I'll call myself local. I've passed buy Pizzando numerous times without giving it a thought. I've eaten at places all over the square. Somehow we've missed this gem. It's a Saturday night, beautiful weather and the wine country tourists were in full force. Thanks BTW for coming to our neck of the woods. Seriously, a friend of ours said he might want to try the pizza place that's in the square. To tell you how I've ignored this place, I had no idea what he was talking about. Then I Google'd it and thought to myself, oh yeah...I know that place. So we showed up after some drinks elsewhere. It was around 6:30 and busy. Our wait for a table of four was approximately 15 minutes. There are a few tables inside and a row of tables w/ cover outside along the sidewalk. After we were seated, it did take a few minutes to be acknowledged. We were fine with it, as it appeared our waitress was running inside and out. The wait wasn't horribly long. After ordering some drinks, we started with some burrata. So good. We then ordered our meals. Our table ordered the Mediterranean salad, some calzones, a burger and I ordered the rigatoni alla bolognese. The salad was incredible. So flavorful. I was a little leery of the bolognese w/ the rigatoni because it was made with lamb. Not a big lamb fan, but I wouldn't have known it was in there. Very tasty meat sauce. Everyone else loved their food as well. Everything on the menu looked delicious. I'm normally a fairly picky eater, but seriously...it all sounded good. I can't wait to try their pizza. There was an appetizer of pork belly w/ polenta. I need to try that. I'm actually looking forward to coming back and give those items a try. Great job Pizzando!! read more

Service was terrible and the food was almost as bad very disappointing and it was my daughter-in-laws B-day.

Love their pizza! After a long day of wine tasting, we swung by Pizzando to get a pizza to take back to our Air B&B. The Broccolini pizza was fantastic! Loved how the broccolini had a little char and the sausage was delicious. Ad the Buccatini was also fantastic! We had a cocktail at the bar and our food arrived just as we finished. Perfect timing. Easy parking nearby and a great spot. Highly recommend ! read more

We had a great lunch on a sunny Monday sitting outside at this wood fired pizza kitchen. We started with the crispy Brussel sprouts and creamy burratta appetizers. The brussel spout eaters raved about them and I enjoyed the burratta and luscious cherry tomatoes. They've got a nice selection of pizzas with one being plenty for two people. The Italian sausage with shaved red onion was super flavorful with a beautifully crispy and chewy crust. We also ordered a mushroom and artichoke pizza that was equally good. My only nit was the pokey service with long waits for the check and to go boxes despite us being the only customers outside. Definitely a tasty spot and their creamy soft serve ice cream is a nice compliment to the pizza if you have room. read more

Good service and fresh food, love eggplant parmigiana and this was delicious , my friends were here for weekend and they loved the lasagna as well , we'd come back again! read more

Solid pizza with no complaints from the experience we had yesterday. I'm gluten free so a friend shared with me and our other two dining partners shared the gluten full pizza. We all tried the prosciutto and peach pizza and I thought it was delicious! The gf crust was more than a cracker which is always a bonus. I know it's hard because sometimes gf is such a texture issue. This had good chew all the way through to the crust ends. We were in and out pretty quick. Service was fine for us. I see there are a lot of service issues, we didn't experience this other than having to ask for some water a couple times, not that big of a deal. I've never eaten here before, it's good to know it's tasty I know it's been around for years so that also says something too. Glad to know another option is on the table when visiting the area. read more

Love Pizzando, I come here regularly. There are many delicious options and I haven't met an unfriendly server yet. Also love the atmosphere and frequently run into other locals. read more

Great little authentic Italian spot and we picked up a sausage pizza. Perfectly wood fired, though we heated up over a campfire afterwards so may not have tasted the genuine chewiness of the pizza dough. Plenty of toppings, maybe a little too many onions for one's liking. Very tasty pizza and reasonably priced. read more

Amazing food, drinks and customer service. I forgot to take pictures of our food my my friends and I had a girls weekend and went here for dinner and got the spaghetti & meatballs, mozzarella pizza, beef bolognese, and lasagna and shared and it was all so good. The outdoor patio was perfect with cute lights and heat lamps. read more

Literally best truffle fries I've ever had, and I've had A LOT of truffle fries in my life. Pizza is bomb; some sort of whole wheat crust, so good. Great bar, great outdoor seating, great service. Gotta be the best pizza in Healdsburg, but really, go for the fries. Oh, and they have gourmet froyo; the chocolate has chunks of cocoa. Gotta get that too l. read more

We basically came back to healdsburg just for this pizza. STAY at healdsburg hotel and walk downstairs or order to your room... in your birthday suit. You can't go wrong. The best gluten feee crust WE HAVE EVA HAD read more

Pizzando - Disclosure: took serious control to take a photo prior to a bite - Pizza Near Me - Healdsburg, California

