Prezzano's Pizzeria

Downtown Acworth has a lot to offer, food-wise. There are a wide variety of choices, where once there were but a few.

Just as you enter Acworth on Main Street, coming out of Kennesaw, you will come upon Kennworth Park, and immediately across from the park sits Main Street Station, where you find Prezzano's Pizzeria Italian Restaurant.

My daughter is a student at North Cobb High School, and we passed the new shopping center almost every day. Soon, the pizzeria sign went up. Beth and I decided that at first opportunity, we were going to give this new place a try. We had quite a wait, but we finally got our chance just a few weeks ago.

Originally opened as Paisano's, the name Prezzano's seems more fitting, as Dallas Prezzano is the owner and Italian food chef. Jerry, from Jersey, and Brian from Chicago, join Dallas as chefs in this well rounded crew. Forty five years of experience from three of the greatest places to get a pizza are represented at the oven of Prezzano's.

On my visit, I ordered the Prezzano's Favorito pizza (pepperoni, Italian sausage, roasted peppers and onions). A medium was plenty for Beth and me, and not a bad deal at $14.50. The toppings were plentiful and tasty, but in my opinion, the sauce makes the pie. They use all fresh ingredients, make their own dough, and hand mill the tomatoes to make a wonderfully consistent sauce.
The high booths made a small dining room seem less crowded and more intimate on a busy Friday night. The service was very good. We never felt rushed, and my glass did not go empty. We will return, although my daughter says I have to let her order pasta, and my wife says not without her!
