate them the «real way” — folded. I have to say that I enjoyed the cheese slice way more than the four cheese slice so I’ll get two of the cheese next time. Oil was definitely dripping off the cheese, which I know some people love, but it makes the pizza pretty greasy. Four cheese was too cheesy (duh), yet not very flavorful.
If I happen to be in the area again while craving pizza, I’ll stop by.

Very good pizza, plain and simple.

I almost feel guilty giving this place 3 stars because the service was good. The guys were so sweet and accommodating.
However, I’ve been on a hunt for a replacement to Bruno’s in Westchase since it was sold close to 2 years ago. I have mellow mushroom, but I need a NY or Chi pizza nearby.
The garlic knots were good. The sauce that came with the garlic knots were really good!
The pizza wasn’t stellar. I like my pie well done, but when trying out a new pizza place I do a straight order. This pizza was definitely under cooked, not enough sauce. I ended up dipping my pizza in the sauce they gave me with the garlic knots.

A place that knows how to make, and cook, a pizza! In South Tampa I have Paci’s and now in Carollwood, I have Pannarano’s. The pizza is thin and cooked to perfection with a little char on the bottom. I also had the chicken parm and it was juicy and crispy with that delicious marinara. The staff and owner were very friendly and made you feel very welcome. I’m glad this is close to work and I’ll be back often!

Great food. I haven’t been here for a while do to being out of state but it is better than ever!

LOVE garlicky, cheesy, tasty deliciousness! Kimberly salad for those watching their diet is a must! Calzone or Stromboli or any pizza for everyone else and those wanting a very good reason to break their diet! Great food, fast and friendly service, done in or enjoy their deck and this amazing weather before it gets too hot outside!

I moved from NYC to Tampa back in June. I’ve found some good NY pizza places in this city so far, but Pannarano has to be the best. My wife and I went there last weekend and fell in love with their delicious pie. I’m so thrilled that this is down the street from where we live. If you want true NYC pizza then this is easily worth a 20 minute drive.
I’m not one to give 5-​star ratings easily, but they deserve it.

The pizza was worth the 40 minute wait! Delicious The service was friendly and cordial. The guy at the cashier even asked me to provide me a drink free to mitigate the wait. Definitively my new pizza place!

My husband drives by this place all the time and really wanted to try the pizza so this is where we ended up. It’s a small place with an outdoor eating area which is really nice this time of year. You order your food at the counter and they bring it to you. There is a soda machine and one of those fancy iced tea machines with four different kinds of tea which my husband loves.
The pizza was really good and after talking to the owner, I found out why. They make their own sauce and their own meatballs and use very fresh ingredients. We had the supreme pizza and the crust was thin and a little crunchy, just how I like it. The prices were about what you would expect them to be, $ 18.99 for a large supreme pizza. We took home half of ours so we’ll get another meal out of it.
Just for grins, I checked Unilocal to see what others were saying about this place and caught the previous review stating the pizza was good but the owner was not. After having spoken to Steven (the owner) I had no idea what the reviewer could have been talking about. When we walked in, Steven took the time to talk to us and ask us where we were coming from and if we’d been to this place before. Turns out, he just bought the place about a month ago and was really enjoying being a restaurant owner after having been in the restaurant business in some capacity, working for others, for over 30 years.
I asked Steven if he knew what was going on with the previous review and he said that this guy had the credit card contract with the previous owner and when he decided to go with a different company, he was pretty ticked, and posted the lousy review. What’s funny is that even though he was mad at the owner, he still couldn’t say that the pizza was bad so that speaks volumes.
Anyway, give it a try and make up your own mind. We like restaurants with local owners who care about their product and their employees. Don’t let a revenge review keep you from trying this great place!
