Reviews for Piccini Italian Takeout in Torrance, CA
Delicious!!! We ordered two pizzas. One was classic pepperoni but added mushrooms. The other was the Meatball special and it... had both ricotta and mozzarella on it along with the meatballs and the fresh spinach we added. Both were amazing. My familygrew up near Boston and this pizza was as close to home as we've had. Salty tomato sauce, nothing sweet about it. Pepperonisliced so they curl into little cups when they bake. We didn't even feel the need to shake hot pepper flakes on top. It wasperfect without them. Everything was fresh and we could tell. They are our new go-to pizza place. Read more
This is my fav Italian place. The pizzas remind me a little bit of Argentina. The sauce, dough and cheese combine... perfeeeectly!! I?ve ordered Margarita Pizza and the prosciutto one. Also, pastas are very good too!! The braised beef one isbomb!!! Best Italian takeout in the area. Period. Read more
First time here. Greeted right away by a very friendly team member. We got 3 kid meals, came with a drink and a coloring kit. A... supreme pizza, cheese pizza, the cheesy bread and artichoke appetizer. Everything is so good! Definitely coming back! Read more
Pizza was undercooked, soft. Not much sauce. Kids cooking the pizza. It's not NY style. Not sure why such great reviews
After living in NYC for ten years, chicken parm sandwiches are one of my favorites. Having had Piccini's pizza I decided it's... time for sub. Two things that makes for a killer chicken parm sandwhich. Marinara and a slightly crisp, buttery Italian bread.You see, the two compliment eachother. The crispiness of the bread holds up from the marinara and the marinara helps soften thebread but it's the two that create a great texture and flavor. Combine that with a nice breaded chicken breast and cheese,melted open face in the pizza oven before serving... you have a wonderful sub. When I took my sandwich out of the bag, wrappedin it's nice papper, I could tell the bread was going to really soft but when I unwrapped it and opened up the bread, I wascrushed to see no marinara sauce. There was some cheese, chicken tenders brushed with sauce and some basil. I knew then this wasgoing to require a large drink to wash it down or I'd choke trying. Come on folks, it's not a chicken parm without sauce. It's ahazard without sauce! One can have soft chew bread, but no sauce? Now I could have given this no stars but truth is, it was wellseasoned and a very good size for the price. The chicken tenders might scare you off but it was flavorful and a nice consistencyfor a sandwich. Yes it was dry and chewy but it has potential. If you would say least put sauce on it, this 2 start goes up to3. Open face broil that baby so the cheese, sauce and chicken become one and and the bread is hot and you have 4, Change thebread and it's a 5 star sub. At least add sauce, please! Read more
We ordered delivery from here last week. We had the anza meatball pizza and the pear and pecan salad. The salad was fantastic.... We both loved it and look forward to ordering it again. The pizza was also great. Wife and I agreed, they have the best crustof any pizza place we've tried in this area. Meatballs were great. Ricotta tasted fresh and wasn't overpowering the otheringredients. All around, all the ingredients were good quality. My only small issue was the amount of sauce on the pizza. Maybeit's a personal preference, but we prefer a bit more sauce. Next time I order, I'll ask for a bit more, or for some extra onthe side. The packaging was well done. You can tell the owners want to make a good impression. They included a coupon for ournext order which we look forward to making soon. Read more
We heard about Piccini through a friend and we thought it was great. A large selection of pizzas (even a vegan one for the wife)... and they were delicious. Dominos- step aside! We also got a salad and some meatballs and they were very nice. We called up toorder and collected ourselves. They have curbside pickup too. The staff were very friendly and the interior was clean andtidy. We will definitely be back because I need to try all the other pizzas! Read more
This place is take out (or delivery) only. Although, if you stop by you can order food and there is a high top table and a... couple of chairs outside the door to eat. Their pizza is amazing (if you're a vegan, the vegetables come out al dente on thecooked pizza which was a big plus from my daughter's boyfriend). I love their pepperoni pizza ... but I'm also a huge fan oftheir chicken breast sandwich with spinach, little tomatoes and melted provolone. ????. Awesome. Read more
