Pizza was delicious, service was good and it was a very busy night! The Cafe is very nice, you can see them making the pizzas and other items, will definitely be going back

So let me tell you this is one of the best hidden gems in Spring Hill! Went and order 30mins before they closed and got a large italian sausage large pizza. My only complaint is the sausage add was a little sad. The pizza had so much flavor, especially that rich, garlicky taste that tasted real and fresh, not like fake powdered garlic. You can really tell the difference. The sausage was flavorful, the pizza came out hot and fresh, and everything worked together perfectly. Here's a little secret if you didn't already know. The owner is related to Joey, who used to own Joey's House of Pizza in Nashville, which makes a lot of sense because the pizza had that same delicious quality. I love Joey's house pizza and the owner is Joey's daughter! If you are around definitely a spot worth trying if you love a well-made pizza. They have subs, desserts, pasta you name it! The people was fast and super friendly when we picked up our pizza even though it was close to closing time.

I knowww you're waiting for my review remember it's my own opinion and experience Let go for what you're coming to read are this place it's what people and they said We order two cheese slices and 2 double crust and too be honest that pizza taste like was made 2 days ago so old and bad I was really disappointed because my expectations was high coming from family from joes the house pizza they let me down Cheese was gummy and not tasting right that crust you don't want me to said really waiting my time and money Overall maybe for Spring Hill area this place is good I don't know why because they can getting a fresh pizza anywhere else that old slice over heating like leftover from home when you order from regular pizza place for next day meal I amost forgot that lasagna oppsss straight to the trash cans I don't want go full detail on that.......

Garlic Knots Half (3)

First time here yesterday(7/18/26). Drove over an hour after seeing on TikTok. Friendly greeters as soon as you enter the restaurant. The pizza was decent. The sausage link was covered in marinara sauce and was decent. The garlic knots were disgusting.... At least 3-5 bulbs of raw garlic covered 3 garlic knots. Pictures of everything below. However, the service was awful. When ordering our food, I had to repeat my order several times to the cashier. She was constantly looking off at coworkers, talking to coworkers or checking her cell phone. As she is talking, she also rubs her nose, twice that I counted and did not wash her hands or use sanitizer. My partner noticed and said, "she is only taking money and orders and not fixing our food."(Thankfully)! After paying and sitting to wait for our order, I noticed my order is wrong on my receipt. I ordered Italian sausage spaghetti and she rang me up for an Italian sausage link. When I asked her if the link was the spaghetti, she said "no." I said I ordered spaghetti not a sausage link. She replied " I heard what you said and that's not what you ordered." ( as if I don't know what I ordered). She then asked rudely if I want to change my order. I did not because I'm not going to argue with a cashier who has access to people fixing my food. We got our order and decided this was a one and done visit and will go elsewhere to spend our money and get nice customer service and food that we actually ordered.

Pepperoni Stromboli
Scott G.

Walked in and greeted right away. Asked if we had any questions. Runner was cleaning off tables. Place very clean. Bathrooms very clean and stocked, too. Got the "moma Pizza" slice, pepperoni stromboli, 1/2 garlic knots and fountain drink all for $27.43. Pizza had pepperoni, jalapeño, Hoy-honey sauce. Pizza slice was huge, hot, too heavy to pick up at first bite. We give the Pizza rating a 9.5. also got a pepperoni Stromboli, which I would give a 9.4 as well, and the garlic knots were the best I ever had which I would give a 9.9 out of 10. wish Nelly's wasn't so far from Nashville. Will definitely make the drive again. It was well worth it. Food

I finally was able to try and stop by Nellys. I like this place a lot even though I didn't get the full experience with trying the rest of the menu. I wanted to just try a slice of pizza and it didn't disappoint. I think as far as the Nashville area goes, nellys puts themselves as a top tier pizza joint. There isn't much competition out there for a classic any slice so Nellys by far takes the cake, they are top 3 in my opinion.

