Time & again, the best places are in the most humble locations. Original Pizza is in a dated strip mall on Park Boulevard. Upon entry, you are whisked into a time capsule from the 1980s. Nostalgia will set in as you enter a true Northeast mom-&-pop pizzeria. The owners were as kind as can be. Their names are Carlos & Liz, & they offer a true New York pizza experience. We ordered a pepperoni pizza & for Florida, it was some of the best NY pizza around. Obviously the best is in NY itself...perhaps it's the water there. If you go to Original Pizza, seating is extremely limited. read more

The pizza and steak and cheese sub are good. I don't understand why they are closed so much. Several times in the last 30 days they have been closed 3 times that we were trying to order. read more

Ordered the cheesesteak w/provolone and onion and what a letdown (native pennsylvanian); Their was barely any steak (sparse) and it was chopped up very finely (and not in a good way) and didn't seem too fresh (like it was made earlier and sat in a warming pan) and barely any onions smh,just wasn't tasty at all and way too salty :-( Still looking for the best cheesesteak in the area (and I tried a lot down here in Florida and haven't found anything close to Pa cheesesteaks) read more

Omg the pizza is so delicious! So juicy the sauce is so good! I recommend and it's affordable!! Customer service has great!! read more

We picked up our order so I can't say much about the ambiance of the restaurant but the calzone was amazing as were the garlic knots (maybe the best I ever had) and the garlic bread was amazing as well. Really well priced for the amount of food you get here! read more

Family emergency came up and OPII Came to the rescue! Helped us cater and order everything for our family! We are grateful for all your service,professionalism and great pizzas and meatballs!!! Great food! read more

I can't say enough good things about this place and its owner. He is hands-on with the baking and a real gentleman. If I say too many good things, it may get discovered and crowded. I'd like to keep it a secret. But the pizza is the best around, and they load the toppings ( the few extra pepperonis per slice shows true compassion). read more

Great hand made pizzas, sandwiches and salads . one of the best in pinellas park . They make a good sicilian pie.

Pizza and Stromboli are really good. Same with the subs! Been going here for years

Wonderful and cute local place! The service was excellent; friendly and accommodating, and the food was great. We tried a hamburger and pepperoni pizza, steak and cheese hoagie and hot wings. We really enjoyed everything we ordered. The sandwich bread and pizza dough are made fresh daily in house. I requested the wings cooked extra crispy and they were happy to accommodate. We didn't feel like going out and this was a perfect and easy take out meal that was close to our vacation rental. read more

We had a 5 topping pizza and a salad. Very good New York style pizza best for takeout.

First time ordering takeout - steak & cheese pizza - delicious - one of the best pizzas we've had in FL! If you like garlic knots then you will fall in love with these. They actually aren't hard like someone made them 10am in the morning....we can't wait to try some other items on the menu! The staff/owners were very welcoming when I arrived and my order was ready, fresh and hot! If you're looking for a delicious meal try this great small business read more

We just moved to the Seminole area from Tampa. I came home craving pizza and whipped into the local Racetrac to park and see what cheesy delicacies were available in the area. The sun burning through my soul, I came across Original Pizza II. The stakes were high, but I decided to double down because the pictures of the pizza on other people's reviews looked savory... plus the 4.5 star with 50 reviews rating on Apple Maps looked solid.. I figured it was worth the gamble.. and dang, did I hit. This is easily the best pizza I've had in the area and we've tried several. Great crispy crust and loaded with toppings (I got the meaty pizza) made for a great bite. The man in the back was really nice as well. We'll be back for a boli really soon. read more

Good, NY style greasy pizza. Will be my go to spot for when I'm in the area. Picked up a cheese and a pepperoni slice.

Pizza is very good, not the best ever, but very good. We especially like they offer a 10" option, perfect for 2 seniors.

