    Garlic Knots (6Pcs)
    Emily I.

    I supposed it's called pit stop pizza for a reason... I hate leaving bad reviews but these yelp ratings are misleading. Not a pleasant interaction and the food had no love... Perhaps my experience was unique. Zucchini was good but the garlic knots were so :(

    Should call it minced garlic NOT
    Deaundra H.

    Mmmmmm idk about this one drove to test this drive Thru pizza place and and um only way to describe it everything was chewy as hell.. loads of minced garlic just tossed into the knots plus the chewy texture and inside not a great combo pizza was thin but not cooked enough over the fire resulting in chewy pizza .. Mac and cheese ball very interesting kind sweet. Missed the mark on that one .. pizza was very greasy almost running off the pizza . Not recommended

    Drive-thru available for pickup

    Tastes like a NY slice, love the spicy items on the menu. Drive thru makes it easy! Order ahead for pies or stop in through for a slice. Surprisingly thin crust & brilliant flavors. Quick, tasty, and easy! Everything you want for a cheesy delight

    Garlic knots
    Sally M.

    Looking for pizza options and found Pit Stop Pizza had online ordering and a drive thru so decided to check it out. After looking at reviews, we knew to order a full pizza ahead of time and did so online. Note: ordering online does not give you the option to do half and half or customize, so you may have to call in for that. In addition to the pizza, we got an order of garlic knots. Sauce does not come with the knots, you have to pay extra for that (we got marinara). Arriving at the drive thru, we gave our name for our pizza and I think the owner was glad that we knew to call ahead of time. He did say that the drive thru is for slices only and typically it is about 3 minutes after ordering to get a slice. Our food was ready at the next window and the owner couldn't have been nicer. The pizza itself was very good as were the knots. I was expecting a bigger knot, but these were really good and loaded with garlic. The chicken pesto pizza was also really tasty. We'll definitely be back to try another pizza!

    This is a cute spot! They nailed the theme. Drive up to order a pizza or you can call ahead or order online. They do whole pizzas and pizza by the slice which can be served quickly. The pastas are good too.

    The first time we stopped by was pretty late... we rolled up to the drive-thru at 8:45pm, when they were close to closing. We wanted to get a few slices to try, and they were out of the All You Can Meat, but still had Pepperoni so they doctored up a slice to be an All You Can Meat. We also got a Pesto Chicken and since it was our first time, they threw in a complimentary BBQ Chicken slice, which was very kind. They apologized profusely and explained they didn't make any new pies since it was close to closing- no biggie for us. We waited a few minutes at the second drive-thru window and were given a box of hot slices. Just FYI and heads up, the drive-thru when you leave is SUPER steep. Be careful going down. We enjoyed the slices, nice and thin- just the way we like and good flavor. Not too overwhelming. We decided to order a Build Your Own Pizza a few weeks later and it was delicious! The order was ready when we arrived. We ordered a "deluxe" bc we like toppings: pepperoni, sausage, red peppers, onions, mushrooms and black olives. They didn't skimp on the toppings and we loved it! We heated it up in a pan the next morning and the thin crust held up and was nice and crispy. I would have taken a picture of the tiramisu, but we devoured it! Tiramisu is my favorite dessert and Pit Stop's is 10/10! Get it- you won't regret it! So happy to have a quality pizza place in the neighborhood. We will be back!

    If you're in Bay Park and haven't tried Pitstop Pizza yet, you're seriously missing out. This place is such a gem. The pizza is absolutely amazing--fresh, flavorful, and consistently high quality. You can tell they really care about what they're serving. What I love most is the variety. Whether you're in the mood for a classic slice, something more creative, a fresh salad, or even authentic Italian dishes, they've got it all. And the convenience? A drive-through for pizza slices... yes please. Perfect for those on-the-go days when you still want something delicious. They also have the cutest little picnic area, which makes it such a vibe to sit and enjoy your food--especially with a bottle of wine and a summer sunset coming in. It honestly feels like the perfect local spot to unwind. This is the definition of a great mom-and-pop shop: amazing quality, fair prices, and a welcoming atmosphere. You truly get what you pay for here. Hands down, best pizza in town. Highly, highly recommend.

