Low Risk

Piezano Pizzeria appears in inspection records 12 times, starting in 2022. Piezano Pizzeria was last inspected on Nov 13, 2025. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around eight violations to closer to five violations per visit over the last few inspections.

When inspectors have written things up, “covered waste receptacle not provided in women&#39” has been the most frequent reason, cited five times.

Compared to the broader Titusville restaurant scene, where the average is 68, this is a stronger showing. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
