Hidden Gem alert!! Definitely gets my "hole in the wall" award so far for 2015! This is why i love the internet sometimes, I would never of thought to try this spot, let alone never even knew it existed being hidden off the road in a tiny corner unit behind a Walgreens. But a few good reviews and Google maps led me to this "hidden Gem". Now I will do my part to lead others to this quaint little pizza shop with pizza slices and an owners heart bigger than the city of Tampa!
My Story:
Customer service - A++++
Walked in and was immediately greeted by owners smiling face. He immediately asked if it was our first time and we said yes, he proceeded to slide us small 3 slices of pizza and said have this while you order! Which was great because we were starving and there was also a short wait for the seat and for the fresh slices to come out the oven. Plus as soon as we tasted the pizza we knew we made the right decision to come here for lunch. As soon as seat cleared he immediately cleaned table and seemed genuinely happy to seat us. There was a breeze coming in through the open door and he asked us if it was ok and did we want it closed. But we liked it open the breeze felt great. He made us feel like we were a distinguished guest in his own home the whole time we were there, you can't find that anywhere these days.
Price - A+++
All prices on menu were nice on the wallet. But the main special of 2 slices and a can of soda for ~5$ was a great deal. Btw the 2 slices were the size of an entire pizza, we were blown away when we saw what 5$ got us. Added a "small" order of garlic knots for ~4$. I use quotations because the "small" was a large dish full of amazing garlic knots. The small order of knots alone were enough to feed a table of 4. We walked out full and very satisfied for just a 15$ tab!!
Food - A+++++
For an app we had garlic knots. Wow they were so delicious and you could tell very fresh and made to order. Now we make it a point to always get garlic knots anytime we go to one of these type of establishments. So we are self proclaimed garlic knot experts, and these were out of this world best ones ever. Must try while you are there
Pizza slices were huge and very delicious. Perfectly sweet sauce, tasty seasoned cheese, and crust cooked to perfection. While eating I could smell the BBq wings baking in their oven and they smelt amazing. Even though stuffed to the max I was tempted to order some just from smell alone. Rest assured it will be on my next bill.
Final words - only thing this place lacks is size and seating. If it had a full dining room this place would be packed and take business from many surrounding places on the regular with its great family atmosphere and customer service, great prices, and amazing pizza, wings, and garlic knots. I will make sure to put this on my list of places to frequent and so Should you. read more
