🏆 Pezzo : wins big, gulfshore Business “best of business” awards
We're thrilled to share some incredible news — Pezzo has officially been recognized in the 2025 Gulfshore Business “Best of Business” awards, and the honors are nothing short of humbling. Thanks to your continued support, we've been named:
Best Pizza in Southwest Florida
Best New Restaurant
Finalist for Best Martini
🍕 Best Pizza in Southwest Florida
This one hits home. When we opened Pezzo, our goal was simple: serve the kind of pizza we’d be proud to share with friends and family — no shortcuts, just quality ingredients, traditional techniques, and a whole lot of passion. To be named Best Pizza in the region by Gulfshore Business is a huge honor, and it reinforces everything we believe in: that real pizza, done right, brings people together.
🥇 Best New Restaurant
Winning Best New Restaurant feels especially meaningful. Opening a restaurant is no small feat — it takes vision, hustle, and a team that refuses to cut corners. Since day one, we’ve worked hard to build something unique in Estero: a spot that’s equal parts welcoming, stylish, and centered around exceptional food. This award tells us we’re on the right track, and we’re so grateful to our amazing guests for making it all possible.
🍸 Finalist for Best Martini
Yes, we’re serious about our pizza — but we’re equally proud of our bar program. Being recognized as a finalist for Best Martini is the perfect nod to the care and creativity our bartenders bring to every cocktail. Whether it's our house-infused espresso martini or a seasonal special, we craft each one to complement the food and elevate your night out.
💬 Thank You, Estero and Southwest Florida
These awards are a direct result of your support — our guests, our neighbors, and our community. We're beyond grateful. The recognition only motivates us to keep raising the bar and delivering unforgettable dining experiences.
