Hidden gem within a super cool historical building that's serving up AMAZING wings, pizza, and craft beer. I finally got the chance to check out Lees Grocery for a superbowl dinner and will definitely be returning. The atmosphere was very laid back and although it was pretty empty when we went, I can imagine it's a fun spot when it's more busy. The inside is smaller than I anticipated it to be, but I enjoyed it. Made it seem homier. I was surprised to see the large outdoor seating area, which seems great for larger groups! Food: The wings are absolutely amazing. We ordered the 10 wings, plain, with hot and mild sauce and blue cheese on the side. The wings were so perfectly seasoned and almost reminded me of the wings on a rotisserie chicken, nicely smoked. We also got a plain cheese pizza pie, 18''. It came out fresh, hot, and the cheese and sauce had great flavor. It does have a thicker chewier crust. Parmesan cheese, oregano, red pepper, and garlic powder are available to add on top. There were a lot of fun pizza options/ combos and we'll be back to try the more interesting flavors. I'm also interested in trying the garlic parmesan wings. The nice thing about smaller joints like this is that the food comes out quick and so fresh! No food is sitting around when the kitchen is so close to the main dining area. Drinks: They have such a large variey of canned craft beers, ipa's, seltzers, and even non-alcoholic beers. There were also 6 different draft beers. I sipped on some Surfside's, while my boyfriend enjoyed the Tampa Export gold lager. It was a very light and crisp beer. The bartender was great and let us sample a couple of the beers and even made a mix of a sour and seltzer beer that she likes! read more

Customer service was very friendly and patient, even though it took us a while to order and we came in close to closing time. I really appreciated how welcoming and approachable the staff was. The atmosphere felt comfortable and family-like, and I loved that they don't hold back on the toppings. The flavor combination of how all the different toppings work together was even more enjoyable than the pizza underneath it for me personally. For this style of pizza, I'd definitely recommend getting something with sausage. The sausage was easily the best part for me, and this style of pizza really complemented the sausage they used. The crust had a little bit of a spongy texture which makes it a very filling pizza. read more

Had family on her for an early Mother's Day. Lees is usually pretty good the last couple times we had it, so this was really disappointing. My husband mentioned some of the wings tasted a little off and I honestly thought there was no way, but sadly multiple people ended up with what seemed like food poisoning symptoms after eating here. It was 4 adults from 3 different households, and the only food/drinks we all had were Keke Do You Love Me and the buffalo wings so it really narrowed things down. Not trying to be dramatic or bash the place, just wanted to share our experience because it's been a rough read more

Thursday 9/12/2024 Was looking for the best pizza in Tampa through Reddit and this was the most popular spot that was mentioned. I made a takeout order for an 18" dead man's pizza $27 and 10 wings (half bbq & half sweet Thai) $16. The ordering and pick up process was easy and the workers were cool. - The dead man's pizza aka meat lovers pizza was highly disappointing and underwhelming. * It tasted overcooked & slightly burnt and also the extra oregano and seasonings on the pizza were not needed at all. The pizza was a miss. - The bbq wings were the half I had as my cousin had the sweet Thai half and they were AWFUL. * These wings were dry, overcooked, and tasted like they had been out for while (you can tell they weren't fresh or moist). * The only slight positive I can say is that the sauce was alright but that's literally it. Overall, this spot was an awful experience and it seems Reddit can't be trusted for pizza spots in the Tampa area but then again everyone got they own taste buds. read more

PIZZA - it's just not that good and it's DEFINITELY not worth $25 a pie. In fact it's pretty flavorless. Cheese has no pull and is again...FLAVORLESS. I don't eat Dominos or Papa Johns because of the not so great ingredients but in this instance I don't think either could have been much worse. WINGS - got hot and bbq. Hardly any sauce on the hot ones. Flavor was meh. read more

