The Take
Paisano's Pizza n Pasta serves up reliable NY-style thin crust and classic pasta dishes that reward neighborhood loyalty more than any wellness goals. It is not healthy.
Family ownership since 1974 keeps the thin pies and garlic-oil sauces consistent, yet the menu stays firmly in typical pizzeria territory with no clean-eating upgrades. Locals buy it to signal St. Pete nostalgia and support for the old spot.
The Verdict
Paisano's earns its local staple status through decades of consistent thin pies and straightforward pasta, but it offers zero nutritional edge over any other neighborhood pizzeria. The buffet redeems value for regulars; everything else stays average kitchen fare.
Order the buffet pie if you're already in the neighborhood. Otherwise skip it.
