High Risk NYC Grade: Pending

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. Villano Pizza was last inspected on Sep 29, 2025. A high risk tier suggests the facility had a rough recent inspection, with multiple violations on record.

The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around 14 violations each, up from closer to two violations before.

The pattern that stands out is “non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material”, which has been cited two times.

Restaurants in Bronx average 77, so Villano Pizza trails the local norm. The pattern in the record is worth a careful look.
