Piesanos Stone Fired Pizza - 42nd St

So, I am not normally one to put the whole scenario on to a blog and here it goes.

My girlfriend and I were driving around and trying to find a location to celebrate our 2 year anniversary. I used to go to a restaurant that was at the same location and had great experiences at that same location. Not knowing that it was a different restaurant totally, we entered. It was spoke between my girlfriend and myself, that we did not want to feel weird about them closing in 10 minutes. We both come from a restaurant service background and did not want them to just say yes and have that lurking feeling. So, we decide to enter and ask what they thought.

The hostess informs us that we are very welcomed and that we need not feel pressured that they are closing. Still having that different feeling like we were interrupting, we hesitate to go to our seats. The hostess kept assuring all was well and that we should be able to enjoy our anniversary dinner.

The hostess informs the server that it is our anniversary. So, our server, Kay, comes to the table and could do nothing other than to comfort us and to enjoy our meals. Well, we did just that. We stayed until almost 11 and enjoyed our meals and time together. This was the most amazing experience I have had in this setting in over 10 years. You guys ROCK!!! That was just the hospitality portion and does not include the description of the food.

We ate the garlic knots(to die for) smothered in cheese and garlic; we then followed with the spinach calzone(cheese and veggie heaven) the freshest ingredients and smothered with love; soon after this we had to have a desert to help settle all of this food orgasm(some kind of custard with a cherry in the middle). This was the best food I
have eaten in over 10 years with 3 levels of culinary arts degrees and 10 years in the business. I was blown away by the service, execution, and the product that was delivered. You all go down in my book as, I will be a regular at your facility.

Thank you for all you do, keep up the great work!!!!!

Had a pretty good time here...only complaint was that it took a little extra time to get things like silverware once our food got there (they forgot when seating us) and refills. It was pretty clear that the bartender who was taking care of us was just really busy. Would have been nice for fellow servers to help her out as many passed (some holding tea pitchers) while we were waiting with empty glasses.

Our server was, however, very friendly and super accommodating once she was able to get to us so she definitely turned the experience around.
The cheesey garlic knots were super delicious as an appetizer! Pretty good date night spot!

Very busy place but the hostess was great about seating us, as we had a limited mobility guest with us. The food looked good but didn't taste well. The italian menu was limited but the pizza selection was varied. The garlic bread was good and the house salad dressing made in-house.

Outstanding Ranch. That’s all you need to know. You ever go somewhere and you’re like, “Oh, this is REAL RANCH.” I’m sorry - you’ve been misled. This is the best.

I’ve had a pizza and calzone here so far and both were phenomenal. The marinara dipping sauce was also next level. No complaints. 5 stars. Will be back many more times.

Went for lunch on a Friday with 4 co workers. Couldn’t have been more pleased with the entire experience. We were greeted cheerfully upon entering and seated immediately. The waitress greeted us and took our drink orders making sure to let us know about happy hour. Drinks came out very fast accompanied by delicious garlic rolls. The waitress took our order answering all the questions each person had. The food came out very quickly. I ordered a medium deluxe pizza and it was absolutely delicious. The entire experience from service to food to atmosphere was perfect. Thanks Piesanos!
