We really enjoyed the crust with the cornmeal on the bottom fabulous! We had the vegetarian pesto pizza and I can't wait to have it again! I'm kicking myself having lived in Madison on and off for the past 30 years, this is the first time I have had pizza at Paisan's, what a mistake!

Since our granddaughters are unvaccinated (9), we needed to sit outside. We had a beautiful view of the lake, but it was so hot and humid it was unbearable. They didn’t have one umbrellas outside, and the only spot of shade was near the door. When we moved our table a little closer to the shade, a manager came out and told us we couldn’t sit there. We complained about the lack of shade and umbrellas. He told us to sit inside if we didn’t like it out there. We told him it was safer for our granddaughters outside. He just said to move the table. We weren’t blocking a door. In fact, all other people that went to the patio to sit also complained of the lack of shade/umbrella. We moved and ordered. The food lacked flavor. I ordered a chicken Parmesan sandwich. It was a piece of broiled chicken with some tomato sauce on top. They put shredded cheese on top of that, but the sandwich wasn’t very cold and it never melted the cheese. SAVE YOURSELF! Don’t go there. It’s not worth the money.

Great place and very consistent! Staff is always friendly. Views of Lake Nona are wonderful. read more Great place and very consistent! Staff is always friendly. Views of Lake Nona are wonderful.

Had the Chicken Alfredo and was disappointed because the sauce was pretty runny and it didn't have a lot of flavor. First time my food has been subpar here.
