I used to come here for the pie. It was in a bowl with the lid a piece of pie crust drapped over the top. No longer. The pie is in a frying pan with mashed potatoes on top. Still delicious but not the same

We had a great time at Pizano's! I took my sister there to celebrate her birthday. The ambiance was perfect, our waitress Charley was SPECTACULAR, and they even sang happy birthday to my sister and it wasn't awkward. I had the linguine and clams in red sauce and my sister had the personal deep dish cheese pizza, with cheesy garlic bread to start out the dinner. Everything was hot, delicious and served promptly.