    I stopped by around 8 PM on a Monday and went through the drive-through. There were no cars in line, and you can order pizza by the slice for $4. They offer a decent variety of slices like pepperoni, cheese, meat lovers, pesto, chicken, and a few others. With the drive-through setup, the tip option is a bit surprising given there's no real service beyond handing you the food. I tried two slices: *Pepperoni: it had a thin crust, but that's about the only thing going for it. There was barely any sauce, and the overall flavor was very bland. *Chicken Pesto: this was even worse. It was extremely dry and not enjoyable at all. Overall, this was easily some of the worst pizza I've had. The convenience and quick service don't make up for how dry and flavorless the pizza was, and it honestly made me wonder how long the slices had been sitting out. I wouldn't come back.

    I tried Pit Stop Pizza today and it is my favorite new restaurant Their food and service are SUPERB. Happy Anniversary boys I highly recommend trying the spicy honey pizza and the pasta because they're both 10/10. Taste and quality of food were superb and I almost ate the whole pizza I also tried the Pesto Chicken pizza which is incredible and the perfect mix of flavors Staff was very friendly and welcoming, and I love that there is a drive thru and patio to hang out at

    Slices.

    Good people. Great pizza. And the desserts here are FIRE! Grab 2 slices and a Tiramisu! Or grab a whole pie!!!

    Slice of cheese pizza
    Julia W.

    Finally got to check out this place yesterday and it did not disappoint! The owner was there and super friendly. This pizza brought me straight back to Italy, which was a pleasant surprise. Owner recommended calling in next time- said it takes 30 minutes to prepare a whole pie. We enjoyed the seating area while waiting for our pizza. 10/10 experience

    Salman S.

    Stopped by to try their pizza and pasta. We ordered the pepperoni pizza with spicy salami as an add on as well as a chicken fettuccine pasta with red sauce and garlic extra. The pizza was delicious, tasty sauce and a generous heaping of pepperoni and salami. The pasta was al dente and the chicken was cut into small cubes, was tender and flavorful as well with the extra garlic adding a nice garlicky flavor to the dish. There is plenty of parking on the street and they have a big side yard with tables to sit and enjoy the food on.

Cozy, warm, intimate and welcoming. And the FOOD?! I was convinced somebody's Italian grandmother had to be downstairs hand making that pasta because there was no other explanation. I had the lobster ravioli and started with the bruschetta tostada. Everything was absolutely chef's kiss. Fresh, flavorful and tasted like it was made with love.

The service was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. But let's talk about the food... The food was AMAZING. We ordered several different things, and everything we tried was delicious, but the pappardelle with short ribs was the standout. The pasta was absolutely fantastic--rich, comforting, and exactly the kind of Italian comfort food you want at the end of a long day. And then there was the dessert case... Oh. My. Goodness.

Nonna was exactly what we were hoping for that evening: great food, great service, a beautiful Little Italy setting, and a relaxed atmosphere where we could sit outside and enjoy ourselves. I can't wait to go back and eat some more Italian comfort food--and next time, I'm getting the tiramisu.

It was a Friday evening and every restaurant on the street was full and vibrant. You could Yelp these places all day long and it would be hard to choose. There's so many great restaurants around Little Italy. Mimmo's reached out and called us in. There were pretty white tablecloths, the hostess was smiling ready to answer any questions and of course, the menu looked wonderful. Voilà! We'd found our spot. Our waiter was so personable and had all the answers to our inquiries. He suggested items and even answered honestly when needed. I got a Le Pécora Nera Sangria (fizzy blackberry with lemon). Tasty, but too many blackberry seeds coming up the straw. I'd get another one next time. For the appetizers: RISOTTO ARANCINI (a MUST get) - these were absolutely delicious. Four good size bread crumbed fried balls of risotto sitting in the restaurant's own tomato gravy. HOMEMADE FOCACCIA WITH DIPPING OIL (yes, that's the official name) - this is a basket of super soft, warm focaccia bread for a great price. I would get it no matter what main course you're getting! It soaks up every sauce and it's just delicious. MAIN: BAKED LASAGNA (meat) - with the two appetizers this is the perfect size for both of us. No need to get one per person! It was absolutely wonderful. I would get it again. All in all, I'd definitely go back. The food was absolutely delicious and flavorful and the employees we came in contact with were great as well. We didn't want to sit at a table right next to the hundreds of people walking by, I don't like that, but there are plenty other options one row in or inside the restaurant.