Sloppy mess of a pizza ontop of the order being wrong. Won't be ordering from here again. read more

Original Pizza II - Really? - Pizza Near Me - Pinellas Park, Florida

This place is amazing. The food is great, and the hospitality of the owners is just as good! I've had it for years and every time I'm in town I grab some. Love this place! read more

I don't live in the area, but other family do, so I have ordered take-out here three times now. The pizza is excellent, NY-style, foldable, with plenty of cheese and a decent sauce. The subs are great too. They don't skimp on the meat and you can definitely tell the bread is homemade. We also ordered a large salad and it was really fresh and far better than you would expect from most pizza joints. My only warning is that one Saturday night, I really wanted to place another take-out order from here, and their phone just rang "busy" for almost 20 minutes! Sometimes being so great and popular can have some side effects? read more

Original Pizza II - They dish out some very excellent pizza here! - Pizza Near Me - Pinellas Park, Florida

Really enjoyed the pizza! Great sauce to cheese ratio, nice crispy texture, and the portion was generous with plenty of toppings evenly applied (I got a large with pepperoni, salami, and tomatoes.) Having a pie like this is eye opening when you compare against national franchise brands. So happy I didn't settle for a lesser pizza. Thanks to the owner for putting out a great pizza and being super friendly to a new customer after a long day. Will be back! read more

To Go. Meh. Not terrible, not great. Couldn't find a menu online so I called and I asked if they had a menu anywhere and they referred me to FB but said their prices had changed. The guy who answered was friendly so I went for good old reliable when trying out a new pizza joint- pepperoni pie with garlic knots. Both were good, not great, nothing special, nothing memorable. The garlic knots weren't drenched in oil and garlic which I appreciated. 14 inch pie and 6 knots were about $15 super reasonably priced. read more

Original Pizza II - a slice of pepperoni pizza and a biscuit - Pizza Near Me - Pinellas Park, Florida

I am a harsh critic as I travel the country for work and eat pizza all over the place. The pizza gets 4 of 5 stars. I got a meat lovers and a cheese. The flavor is by far the best I've had in florida, very flavorful sauce and seasoning for both pizzas. The only reason this did not get 5 stars was because of the crust. The flavor was amazing, the texture was not great. Too thin at the pizza's center which caused the pizza to be slightly soggy from the grease. However, It was not bad enough to keep me from coming back. Like I said this is BEST tasting pizza I've had in florida, ever. The service is outstanding, very polite and professional staff both in person and on the phone. This is a take out place so as far as the ambiance is concerned imagine an old school takeout pizza window in New York. This is a "got to try" if you are in the area. read more

This place is amazing and I will not go anywhere else but here. I haven't had a good pizza since I moved here and I found the best pizza around. I must try them they are awesome and the customer service was great as well. The delivery was perfect too and he was very friendly read more

It is simply a take out pizza joint. Good flavorful sauce and ingredients. Order was ready for pickup at the time I was told on the phone.

I've been living in Pinellas Park for 20 years and didn't even know this place existed until today. I've tried several places and was content with their run-of-the-mill, mass - produced pizza that all tasted the same - mediocre at best. OPII is not that place. I'm not a big fan of NY style pizza but that's really all you can get in FL. With that being the case, this is the best pizza you're going to get in central Pinellas. The toppings fall off when you pick it up so you know they give good value. I don't have enough people to feed to order a Sicilian pizza, so I can't review that. This place is a straightforward, no frills joint that just pumps out the food. I'll be back!!! read more

We have been enjoying Original Pizza for many years. It's always delicious with generous toppings. The bottom crust is always crispy, never soggy. We also enjoy their eggplant subs. I've never ordered it as a dinner, but I'm sure it would be as delicious as their sub. I'm under the impression they make their own bread too. We typically have our pizza delivered, so I can't comment on the ambiance. Our pizza arrives hot within an hour. I don't think there is a table service. read more

Pizza is hands down the best pizza delivered in Pinellas Park area. If anyone finds better I have now tried everyone that delivers in my area. read more

Very impressed with their NY Style pizza! I have become a regular and I think that if you give them a try, you will to.

Best pizza I've had in a very long time! The seating is limited as there are only two tables, one two-seater and one four-seater, and a bar that seats 4. This would be great for a quick lunch slice at the bar, otherwise I suggest takeout or a non peak hour! The decor is adorable Coca-Cola memorabilia. The customer service is phenomenal! Carlos(the owner) is a downhome genuine guy! The pizza was amazing. Very fresh ingredients were used and the dough is made in house daily. I asked for mine to"be left on the stone" for a while. Extra crispy! Delicioso! They offer 5 varieties of bottled beer. Ice cream and cheesecake for dessert sometimes cannolis are available. I didn't get the garlic knots this time but they are so so so good! Highly recommend! read more