I don't like writing about how great this place is because then more people will find out about it! But it's my job as a Yelper to tell the people the truth and the truth is Lee's is one of the best. Tucked in a neighborhood in an old general store building, they have amazing pizzas and wings. They also feature some of the best beers on tap and have several beer fridges where you can choose your beer as well. They have a bar area, intimate dining room and outdoor patio area for seating. I've seen a lot of people do pick up as well for food and beer. You can choose your own pizza toppings or order several that are already designed like the Dead Mans party, with ham, sausage, pepperoni, meatball and bacon. Hours are Tuesday-Sunday 3-10. Parking is available on the streets surrounding the restaurant. read more

Overall the experience at Lee's was pretty great. I've been to better and worse local pizza joints. Nothing special about the Caesar Salad. Worth it? Maybe The Pizza was good. I felt like the toppings were a bit light or unevenly distributed. The flavor was pretty good though. The service was good. Some of the workers could be a bit awkward but that's about it. Not much on the ambience or vibe. Really just your pizza bar joint with some beer. Pretty simple. Great patio for the dogs. The value could have been better. Toppings and special pizzas were a bit overpriced compared to the standard cheese. It was a good pizza, but I felt like we could get the same quality for at least a few bucks cheaper. Same with the salad. Nothing bad at all but it may just be an occasional spot rather than frequent or new favorite. read more

Sweet neighborhood spot. Locals must feel real lucky to have a hang like this nearby. Great music playing, good selection of drinks, alcohol and non-alcohol. This spot has limited table seating inside, a couple high and low tops and bar seating as well umbrella covered patio tables outside in the courtyard. Street parking early. No idea how crowded this spot gets later in the evenings but it got busy pretty rapidly after opening. Only thing weird was the pizzas got delivered all out of order. I'm guessing they batch prep by pizza type but it all came out hot and good so no worries. Will def head back here for a laid back meal w good music. read more

Meh, pizza was decent. The crust was fluffy and crisp, however when I picked up a slice all the toppings slid right off. This is the kind of pizza you need to fold because it's so thin and floppy. Overall, it lacked depth of flavor. read more

Lee's Grocery - Pepperoni and ham pizza - Pizza Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Lee's Grocery is the epitome of "If it ain't broke don't fix it." Simple concept, beer, wine, pizza and wings. It has a neighborhood tavern feel.  And walking in the aroma of pizza was amazing. It is a small venue with bar seating, two long high tops and two regular tables on the inside and then some outside seating.  It was pretty warm inside on my visit.  The beer selection is extensive with cans and bottles as well as drafts.  What I really liked is the drafts from what I could tell were all from south Florida including one from Oveido Brewing in the Orlando area and one from Tank in the Miami area. It must be a popular spot because it was recommended especially for the wings in two of the breweries we had visited that day. So the service was very good.  Ordered the wings 10 for $12.99 and they don't do half orders.  So we did an order of the garlic parmesan and an order of the thai chili.  The wings here are wet and taste like they are baked not fried.  The garlic parmesan were the best of the two.  The thai chili was more sweet with very minimal heat. Both were good. I really liked Lee's grocery and I will definitely return if I am in the area. read more

Lee's is one of my favourite little spots to just eat some pizza and wings and wash it all down with a cold beer. They have excellent pies with unique combinations. I really like their Sriracha Bbq pizza in their "secret menu" ;) When it comes to wings, these bad boys fall right off the bone! They are baked and usually covered in rosemary. They look like someone dropped them in the grass but trust me they are delicious haha! They have a wide variety of beers on tap as well as bottled and canned. Briney Melon Gose is my go to! It is a small set up inside and they are usually pretty busy but they do offer outdoor seating. Also it is only street parking so that is something to be aware of. read more

Pizza was dry and did not have enough sauce on it. Been coming here for a long time but not any more.

