10. Paisano's
Casual pizzeria chain offering NYC-style pies, plus pastas, subs, stromboli & wings, as well as catering and delivery
Reviewed By D4379
Piasano's just opened this location about two weeks ago so we decided to try it. The location is clean being brand new it is of course in great shape. When you walk in you are greeted by the employees. Fairly informal so you order and pay at the counter. We ordered a small 10" pizza for me and a chicken Parmesan sandwich for my wife. As I said pretty informal place so you grab your silver ware and condiments, fill up your drink and wait for your food to arrive. There was some confusion on if something was ours but they figured it out quick. The staff is fairly green but wanting to help. The pizza was good, it was greasy but it is a peperoni pizza and there was plenty of it on the pie. Good tasting, decent crust and more then enough for one person. The sandwich was loaded with cheese and had plenty of meat in it also. I thought it was well done though my wife who is sensitive to salt thought it was to salty. I think that was the cheese. Overall it was what we expected and should be a nice place to have a meal once in a while. Nothing really healthy but you don't go there for diet food.

This was a very nice family run neighborhood (mostly) take out restaurant. Good, hard working people and nice family. Sadly, they were forced out in a real estate deal very recently and it appears they will not be able to reopen. Their space is being torn down along with all their strip mall neighbors to make way for a new CVS building. Very sad, considering there are two other CVS facilities within minutes of this place.

HH is when you casually sample an eatery's kitchen's culinary skills and decide whether you should return for the regular menu. I don't think we would, though I had an excellent lunch buffet 15 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it.The mussel is done so poorly, almost didn't want to finish it, there is no flavor in the soup. The fried calamari is even worse, usually dipping sauces make you want to eat more, not in this case. I have never had "bad" calamari anywhere, this is a first. The eggplant rollatini is forgettable though it sounded promising. We tasted less than half of it and took the rest home for the puppy, he'll eat anything.It was busy and everyone else seems to enjoy their meal. So it could just be us. When you order 3 appetizers and none of them enjoyable, guess there is no returning for more.

Went to the Germantown Ledo for dinner with friends last night. I remember how good the pizza was when we went to the original over by College Park back in the early 70's so I decided to get an 8" pepperoni pizza for dinner. The waitress was okay but not friendly just effecient. We ordered our meals and they came out fairly fast. The pizza looked very good but when I started to eat it the crust was either under cooked or a bit soggy. The pepperoni was nice thick slices, plenty of cheese and good sauce but the crust just did not make it. Tasted great but I had to eat it with a fork, every time I picked a piece up it just folded up and fell apart. Oh well what are you going to do? I have had great experience with the Ledo on Kent Island but admittedly I have never ordered the pizza just sandwiches. It may just be this location, who knows.

Desserts were brought with regalia. Staff needs a little training. Chef does a great job.

Milano's catered our soccer team's dinner at the Fairfield Inn and Suites, Germantown. Our team ordered trays of Caesar Salad,Chicken Parm, Chicken Marsala, Pene Alla Vodka and Baked Ziti. Tony, the owner, supplied us with utensils,bread, plates and the packaging that the food was in was impressive. This dinner made the entire weekend.The group was comprised of parents that work and eat in NYC everyday, so we were definitely impressed. The players filled up their plates and came back for seconds, it was that good. If you attend the Bethesda Showcases then this is the best place to order. Order by trays.

Decided to treat myself for my Birthday lunch here, and enjoyed a wonderfully energetic atmosphere (there was an office party & other birthday party...and clearly a lot of families and friends enjoying sharing a meal together...nice to see) and GREAT Pizza Margherita along with Insalata Caprese (like the pizza, also one of my all-time favorite foods) and classic bruschetta...very enjoyable, very satisfying...a good value. Nice décor, nice service, nice price for nice food...it was a pleasure eating here. Enjoy! :-D

The place is attractive, and tastefully decorated for the holidays. As is usual these days, it seems, it was too noisy. The server was very friendly - when we saw her. Even the manager stopped by to say we should contact her if we needed anything. Server never checked to see if the meal was satisfactory until the very end - I told her it "wasn't bad." She said "wasn't bad"? - and I said "afraid so". We both had the grouper special. Very nice piece of fish - but too heavy-handed on the salt and other seasonings. With good fish, "keep it simple stupid" is always a good mantra. Don't think they've picked up on that. Side salad was cold and fresh, but the vegetable looked like it had been scooped up by a school cafeteria worker and slapped on the plate. Didn't taste much better, either. With so many other options nearby, we won't bother to patronize this restaurant again.

From the outside, youâd never guess what waits on the inside of this gem. Looks like just another pizza joint until you open the door to a charming little dining room, complete with the traditional checkered tablecloths. It appears to be run exclusively by family members, and the warmth is genuine. But itâs really all about the food. Honestly, I donât believe Iâve had better Italian anywhere (including Rome), at any price. The ingredients couldnât be fresher or of higher quality, and the menu changes weekly, depending in part on the best ingredients the chef (Mama - really) can buy. With all that top quality and serious culinary skill, an additional shocker is how reasonable the prices are. This is our new favorite.
