Pranzo Pizza & Pasta is a Water Street standby for slices, trays of Sicilian-style pizza, and straightforward pastas that are priced for FiDi lunch budgets. It’s less about destination pies and more about dependable, filling counter-service meals when you want something hot and Italian-leaning under $15.
