I was in the area and decided to check this place out, never been before, and it was great. Great friendly service and it was very clean inside. I ordered the fried pickle fries and a personal pizza, both were served hot and were delicious. read more

This was a GREAT WOOD FIRED pizza!This is joint I've always passed by and wanted to checkout since living in Tarpon Springs. It's located downtown Tarpon Springs, you are greeted upon entry, you have the choice to seat yourself, and I chose to sit outside! Sitting outside gives you some downtown-city vibes! I ordered one large pizza, half sausage, pineapple and the other half was made up with; mushrooms, bacon, chicken with extra cheese....SOOOOO DELICIOUS! #WoodFired I had a Strawberry Basil cocktail, and it was soooooo refreshing! You can get whatever you would like to drink as far as cocktails are concerned, they have a full bar. Service was really great, fast, and on point! The waitress was SUCH a delight and was VERY attentive! All-In-All, I will definitely be coming back, it's down the street from my crib, but next time I think I will try their speciality beers they have on Tap. (Beer and pizza pairs better) cheers! read more

We tried this place for the first time. it was extremely busy, but we found a place alongside the front window, which was a bonus because we got two people watch during First Friday. We decided to share a personal pizza which is perfect for two people because the slices are so large so each of us got two pieces. We also ordered the pickle fries. Those were OK, but not the best I've ever had. They said they were lightly fried, but they were pretty heavily fried and the pickles were very thin inside. The pizza was amazing but had too much flour on the bottom, but it was still very good. We would definitely go back again. Service was good as well. read more

First time customer ordering a simple 4 slice pizza. Waited 45 minutes only to learn my order was given to another customer. Bartender never checked up on my empty drink or the order until I was visibly frustrated and placed the credit card on the bar wanting to just pay for the one drink and walk out. Not impressed at all with the lackluster service. read more

I have to be honest...BackDraughts isn't what it used to be, and I speak as someone who's been going here since 2022. The staff here are still incredibly kind, and the ambiance is still warm and inviting, but the chefs are starting to lose their touch. Lately I feel like the quality is starting to go down a little bit, and the fact this is happening in tandem with rising costs is especially a problem. While a few new items were added, which is fantastic, I've noticed that quantity (both in how many choices they have as well as how many they can serve) seems to be taking priority over quality, which is a very big mistake. As I said a while ago their crust needed improvement...not only has that not improved but I've noticed they have a tendency to rush the pizzas now, and more often than not I find the crust burnt half the time, which is a yellow flag for me. I'm still baffled they're really sticking with pickle "fries" over traditional pickle chips (the former which never stays inside and is a sloppy mess), and they've gotten incredibly rusty with how they do the garlic-parm rub option to their waffle fries. Trying to be unique shouldn't be a restaurant's only focus; uniqueness in food choices means little when said food is unappealing...I honestly hate to say this, in spite of new additions to the menu, BackDraughts is starting to come up short. The food is still edible, and the drinks are okay, but its food is in dire need of improvement. read more

Cute intimate place. Service is good but don't rush as the pizzas are cooked in huge wood fired stove. The pizza was good, for me a bit doughy but my wife and kid loved it. It is a Pepsi place so that was a negative for me. read more

I was visiting a friend in Tarpon Springs for a quick day trip and she recommended we try this place out! From what I understand they have a couple of locations throughout the area on the coast! When we arrived we are able to be seated fairly quickly even though it was a large group of us. The place itself is very casual and gives you old school bar vibes, which was completely different from what I expected. For your pizzas you have the option to order them either personal sized (4 slices) or you can get a large to share (8 slices). They had small bites you could choose from as well such as buffalo cauliflower bites, cheese curds, and wings, but we opted to get straight to the pizza! We ordered the Bianca & the Chicken Alfredo Pizza. Bianca is one of my favorites so there was no surprises when I enjoyed it! The chicken Alfredo pizza was surprisingly delicious as well! I'm not a huge chicken Alfredo girl, but in pizza form with some bacon on top? Chefs kiss! Both pizzas are completely devoured. I love when pizzas are cooked all the way through at the bottom so it doesn't bend when you pick it up to eat it! This was a win in my book for sure, and I wish we could get a location closer to home! read more

Went to check out The nearby bike shop to see if they could do a tune up and add a kickstand. We decided to walk around after the bike shop. We were walking around and saw this place. I ordered a Guinness and water. For food I chose the Mediterranean Village Salad and on the waitresses' suggestion the White Hibiscus Pizza personal size. My son ordered a Caesar salad and the chicken Alfredo pizza. Our waitress was nice and patient with me as I asked questions. She was the only waitress and was handling about 18 customers with more coming in. The place was rustic if I had to say. They have a bar that takes up about a third of the space with a good draft beer selection and decent offerings of wine. There is music in the background but not overwhelming so you can have a conversation. A refreshing salad with a nice combination of tastes. The feta cheese, onions, and cucumber work well together. Oh the Guinness was good. Well here is my pizza. Interesting look. The balsamic glaze was excellent with the spinach leaves. I added some parmesan cheese just a tad. The tomato did not add anything in my opinion it was the meh of the pizza. It is a family friendly place so use that knowledge when you come here. We were seated next to a family who used an alternative method to discipline unruly children. Get extra napkins you will need to wipe the glaze off your mouth and hands. All in all this place was great. I give it 4.45 stars. read more

The margherita pizza was one of the saddest I've ever seen... barely any toppings it was basically bread with sauce. The dough was good, you guys just need to load that up more. Otherwise service was good. read more

Best made-from-scratch sangria I've had since I was in Barcelona, Spain! The bartender was super sweet and personable, too!

