When it comes to comfort food, it’s hard to beat the pizza and pasta staples of southern Italian cooking. And since 1968, Folliero’s Pizza and Italian Food has been a beacon for all those in need of those simple comforts. More than just a good pizza place, this salt-of-the-earth restaurant offers a solid red sauce-based menu with a good range of lunch and dinner options for both meat-eaters and vegetarians.
