What diners say — our read

The 4.6-star average is misleading — almost nobody actually rated it that. Reviewers who mention front-of-house rate this place 5.0 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour. After that, freshness and temperature appears most often — 21% of the corpus, averaging 4.8.

Of the 24 rated reviews, 22 sit at four stars or better and 2 at two or below. The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (21 of 24). No one in this corpus comments on the state of the room at all.

Against that, the kitchen inspects well — an A (90/100), 3 intermediate and 1 basic violations at the most recent DBPR visit. The visit behind that grade was February 4, 2026. That puts it ahead of 40% of graded kitchens in Osceola County. For specifics, the last inspection cited employee health knowledge and single-service and single-use items.

Nothing here pulls in opposite directions — an unusually clean read. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

    The food was just sitting there. You were able to tell it was there for a while. When I got my plain cheese slice, it was burnt on the bottom.

    First time visiting this restaurant with my daughter. We loved the pizza! It's been years for my daughter to like pizza again and she said "this one is actually good" 💕 thank you!

    Great hole in the wall pizza joint. Very tasty sauce and great dough. We got a pepperoni pizza and they used the smaller pepperonis which I prefer. It was an unexpectedly great pizza. will definitely go again when we are back in town.

    First and foremost, I’d like to thank the owner for making us feel so welcome. From the moment we walked in, it felt like we were back home in NYC. The food was absolutely fantastic! The pizza was perfectly made, with a delicious crust and a beautifully crisp bottom. The wings were cooked to perfection—crispy on the edges and coated in a flavorful buffalo sauce that was absolutely delicious. And whatever you do, don’t skip the zeppoles at the end of your meal—they are the perfect sweet finish! Thank you again for the great food, warm hospitality, and wonderful experience. We’ll definitely be back!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Excellent pizza, fresh ingredients, and amazing flavor. Friendly staff, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely one of the best pizza places around. Highly recommend Pienezza!" 🍕⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    The young man at the front taking my order was speaking to me in a very unprofessional manner. I’ve never had an experience like this. I’m trying to place my order and he is fidgeting around with another female worker along side him and I felt as if I wasn’t seen right in front of them. It happened a couple of days ago I went in to order food and I almost left because he was talking to me like some sort of friend. I do not recommend and he should be taught correct manners.The 2 men making the pizza were doing great but I need more professionalism when it comes to someone taking my order!

    Been hunting for real NY style pizza since moving from Brooklyn in 2020. Caught a movie with the kids, spotted this spot next to the theater. Ordered a plain slice and two pepperoni and we fell in love with this pizzeria. Perfect sauce, quality cheese, amazing crust. The real deal.

    The most delicious pizza I ever had in Florida, the sauce is delicious, tons of flavors!! excellent Pizza I just Tried the cheese one is awesome but the Crazy Margherita is out of this world!!

  • June 8, 2026

    This is the best pizza I have found in central Florida! 10/10 recommend!

  • June 8, 2026

    Amazing pizza it's my all time favorite in Florida. It's the only place I'll order pizza from ever since I tried it.

  • June 8, 2026

    Best pizze in central Florida the buffet chicken pizza is insanely good.

  • June 6, 2026

    I only came because the people in the reviews swore this was comparable to NY pizza. Now, I know at this point to manage my expectations..However, im convinced this place is actually a front for a vampire hunting operation. There were actually several large chunks of garlic embedded into the slice that were not immediately noticeable 🤢. If the pizza had any flavor on its own I couldn't even tell. To clarify, the problem is not that the pizza had garlic on it but that the garlic was clearly not prepared correctly.

    Best Sicilian pizza , the sauce Excellent!!!

  • June 6, 2026

  • May 28, 2026

    Absolutely delicious! Service was outstanding, order made to perfection and food was above all expectations. Highly recommend this location if you’re looking for good pizza.

    Best Pizza ever! Ruined all other pizza for me! ❤️

  • May 21, 2026

    Excellent atmosphere and very good service from the staff, and the pizza was very good.

  • May 16, 2026

    It's a great small space that reminds me of New York for sure! The pizza and garlic rolls are great and for a good price! Definitely one of the contenders for the closest New York style pizza!

  • May 4, 2026

    recently tried Pienezza Pizza in the Loop at Hunters Creek and was seriously impressed. The ingredients taste fresh and high quality, and you can tell they care about what they’re serving. The owners are incredibly friendly and make you feel welcome right away. I live about 25 minutes away and still find it worth the drive—honestly wish they would open more locations. The pizza has that authentic Brooklyn-style flavor that’s hard to find around here. Definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to.

  • April 25, 2026

    Pizza was amazing. Would definitely recommend. This will be a go to next time I'm in Florida.

  • April 21, 2026

    This pace would be easily one of the best in the city. Don't forget thier farlic bread which is just yummmm.... Wish they had a bit more vegetarian options but I am happy with thier options right now. Highly recommned this place and yes the service was top notch as well.

  • April 16, 2026

    Forget best pizza in Orlando. This is some of the best pizza I have ever had. Pizza was absolutely delicious. It’s not often my children go to a new place and eat everything, but they ate the whole pizza. Definitely would recommend if you are here!

    The pizza and cannoli were so yummy! Top Tier!