Terrible experience with carryout pizza this evening.....Didn't notice how bad until I had gotten home.....Went back to the store to show this picture and get a refund. The cook that cut and boxed my pizza was nothing but a smartass....There are many other pizza places around I would not eat here.....Completely shocked how they would keep an employee like that. read more

3 stars because the pizza isn't completely unfortunate but for me the flavor fell flat and it was over priced It's my least favorite Bianca pizza I've had. The pepperoni pizza wasn't great either. Again I've had worse so it's not completely unfortunate but it doesn't measure up to my pizza expectations as compared to other places in the general area by both taste and price. It was hard to finish eating I doubt I will return. read more

The cheese curds were awesome! Loved the red sauce. The pizza? Was "ok". There was just something missing. And I can't quite figure it out. Maybe rinse off the mushrooms? Loved that they were fresh but I could taste a bit too much "earthiness". All in all great service. Would go in person next time to avoid all the extra charges. read more

Terrible service. Waited well over an hour for a pizza that was bland at best. One gal working the bar solo, running her legs off. 2 glasses of house wine for me, 3 beers for my husband, 1 large margherita pizza plus 15% tip - almost $80. Once and done. read more

After feasting on Greek food and pastries the night before, we decided to stop at BackDraughts and are glad we did. Started with the addictive waffle fries with truffle oil and parm and a bottle of wine. Two personal sized, wood fired pizzas we yummy. And cannoli for dessert. All served up in a great atmosphere. Casual, but not at all sloppy. Great bar area, too. Our server, Jordan, was super friendly and personable. She took good care of us when we got there pre-rush, and kept tabs on us even after she got busy with the bigger crowd. The rest of the staff appeared to be professional and attentive as well. If we lived here, we'd be back. read more

BackDraughts Pizza - Pizza, wine, and an awesome server. - Pizza Near Me - Tarpon Springs, Florida

BackDraughts is a local favorite for the hubs and I. They are independently owned and a staple on Tarpon Avenue. Their pizza is wood fired and you can watch the pizza maker make them by hand, and slide them into the brick oven. They offer low carb pizza and Gluten free Crust. This was awesome while my hubs was doing the Keto diet. My favorite, are the meatballs and the Truffle pizza. The wings are yummy, but kind of small so I recommend filling up on meatballs! They always have a great selection of local beers on tap. The prices are a few dollars more, but the taste and customer service are totally wort read more

Consistently great pizza and attentive service! We also love the ambiance of that old building in downtown Tarpon.

I ordered the wings and some garlic bread with marinara on the side (bc a personal pizza was too large for me). The wings were super crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Slightly salty, but the texture was great. Garlic bread was not bad I didn't catch her name, but my server was super nice. read more

Located off the Pinellas Trail in downtown Tarpon Springs, it's a great location and an easy walk from our ABNB. We stopped here for dinner on a Thursday evening after visiting the Replay Amusement Museum (it's a few doors down and a must visit). We sat outside because the weather was perfect, but they have plenty of indoor seating inside. For dinner, we ordered a large Meatball & Ricotta pizza "well done" - it was perfect (and plenty of leftover for lunch). We washed it down with local craft beers - Two Frogs "Bull Frog" blonde ale for me and my husband had an Cycle Brewing "Crank" IPA. Would definitely go back and if we lived here we would be regulars. read more

The place was not clean. Old food and plates laying around. Average pizza and overpriced. Pizza Dough is bla. Nothing to write home about Don't get wings. They are dry, batch cooked and reheated and way overpriced. $8.95 for 8 dry wings that taste like they were stuck down the side of the couch. Guys, your public are your best marketers.

Stopped by Tarpon Springs while we were out for a drive and found parking close by to this restaurant Feeling like pizza and a beer we decided to try Backdrafts . The interior is nice and although it's smaller the tables are nicely placed with seating also at the bar and a few tables outside Our waitress was extremely pleasant and our food came out quickly ( White Hibiscus pizza ) and because it was St Pats weekend we had some Guinness The pizza was unique and delicious and the Guinness good The man behind the bar came out and asked customers at all the tables around us how they liked everything which was great except he completely ignored us . Maybe he just forgot but in a small restaurant I thought it was strange Otherwise I would have given five stars read more