This place was on point! I'm impressed with the perfectly cooked pie and wings we got ;the wings were crispy but not over done , and the pie was well done and didn't flop in the middle . The vibes were super chill the music was good and they were playing the fifth element! The wait staff behind the bar was friendly and attentive. I'll def be back to hang out here again some time , there's a great selection of canned and draft craft beers and the vibe is very chill. read more

We got a pizza and a salad for take out over the weekend. We really enjoyed it. The salad was solid with great dressing and we got the supreme pizza in the larger size offered and it was huge. Very reasonably priced for what you get as well. Looking forward to going in and checking it out over some beers. The chill unpretentious neighborhood bar vibe was right up my alley! read more

We hadn't been to Lee's since before the pandemic began. The pizza was still amazing. We had the Kiki Do You Love Me. It was just as I remembered...crispy and fresh. We also had some garlic parm wings. They could have been crispier, but they were still good. Service was a little slow and I think our waitress just finished her shift without telling us. The other employees noticed and got us our checks and stuff. We went inside to pay and they were very apologetic. We were totally fine though...we were having fun just chilling and hanging on the patio. We will be back soon! read more

It breaks my heart to do this but after this last experience at Lee's I had to update my review. Hubby and I used to visit Lee's regularly when we lived in Tampa. We were back in town this past weekend for the first time in almost 10 months and we invited a few friends to join us. Hubby and I arrived first so we grabbed a table. The bartender came over and we each ordered a draft beer. A short while later, all but one friend had arrived so we placed our food orders. I mentioned to the server we were on separate checks. The pizzas took a long time to come out. And when they did, they weren't the same. The crust wasn't as crispy or seasoned as it was in Lee's prime. It felt like I was eating at a different place. Our server never came back to check on us or to see if we wanted more beer. One of our friends had to go up to the bar to ask for our checks. The server finally came back and had everything on one check. I didn't feel like going through the trouble of splitting it so we just used Venmo. The service at Lee's has gone way down hill. The pizza just isn't the same. I first noticed the decline before we even moved but wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. Now I doubt I will ever be back. read more

I want to give this place 3 stars because I hated the customer service experience but for how delicious the pizza was, I just can't do under a 4 so take this review as a 3.5 lol. When u walk in it looks like a local pub with its weekday regulars huddled around a tiny TV watching sports. It's not obvious they sell food at all and "grocery" being in the name is already misleading enough. The person taking food orders was a bartender with no personality at all. I thought maybe he was just being that way towards me personally, but he was like that with everyone. I wasn't greeted, I had to ask for a menu once I sat at the bar instead of it being automatically offered, he asked if I wanted a drink and I said "It's Cinco De Mayo so why not? I just know anything about the craft beers you sell." Do you think he offered to recommend something to me?? If you said yes in your mind... YOU THOUGHT WRONG! I ordered a Buffalo chicken tossed pizza TO GO because I didn't want to be in there anymore. I ate some of it in the car and it was honestly one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Flavorful toppings and the crust was baked to perfection with the perfect balance of soft and crisp. They come in 3 sizes. I ordered the 10" which was $12.99. I'll be back... but never to dine in. read more

Pizza and beer and outdoor seating! Hands down the best beer selection in town....and the pizza crust . Swoon! Seriously, if you've never been, just try them, I have a sneaky feeling you'll love them! Personally I'm a fan of their Dead Man's Party Pizza, but any of their pizzas are phenomenal! Back to the beer.....where else can you go where they have a HUGE selection by.the.bottle/can for individual purchase and straight from a cooler, and they have some on tap as well. Amazing pizza. Best beer selection. Outdoor, or indoor, seating. Cool things to look at. Go. Eat. Drink. Swoon. read more

Some of the best "standard" pizza (ie. not gourmet, wood-fired, farm-to-table- sourced pizza like Pizza Box or Gregario) I've found since moving to Florida, along with Hampton Station, Eddie & Sam's, etc. Even if it did kind of look like someone squeezed bird droppings on my last pie.. ;) a little presentation goes a long way, all the way to 5 stars! Beer selection is pretty good. I cringe when hip pizza places expect you to pair your pie with sweet marshmallow stouts -- they had a decent amount of lagers, wheat beers and IPAs on draft, definitely appropriate for the cuisine, and plenty more coffee lactose berliners in the packaged section for the more exotic types. read more

Great Pizza and wing . Good service and great food,nice staff and happy people. Central location

This was a spot that's been on my list for a while now and I'm so happy I went. A solid local business that focuses on good pizza, wings, and beer. They have some solid local drafts. Interior is half bar half package store with comfortable relaxed vibe. Has a great community energy and service was welcoming and energetic. Tara was wonderful and genuinely great at her job. Will be on repeat in the future! read more

