I have a new favorite Italian restaurant in the area AND they're open on Mondays!…read more We came in on Memorial Day which meant they were slow (apparently not a lot of pizza wanted on a grilling holiday?) but that was fine because we got a quiet restaurant and excellent service. I'm constantly chasing the flavors of my childhood Italian restaurant back home and I think I've found my closest match. First off, their pasta fagioli, absolute perfection. It's not just minestrone with pasta added in nor is it too tomatoey. It's the perfect level of veggies and pancetta and I ordered a bowl to go to have on hand as my "I'm sick" comfort food. The calamari was my only criticism, they serve it tossed in the marinara (and the spicy marinara isn't really spicy). That meant the crisp breading was soggy, but it was still well cooked and tasty - I'll just ask for sauce on the side from now on. House bread with herbed dipping oil - delightful outer crust and fluffy inside. My father had a caesar salad which was his only criticism - it came with a packet of Ken's brand dressing. For a place making most things from scratch, why they'd do commercial dressing let alone in a packet is beyond me. My father's veal marsala was cooked tender and the sauce wasn't overpoweringly marsala-y as many can be. My chicken francaise had the same level of meat tenderness and sauce balance and both came with perfectly cooked pasta. We had to judge on all levels of our go-to foods so we also ordered a slice of pepperoni which came with a sauce that wasn't too much nor too sweet and excellent cheese pull, thin but not cracker crunchy crust that has actual FLAVOR. Great ambiance, fun and attentive staff, and food near perfection - we have a new favorite!

Our first experience here wasn't the greatest. Ordered some food to go, and our family was split so…read morehalf ordered Chinese and half pizza. We were told 40-45 minutes on the pizza and timed the Chinese order accordingly. We sat in the parking lot waiting for an additional 20 mins past the 45 minute time for picking up. The pizza was good, but a bit soggy, the bruschetta bread seemed stale so we ended up using my homemade sourdough, and then it had good flavor. Just overall not the best experience - we might give them another try, but to spend $50+ dollars with tip on a pizza and bruschetta and have it all be a bit disappointing makes it difficult to consider trying again.

But Goodfella's Pizzeria & Italian Restaurant in DeBary is the real deal--it is hands down the best pizza I have had in Florida. While it's not quite a New Haven coal-fired pie, the crust has that essential chew and the toppings are actually fresh, which is a rarity down here. They use high-quality Grande cheese and you can tell the dough isn't just an afterthought. Living in Volusia, I'm just thankful this is in my backyard so I don't have to settle for the "wack" options or the chains. This place is a class act that actually respects the craft; they seriously need more locations because Florida is starving for pizza this good.

The restaurant itself is disappointing. You feel like you're walking into a Mediterranean restaurant and it's very casual in the atmosphere and decorations. I dined with a group of individuals and we all felt the same about the food in that it had zero depth of flavor or in the case of the broccolini and the chicken marsala, they both had a distinct sour flavor. We all asked for Parmesan cheese, which is not served as a part of the meal, you do need to ask for it. And we all needed salt. The service was another disappointment. Although they were nice and friendly, they were not attentive in just a little things were left off. When we raise concerns about the soreness of the food, they said that that's the way it was supposed to be. Overall, the price would lead you to believe that this is an upscale restaurant and the experience is very downscale