Half cheese half pepperoni and mushroom. And a Stromboli.
Steve S.

We love this place. Hands down the best pizza in the area. And this time we tried a Stromboli. Fantastic! And if that isn't enough, Nelly and her staff are always welcoming and have great customer service. And the online ordering was easy and quick. I recommend putting this place in your regular rotation when dinning out or take out.

Double crust slice
Alex M.

would definitely suggest nellys if you're looking for the taste of an authentic mom & pop pizza joint in NJ/NY. Portions are huge- really great value and tasty food. We got the last booth right before the dinner rush around 6:30. Ordered at the counter and the food was brought out piping hot a few minutes later. My favorite was the supreme slice, they are very generous with the toppings. My boyfriend's favorite was the double crust slice. The deep dish square pizza was awesome dipped in the marinara cup. Garlic knots were enormous! It was so refreshing to see a small joint like this packed with happy people. We also got 2 cannolis to go. Love this place. Staff was super friendly too!

When I first saw how young she was, I assumed she might not have much experience. I couldn't have been more wrong. As someone who has managed restaurants and trained servers myself, I can confidently say that Ema is one of the best servers I've encountered. This restaurant is very lucky to have her. She was professional, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. She knew the menu inside and out, explained dishes clearly, made excellent recommendations, and never missed a beat throughout our visit. Great service can make or break a dining experience, and Ema absolutely elevated ours. Now let's talk about the food. The calamari was, without question, the freshest and best calamari I have ever eaten. I've had calamari in many restaurants over the years, and this one was on another level. Perfectly cooked, incredibly fresh, and full of flavor. Honestly, it was so good that I would recommend this place for the calamari alone. We also ordered the Mushroom Pizza and the Smoky Chicken BBQ Pizza. Both were excellent, but the Mushroom Pizza was my personal favorite. The flavors were outstanding, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the pizza was cooked perfectly. From the service to the food and the overall atmosphere, everything exceeded our expectations. It's rare these days to find a place where every part of the experience comes together this well. Highly recommended. We'll definitely be back

Unfortunately, a large party of baseball kids sat near us shortly after, and things got pretty loud -- not the restaurant's fault at all, but we ended up asking to move inside for a quieter meal. Once inside, our waiter (an older gentleman) was attentive and sweet the whole night, which was much appreciated. We ordered the lasagna and a pizza -- the lasagna was good, but the pizza was just so-so. Overall, a mixed experience. The service was a highlight, but between the outdoor noise and average pizza, we probably won't be rushing back.

Over the years I've been eating here, the food has been consistently excellent. They have the best crust in town and that tantalizing ranch dressing is perfect for dipping. Their craft beer selection is on point, and I especially love the Tailgate Orange Wheat Beer on tap. Our server Latoya was fantastic--she's truly the best at what she does. Tonight, the ambiance was quiet and relaxing. Boombozz is hands-down my favorite spot for pizza in Spring Hill. Highly recommend!

This place has gone downhill! Used to have the best lunch combos for the best prices. I would…read morealways suggest to my friends that we go here, not anymore! The portion sizes and quality of food is poor, in comparison to what it used to be. I don't know if it's different management, or if they're using the excuse some other places do about inflation. Inflation, bah humbug! So, charge me extra. Just don't decrease the quality of your food and minimize the portion sizes!! I'ld rather go to high-end places that charge a small fortune, because they don't let the economy alter the quality of their establishments. No matter what, they continue to demonstrate they care about customer satisfaction. Get it together Boombozz! I've had lots of Cuban sandwiches, and yours was not good compared to the other ones I've had. The Ceasar salad was yucky also, in comparison to others. The dressing was crappy tasting, and it had Parmesan out of a can (not fresh grated like most restaurants serve with Ceasar salads.) I may give you one more chance, but if you disappoint me again, I will not come back. Too many other places to choose from, so I won't settle on a place that is not up to (past) standards.