Horrible service which was only saved by the food quality. We went to the bar to get menus for pizza, and even asked if that is where we needed to go to order food after waiting about 5 minutes. We wanted to make sure that we didn't need to be seated to order food. When we finally caught the bartender's attention and asked our question he gave us a sheepish "yes" and then took off for another 10 minutes while actively avoiding us. And to be honest the only reason the bartender came to serve us was because we took some beer out of the self service fridge and he came to lecture us about the pricing. We also had to borrow a menu from another customer because he didn't give us one. I understand that a lot of places are understaffed and people are overwhelmed, but my dude crossed the length of the bar about 20 times and chose not to help us. As for the food, the pizza had a good soft crust and a good amount of toppings. We were expecting the chicken wings to be buffalo but they were more of a seasoned variety. We did appreciate that they gave us mostly drums and they were a good size compared to other restaurants. In the end he tried to charge us for the whole pack of beer even though my sister only drank one. I want to give this place another chance because it's a really cool spot and is a historic place. But if I were entertaining another guest in the area I would think twice. read more

Great little place with an unusual pizza menu, excellent pizzas and a great selection of beer. Very simple but cozy place. I do come back to this place whenever I am in the area. read more

One of my new favorite spots after trying it out this past weekend. The location is very nondescript located in the middle of a neighborhood. Be on the lookout or you may miss it. There are a couple of tables inside along with the bar and a larger patio area. The staff was very welcoming and quick to take drink and food orders. The kitchen is only open until 10pm so beware as the hours listed on some other sites may be incorrect. We tried a pepperoni pizza and hot wings and both were amazing. They came out fresh and steaming hot. The pizza crust was very good and not dried out like some places can be. The wings were very good sized and flavored well. So glad I finally made it here and will surely become a staple on my go to list. read more

Lee's is always a good place to have pizza and drinks with friends. The service is always spot on.

Lee's Grocery is a small neighborhood pizza joint in Tampa Heights. It doesn't have its own parking lot, so parking is just on the streets. I love the vibe of this place: it's laid back, with only one television, funny posters and album covers on the wall, and has a cool combo of music playing, ranging from 80's music to today's. They have a huge variety of beers and ciders in stock. I have become addicted to William's Dragon Breath Hard Apple Cider, and I love that they carry both that and William's Sir Perry Hard Pear Cider, which was delicious. I usually go here for pizza, and it is consistently great. Normal crust (i.e. not thick and not thin), and they are very generous with all the toppings. This past visit I also tried their wings, and they were fabulous. I think what made them so great was all the seasoning the wings had on them - they weren't just coated in buffalo sauce with no other flavor. Plus, the wings were nice and meaty, with not much fat. The bartenders are always friendly, service is quick, and the pizza and wings are delicious. I think this might be my new Sunday hangout. read more

I wouldn't say we are "regulars" here, but we have gotten food from Lee's more than once, and it's always been enjoyed. Ordered a take out pizza one week ago. Upon getting it home, and eating it, it tasted like it was burned. That's all we could taste. Turned a slice over, and the crust was black, definitely was burned. Have reached out to Lee's twice, and have not gotten a reply. read more

Lee's is a hole-in-the-wall pizza joint. It is a cute spot and has a nice selection of local IPA's and wines. I went there on a Wednesday and it was sort of crowded. Not a lot of room in there. But, the pizza is DELICIOUS. We ordered a pepperoni pizza with green peppers. We also got some bbq wings. The wings were good as well but a little on the spicy side for normal bbq wings. They have a few tables for outside seating that can give you a nice ambiance while you enjoy some pizza and cold beer. (Sadly we had to sit inside because it was blazing hot outside). Overall I recommend this place for a casual dinner and drinks night. It is reasonably priced for the quality and size of pizza that you are getting. Can't beat $5 for a cold glass of local beer! read more

Lee's? Yes, please! If you are looking for amazing pizza and local craft beers with a neighborhood hangout, this is your place! The pizza is delicious with a flavorful and thin crunchy crust.
