    Front and take out window
    Dantenello V.

    Anesso Pizzeria is still a top choice for a wonderful date night. The environment is lively and the air filled with wonderful smells. The service is top tier. Every visit my waiter/waitress is on top of every need. Lastly the food! Always a hit. I recommend whatever special is being served because it's always amazing and unique.

    Meatball Sandwich
    Joi L.

    Restaurant is lovely indoors and out. There are fans and misters if you sit outside. Inside the decor is clean, sleek, and casual. Service was great, we were allowed to take our time and enjoy our meal. I love that they leave a carafe of water at the table, very smart and convenient for us. They also offer still or sparkling water, what a plus! The food was delicious and the fettuccine hands down is one of the best ever! The noodles were perfect the sauce was excellent. No complaints!

    Rigatoni w/ Italian sausage
    Vickie N.

    Annesso is always a favorite and never disappoints! It consistently hits the spot, and we love coming back for the amazing food and flavors. The rigatoni is one of our must-orders--the vodka sauce is rich, creamy, and they are incredibly generous with how much sauce they provide. I always add Italian sausage as my protein, and it pairs perfectly with the pasta, adding the perfect amount of savory flavor. We also love the jalapeño pepperoni pizza. The combination of the spicy jalapeños, slight sweetness from the honey drizzle, and salty pepperoni creates such a delicious balance of flavors. It's one of our favorite pizzas! For appetizers, the truffle fries are a standout. They are so generous with the shaved cheese, and the aioli dipping sauce is absolutely delicious. The mozzarella sticks are another favorite--the breading is flavorful and pairs perfectly with their authentic marinara sauce. During the summer, their poolside punch cocktail is a must-try. It's refreshing, sweet, and dangerously easy to drink because you can barely taste the alcohol! Overall, Annesso is a 10/10. The food, portions, and flavors are consistently amazing, and we will definitely keep coming back.

    Annesso is hands down one of my favorite restaurants in the Fresno area. I've been here countless times, and I always leave happy. The atmosphere is one of my favorite things about this place. It feels elevated without being overly fancy, making it perfect for date nights or a nice dinner with friends. I also love that the kitchen is open--you can watch the chefs at work, which adds to the experience. The servers are always so kind and welcoming, and the overall vibe is just great. As for the food, I've honestly never had a bad meal here. Everything is incredibly fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. Their cocktails are also some of the best I've had in Fresno and Clovis. They always have creative, well-balanced drinks that pair perfectly with the food. If you're looking for a restaurant with amazing food, great drinks, and an atmosphere that keeps you coming back, Annesso is definitely worth a visit.

    Tricolore Salad

    I've been back to Annesso a few times now, and it continues to be one of my favorite restaurants in Fresno. We started with the house-fried Mozz Sticks, which are a must-order. They're huge with a perfectly crunchy exterior, and I loved the seasoning on the breading, it gives them so much more flavor than your typical mozzarella sticks. One of the main reasons I keep coming back is their white sauce pizzas. They're rich without feeling too heavy and always hit the spot. This visit, we ordered the Funghi Misti, which had an incredible savory, umami flavor that really let the mushrooms shine. The Scampi pizza was another favorite. The shrimp tasted fresh, and I appreciated that they didn't hold back on the garlic. If you're a garlic lover, you'll definitely enjoy this dish. To top it all off, they brought us a complimentary vanilla soft serve to celebrate my friend's graduation. While the texture was a little more watery than I expected, the vanilla flavor was surprisingly rich and delicious. More importantly, it was such a thoughtful gesture that made the meal feel even more memorable. Annesso consistently delivers great food with warm hospitality and quick service, it's a place I'll happily keep coming back to.

    Salumi sandwich
    Taylor U.

    I've had quite a few of the items from here and can say I really do recommend this place. 1. Their traditional marg pizza is an absolute must. If you're a ranch lover please also order the fresh ranch dipping sauce, it's phenomenal and the fresh dill is 2. The salumi sandwich, picture featured here. It's just the perfect sandwich amount for a person to either eat in one sitting or take on the go for the other half. It is rather messy so eating it right away is recommended due to some sauce making the bread soggy if sat too long. Very refreshing, you can't eat it fast enough! The mozzarella sticks for apps are great along the fries and wings.

    Margherita Pizza and Sungold Pizza
    M. S.

    We had a blast at Annesso. Our server was really nice and professional and took great care of us. It was some of the best pizza we've had, all of our food was really fresh and tasted great. Our cocktails were excellent and on the stronger side. 10/10 dining experience at Annesso Pizzeria! Thank you!

    The Bianca pizza and the spicy Caesar salad are to DIE for!
    Matthew M.

