Ok pizza. I got two slices. Simple, just cheese. The construction of the slice and textures were spot on for a good slice but I'm thinking maybe that day was a little weak on flavor. I didn't taste cheese, daydreaming, or crust.... I'm not coming down with COVID, because my other meals this day were on point. Not sure but I'll give them a try again. I'm not impressed with the service. It was quiet in there. The server was nice but took muy order, brought it and disappeared. I heard the server chatting it up with another server the whole time. Close but out of sight. It was first time here and I shared that with the server. I thought I'd see them again to ask how the food was or refill my drink. Hope they make it. It's a new place. Looks like they're still renovating?

Family owned and they all showed exceptional customer service. They treated me like family before I even placed an order. Durim explained all of their specials and showed me what size pizza I would be getting before I even ordered.

As a native New Yorker and Tallahassee transplant of 5 years, I felt obligated to come on here and leave this gem of a pizzeria the best review I could. I have had pizza from many, many pizzerias in town here.. basically any pizzeria you can name local to Tallahassee, and this pizza is BY FAR the BEST NY style Pizza I’ve had since moving from NY to FL. I was lucky enough to grow up eating the best of the best pizza back home in NYC, so when I left 5 years ago and moved here, it only added to the homesickness just how… not as good as NY the pizza here in town is, to put it gently. Fast-forward 5 years of searching for a really good slice here in Tallahassee, and I stumbled upon Milano Pizza. I could go on for days of how authentic this pizza tastes to a good NY slice. The sauce, the crust, the cheese, everything about this slice reminds me of home, so much that I’ve eaten it 3 times since discovering it just last week. I have very high standards for pizza—by no fault of my own and solely because I grew up with the best of it—and while I don’t want to name names, the… *other* pizzerias in town don’t hold a candle to Milano Pizza. Thank you, Milano Pizza, for the slice that feels like home.

Was excellent pizza and I might return. Super great crust and tasty, flavorful sauce. My only compliant is they charged me for extra sauce on the pizza (most everywhere in FL is too light for me). I've never encountered extra sauce being charged as a topping so that is annoying. Anyhow, great pizza but a $25.54 is a bit steep for a Med 1-top.

Pizza was great! The crust is thin, cheese and pepperoni are awesome, and so is the sauce! The girl in the front was really nice, and even brought my pizza out to the front when I stepped to my car!
