Pazzo - San Andreas

Food is great and their takeout options are nice too. Would highly recommend if looking for something easy

So good I almost don’t want to tell you about it so I can still get in and get a table. First class food and dining. Great restaurant not snooty or pretentious and food is top notch. Hidden gem, axel took great care of us and I hope to be back to celebrate much more at Pazzo Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner

I've had this place bookmarked for a while now and got to finally try it and I'm glad that I did. Pulling up to the restaurant, it was just down a little street that was mostly only street parking so keep that in mind. Walking in, there were a few tables outside and inside was very quint with not that many tables as well so some nights I can see can be a long wait potentially. Luckily we came on a Thursday night around 530 and was seat right away. One of the first things that you notice is the huge wood fired oven in the kitchen which got me excited for what was to come. We ended up getting: Beet salad fresh red/golden beets with argula and almonds. Super refreshing and not bitter from the argula) Cavatelli with slow braised pork ragu my wife said this tasted like her grandmother made, can't be a better compliment than that) New Haven Tomato Pie This is what I was most excited to try. Never having been to New Haven and it being listed as that, I just had to try it and it did not disappoint. It was light, crispy, good char from the over, the sauce had just the right tang, couple thin slices of garlic and a sprinkle of pecorino on top, it was just delightful) Housemade Fennel Sausage Pie Also a good pie in its own right, I just preferred the Tomato Pie more but if they only had this, I would be satisfied as well) Overall, this place was well worth the drive and would be a great addition to the date night rotation. The only thing that I would nitpick on would be that the dinner itself had a good pace but it seemed like to go orders were coming up much faster than the dine in orders, at least for pizzas

All the appetizers we got were very good...shrimp and grits, beet salad, crispy cauliflower; the cavatelli and rigatoni were good; potato pizza was okay, the fennel sausage pizza had great flavor. For dessert, the tiramisu was really good, others liked their pistachio cannoli. I have favorites now that I would go back!

Great pizza, pasta special was also very good. Good selection of beers on tap. Only knock is the place is small but no need to take stars away for that so this is a 5 for me.
