Ordered 4 meatballs and received 6!
Melinda R.

Flavor was spot on with both the Stromboli and the meatballs. Only complaint, and not even worth taking a star off for because flavor was still there, the marinara sauce was quite thin. Other than that one thing it was great! Will absolutely be back!

Greek Salad
Kerri F.

A Local favorite for sure. I walked from my Airbnb with ease. Love the option of ordering one slice of pizza with any toppings I desired. Greek salad was fresh and I was sure to eat all of it. Staff was super friendly and working hard. Ambience is casual as it is along the boardwalk. Tons of tourist and very flexible hours.

pepperoni pizza

When on the beach & feeling hungry & looking for an inexpensive tasty bite head over to Papa's Pizza for a quick meal. Pizza is always a hot & the pizza here will not disappoint, it hot & fresh with a nice crispy crust & flavorful sauce, could use a tad more cheese but overall a nice pizza I'd come again

8 cut 14"pie

We had a slice one day and went back for a pie the next, because the pizza was good but we wanted pizza and it was the only option. It disappoints. The pie was better than the slice, but I always like pies better than slices. I hate giving negative reviews but I have to be honest. It didn't have a lot of sauce or cheese on it, and therefore not particularly tasty. The staff was very nice and service was fine.

I don't know how this place has such a low rating. This place is a Pensacola Beach institution that I've been eating at since high school. Yea, it's never gonna win a Michelin Star, but it's still darn good pizza. So there's a boardwalk full of restaurants and shops and bars along the edge of the beach on the bay side of things at Pensacola Beach. Businesses come, businesses go, but this place remains. It's at the very end, right next to an ice cream shop, so it's the first or the last thing people see when strolling the whole boardwalk. A statue of Papa himself greets you right before you walk in the door, and when you get inside, it's a cozy little shop with Pensacola decor and murals all over everywhere. Very quaint. You walk up to the counter and place your order. I brought my niece once day when I was visiting home. We went to Fort Pickens, the beach, and then came here for some lunch. She got a couple of slices of cheese, because she's boring, and I got a couple of slices of Peppino Schano (Broccoli, spinach, green peppers, onions, mushrooms). The crust is thin, and the bottom of it is borderline burnt, which makes it so crispy. Crispy, yet strong enough to not bend under the weight of the toppings. The amount of toppings is pretty nice. You get a good assortment of each of the veggies. Not too much, not too little. Overall, this is the pizza you need and deserve in the middle of a hot, hot, hot beach day at the best beach in the state. Get a Mexican Coke to go with your meal, and you'll want to give this place five stars as well.

Slice of pepperoni pizza

Staying on Pensacola Beach for a vacation, I was craving pizza and had heard good things about this spot. I saw they had Sicilian style pizza on the menu so I called to order one for takeout but was disappointed to hear they were unavailable that day. I decided to take the short drive over to get a few slices to go to see if this pizza I lived up to the hype. It was a Friday night around 6 PM and only two tables were taken up in this quaint little pizza joint. I ordered two slices to go, and the cashier repeated back to me my order and reiterated that I would like them in a box. I told her yes, and when I paid in cash, she looked confused and struggled to come up with the correct change, which was not actually correct, but I wasn't going to hassle her over a few cents. I waited for my pizza for over 10 minutes and when I finally made eye contact with the woman at the register again, she seemed to realize that my pizza had been sitting behind the counter and brought them to the table on two paper plates. I looked confused and asked her if I could get them in a box like I had ordered, and she rolled her eyes and took them behind the counter, putting them in a box but using her hands, which had been handling money and other people's beverage glasses, in the process. She was dismissive and came off pretty rude in general. Having worked in the service industry many years, I can understand if you're busy or you're having an off night, but this lady just seemed to have a stick where the sun doesn't shine and was rude for no good reason. I even tipped before all this happened and the pizza was OK, but I don't think I would go back after this customer experience. There are definitely other places to get mediocre pizza on Pensacola Beach and the FOH isn't so rude!

Greek salad
Emily K.

I don't have any complaints. I think it took around 30 minutes for our order to be ready for pickup. We ordered a x large bacon pizza and a Greek salad. The pizza was really good and was the perfect amount for 4 people.

Inside

There is not a lot of room in this pizza place but it was a cute old school restaurant. We ordered the extra large pepperoni pizza which was really good. We ordered it to go so it was not as fresh as I would have liked when we got it back to the room to eat. The bread sticks were okay. Literally bread sticks and garlic. The young lady who checked me out was not the nicest person but it was pretty busy for lunch time. I would eat the pizza again but eat it fresh at the restaurant.

I wish it were better. This spot is located on the Pensacola Beach boardwalk which is an awesome location! They sell pizza by the slice but it is sadly mediocre at best. I ordered a slice of sausage pizza and it was similar to something I would have eaten in a middle school cafeteria. It wasn't the worst but also was not up to par with alot of the other pizza joints in town.

Sicilian pepperoni and sausage

Boys wanted pizza after taking a boat ride to see the dolphins so we swung by here. I'm a bit of a pizza snob and although this did not hit my top five it is dang good pizza. Best I've had in Florida thus far. Kids and wife satisfied I'll call it a win. We had a fantastic server as well she did a great job and even pointed out some places we may enjoy.

Breadstick
Michelle A.

Meh. This place use to be fabulous. I really missed it this time. Just wasn't good. Super salty, cheese was thicker and the sauce was way greasy and not the crispy bottom. Breadsticks were crust with a little butter and garlic salt on top.

Pizza by the slice or as a whole pie. New York style. Very very good! Also had a Greek salad. This place is a gem! Employees very nice! We will be back!

Sorely disappointed (no red onions? Come on.)

Food - the Meat Lover's pizza was ok. Nothing really special. It was loaded with different meats…read morebut the (itslian?) sausage over powered the other flavors. Service - a little different this time. You still order at the counter and they bring the pizza and plates to you. This time the manager on duty actually came out and checked on us to see if the pizza was ok. Then she came out again to see if we were satisfied. Ambiance- the same clean and neat. Tables were not sticky.

My bf and I ordered pizza to go from here while on vacation. We were both tired after a long day of…read moredriving and some time spent at the beach and this definitely hit the spot. We ordered the mighty meathead pizza and it was delicious. If we order meat pizza, I definitely like it to have more meat and cheese and for me, that is exactly what was delivered. When we got to the restaurant to pick up our pizza while the restaurant itself was slow there were a lot of people waiting on to go orders. Service was as efficient as it could be given the amount of people waiting. I'm not sure if I would want to eat there being that there was not really a lot of ambiance that I could see but at the same time the pizza was delicious so I'm not sure if it would make a difference either way. I would recommend getting pizza from Santino's and would go back if I'm in the area again.
