“Delicious pizza and the harmonic knots are amazing. Eat in and take out. Pizza crust is perfect and sauce/cheese taste fresh. This is what pizza should taste like. So good!” ~ Patrick M.

“"We walked in and the amazing homemade pizza aroma at Nani's got me very excited to try their pizzas. We ordered the vegetarian and the blanco pizzas. I especially enjoyed the unique flavors of the Blanco with its alfredo sauce, caramelized onions and the arugula topping. Nani's truly has a hometown pizza joint feel to it. We will definitely be back for more!” ~ Debra C

Garlic knots were delicious! Pizza was made with fresh ingredients with homemade marinara sauce. Our waitress was attentive and they had 100% sanitation rating. Clean, friendly, and great food.

First time here and it was great! We shared a build your own pizza and a caprese (sp?) salad (it was a special). Food and service were excellent. Highly recommend you give them a try.

Best gluten free pizza I have had in a long time. Owner made sure my dietary needs (gluten and lactose free) we’re met. She was great. My husband had spaghetti and meatballs and loved it. We will definitely be back!

This is a great place to eat Italian food. They serve Lasagna one day a week which is every Thursday. You can tell from the first bite that they have a real chef prepping the food. Same with the salad. Normally if my wife has a meatball left-over from her spaghetti dinner I have no interest in eating it the next day. Unless it's from here. Their meatballs are the best I ever recall eating. It's a cut above.

They were so kind to allow us to have our daughter birthday party there. It's a small dining area but they were able to accommodate a party of 8. The food is delicious and we thanks you!

AMAZING! Out of town from FL. This place is clean, friendly and so cute! The pizza is lovely, garlic knots are supreme, and the cannolis are to DIE FOR. Thank you, you guys deserve all the business in the world.
