Pazza Bistro

Food was tasty and service was very good. Liked the Italian music playing and no CNN on TVs. Clean place and a simple menu that touches all the bases.

Terrific family friendly pizzaria! The quality of the Pizzas are superb. If you’ve left the kids with the babysitter and are on a date with your special someone, their pastas are the perfect dish.
My wife and I had their mussels and pasta several weeks ago, and that’s what finally made us consider this little place as one of our regular restaurants to go after a movie.
Prices are very affordable and the service is top notch. Although I must admit I haven’t tried their delivery service yet. Then again, this place is literally 2 min from my apt so no need for it.
Really can’t go wrong with this hole in the wall pizzaria, but if there’s a few things you should order, you should get the Garlic Knots, mussels in white wine sauce over spaghetti (any pasta really since they’re all made with fresh ingredients), and any of the specialty pizzas.

Location is good! Smells awesome when you walk in. My boyfriend and I decided to get a slice of pizza before going to the movies next door. Both slices had so much potential all flavors were there and seemed New York style only problem was my crust was burnt. It was as if they had reheated our slices more than once or maybe it was just overcooked. I usually would complain but finished my glass of wine and cashed p
out. Honestly, I want to try it again because it smells amazing when you walk in and the knots look great just next time will order a whole fresh pie or try the pasta. This place has potential I love close by fresh Italian and im hoping next experience they prove me right. #Tastysauce

What really Errks my nerves is when people get jobs that they don’t really care for. The owner of this place deserves passionate chefs. I order from here everyday while at work and get the exact same thing. Mussels over spaghetti noodles with white wine sauce. Two side salads and a large Fanta. Equaling out to $ 20.37. I’m not able to pick up my food due to my 12 hour armed post. So I choose delivery. Why everyday my food taste different? I have no idea! I’ve called and complained and even spoken to the owner and than he himself made my meal over. And had it delivered to me. I ordered the next day and the chef didn’t put any sauce in my dish. The noodles were old and so were the mussels. I called and complained and they sent me another dish cooked properly but with no seasoning. I bit that bullet but only because I had to switch post and o was already tired from waiting on the second delivery. I let a few days pass and ordered again. This time no oil, water, wine or any liquid in the dish. I called and complained and it came back worse then ever. Two weeks later which is today. I’ve ordered the same thing. Now today there is no seasoning, the mussels are over some pasta that isn’t spaghetti. And the pasta is so mushy it won’t stay on the plastic fork. For this meal to be 14.00 it makes no sense how careless and inconsiderate these cooks are. Today is the final day I will order from here. I’ve spent $ 100.00 a week here and get better quality food at 7 11. P. S: I sent every dish back with the delivery driver after one bite.

If you want fresh, authentic, not frozen or canned Italian, this is the place to go! Fettuccini Alfredo is amazing and their pasta is made there! Delish! Love this place and try to come in every time my parents are up to visit as they love it too!

Good prices. I only had 1 slice of cheese and it was just ok. They do have gluten free dough for those who are gluten free.

Went here for lunch with a few co workers. I ordered thr Bianca pizza which was amazingggg. The personal size was about 10in. I still had a whole half of the pizza to take home. A few of my co workers tried the cheese steak, which they said was good. Some of them tried the pasta – ziti and manicotti. It was veryyy cheesy, but they enjoyed it nonetheless. Ill go back for the pizza.

This hole in the wall pizza joint has good lunch specials and daily deals. It doesn’t hurt your pocket and it’s cozy. I had a pepperoni pizza which was delicious. The garlic knots were also very delicious.

Great lunch spot! Pizza and house salad are a great combination. The pizza and salad were freshly made. Tasted great. Most of the time I don’t finish my salads but the house vinigaret was so good I was very tempted to lick the plate after I finished the salad (I did not of course). Healthy size slice of pizza, house salad and drink for $ 6 and change. Great price…

Good Choice if Going to the Movie Theater
Pazza Bistro is next door to the Regal movie theater, so it is very convenient if planning dinner and a movie.
All the staff were extra friendly and accommodating. The setting is quite pleasant and comfortable. Prices are quite reasonable.
Food was good. I can’t say that any item we had was outstanding in any way. One person in our party had a slice of pizza and thought that it was very good. So we will probably go back for a salad and pizza on another visit to the movies.
This is really a 3 Stars+.

