Nardonnes La Famiglia Pizzeria

Best pizza in town hands-​down. It’s not dominoes they do deliver and it takes 30 to 45 minutes for it to be ready but worth the wait.

They make excellent pizza. Ordered a large all meats pizza. The meatballs have a really delicious flavor/​spice to them. So yummy! And the cheese is like the kind you see in the movies where it’s all nice and stringy as you pull it apart and bite into it. So good! Dined in when most take out so the dining area was nice and quiet. Would definite come here again.

It is amazing place! The people are amazing! I am always presented with great service and entertained the sports on the TV. I am always satisfied with orgasmic food! The calzones are big and full! I just love coming here!

We stopped here on our way to the Central Coast for dinner. This restaurant was highly recommended by family members and friends. Apparently we came at the wrong time, during the dinner rush on a Friday night.
When we first told the waitress we were eating there she gave us a look that basically said «why is someone eating at the restaurant on a Friday night». It wasn’t very friendly, but we weren’t going to let that ruin our experience.
She said it would take anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes to get a pizza out and that she would try to fit us in sooner. So we went ahead and ordered.
The pizza was fantastic, probably one of the top five pizzas I’ve ever eaten. The pizza was cut uniquely into squares and our pizza came with a huge sausage on every square. The sausage was fantastic and would’ve been wonderful to eat on its own. They use a generous amount of high-​quality cheese as well.
I would recommend anyone in the area eat here, but, if you’re doing it on a Friday or Saturday night I would definitely order ahead.

You can get ‘corporate pizza’ at every turn. But when you place an order at Nardonnes La Famiglia Pizzeria… It’s like asking your parents when dinner is going to be ready. It may take an hour, but the rewards are worth the wait!
A complete dive looking place, Don’t let that fool you. Outstanding!
5 stars across the board.

Well I have not updated my review for my favorite pizza in a few years, and Here is the story. Nardonnes is still the best pizza in town, and for me the best for 100 miles1 Order the pizza with extra sauce and it is perfect. I love a thicker crust pizza and enough cheese so the toppings are mostly covered. Add in the hard working, consistently producing staff, and well you get great pizza. Come in have a beer and wait for the pie to cook, to eat at Nardonnes or to take home. At our place all agree, Nardonnes is the best.

I love this place.
pizza is so bomb. i haven’t found any other pizza place that can top this place. besides planet pizza that was closed in Los Osos many years ago… Nardonnes will put a thick blanket of cheese over their pies, i love it.
the Nardonnes pizza in Los Osos does not even compare to this place. the difference in the za is so huge that they shouldn’t even be able to use the name Nardonnes.

This is my favorite pizza place ever! Yum yum yum. Can’t say enough good things. The toppings are fresh and plentiful and the sauce is pure perfection. The crust is thick and fills you up. The only problem is that they don’t deliver.

Nardonne’s pizza is the best. There’s not a lot of variety, though, and eating in their place is not all that attractive. And they don’t deliver. For take-​home pizza, though, it is outstanding.

Love this pizza. It was great! Have had it as a to go but today dined in and enjoyed a beer with the pizza. Choose the chicken, bacon, jalapeño with white sauce. Choose the thinner crust so it wasn’t so much bread. All I can say is LOVE LOVE the pizza here. It is Great! People here are nice & friendly and will help you with whatever you need. Also recommended the wings which we tried and they were good. Oven baked so they take 20 min. But they come out hot and crispy!

I tried this pizza place recently because a lot of people were saying this was the best pizza in town. I was so skeptic because of the pictures on here (didn’t look so pleasing) then once I opened our pizza box the pizza was cut into squares, that’s where it goes wrong. The dough is too thick to cut pizza into squares. Give customers an option at least. And the worst part of the pizza was the taste of rosemary. I never heard anyone add Rosemary to pizza? Or maybe this is just way too much Rosemary. If the Rosemary wasn’t there then I wouldn’t mind the pizza. I’m actually disappointed. I’m from Southern California so I’ve had my fair share in pizzas.