This is a favorite spot for local pizza. Their pizzas are wood fired and get to the table quickly. I do ask for extra crispy (not wet in the middle), and they do not disappoint. We look forward to their salad choices. It's a fun place to meet up with indoor or outdoor seating. We love the spot and the service! Takeout is also a good choice. It's easy to order and pickup at the front counter. read more

We ate here on a Saturday afternoon in November, the wait for a table for two was about 5 minutes. The staff is friendly and attentive, and our fried calamari and burrata appetizers were delicious. The atmosphere of dining on the sidewalk isn't ideal, but it's OK for what it is. They're doing their best to keep the tables distanced and all staff wore masks. I would return here. read more

Pizzando - Spicy pizza - Pizza Near Me - Healdsburg, California

The problem with this place is not the food, which is above average but not deserving a Michelin star per their 2022 Michelin Guide San Francisco; the problem is an arrogant, lazy and ignorant staff; and, secondly, prices that are shamefully outrageous even for us millionaires in the Bay Area. Two examples, a bottle of Metanzus sauvignon blanc that they sell for $52 is $18 across the street at Safeway; a bowl of minestrone soup for $15 that is 80 percent garbonzo beans and cheap, freeze dried pasta. read more

So unimpressed! Went here with my mom and we ordered the arugula salad and chicken pesto sandwich. The arugula salad was wilted and it was spinach....not arugula. The dressing was good but the salad only had one ingredient: pickled red onions. A salad should have more going on than just onions. Seriously? The sandwich with fries was OK, small piece of chicken with not much flavor. Fries were bland as can be. Granted, we didn't get pizza at a restaurant named Pizzando but won't be back anytime soon. read more

The brussel sprouts are a 10/10! So tasty. Their calamari is also really good, a little spicy and not fried like it usually comes at other places! I got the lemon ravioli for my main course, which is on their specialties. I totally recommend it! The one thing I was disappointed in was the squid ink linguini. My boyfriend ordered it, and in the past, it was incredibly delicious! However, they've changed it and added some sort of flakes on top. This made it a lot saltier; nix the flakes! read more

A great place for drinks & a meal. Wonderful helpful wait staff. We had the rosemary sea salt focaccia and it was heavenly. We enjoyed a Margarita Pizza and it was amazing. An Apero Spritz was delicious and I enjoyed a local Double IPA. This is the kind of place where you can see what other folks are having and talk with them. We did ! Gary and Mary were fun to chat with. We will be back very soon ! read more

Try the pizza, lol. We have had seval visits to this establishment and can only say great things about the food. And, it's a real stone fire pizza. Wholly better than one stuck in an oven without a crispy crust. However, as great as the food is, the service is not so great. The servers appear to be hanging out, not interested in being there. It shows poorly for the management. read more

The vegan options never disappoint. Service is great, very good drinks and the food is delicious.

My book club girls and I decided to try out the new pizza and pasta place that just opened up in Healdsburg called Pizzando. We were looking forward to a fun girls' night out with some wine and tasty Italian fare. Upon walking in, I was impressed with the rustic yet upscale atmosphere. The hostess greeted us with a smile and promptly seated us at a table with a lovely view of the open kitchen. So far, so good! However, our server took a bit too long to greet us and get our drink orders. I expected more attentive service at a restaurant of this caliber. We started with the bruschetta and caprese salad to share, which were fresh and flavorful. The homemade mozzarella on the caprese was a nice touch. For our mains, we ordered a mix of pizzas and pastas to share. The Neapolitan-style pizzas had a crisp crust and high-quality toppings but were on the small side for the price. The pasta dishes were more generous in size but lacking seasoning - my penne bolognese was bland and needed a lift from the parmesan and red pepper flakes on the table. Overall, Pizzando shows promise with its stylish ambiance and use of fresh ingredients, but the service and execution of the food need refinement. read more

Solid remodel, great bar addition for 5 with lower section for 2. Food is excellent and staff is very accommodating and glad to help. Been there 5 times in the past few weeks. A regular for sure. read more

We were seated outside under the heaters. We started with lovely cocktails and draft craft beer. I ordered the special of grilled seasonal vegetables with sole. The portion was hearty and perfectly cooked! My hubbie had the Mediterranean Chopped salad which was an excellent accompaniment to the pork belly. The pork belly was crisp fried to perfection as were the chunks of polenta surrounded by pesto and sun-dried tomato romesco sauce. Our friend had the pepperoni calzone. We really enjoyed our exceptional meal! read more

The flavors of the cheese and sauce were off. Maybe it was goat cheese? The pizza has little to no sauce, which I like. Nonetheless, the sauce lacks flavor. We travel the country and eat pizza everywhere we go. We've been here for over nine months, and we still haven't found a good pizza place. Their large pizza is a medium pizza by standard. The picture is of pieces of a large pizza. The pizza looks delicious, but not so much. We wouldn't go back. We've eaten pizza all around that area. We haven't had good pizza yet. My fiancé likes Diavola Pizzeria, but it's not my thing. Almost no cheese and primarily sauce and bread. read more

Delicious gluten free margarita pizza, I would recommend to add truffle oil. It came out so quick like less than 10 minutes.

