Restaurant review: Paisano’s is a little place offering big taste

A 10-inch, New York-style veggie pizza at Paisano's Pizza in East Brainerd comes with toppings of green peppers, black olives, tomatoes and mushrooms.

Just like in the movies, gooey mozzarella cheese drips from every bite of a Paisano’s pizza – layers of good stuff filling every slice.

Paisano’s Pizza is one of several restaurants to have opened in the Chattanooga area within recent months. The Gunbarrel Road location opened in September, making it one of 35 Paisano locations and the first one in Chattanooga.

THE SPACE

The place is tiny, but efficient. It’s the little storefront couched in the curve between HoneyBaked Ham and Cricket in the same complex as the Gunbarrel Road Walmart.
