    Cheese pizza,  it was large so i cut this single slice in two
    Cheryl T.

    Google maps led me a little astray bit the restaurant is ready enough to find in the center of the strip mall. Parking is really easy. Upon entering, It was a little strange that when I went in to get my order the person at the front did not make any effort to get up and assist me. In any case another person came over relatively quickly to assist. We got a few thin crust cheese pizza slices. I found it to be saltier then I preferred. My kids gave it a 'meh'.

    Sausage

    Pizza is pretty ok. The sauce did not have too much character but the sausage was savory and good. I tried the pizza at a swim party held at the Gold Fish swim school next door. Must have been a party package deal being neighbor business in the same strip mall. The pizza was warm, not hot (can't blame the pizza authority for that), but I did see that it was sitting there on the counter for probably a half hour before we started into the pizza. Perhaps the Gold Fish swim could coordinate pizza timing a little better next time.

    Half sausage and half sausage/pepperoni/black olive/green pepper.

    The best thin crust option in the area (Lou's is still my favorite deep dish). They do not skimp on toppings at all like every other competitor around here, which is why I recommend you order your pizza well done (option is in drop-down menu during ordering process. Enjoy!

    I work nearby and get a slice for lunch once or twice a week. There are a lot of options nearby and CPA is definitely the best!

Never had to ask for a pizza box to be labeled before and never not asked if I wanted any condiments; especially on a large order. And the price...$23+ for a 14" two ingredient pizza. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: we were told that the large pizza serves 2-3 people...WRONG!!! If they are normal 30+ year olds, 4 people. 2-3 if they are teenagers. Had 5 leftover pizzas. Very disappointing. Would like to tell the owner this story....anyone know who the owner is?

The portions served are full portions even though the menu is prix fixe. We enjoyed the $45 menu option. We chose the burrata and calamari appetizers. Both were good although the breading on the calamari needed more seasoning. For main courses my husband ordered the gnocchi and I had a pizza. The gnocchi were very pillowy. The pizza was good but too many vegetables made the under crust soft requiring cutlery to eat it. We finished with the cannoli dessert option. The cannoli was good but the ricotta tasted like plain ricotta. The service was attentive and friendly and the dining room has a casual vibe. We enjoyed our meal and will return especially in warmer weather when I believe they have outdoor seating.

My family has dined here twice now and enjoyed both meals thoroughly. A full bar is stocked, and I've enjoyed a strong lemon drop martini here, as well as a glass of Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc. Dining area has about 18 tables, so it feels very intimate and cozy. The menu is posted on a large whiteboard and can change frequently. Favorites we've tried are the ravioli (filled with spinach, mushroom, whatever is offered) and chicken picatta. We don't leave with any leftovers. Entrees can range from $25-60 at moderate portion sizes, so it is a spendy meal but worth every penny. Warm bread and butter are served before dinner and the fried calamari is a crispy appetizer that hits the spot. To touch on post dinner... save room because that butter cake is one of our favorite desserts anywhere!! It is crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, served with gelato on top/side, whipped cream, and caramel and toasted pecans on our latest visit. Because there is no dessert menu (just what the waitstaff verbally tells you), here's what I can recall from it on our last visit last month: carrot cake, tiramisu, gelato, Oreo cake, banana chocolate chip cake, butter cake. Skip the Oreo cake. It tastes just like chocolate cake (a tasty one with a lovely crumb, just not reminiscent of Oreo at all) with a scoop of chocolate gelato on the side. Can't wait to return!

That alone should tell you how special it is. The Food: No matter what you order, it's consistently excellent. The artichokes are addictive--I could eat them nonstop. The branzino is perfection, cooked to a level that makes you forget every other fish you've ever had. The Atmosphere: Small, cozy, and charming. They've done a remarkable job maximizing the space without losing that intimate feel. It's the kind of place that feels like a secret you're lucky to know about. The Downside: They don't take reservations, which means the wait can be frustrating. Timing your visit is a bit of a gamble, but honestly, the food makes it worth it. The Service: Exactly what you'd expect from a team that's been doing this for decades--steady, reliable, no frills. The real highlight is the owner, who personally greets every table to make sure you're enjoying yourself. That kind of hospitality is rare and unforgettable. Final Verdict: Even if Italian food isn't your thing, this place will win you over. It's authentic, welcoming, and downright delicious. A true neighborhood treasure.

And sausage they chop up the mushrooms but they were fresh not canned which was a plus. Having worked in many pizza restaurants I do prefer fresh vegetables and not canned mushrooms so that was a plus. Decent cheese and sausage was pretty good. And Fairly plentiful it looked good tasted ok. Overall a decent pizza. I just moved to the area. My cousin who lives close to here said the pizza was only ok and he was correct only ok. Worth a try I guess. Large thin 2 topping was around $35. So reasonable price for a decent thin pizza. Worth a try if you're hungry. Way better than than a chain id am say. 8/10 probably. So give Pieros a try you won't be disappointed. Enjoy folks.