Very disappointed. Been here several times And it was good. Tonight I wait 20 min to get soup so hot I can’t eat it. Followed a minute later by entrée of under cooked lumped together pappardelle pasta. The rosa sauce is good but the ‘grilled’ chicken in the dish is slices of salty deli chicken. Pretty nasty. I really try to give local guys the business. But with at least 10 other restaurant options right here in this shopping center I won’t be back.

The staff who take the phone orders are amazingly cheerful everytime I call. They definitely make you feel like they appreciate your business. They were more than happy to deliver even though I’m pretty sure we’re just a smidge over the line.
Prices are, in my opinion, very reasonable for the area.
Pizza and garlic knots are delicious. Enough garlic to taste, not enough to bowl you over.

This place was awesome… was very impressed with the pizza here, crust was even pretty great! Would love to eat here again except I’m here on vacation…

This has become my guilty pleasure for Italian food! Everything is so good! The subs are fresh with fresh baked in house bread and the pasta and sauce are delicious! Treat yourself to some great food and a great price!

Very good. We went with it based on the reviews and the house made fresh pasta. Made the right choice. My wife had the chicken piccata. Some places will force the lemony flavor of capers by drowning the chicken with lemon juice, not here. Slightly breaded and capered perfectly. I wanted to test the homemade pasta. Does it really taste different? YES, it does. I had the the spaghetti with the homemade bolognes sauce & added shrimp. It was outstanding.
My wife and I love Italian food & we like trying new places. This is in a strip mall, but don’t let it deter you. Service is hard to judge on takeout. They were very attentive and friendly on the phone. I arrived a few minutes early and the manager offered me a complimentary beverage as I waited.
Nice touch. They seem to be a pizza focused restaurant, but go for the garlic knots and fresh house made pastas. I highly recommend eating here.

Best delivery pizza I have ever had! Get the supreme! Fresh veggies, homemade dough n sauce! Hands down best authentic Italian pizza I have ever had!

First time here and had the Stromboli, wow i was overly impressed. The sauce tasted fresh, the Stromboli had ham, sausage and pepperoni. Great service and fresh ingredients to happy customers. Look forward to coming back.

Pazza Bistro is just as impressive as my favorite Pazza location that used to be in Gainesville, Florida (my hometown). So, I was so pleased to see this new location near my new house in one of the best locations in St Petersburg/​Pinellas Park. Directly next to a big movie theater, even with an ice cream shop next door, there is really not much more needed for a perfect night out on the weekend.
For those that have not yet visited Pazza, you are definitely missing out on something unique and affordable. All of the pastas and pizzas are homemade, and toothsome to prove it. Yet, the atmosphere is local, casual, and very inexpensive— much like something you would find in a large city. Not a cafeteria, like the OG around the corner.
The owners and some staff are from Monaco, so it is easy to taste the excellent quality and flavors of their food. Bordering France and very close to Italy, expect that sort of approach to the cuisine with a Mediterranean touch. You are paying a lower price for some classy Italian flavors here, with a European twist. Everything just tastes a little bit healthier to me. Maybe it is the simple ingredients used, everything is identifiable. Prices are low and there are not many large serving dishes over $ 10. Keep in mind that all dishes come with your choice of soup or salad, plus their mind-​blowing garlic knots.
Everything is made in-​house and the flavors and care as there to prove it. I am still shocked at the low prices, and will continue to visit Pazza for lunch and dinner to support this remarkable business model.

This place is losing brownie points real fast on delivery. I am 10 minutes away. It takes 90 minutes for a salad, 10 wings and dessert?

Came here one night because it is close to home and they offer coupons and take out. My longstanding opinion is that it’s hard to mess up pizza. The pizza here was average at best. We ordered it to go and got the plain cheese pizza. It was slightly overcooked, but I didn’t mind that so much. The pizza simply lacked good flavor in the sauce. I will give them credit for having a crispy crust, which I did enjoy. We also got an order of garlic knots. I liked that they were light and not doughy, but they were very buttery and the side sauce was also very bland. Overall, an average pizza place. I may be back in the future if they amp up their sauce recipe.

