Santa Panza

OMG! The food!! The flavors they were able to coax out of dishes I've had before made me upset with other restaurants! The calamari was perfection; tender, crispy and spectacular tartar sauce pairing. The Margherita pizza was even better than I had in Milan a few months ago. The bronzini was served simply with cherry tomatoes but that's where "simple" stopped. The skin was perfectly crisped and the fish was tender and melted in my mouth. I learned how to make tiramisu in Italy but I feel like I didn't learn anything, the tiramisu at Santa Panza was decadent yet light and airy. The "crispies" on top added texture and a playfulness that elevated the dish. Evro was attentive and made us feel like we were having dinner at home. We have axiomatically found our new favorite restaurant! Oh, by the way, the price was extraordinarily fair for the entire meal. My mouth and my wallet are ecstatic.

Santa Panza on Broadway in Brooklyn, New York, holds a special place in my heart. It's become my go-to spot whenever I'm in the neighborhood, and for good reason. First and foremost, the pizza here is simply outstanding. It's the kind of pizza that makes you wonder if you've ever truly experienced great pizza before. The crust is perfectly thin and crispy, and the toppings are fresh and generous. The flavors are both classic and inventive, catering to all tastes. The atmosphere is inviting, with a cozy and rustic charm that makes you feel right at home. Whether you're dining in with friends or ordering takeout, the experience is consistently delightful. What sets Santa Panza apart, besides the amazing pizza, is the friendly and welcoming staff. They go out of their way to ensure you have a great dining experience, and their knowledge of the menu is impressive. The location on Broadway adds to the overall appeal. It's a great spot to enjoy some pizza and people-watching, soaking in the vibrant energy of Brooklyn. In conclusion, Santa Panza is a Brooklyn gem that never disappoints. It's a place where you can indulge in exceptional pizza, enjoy a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and leave with a smile. If you haven't been, it's high time you discover the magic of Santa Panza on Broadway.

When I first moved into the neighborhood we stumbled in a couple years ago and were blown away by the pizza and cocktails. Specifically the SP pizza & Salami Piccante. I love negronis and they offer 3 different kinds! Came again with my girlfriend and the mushroom risotto changed my life. Then we suggested SP for a triple date but that evening for some reason the food was off. I was actually embarrassed I suggested the restaurant because we were raving about SP to our friends. Came again with another friend and it was delicious (got the ragu and some pizzas). Came for brunch and not so great. Just very inconsistent on delivering delicious food. We hadn't been in almost 6 months so we decided to come in for happy hour and we're pleasantly surprised. We got the seafood pasta, 2 pizzas and the watermelon rose. Everything was delicious. Service is always great and love dining on the patio when it's open. Hopefully next time it will be a hit.

Santa Panza is a staple of this part of town. If you have any doubts, don’t waste your time, stop reading and pop by. This is not (New York style pizza but really awesome brick oven stuff) . The whipped ricotta is absolutely delicious and a great mouth opener for one of their pizzas. Their seasonals are great and veggie options hit the spot. We’ll keep coming back for more. Keep up the good work Santa Panza, it’s been great to see you making a name for yourself around here. Make sure to order spicy olive oil.

Came here for happy hour and got the crudo, the santa panza pizza, and a couple beer/cocktails each. Great happy hour deal! $4 off pizza and some drink specials as well. The $10 mezcal negroni and the rose sangria were both strong and super tasty. Their keg was kicked so they offered me a canned beer for the happy hour draft special price which was tasty. The crudo was amazing. Super delicious. The pizza was very good as well; I do wish the crust was a bit more crusty/less floppy toward the middle of the pizza though. I'd give a 4.5 stars if I could, and if they could nail a perfectly crispy crust that would bump it up to five for me (or maybe some people like the floppier crust style and that's intended, idk). Was still delicious just made eating it slightly messy. The pizza is a good size for the price; that and the crudo was enough food for the 2 of us with a small snack later at home. Service was great, atmosphere was great. Cute date spot. They have a nice looking outdoor garden patio thing but it was a bit hot so we opted to eat inside. All in all a great spot in the area and I'll definitely come back and try some other pizzas.