    Anytime I'm in Fresno or just driving through, I ALWAYS stop at Annesso's Pizzeria. Everything there is great. The food, the service, the chefs, the ambiance, etc... Do yourself a solid and GO THERE!! You can thank me later.

    Caesar Salad
    Melanie N.

    Overall had a fine time dining here. We got the Shrimp Scampi Pizza and Parm Fries, both were delicious. We added the caesar salad and it was good, but u do think portion is small for the price. Service was fine, nothing crazy and ambiance was upbeat and aesthetic. I would definitely come back when in the mood for a good quality pizza

    Pepperoni pizza
    Patrick T.

    Four stars to 5 stars. I am hooked on the Funghi Misti which is their mushroom pizza. It's now going to be my go to whenever I come. But I came with colleagues and got to try all out a bit bunch of items. The BBQ chicken, though a little sweet was quite good if you like that. The sauce wasn't over powering. The pepperoni jalapeno is always safe bet. The parmigiana fries, calzone, Brussels sprouts were all items that I would recommend. I know a couple people ordered the pesto chicken sandwich and meatball sandwiches and they both said it was very good. Can't wait to come back.

    Mozzarella sticks are super cheesy!
    Mal A.

    Still one of our favorites We visit here daily, food and service still impeccable and I love the atmosphere there.

    Just sat down with my boys
    Miranda G.

    After flying into Fresno, took both my boys out for pizza. We had to stop by Trader Joe's, and searched yelp! Thank you, Yelp! For helping us find Annesso's! Walking in on a Friday night we knew there would be a wait. Sure enough at 7:00pm, we were told 1.5hrs wait. So no biggie we did a small shop at Trader Joe's and dropped off the groceries home. And right on the hour we were texted that our tables ready and they'd hold it for 10mins. Great!! We got there in time, sat straight down and ordered straight away.. Starters came out in 5mins - wow! Then followed by our pizzas straight away. Food was delicious! Ambience was lively and buzzing with chit chat, laughter and clinking of glasses. Also Audri was amazing, always checking in on our table, getting our ketchup and prompt on check out. All in all I would totally recommend dining in at Annesso's! Only downfall - parking is terrible it was So crowded. Nearly saw 2 accidents.

    Mafaldine
    Stephanie X.

    Great pizza spot! The inside is spacious and the service is good as well. It was pretty busy inside. The funghi Misti was so good and the perfect amount of mushroom. Fettuccine was good, but nothing amazing. The Star of the show was the mafaldine! I almost skipped it because of the reviews but so glad I ordered it anyways. It was absolutely delicious!

First of all just know that a calm sit down atmosphere isn't this place, it is absolutely a take out, take home restaurant. That being said the gal who took my order was very helpful and suggested the best pizza's for what I described I wanted. The service was spot on and yes, she was correct. Now for the pizzas!! I got an all meat Chicago, Detroit combo and a Hawaiian. The Chicago stole the show with plenty of meat, a heavy cheese and the topping of sauce was perfect. The sauce wasn't too sweet and seemed like fresh tomatoes, not the fake sugary sauce that you might buy in bulk. I love a good sauce but I am not a tomato lover so this was surprising. The other pizzas were just as good but we need to talk about the dough. The dough was almost perfect with a crisp bite, but not dry or rubbery. Again, not too sweet either but seemed to carry the weight of the toppings well and didn't cave in. Overall I would put Hot Rod Willy's Pizza at about a solid 8 for the entire experience. The cost was reasonable and I would definitely travel from Merced to Fresno again to snag a few pizzas. I would encourage the owner to take a look at Merced if he chooses to expand!

Well she is amazing and just talking to her in this short time that I was there you can definitely hear her love for food and our community. Her and her husband put a lot of time into this restaurant to make sure the quality is perfect at every bite in everything they cook. What helps this pizza taste great is the style of their brick oven. It's the only way to have a really good pizza cooked. I hear they just opened up another location off of Fowler and Ashlan and the atmosphere, music and customers are really good. I had ordered or made my own style of pizza, and let me tell you right out of the gate that crust omg was so crispy, cooked perfectly and tasted just perfect. Their pizza sauce is home made and let me say hands down one of the best sauces I've had in a long time. I will be back to try more off the menu but I'm sure it will hit a home run for our community.

The pizza toppings were good. Something about the crust just didn't hit. I can't quite put my finger on it. Not sure if I'll come back. If I so, I'd try a NY slice.

The sausage and olive pizza was my perfect two combo topping. I loved this one. It came with the cheesy bread, cheese in the center and cheesy on top, it's cheesy alright. You have to get it.
