    Crust was fluffy but crunchy. Kind of gave me a Jet's pizza crust vibe. Got the half sausage/ pepperoni. Was pretty good. Cheese was nothing special but it certainly was not a bad pizza by any stretch. $17 total for the 15" pizza.

    A wonderful family owned business that's been around since 1964. The people are so friendly and the original owner is still working there it seems. The pizza is pretty good. We got a jalepeño and mushroom pizza, and they were not stingy with the toppings at all, very generous amounts. The only bad thing was that the crust did not seem super flavorful and was a little crispy. All in all I would visit again!

    This place has the most awesome and unique pizza! It is a family owned business and they care about their customers! I have never seen a restaurant so clean! They do something different with their pizza crust and i just love the taste. Their pizza is not overly sauced and all of the toppings blended so nicely that you could taste each topping individually but still all at one time! I am to be a regular customer for sure!!!!!

    Used to be a big fan, my family used to live a few blocks away and was the only place my Itailian grandfather wanted pep n cheese from. Safe to say we have ordered quite a few pizzas from them over the last 40 years and if the owner reads this he will know his name was Foster Biagini. We won't be ordering from them anymore!! Ordered 2 pizzas, large pep n cheese and a large all the way totaling 46.00 on Sunday 1/14/24 around 8:30pm. Got them home and was suprised to see basically both were overcooked, the bottoms were overly done and had a burnt taste to both pizzas which sucked as we had been looking forward to a family favorite. Placed a call on Tuesday (closed Monday) to speak to a manager (tried That night at 10:15 but they did not answer) and was told that they would take 8.00 dollars of our next order! I thought that was kinda low and should have just replaced them but oh well. Probably wont be ordering from them again as there are plenty of options for good pizza especially when paying a premium price as they charge.

    You have to be a real Pizza Aficionado to understand that flavor is everything. I'm one of them. This is not a cheap pizza and it doesn't need to be one. It's full of incredible flavor. Fred and his team have been making some of the best pizza in Ohio for the last forty some years. I remember eating this pizza at least once a week as a small child and then at least twice a week is a teenager and then the same as I was raising my family in Grandview.

    First time ordering the butchers block and the sausage is sliced. Absolutely genius. Taste is immaculate. We left the ground beef off as well but that was a preference. Crowd pleaser pizza was delicious too. It’s the sliced sausage I can’t get over. Perfect.

    This is Columbus pizza. Donatos get out of here! Love the thin crust. The crunch is real people! If you don't like this place, you don't know pizza! Large pepperoni and a beer. What else do you need? Worth every penny.

    Subs are good, but run on the spicier side. Pizza is okay, but the sauce is lacking flavor, it is nicely crispy though.

    This family run pizza shop is one of the best in the city! Not only is the food top tier but the service is impeccable 💯 Make sure you stop by if you are in the Grandview area! You won’t regret it 💙

  • 2/5 Tim K. 2 years ago on Google
    Crisp edge…doughy everywhere else. The sauce is great. Too bad, when I asked for extra cheese, I barely got any cheese at all. The Italian sub isn’t terrible. It’s actually cooked and crunchy. Not sure I will order from here again.

    Always friendly and always hot great pizza been going here since I was a little girl

  • 5/5 Levi W. 2 years ago on Google
    Small business with a great thin crust pie. I got a small pizza with extra cheese and I swear there's over a couple of pounds of cheese on it! Go check him out. Oops. This is the wrong panzeras that I was reviewing. Mine is for UA Ohio.

    I didn’t know what to expect but OMG this really hit the spot. We got the ham and pineapple and I just really liked e flavors and textures. The owner is also very friendly. You can’t see it from Fishinger or riverside dr but it is in the plaza around the back. Worth it! Will be our family’s new pizza spot.

    One of the best pizza's in Columbus Ohio. Been in buss 40 years now and 28 in this location.

  • 5/5 Henry S. 8 months ago on Google
    As always everything was great for our group dinner outing. They even went so far as to offer a replacement when one of the items saw found to be too spicy for one of us. That's going above and beyond :)

  • 5/5 Keli B. 9 months ago on Google
    1st time and we will be ordering more. Crust was very different and delicious, crispy, yet chewy. Good pizza.

    Great food and reasonably priced. Great atmosphere.

    Used to LOVE Panzeras, BUT the last 2 pizzas I had were just bad. The first of the 2 made sick enough to put me in the ER for IV fluids. The second tasted like something you could buy the parts cheaply at the grocery. It was terribly disappointing to see what Panzeras has become. I gave them a second chance , no more.

  • 3/5 Penny W. 1 year ago on Google
    paid for but didn't get extra cheese (and box confirmed with only "P w/d" for pep well done) and pepperoni too spicy for a 9 year old to eat! definitely have changed from when I grew up eating it in the 80s...disappointing dinner for Red, White & Boom....
