Piccola Italia Pizza & Restaurant

I think this one deserves a little more attention. 👀🍝

Our Rigatoni alla Arrabbiata might be one of the more underrated dishes on our menu. It’s flavorful, a little spicy, and one of those dishes I don’t think enough people know about.

So if you always order the same thing when you come in, maybe give this one a try next time. 😊

And since it’s Thursday, you can enjoy $10 off bottles of w**e all day, or one of our Italian Classic cocktails for $12 — a Negroni, Italian Gentleman, Little Italy, or Sal’s Old Fashioned.

What’s a Piccola Italia dish you think doesn’t get enough attention? 🇮🇹

Eggplant Parm wins!

I really thought chicken was going to take this one, so I was surprised to see how many eggplant lovers we have out there. Although I can't argue with the results—our eggplant parm is pretty darn good.

One thing that makes ours a little different is that we don't deep fry the eggplant. It's sliced, battered and baked before being topped with our marinara and mozzarella.

This would be a tough choice for me too, so I completely understand the one vote for both. 😂

Thanks to everyone who played along! ❤️

We’re back open! 🍕

Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend! We’re back today and ready for lunch.

The weather is beautiful, the patio is open, and a couple of slices sounds like a pretty easy lunch to us. ☀️🍕

Come enjoy the afternoon with us in Village District!

Some favorites just never change. ❤️

When I was a kid, this was my go-to — Baked Penne.

I can remember sitting in the dining room eating it and customers at the table behind me asking what my favorite thing on the menu was. My answer was easy: baked penne.

Many, many years later, people still ask me that question... and my answer is still the same.

I don't even know exactly what it is about it. — I just love it.

Still my favorite. ❤️🍝

See you tonight!

Cleaning out my parents’ house recently, I came across this old review from Restaurant Guide Technician from **Wednesday, October 1, 1986**.

Of course I had to stop when I saw Piccola Italia. 😊

It was fun reading what someone had to say about us almost 40 years ago—especially the mention of our made-from-scratch tomato sauces and “truly excellent pizza.” Some things haven’t changed much. 🍕🇮🇹

And seeing **Cameron Village** at the top definitely takes you back!

Does anyone remember eating at Piccola Italia around this time?

Okay, you can only pick ONE...

Chicken Parm or Eggplant Parm?

No substitutions. No “both.”

We want to hear it. 👇
