This review is solely based on to go.
Got a couple of pizzas: Margherita DOP, Original Carnevale and Desano. I enjoyed them all.
I also like how they provided instructions on how to reheat the pizzas and I followed it. It was pretty good.
I believe that if I dine in instead of ordering to go, it would have tasted much better.

often passed by this pizza place and had always wanted to try it. The parking lot is spacious, which is a big plus, and there are plenty of seats available inside. The interior is nicely done, clean, and well-organized. Since the pizzas are wood-fired, they taste great and the food comes out quickly.
One downside was the ordering experience. I chose a pizza and told the staff, but the female employee kept misunderstanding me and tried to put in a different pizza order, even after my friend spelled it out clearly. That part felt a bit odd and frustrating.
Aside from that, everything else was excellent. I would definitely come back again.

Had the pepperoni and sausage pizza(apologies for not knowing the awesome fancy name for it) was full of flavor, very savory and delicious! The sausage was tasty and pepperoni was just right! As well the cheeses were amazing in every sense!! Highly recommend if you are in the area!!

We recently had our daughter’s birthday party at DeSano Pizzeria, and it was absolutely perfect! It turned out to be the ideal spot for a big group. You don’t have to deal with coordinating with waiters or splitting complicated checks. Everyone just orders at the counter, and the food is brought right to the table, which makes everything simple and stress free when you’re hosting a large party.
The atmosphere worked great for a birthday. Plenty of space, great energy, and of course the pizza was fantastic!! It felt relaxed but still special, which is exactly what you want when you’re juggling kids, cake, and a bunch of excited guests.
The staff was unbelievably friendly, which to be honest is kind of hard to find nowadays. They made everything feel easy and welcoming, which makes a huge difference when you’re hosting.
*** The only thing we wish we had known ahead of time is that they offer a children’s pizza making party package. That would have been such a fun, hands-on activity for the kids and really taken the party to the next level. It unfortunately wasn’t well advertised, so definitely ask about it if you’re planning a birthday there!!
Overall, we loved it and highly recommend.

Had high hope as seen in other reviews but wasn’t satisfied with either of the items we ordered. Everything was average. The vibe of the place is good though. Didn’t like the ricotta filled crust pizza. Also they don’t have any chicken option on their menu.

I was exited to try this place out, but it was a total disappointment.
I arrived around 8pm, waited about 9 minutes just to place the order.
Cashiers were paying more attention to the pick up orders and not in house customers.
Anyway, I sat on a bench close to the kitchen, and did see the food being made by the cooks.
To my surprise, my pizza was out in no time, I grabbed the first slice and tasted it.
Flavor was great, but the dough was undercook and the bottom of the pie was charred. That explained why it was out so fast.
I observed the pizza cook and he seemed very careless about managing the temperature or time in the oven.
I saw other pies come out of the oven smoking literally.
I requested to speak with the kitchen manager, they said there was no manager, i was told to go to the front if i wanted to speak with someone.
I took a few bites and left dissatisfied of course.

It was super fast! Very similar to the pizzas in Itealy, they even import some of the cheeses from Italy. The pastry was awesome! And aperol spritz is just $8! I will definetly visit it again!

Very very good pizzas, extremely nice service with helping and guiding which pizzas to choose. Photo of only one, but had 4 different. Only improvement issue is to deliver all pizzas at the same time, now we got first three and had to wait for fourth one for some time.

Picked up an order to go and wasn’t super impressed, though I think an in person visit would be better as many people have recommended dining in. I’d also choose other items on the menu in the future given this experience. Their parking lot is huge and the building also looks very big, but I didn’t explore the inside. The pick up counter was quick and easy as I placed an online order.
We ordered the Heart of Palm Salad as a starter, which was large enough to easily feed 4-5 people. I enjoyed the citrus dressing and there was a significant amount to appropriately coat the amount of greens. The heart of palm slices, tomatoes, and cheese paired well with the arugula, but the ratio was off with too much cheese and not enough tomatoes. The greens were visibly old as ⅓ of them were yellowed, had plenty of holes and or were dried out.
Of the two pizzas we ordered, I preferred the Capriccio that had artichoke and prosciutto because it contrasted the base of the pizza and added a variety of flavors and textures. The Cacio e Pepe pizza was too heavy without enough contrast between the cheeses, so it felt more like eating a flatbread with globs of cooked cream on top, even though the quality of the cheese was really high. It needs acidity, whether from sundried tomatoes or a balsamic glaze. Some people might like that amount of cheese though since apparently it’s a favorite on their menu, so who knows. The pizza dough itself was delicious, even the next day after reheating in an airfryer.

Fresh, quick, and delicious pizzas! Plenty of room for large parties and the open kitchen is great for watching how they make ’em.
