WTF ISthis

17 Sep 2025

Absolutely loved this pizza. It was baked perfectly. The style was unique and they have a variety of cool food to try. I got the bbq pizza and it did not disappoint. The bbq sauce was smokey hickory. The veggies and chicken all went well together. Can't say enough good things about this place i will be back for sure. Side note i was so hungry I didn't take a picture of the whole pie lol. It comes in 6-8 slices. These are the last survivors

Delicious, everything is fresh. The chicken pesto sandwich bread is warm soft and buttery. The parm fries are so delicious and the cauliflower is so crunchy tender and flavorful. I love the espresso Martini but I could not finish it because it is a little on the sweet side but that is personal preference. Services absolutely amazing. I do recommend trying this place everything on the menu is worth trying.

Went for early light dinner at the bar at Annesso in Fresno. It was a good experience. Start with the Parm fries - dusted with delicious Parm.Their standout meatball appetizer, is rich and satisfying. The summer burrata with watermelon and tomato is an absolute triumph, offering a refreshing and innovative combination that's beautifully complemented by their perfect pizza dough bread. Paired with a chilled glass of Soave Classico, it's a truly outstanding culinary moment. Annesso is a must-visit for anyone seeking casual but excellent Italian fare in Fresno.

Pretty good food overall. Drinks are also pretty good. Old fashioned was a bit sweet, but I can see how that can be appealing to a broader audience. I've had the pizza and that was good. The parmesan fries were on most tables near me and they were good too. I wouldn't order them again, but they were good. The wings are pretty sweet, if that's your vibe.

Very busy come early or call ahead! But, once you get done spending 10 minutes looking for parking and navigating through the massive lunch crowd. You will be rewarded with delicious for. Beware it's a lot of food. I recommend sharing a plate. Enjoy! P.s., great bar

Food was awesome. Pizza is a solid thin crust. The meat ball sandwich was delicious. The bread it came on was soft in the middle and crunchy on the sides. We also ordered the Parm fries, and they were amazing. Nice and crispy with lots of flavor. Service was good and they didn’t leave you waiting for a long time. I did reserve a table before we left which was nice to sit right now when we got there.

(Fries are extremely good) now with that out of the way I need a disclaimer i will sound vastly negative but this food is good just hear me out. The line here is LONG there's a lot of people that like this place! To each their own but I simply feel like for the wait of this pizza and pasta it should be better and that is my hot take. It's still good! Maybe it's just me (seriously try the fries at least it is vastly different compared to other spots and extremely amazing)[if the fries in the picture looks small we simply ate too much before I remembered to take a photo]
