Pizzeria Testa: Amazing Pizza Right in Frisco Square

I have to confess I have never been to Italy BUT my Husband has… For his birthday he wanted the family to go and try out Pizzeria Testa, in Frisco, because he had heard it was good. THAT was an understatement!!! It was delicious.  He has traveled to Italy and  after his first bite said, “Finally! This is what Pizza taste like in Italy!” All 5 of us agreed the Pizza was AMAZING.

Pizzeria TestaPizzeria Testa is located in Frisco Square, walking distance from the movie theater and library.  Notice the great Patio off the front and then another off the back.  The Back patio opens to a field area where the kiddos can play so you can actually enjoy a relaxing evening out with the kids and not have to rush out before they get unruly because they are board. (not that mine EVER do that:))

Amazing Patio with grass area behind for kids to play

Great back patio area

We actually sat at the Pizza Bar where my 8, 12 and 13 yr old all watched intently as the staff made pizzas and other goodies.  My 8 yr old asked the poor guy a 1000 question and he happily answered them all.

He watched the whole time we were there...

He watched the whole time we were there…

I wish I could share pictures of our yummy pizza but it was gobbled up before I got a chance to take one.  Go try for yourself it is Delicious!  Just another reason Collin County is a GREAT place to live.