1^st visit. My experience went like this… I walked in close to 1 hour after they opened. Only one other guest was seated. The first thing I noticed was the giant web that nearly attacked me as I walked in the front door. I kept going the décor is old dusty bottles on the wall wooden floors with remnants from previous guests that had not been swept since I don’t know when. And wobbly wooden chairs give this place an «Old» western feel. The staff’s warm greeting invited us in. So we stayed ordered a couple of pizza’s, that took a little longer than expected (20+min) considering they did not seem busy. The drinks are cans, no fountain. I think I seen a keg so perhaps beer on tap :) might of seen 805 ;). The pizza was delicious (5 stars), reminds me of pizza I ate in Connecticut. I won’t assume but maybe if I ordered the thin crust maybe a close second to NY. I wish I could give this place a better rating but I was really taken back by how unkept the place was and was thinking if I owned this place I would have the staff cleaning when not busy and definitely before opening. Overall I would order again but most likely for take out.

Quite possibly the best pizza I’ve ever had. I love their veggie and always add jalapenos. Their large is huge and priced nicely.

I’ve always loved Nardonnes Pizza but the other day I ordered a pizza and the guy I spoke to was quite rude and didn’t really care to much. He informed me that it would be about 30 mins. When I arrived he looked around for my pizza and realized that he didn’t even make it. He told me he didn’t have any more dough to make more pizza either. I was polite because sometimes people make mistakes. He took down my info and told me that someone would call me. (.5/​5stars)
Two days later and no phone calls. I called and spoke with a women who was sympathetic and offered me a 50% discount and told me she would contact her boss and took down my information as well. At this point ³⁄₅ stars.
5 mins later I get a phone call from her saying she spoke with her boss and was able to comp me the pizza I ordered because of my experience. This is the type of business that I’m going to support, one that cares about their customers. Thus, ⁵⁄₅ stars.
I will always continue to eat here and a lot of the people seem to have the same opinion of this place.

I haven’t eaten at every pizza place on the central coast, BUT Nardones is by far the best so far.

This place looks like a place you stop in the middle of nowhere and end up dead in the fridge. Rude people decent pizza

Great pizza but terrible customer service!
Called for pick-​up and the first thing the man says, «what do you want?».
Um… am I nuisance for wanting to give you some business man?
Anyways, if you ignore the service and want to talk about the quality of the food… this place deserves five stars.
Perfect fluffy and crisp crust, fresh aromatic ingredients, wonderful sauce and good amount of cheese= THIS amazing creation from Nardonnes.
Give it try, but don’t expect a welcoming atmosphere!

I have to admit, it’s probably the best pizza I’ve EVER had. So delicious. There’s a lot of love that goes into the pizza. make sure you ask for extra red sauce. Go here. If you’re in area, go. No questions asked. It takes about an hour to get a pizza.
The service in this place was terrible and unprofessional. Even taking our order was rough. The staff looks like they need hugs. For this level of service I’d normally rate about 3 stars, but the pizza is just that good.

Decent pizza. We both felt they were a bit skimpy on the toppings considering the price. The pizza itself was good, and the crust had a good flavor. The wait time is very, VERY long. We didn’t mind since they had super reasonable prices on their pitchers of 805 beer. The place is divey, seemingly untouched since 1980-​something, but I liked it. Brought me back to my younger days. 2 small pizzas and a pitcher of beer brought us to right under $ 45. We will go back, but are going to stick to cheese pizzas and pitchers of beer :)

Okay, full disclosure: I moved to the central coast from Brooklyn, NY. My hopes for pizza were not high. And I still have yet to find a descent NY style slice joint, but this is my favorite place for pizza, by far. The crust is handmade and the toppings are the best and freshest I’ve ever had at a pizza place (OMGs the sausage… omnomnom).
Some people have said things on here about the friendliness of the staff, but I have never encountered anyone who was anything but professional if not a touch frazzled by the level of business coming in and out of that place. Pro tip! If they say 45 minutes, they mean it. Don’t roll in after a half-​hour, this isn’t Little Caesar’s. Awesomeness like this takes time, people.
