What Makes The Original Pinsaria Stand Out?

  • Irresistible 8-Inch Pinsa: Experience the signature 8-inch pinsa that are light, airy, and crispy. Favorites like Gracco—topped with fresh mozzarella and Italian tomato sauce, or Spartaco, with savory sausage and caramelized onions, are sure to impress even the most discerning palates.
  • Pinsa Surprise: Feeling adventurous? Try the Pinsa Surprise, where the chefs curate a unique blend of two meats, two cheeses, one vegetable, and one dressing each time, keeping your dining experience exciting and fresh.
  • Handcrafted Pastas: Don’t overlook their handcrafted pasta offerings. Each dish, such as Pantheon—with basil and Italian tomato sauce, offers an exquisite taste crafted with love and precision.

Customer feedback highlights the incredible service provided by devoted staff, who not only take the time to make recommendations but also check in on diners, ensuring that each visit feels personal and attentive. Many guests, like Maddie G and Phil Warlow, have shared feelings of warmth not just from the food, but from the exceptional service available.

While some may find prices slightly on the higher end, the general consensus is that the quality of the ingredients and the care taken in preparation justify the cost. Tommy Mac emphasizes the divine experience of their pizza, describing the crust as equally crunchy and airy - a hallmark of a well-crafted pizza.

The Original Pinsaria does not merely serve food; it offers an experience. The charming decor, friendly service, and delectable Italian offerings make it a true standout in the local dining scene. With vegan options and a pet-friendly atmosphere, this establishment is ready to accommodate everyone. Are you ready to indulge in a meal that reflects genuine passion for Italian cuisine? Visit The Original Pinsaria—you won’t regret it!