Walked by here dozens of times and never thought to come in. Decided to grab a quick bite though before our movie started. Was thinking it was like an order a slice at the counter and pay kind of restaurant – oops! Nope, were told to sit at any table and a server would be with us.
We ordered some wings, a slice of pepperoni and a meatball sub. Wings were good. My son wanted honey BBQ. Very saucy! But the wings were naked and crispy-​how I like ‘em! My meatball sub was pretty awesome. Bread was soft and chewy and meatballs had nice flavor. I’m assuming my son enjoyed his slice of pizza as it disappeared pretty quickly.
Service was great. Our server came by a lot to see how we were doing. I believe his name was Stephen. or at least that’s what it says on my receipt. Food came out in ok time. There were some tasty looking dishes being brought out to the other tables. So. yeah, now I know what Pazza Bistro is about and will most likely be back in since we frequent Park Place a lot.

The new management added pizza by the slice and delivery! Which is awesome :) It’s really inviting, and super reasonable for the quality. I LOVED the caprese salad! The Bianca pizza with fresh garlic added was out of this world good. Perfectly crispy, but not rock hard. Toppings stayed on nicely. Well balanced. Fresh tasting. Smelled wonderful :)
If you’ve never been… GO! catch a movie and then wander next door and check it out.
I like it much better than the old way because I hate being forced to buy a whole pizza when I just want a slice. So now I can! Huzzah!
Read some reviews about the change in management and service issues but none so far and since I’ve been there three times this month I think I’d have noticed lol
My friends meet up there once a week so anyway it’s good :)

Perhaps the casual, modern idea is too fast forward for this area because I’ve never entered to a packed house despite its location next to a movie theater. (Pizza? Movies? Sounds like a match!). The food is excellent but I really don’t think its location will help it.
DELICIOUS FOOD
Make your own Pasta by choosing from a handful of Noodles, select your Sauce, then choose some add-​ons. My Tricolore Pasta with Fettucini and Italian Sausages was extremely creamy and flavorful. It was delicious but too much imbalance. I found myself wishing for more Bread or Noodles to balance out the immense flavor and presence of the sauce.
The 12-​inch «Art Pizza» was delicious. Containing Mozarella, Artichokes (had no flavor but added a great crunch), and Sausage all over a thin-​but-​not-​crispy crust. A small Salad was also included and impressed me with its fresh diced Tomatoes, Cheese and my requested Spicy Balsamic Dressing — great blend of flavors.
BUT PERHAPS THE PRICES…
At $ 9 – 11, it’s very possible to finish an entire Pizza on your own. The Pasta can also easily hover around $ 10. Although the food is great, it’ll be difficult for this place to grab the movie theater crowd continuously because teens and families (demographic of the theater) aren’t likely to spend that much per person per food. This place isn’t very expensive, but it’s probably higher than what that demographic would still like to spend.

Stopped by for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. The interiors are very well done and have a nice, contemporary feel to it. We were greeted immediately and told how the order system works. I chose the home made fettuccine pasta with the pesto Genovese sauce topped with chicken. My wife got the shrimp scampi. Both were delicious and I particularly loved the freshness of the pesto sauce. It’s because of the fresh flavors and the fact that everything is made to order in front of you that I love places like this one. Will be back soon to get the yummy looking pizzas.

The best places are typically found in unassuming strip centers and this place did not disappoint.
The gentleman who helped me decide upon what to order was incredibly sweet. I loved his Monaco accent too!
I had a groupon so I needed to spend $ 20, which was great because it allowed me sample both the pasta AND the pizzas.
I went with the fresca pizza which was a coal fired crust without any sauce but instead the garlic butter. It was topped with mozzarella and goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes and fresh spinach. Fantastic!
For the pasta I went with the creamy portabella mushroom sauce on their homemade pappardelle noodle. Oh my! This is what pasta should taste like. Fresh and homemade. I loved it!
I will definitely be back and am looking forward to trying their red sauces next time.
I’m in love!