We've ordered from here a few times and haven't been disappointed. Told them they may need to add us to their regular Friday runs ( if they had such a thing I would sign up). :-). Great flavors, generous toppings. Sicilian pizza our favorite. Staff very friendly, prices are quite reasonable. Take note if you order on a Friday night and want Sicilian, be prepared to wait a little while. We were told they only had one oven for this pizza (?) and they had 4 lined up. read more

This is my number 1 pizza place of all time. The go to is the XL Cheese and Pepperoni pizza. Where do I begin!!!??? From the Mounds of cheese or the wave after wave of pepperoni down to the perfect pools of sauce and the nice crispy crust, if heaven was a pizza it would be this. If your desires are to fulfill your life to the fullest and achieve the highest level of human understanding then order and eat this pizza!!! Also the staff and owners are the best!!!! read more

MENU: 5 stars. Original Pizza's menu is pretty straightforward: they offer pizza. It's not that hard to make good pizza, but man is it easy to make crappy pizza. Fortunately, Original makes its pizza pretty darn good. It took about 15 minutes to prepare (I called ahead). They had some other things like subs, hoagies, calzones, and the like. If I'm in the area again I'll these other things. MOOD: 4 stars. This is as much a hole-in-the-wall as you'll ever see. It's tiny, offers very little to no place to sit and eat, and it's not especially appealing to look at. But it's a straight up pizza joint that doesn't attempt to offer any frills along with it. It's like the excellent pizza makes up for the fact that there's not much else. And I can dig it. LOCATION: 2 stars. It's in a strip mall, and an unsavory one at that. That area on Park isn't the nicest, and Original Pizza makes no attempt to class or jazz it up. I'd never even knew this place existed, and I'd have never found it if I wasn't specifically in the mood for pizza and didn't mind searching. The restaurant is not terribly facile to find as it's buried between two ethnic shops. They could use a stronger advertising sign. STAFF: 5 stars. The front counter lady was pretty nice. They have a minimum amount to use a credit card, which is totally reasonable, since it probably costs the restaurant a small fee if it's under $5. I only had my card and no cash, but the lady allowed me to use it, even though she was going to pay for it later. I appreciate the acquiescence. VERDICT: 4 stars for doing the one thing Original Pizza does well: make pizza. No frills, no gimmicks, just bread, cheese, pizza sauce, and pepperoni. I'll be back. read more

Firstly let me thank original pizza ii for keeping my pizza hot 10 mins after I was due to get it! Now I've been hunting for a good pizza place for two years since I moved here to Florida from California and finally I can say my hunt is over. This pizza was phenomenal, good size to value, good service and most importantly it's close! I am excited to have found this place and I look forward to my next visit. Good pizza guys!! read more

Quality, Quantity and inexpensive. A little gem on Park Blvd. Everything we've ordered has been just amazing. Garlic knots are sublime!

I came in Today because it was close to my house and got great reviews. I ordered a large sausage and onion pizza and it came out to roughly $15 and change. The pizza was AWESOME. Full of flavor and delicious. I will definitely come back here the next time I'm in the mood for a pizza. They also had sub sandwiches that I would like to try out. read more

Pizza was very delicious and sub was well baked. Ingredients tasted very fresh and homemade.

Hole in the wall is right... I probably never would have stopped there but I ordered on line and picked it up. The reviews were so good I decided to pick it up anyway... after I saw the outside. They have been there over 20 yrs and that says something for them! it is absolutely the best pizza I have ever had! Sauce was great, crust was perfect and the ingredients were not skimpy and sooo good! I don't want my pizza from anyplace else... I'm really spoiled now! Thanks so very much for being the best. I'll have to try other items on menu now! read more

I'm originally from upstate NewYork an I love the slices we got for lunch. Reminded me of back home. Thank you

I found this little pizza joint after living in Pinellas Park for over twenty five years. I never knew it was here after passing it all these years. It's takeout only. I like New York pizza. After eating it all my life this place has the real deal . I had their 18 inch New York pie a very fresh salad and some knots. Been here three times so far and all was freshly made. They got my 5 stars because they were consistant and better then the rest in a five mile radius. Thank you for good pizza. read more

Best subs ever!!! I eat here every time I come to town. They bake their bread fresh every day and they also make their own pizza dough every day. Garlic knots are amazing. I usually eat an Italian or turkey sub. read more