Extremely meh Nice server Overpriced drinks And pizza beyond mediocre Yet they were fairly busy- go figure read more

Fast service, good for kids, available for walk ins on a busy night. Pizza is decent.

This is a small casual restaurant located on the plaza in downtown Healdsburg. We've dined here a few times and love their pizzas. On our first visit we asked the chef to create a vegan pizza for us and it was loaded with mushrooms and was delicious! Since then they have added the Vegan Mix Pizza to their menu with artichoke hearts, mushrooms, onions, olives and spinach, and it is equally delicious! We also really like the Wild Arugula Salad, the lemon vinaigrette with the peppery arugula is a very nice combination. This is once of our favorite pizza places and our go to place while we are in Healdsburg. read more

Pizzando - Vegan Mix Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Healdsburg, California

Owner is very defensive about reviews., two people can dine together and post separate reviews! Food was very pricey for being pretty low tier. Pasta tastes store bought, which is fine , but not at that price. Caprese sandwich could use some seasoning. The burrata was pretty good but the "crostinis" were actually pieces of toast and the tomato slices were huge. There was a roach in the bathroom (right by the kitchen). And no you don't have to tell the manager, I can leave a review instead! Save ur money and go elsewhere, this is not it! read more

Great service, good food; pleasant atmosphere. I had a prosciutto and arugula pizza and it was excellent. It was even better for lunch the next day. read more

We stopped in to dine at this recently refurbished and enlarged restaurant in the center of Healdsburg. We walked in and got seated without a reservation. We began by ordering focaccia and Caesar salad to share. The server dropped a piece of our focaccia order on way to table. She apologized and said she would bring us another order. That never happened. It's actually a good thing because this focaccia was like nothing we have had before. It was all hard crust, practucally inedible. The Caesar salad was OK. We both thought the dressing could use a major pick-up in flavor. Her eggplant Parmigiano and my spinach fettuccine with mushroom sauce were very good. She finished with an affogato and me chocolate soft serve ice cream in a cup. Simple but tasty. The dishes and flatware were very nice, but for some crazy reason, the spoons with dessert are plastic. Not at all in keeping the decor or service. read more

Pizzando - The restaurant entrance. - Pizza Near Me - Healdsburg, California

Their food is great, they're very welcoming and attentive. I also love the ambiance of the restaurant. I highly recommend.

To start, the calamari is SAUTÉED, not fried FYI, super weird presentation served alongside purple potato chunks.... The spinach fettuccini noodles were hard, and the bolognese tasted like it came out of a box & was very runny. (We walked by another bolognese plate - and saw a different looking consistency). Very slow service. Kitchen seemed overwhelmed and stressed. Very disappointing experience. Not sure why this place was so busy - not many Italian options in Healdsburg I guess. read more

3.5 stars I've been here a few times since my initial experience so it's only fair to update! I have tried a few different items over the last couple years and it just comes down to their pizza for me. That is the favorite item and it is consistently good. I loved the peach / burrata dish ...such a tasty combo of sweet and salty. Margarita pizza has good sauce, nice amount of cheese, and ample char. Service was efficient and relaxed. read more

"She really likes the pizza" "Yes, but they don't get very good yelp reviews" This was the conversation as we walked from Young & Yonder to Pizzando. Enjoying the company of friends, I didn't care much what the yelp-o-sphere thought of Pizzando and once I was sitting there enjoying Pizzando's mighty delicious pizza I cared even less. Pizzando has some awfully good pizza for which I'd happily return, but let me take a moment to set expectations for others: Pizzando sits in a lovely location across from a charming green park. The whole of downtown Healdsburg is charm-central and littered with upscale dining establishments. Pizzando feels a bit like the lower end of that upscale-ness. It's neither a pizza hall nor a fast food establishment but rather, a sort of casually nice, simply outfitted, somewhat open-air establishment in which I felt perfectly comfortable in biking attire. The service at Pizzando falls into the same category, perfectly decent but not top of the line. Nobody told me what the pizza of the day was and when I asked, our server had to go check. Big deal... NOT. But indicative of the type of place Pizzando is. Based on my one visit, I think what Pizzando does they do quite well and perhaps those who wound up unhappy here were hoping for it be something it's simply not. But who could argue with really good pizza shared in a pleasant atmosphere with friends? Not I. Pizzando is not the place I'd pick for a special meal in Healdsburg but for a tasty pizza and a glass of wine I'd not hesitate to stop back in. read more

I love this place...casual, friendly, good food and great location. I love the salads and the pizza is wonderful. It's my "go to" place in town when you just want a casual meal. They have Strauss soft serve ice cream if you need it!!! read more

Hmm. Stopped in for an iced tea. Pretty good. However, they charge for refills. Who does that! Guess I won't be stopping there again.
