    Back door entrance.

    We ordered and picked up the Sicilian (cheese & sauce) pie and it was huge! The box was heavier than I could have ever expected. The pie looked amazing and it was really good, however a bit too much garlic and burnt ends for our tastebuds. We parked in the lot in the back and entered through the back door. Service was very welcoming and we got our pie in no time. They do not accept cash, credit card only. There are a couple of tables to sit and eat. Next time we will just get a couple of slices instead of a pie unless we are having a party.

    **Vegetarian Friendly** The internet has been buzzing about this place for weeks, so was absolutely excited to get pizza! I always prefer a place that has a per slice option since it's please more, plus gives you a chance to try more options. This was absolutely delicious "no-flop" pizza!!! We opted for a variety of slices: (1) Cheese - delicious (2) Margarita - good, but cheese was better, was dry on the sauce (3) Vodka - delicious! (4) L&B - similar to a Detroit style (5) Grandma - not your typical grandma style, this is much thinner. Would skip. We're a "go-to" cheese household, but the vodka was equally good! Majority of the orders were to-go, but still a great place for a quick family dinner. Love the pizza bar they have where you can watch them make pizza.

    Pizza Slices. OKAY. The Regular Slice was nice and crisp as well as tasty. Sadly the Grandma Slice with a Spinach Garnish was soggy and not crispy at all. WALK DON'T RUN.

    Such a great pizza place! The pizza is amazing and so is the service! Everyone in this place makes it feel like we're family. You can either eat in the store or take it to go, either way its great! Love this place.

    Cheese - more for me!

    My newest addiction & oh so conveniently located to our new place. A blessing We ordered 2 pies a couple days ago. That crust & freshest ingredients Today was my grandma slice. Could easily have eaten 2... Nicest people too...

    Second time is definitely a better charm. First off i actually met the owner Peter and what a sweet guy !!! He gave me details and awesome suggestions. Pretty upset i didn't take a picture because it all smelled so good My favorite : the grandma . Even cold it tasted delish. The Cecilian was a little overwhelming for me but if you like a cheesy cheese pizza then it's a definite must. The sauce is very delicious. The Buffalo chicken was decent but not my favorite . I also ordered a risotto ball (don't remember the name ) and it was pretty good ! I for sure will be back

    The TL:DR, you want to get pizza here. Earlier this week, I received a text message from Nick Pasquale Marrone, the son of George Marrone, who founded Pasquale's pizza chain in South Florida. I hadn't heard from Nick in a few years since I wrote about him taking over as the head of Pasquale's in Coral Springs, which serves as the chain's flagship. Nick had a motorcycle accident a few years ago (he likes fast pocket rockets) and was unable to work for a long time. Nick has returned from his setback and is now the head pizzaiolo at Peter's Pizzeria in East Boca. According to him, he now prepares his best pizzas ever because the owner, the young Peter Izzo, is a perfectionist when it comes to pizzerias. Peter grew up on Long Island, where he worked at pizzerias like Umberto's and developed a taste for the finest ingredients. The restaurant acquires San Marzano tomatoes, both whole and filetto, and uses Grande Cheese, which is known to be the best low-moisture mozzarella for making pizza. They also use three Italian flour types, including Caputo 00, to make their dough. The dough undergoes a 48-hour cold-proofing fermentation, greatly enhancing the crust's flavor. The dough has a high hydration rate of around 80 percent, which is unusual for a Brooklyn-style pizza. The pizzeria has old gas-fired Bakers Pride ovens from the 1980s, as Peter bought an older location. These ovens lack electronic control that new places have and are not precisely accurate. However, if you know what you are doing, they still get the job done. Nick, who grew up using the same kind of ovens at Pasquale's in Coral Springs, has excellent skills, and combined with the raw materials Peter buys and the dough he makes, it yields phenomenal results. Peter is also working on a brand-new location in Pompano Beach, opposite Gallupi's Restaurant on Federal Highway, and expects it to open in the next two months. When that occurs, the East Boca location will concentrate on being a slice shop, leaving the dishes and other things to the new location, which has a much larger kitchen and will be the central facility for making the dough. The pizzeria serves three types of sauces made with San Marzano tomatoes. For their 20" round pies, which are served as slices, they use a "Brooklyn" type pizza sauce. Their Grandma pie features a "Marinara" sauce, which is the most acidic of the three and has a strong garlic flavor. Finally, for their Sicilian pies, they use a "Sicilian" sauce that cooks with shallots and basil for four hours. This sauce is the sweetest of the three and was created specifically for the Sicilian pie. While excellent, it may not suit everyone's taste as it leans towards the sweeter side. We ordered a slice of the Grandma pizza, which was fantastic, and decided on the sauce we wanted on our 18-inch Brooklyn-style pizza. We went with marinara sauce, sausage, fried eggplant, and roasted red peppers, and it turned out to be one of the best pizzas I've had in a long time. We also asked for it to be well-done and were not disappointed with the result. The pizza was fully cooked with excellent crust blisters and a well-spotted underskirt. Whenever I evaluate a new pizza place, I look at how they make the dough, what ingredients they source, and the technical proficiency of the pizza baking. Peter's hits all the checkmarks.

Beyond the incredible food, the ambiance of the restaurant is wonderful, strikes the perfect balance of cozy and upscale. What really took the night to the next level, though, was our server, Tony. He was hands-down the best! Tony went above and beyond to make the birthday celebration feel incredibly special, attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming. Make sure you save room for dessert because the strawberry shortcake is absolutely to die for, and the after dinner cookies were the perfect sweet finish. However as mentioned the restaurant manager and hostess need a refresher training in hospitality and customer service.

I loved a simple dish done well. The Mediterranean combo was a special of the night and it came with prawns, branzino, fried anchovies, and a salad. The combo was also just as goods. The seasoning was yet again, simple but delicious. The prawns were succulent, fish was high quality, and the fried anchovies surprised me. I loved all the proteins. I also tried the squid ink pasta and the seafood linguini. Both were good but the squid ink pasta was unique. I can't put my finger on the flavor but I liked it. Service was incredible and the chef was kind. He came out to talk to us and explained some of the dishes. The restaurant is homey and cozy. I felt like I was in Sicily. Overall, I highly recommend Savia. I can't wait to come back and try more.

While the food was generally good--my veal chop from the prix fixe menu was flavorful, though slightly dry--other dishes were, unfortunately, just average. What truly undermined the evening, however, was the service. Throughout the night, several guests struggled with repeatedly unfilled water glasses and had to ask multiple times for basic items. Our waitress hardly checked in until the end of the meal, with minimal follow-up during dinner. The situation escalated when, after paying, our waitress, Haley B, approached the table in a confrontational manner, questioning me directly--three separate times--about the tip, in front of the entire group. Gratuity should reflect the quality of both service and overall experience; being pressured for a higher tip despite the lack of attention was entirely out of line. To make matters worse, my follow-up call to management was equally disappointing. The response was all talk, no action. Unfortunately, the lack of professionalism left a lasting negative impression.
