As close to Italy as you can get without a plane. – So amazingly good! I try to avoid gluten and this is my one and only splurge. Beautiful remodel and a real gem for Grand Ave. Both the pizza and the salads are outstanding. My favorite is the Mimi with fresh garlic rubbed onto that mouth watering crust with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil. Love the casual and artistic environment. Great management as well.

meh pizza, GREAT salad – I used to be a huge fan of Punch but haven't been there the last few years. I don't know what they've done to the pizza but it's has gone downhill for sure. As has been said before, VERY mushy center and VERY burnt crust. The toppings were all good quality but the pizza overall was very disappointing. But the thing that saved the meal was the salad. I've never been a huge salad guy but knew that one pizza wouldn't be enough for the two of us so decided to get one. This was honestly the best salad I'v... read more

Probably the BEST Pizza EVER! – After reading an article in Delta's Sky Mag, my boyfriend and I decided we needed to make a trip to Punch Pizza. One lazy Sunday afternoon (yesterday), we decided it was the perfect day for it. We inform the server that it was our first visit and she was very helpful in explaining the menu and how things at Punch work. She told us that their pizzas are make approx 10 inches and couples will generally order a salad or Antipasti along with the pizza, if the plan is to share the pizza. We ordered... read more

Punchs is overrated – Punchs has the idea that they can bake their pizza at 90 seconds at high heat. You know what that leads to? Burned crust with a mushy and raw middle to the pizza. They are very cheap with their toppings and leave at least a 2 inch gap between the edge and where the toppings start. Honestly, a totino's party pizza would have been infinately better. You such Punchs Pizza and it's a shame you refused to refund my money for shoddy pizza.

Nope – I love pizza. Based on reviews we visited the Grand Ave. location on a balmy Saturday night in late January. Grand Ave. is a great location as we first had a few drinks at another local establishment and then wandered over for pizza. Place was full but a booth opened right after we had ordered. Salad was great but all four of our pizzas were weak. Crust was nice and crisp but a little too charred. Charred enough to seriously detract from the taste of the crust. Portions had to be set aside since I'm trying to cut back... read more

Great place for a date – Try the Tuscano and get a large salad to share because it comes with more bread.

Crowd-pleasing Crust – Mmmm, the crust is the foundation of a great pizza. The ingredients are fresh and the service is great. Pizza is usually a crowd pleaser, but here it goes above and beyond.

mmmm...volcano pizza.... – My sister and brother in law recommended this place while I was visiting last weekend, and we ordered takeout, so I have no feedback on the restaurant itself. However, the pizza was good. The menu (which I unfortunately didn't keep) states that the restaurant is "one of the few" pizzerias outside of Italy to receive an official stamp of approval from the Naples Pizza Police, so it must be good, right? The crust, as you'd expect, is nice and thin. The flavor reminded me of freshed-baked naan like yo... read more

WOW! Exactly like I had in Italy! – This stuff is awesome! Just like the litttle roadside places in Italy! The center is never 100% "cooked", but that is what makes it so great; all of the respective flavors join there and it tastes amazing. I love how two pizza's are never the same, you want to just keep eating to see what flavors you get next. And the pizza chefs are quite entertaining also. Overall GREAT!
