What a great surprise we found when just stopping to grab lunch before making our way to the Beach!…read more So unexpected from looking at it from the outside, but the menu online looked promising so we went on it!!! Yahtzee!!! A pizza place that sells liquor and not just beer, yes please! Nevermind the amazing decor and seating. They have a clock that is set for 2004 and is about 12 hrs off! Pretty funny. Ordered the Parm bites, great taste and of course we forgot to take a picture before chowing half the order down. Great price and hubby like the marinara it came with. For lunch we each got personal size pizzas and for only $11 each, it was well worth it! This was the first time in over 19 years I actually ate my bones. Last place was a place in Hawaii called Bostons. Hubby was surprised when he saw me eating them. I got The Popeye and yum! Hubby got the Deluxe Combo and same reaction. The staff were all very attentive and we never had to look for someone to help. Yet they were not right on us where we felt overly served. Food was very Craveable! The Calzones looked amazing and I am so sad I don't order one!

Since my…read morefamily couldn't be with me, I was hoping the night would still feel special and it absolutely did. The atmosphere was warm, the food was incredible, and the whole experience felt memorable from start to finish. Our servers, Megan and Jessica, were fantastic and made the evening even better. They were friendly, helpful, and made sure everything was perfect. They took the time to explain the menu and made us feel very welcome. Every dish tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. You can tell a lot of care goes into the food here. I'm really glad I chose this restaurant for my birthday and I'll definitely be coming back again

First off, want to say we went here for my husbands birthday. The hostess welcomed us and was so…read moreexcited for us to celebrate his birthday here. We got seated, and was served by Amanda R. She was so rude, instantly felt as if she was combative and short with us in every interaction. She didn't bother to mention happy birthday to my husband or offer him dessert until I brought it up at the end of the meal. She was giving warmth to the tables around us, so we could hear her other interactions clearly. Very very disappointed in the service, but the food was outstanding!!! Really good Brussels, Diavlo pizza, and Chocolate cake!!

Catch was Snapper, there was a three course pasta special, both were very good. Heirloom tomato salad with arugula was filled with beautiful tomatoes. Cocktails and a couple of bottles of very good Chianti made the evening very special. Thank you. Cannot wait to return next time in Pensacola. I checked my receipt the next day and didn't know the server added gratuity. My mistake for not knowing the restaurant did this. So, the receipt showed $125 gratuity, and I left $200 cash. Amanda had a good night.

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.

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.

Ordered 3 pies on a Friday night - XL Cheese, XL Pepperoni, and an XL Al Pacino. The pizza was…read moregreat. The crust is on the thinner side. They did warn me that the parking lot was super busy and to bring a runner for the pizza pick up which was much appreciated because the parking lot was indeed a zoo. Plates, napkins, and Red pepper flakes and Parmesan cheese were included and the total for the 3 pies was around $90. So, a little pricey for the convenience of grabbing pizza while on the beach. Would order from here again while visiting Pensacola Beach.

One of our first nights in Pensacola Beach, we had a long day and wanted something simple. We…read moreordered two of their calzones, order of breadsticks, and an order of Spaghetti and Meatballs (Roughly $50.00). Over the phone they sounded BUSY and that was confirmed once we arrived to pick up our order. Staff was extremely friendly and our food had just gotten boxed up when we got there so their wait time estimates were spot on. The food.... Our Calzones were fine. They had chopped spinach (we assumed they'd be whole leaf) and it overwhelmed the calzone (IMO). Spinach flavor was all we could really taste. Their marinara was good, definitely helped with the strong spinach flavor. The breadsticks were not good, seemily cooked dough with granular garlic powder dumped on them. No one cared for these, there marinara couldn't even help save those things. The spaghetti and meatballs were a hit with the kids (minus the chunky tomatoes). Our girls finished this with compliments to the chef. I would like to try their pizza to see how it is but we were not impressed enough with what we ordered to try their food again. Florida just struggles with good pizza from our experience, we are very spoiled living in such a strong pizza area. I would definitely recommend trying this place and I hope your personal experience is better than the one We had.

And Susie, our waitress, was the icing on the cake - her excellent service made our dining experience truly special. While the food didn't blow me away, I'm confident that others will enjoy it. We started with the stuffed mushrooms and bruschetta, both of which were tasty, and then moved on to the lasagna, spaghetti with meatballs, and chicken piccata, all of which were decent.

The bread and oil was the best party of dinner. The house wine was very good. I had the spaghetti. It really fell flat for me. It really needed more seasoning. The same could said for the calamari.

It's a family owned business so all the family pitches in to make the business run, exactly like all Italian run restaurants. Ambiance - the same and the extra tables they added makes it easier to eat here.

It was almost New York style, and large enough for plenty of leftovers (for 2 adults). The pizza did take about it 30 minutes after ordering, mainly because everything is done by scratch in house, even their desserts and gelato. We will be back often! Also, meat candy is available to order from on Sunday's and Monday's

From the moment we arrived, Melissa provided some of the best service we've experienced in a long time. She took incredible care of our entire party, including our 6-month-old daughter. As any parent knows, dining out with a baby can sometimes be challenging, but Melissa made us feel completely welcome and comfortable throughout the evening. We enjoyed wine, appetizers, and several entrées, and she was wonderful about accommodating customizations and special requests. What really stood out was how genuinely kind and engaging she was with our baby and she took time to play with her, made her smile and giggle, and truly helped make the night special for our whole family. The food was fantastic, the views are absolutely incredible, and the atmosphere is hard to beat. The outdoor patio and bar area are especially beautiful. After dinner, Melissa helped us relocate outside where we enjoyed more wine and dessert while taking in the view. And whatever you do, don't skip the crème brûlée, it was the perfect ending to an already amazing meal! The entire team was friendly, welcoming, and attentive, and the level of hospitality we experienced was exceptional. Between the delicious food, stunning waterfront setting, and outstanding service from Melissa, this was one of the highlights of our trip. We'll absolutely be back the next time we're in Pensacola. Thank you, Melissa and the DRIFT team, for such a memorable evening!

I had a lovely experience at Drift…read more The views of the Gulf are beautiful and the decor is classic and coastal. Most patrons wore dressy beach attire - sundresses for ladies and nice shorts or slacks for the guys. Our server was wonderful! He was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable of that menu. The food was good. I had the lamb chops appetizer and peach burrata salad as my main. The chops were overdone, but the flavor was nice, and the asparagus that came with was yummy. I loved the salad and would order it again. The tuna poke appetizer was a toss up. The tuna was delicious, but the crabmeat was so disappointing. It had the consistency and flavor of canned crab. I'm not saying for sure that it was canned, but with all of the fresh options, I just thought I'd get really good crabmeat. My husband had the catch of the day, which I think was sea bass. It was delicious! The fish tasted super fresh and was perfectly seasoned. For dessert we had the chocolate cake. It was so dry - as if it had been frozen or something. Overall, our experience was positive.
