Score
Inspectors have visited Pizzafiore 10 times, with records going back to 2022. Pizzafiore was last inspected on Mar 2, 2026. A high risk tier suggests the facility had a rough recent inspection, with multiple violations on record.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around 11 violations to closer to nine violations per visit over the last few inspections.
“Nonfood-contact surface soiled with grease” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing eight times across the record.
Compared to other North Bay Village restaurants (averaging 69), there's room to close the gap. Taken together, the history suggests a facility that has struggled with consistency.