The food truck experience can be fun, and deliver a lot of variety. But never quite so much…read morescenery since you're staring at, well, a boxy truck. Not so with Big Love Pie. Sure it's portable, and sure it shows up at locations convenient to entertainment, just like food trucks. But it's an open trailer with a massive, gorgeous wood-fired pizza oven that's immediately visually appealing. A big part of the fun is watching them precisely control the wood temperature, smoke amount and flow, and tend to the fresh pizza you're about to enjoy. First you'll watch your home-made dough hand-stretched and hand tossed, then topped with items that vary by the visit. The whole process is entertaining and definitely whets the 'tite. And the result... wow! What an amazing crust! Your pie is about 12-ish inches in diameter with the outer 3/4" to 1" left mostly untopped, and for a good reason -- that crust alone might be your favorite part. It's thin, it's crispy, it's chewy, and it's almost flaky, put not quite pastry. It holds up and doesn't crumble, so you can pick up a slice of it just like it's a piece of New York pizza and fold it to hold in one hand. Not that those toppings will disappoint you. There are always a couple of staples, like plain cheese -- a creamy-good mozzarella -- which you can get in a zippy but light tomato or a white bianca sauce. And of course pepperoni in either sauce. They had goat's cheese and I got the impression that's something they offer most or all nights. The special toppings vary, and can be as simple as maple-chicken sausage with basil, or my fave, their super-thick, meaty bacon, diced flavorful tomatoes, topped with arugula. A squirt of balsamic sauce is a staple drizzle option, and perfect with this bacon-tomato number. Oh, and they'll make about anything you want... as long as they have the ingredients there. Owners Tom & Tracy are talkative, so I hung around to watch the process, and learned how much care goes into it -- how they've perfected the recipes. They even bring in special water for the dough so the minerals and pH deliver the right consistency that makes it marvelous. Their yeast is classified secret. The wood used requires a certain amount of seasoning times, and until now i never realized things like flame-rollover (affected by shape of the oven -- they've chosen an igloo configuration) and differences in temperature from oven floor matter so very much in how a pizza bakes. Their igloo-shaped oven is a heavy, concrete and mastik, tiled monster. Not sure any food truck can replicate the size and openness. The owners made it themselves after extensive study about what they theorized would distribute heat and flame ideally. The crust tells me they sure got it right. Some random but useful notes: They're not always at Central28. On Fridays and Saturdays they're currently at Celery City Brewing in Sanford. Beverages are just limited to canned sodas. Sometimes they will fold over that wood-fired dough into a sandwich style -- their salami, which I sampled, is well-chosen and doesn't rely on too much salt. They also have Crucially, there is a limited amount of dough and when they run out all you can do is watch the coals glow and wish you got there earlier. Still a nice view. I really enjoy watching that oven... simple things amuse me perhaps. Finally, I got the impression that the owners weren't yet sure what they have on their hands here -- they seem to have a lot of opportunities but it's clear from many things they do (limited amount per night) they want to keep things special -- they're perfectly with making fewer but better pizzas. That feeling came out in everything they said. So it's a "Craft-Style" Wood-Fired Pizza. It's truly "artesanal," an oft-misused word which should mean small, handmade batches that are never quite uniform, and totally original to the artist. It goes well with your Craft-Brewed Beer from whatever place they're parked outside of. Pricing (menu photo) is so well within reason it's not even a thought. A pizza can fill two light appetites or well-satisfy a hungry solo. I stupidly told them it was too cheap for this level of quality...(Then clamped my mouth shut. I hope that doesn't cost me on my next visit!) The downsides are kinda obvious: limitations on the portable (food truckish) style. I'll mention 'em: There's only a place to sit in the establishments they're near -- they have no tables. They have a VERY limited menu. You'll get wood-fired pizza or sandwiches. Salads or sides are infrequent. They're in different places different nights, so you hafta know where they'll be, but I think they're now posting location and menu specials nightly on Facebook (@biglovepie) which is easy to check. And no, there's no alcohol -- that's the point...these folks do the food right outside where you get your beer. Big Love Pie does one great thing, and does it better than anybody else I've tasted, maybe ever.

We…read morewere skeptical about the pizza because it kinda just looked like every other average pizza that you can get in this area but it was surprisingly really good! We did pay $3 extra for mushrooms though and I felt like at that price it could have more mushrooms on it. Next time I may buy a pack from the grocery store for $3 and add all of it to my pizza. The pizza was cold when we picked it up but maybe it jut got finished sooner than they told us? I should've put it in the oven when we got home to make it better. Tiramisu was about $5 but was a pretty small piece. It was pretty delicious though! A bit on the sweet side but they actually used lady fingers which is a plus because a lot of places in this area use cake according to my local friend. I can't speak for their pasta or other types of pizza. The store itself is really small, only a few tables inside. They do offer a pizza challenge! If you eat 28 inch pizza in 28 minutes with 2 people, it's half off. I definitely want to try that one day when I'm hungry enough. I would come back here!
