Peter's Pizzeria - Palm Beach County

The TL:DR, you want to get pizza here.Earlier this week, I received a text message from Nick Pasquale Marrone, the son of George Marrone, who founded Pasquale 's pizza chain in South Florida. I hadn 't heard from Nick in a few years since I wrote about him taking over as the head of Pasquale 's in Coral Springs, which serves as the chain 's flagship. Nick had a motorcycle accident a few years ago (he likes fast pocket rockets) and was unable to work for a long time.Nick has returned from his setback and is now the head pizzaiolo at Peter 's Pizzeria in East Boca. According to him, he now prepares his best pizzas ever because the owner, the young Peter Izzo, is a perfectionist when it comes to pizzerias. Peter grew up on Long Island, where he worked at pizzerias like Umberto 's and developed a taste for the finest ingredients.The restaurant acquires San Marzano tomatoes, both whole and filetto, and uses Grande Cheese, which is known to be the best low-moisture mozzarella for making pizza. They also use three Italian flour types, including Caputo 00, to make their dough. The dough undergoes a 48-hour cold-proofing fermentation, greatly enhancing the crust 's flavor. The dough has a high hydration rate of around 80 percent, which is unusual for a Brooklyn-style pizza.The pizzeria has old gas-fired Bakers Pride ovens from the 1980s, as Peter bought an older location. These ovens lack electronic control that new places have and are not precisely accurate. However, if you know what you are doing, they still get the job done. Nick, who grew up using the same kind of ovens at Pasquale 's in Coral Springs, has excellent skills, and combined with the raw materials Peter buys and the dough he makes, it yields phenomenal results.Peter is also working on a brand-new location in Pompano Beach, opposite Gallupi’s Restaurant on Federal Highway, and expects it to open in the next two months. When that occurs, the East Boca location will concentrate on being a slice shop, leaving the dishes and other things to the new location, which has a much larger kitchen and will be the central facility for making the dough.The pizzeria serves three types of sauces made with San Marzano tomatoes. For their 20 round pies, which are served as slices, they use a Brooklyn type pizza sauce. Their Grandma pie features a Marinara sauce, which is the most acidic of the three and has a strong garlic flavor. Finally, for their Sicilian pies, they use a Sicilian sauce that cooks with shallots and basil for four hours. This sauce is the sweetest of the three and was created specifically for the Sicilian pie. While excellent, it may not suit everyone 's taste as it leans towards the sweeter side.We ordered a slice of the Grandma pizza, which was fantastic, and decided on the sauce we wanted on our 18-inch Brooklyn-style pizza. We went with marinara sauce, sausage, fried eggplant, and roasted red peppers, and it turned out to be one of the best pizzas I 've had in a long time. We also asked for it to be well-done and were not disappointed with the result. The pizza was fully cooked with excellent crust blisters and a well-spotted underskirt.Whenever I evaluate a new pizza place, I look at how they make the dough, what ingredients they source, and the technical proficiency of the pizza baking. Peter’s hits all the checkmarks.

Their pizza and the pasta are amazing! The fried ravioli too!! My kids loved it! Definitely recommend and coming back! Their staff members super professional, helpful, and friendly.

I tried this place on 2023 during spring, I used to get one slice of pizza ,different style, everyday new one. On the first day of trying Peter’s Pizzeria I thought finally I found my favorite pizza but Nop, on second day it was even more better, in a week I tried 6 or 7 different style pizza and every one of them became my favorite. All of them were soo juicy, cheesy, flavorful, all of them had distinct flavour. It will take your test buds to heaven and make you question your whole existence. If you ever try a slice of pizza from here you will not want to see other pizza place for 100 percent sure, you will feel like other place were just serving doe not the flavor and love. It’s been a year and I haven’t found any place quite like this. No matter how many years it takes for me to get back to Florida no matter where I stay in Florida the first thing I will do is hop on a car and directly head towards the Peter’s Pizzeria. See you soon.

Delicious pizza very accommodating service. Love this place!

Peter and Jimmy run a great pizzeria out in Boca Raton. I’m from Long Island; I definitely recommmend!
