Piesanos Stone Fire Pizza
8075 SW 200 Hwy, Suite 101
Ocala, FL 34481
A beautifully decorated with the ambiance of a five star restaurant. This is not a pizza dive, it possesses the finer qualities of dining at a reasonable price. The menu offers many Italian speciality favorites, salads, deserts and pizza. The hostess, waitress/waiter and management, exceeds expectations, to make you feel appreciated.
After being seated, our waitress Felicity, explained the specials for the evening and took our drink order. She returned with our beverages and took our pizza order.
She returned with the complementary fresh baked dinner rolls, drizzled with Italian Dressing and spices. The dinner rolls alone, will make you return to this restaurant.
We ordered 1/2 pepperoni and 1/2 mushroom pizza. The sauce had a light sweet taste, with fresh mozzarella and generous toppings. The crust was perfectly cooked with a light crunch from the center to the crust, no soggy dough.
Piesanos has already made my return list. A placed to be pampered by the wait staff and fresh delicious ingredients prepared into a meal by their master chefs!

After ordering our beverages. Our complimentary dinner rolls arrived, straight from the oven.
We both ordered Chicken Fried Sirloin Dinners, smothered in white gravy. The dinners included 2 sides. She chose green beans sauteed in bacon rendering, I chose sautéed mushrooms and we both ordered baked potatoes.
Best deal in town, for a nice meal and service. You can’t go wrong!

Yummy House Chinese
3500 SW College Road,
Suite 400
Ocala, FL
A very nice, clean, social distance practiced restaurant. Prompt seating, service, observed many delivery and pick up orders, while there.
Most of us love Chinese food, there is a difference. Yummy House is a Cantonese Chinese cuisine. Most Chinese restaurants are Mandarin, similar but with different flavoring.
After being seated, we were greeted for our beverage order. My wife requested iced tea and opted for hot tea on a hot day, crazy. No they serve REAL Oolong leaf tea (not tea bags), the proper service for hot tea.
We started with sharing a family size Hong King Style Wonton Soup. Light chicken base with slight ginger flavor. Had pork filled wonton and fresh baby bak choy. Perfect blend of flavor!
My wife chose a favorite for many, sweet and sour pork, breaded fried pork, green pepper with pineapples slices, covered in sweet and sour red sauce.
My selection was Kung Po Chicken, a generous combination of chicken, green/red peppers, water chestnuts, celery, zucchini, red chili peppers and peanuts all blended in spicy Kung Po sauce.
As to the service, having Bernice along with three other subwaiter and head waiter Ming, you will never have an empty beverage, need or want go unanswered. If you’ve never tried or wanting authentic Cantonese Chinese, this is the spot!
