“This is our go to pizza joint at the beach (and surrounding areas, lol)! They are wonderful, friendly, and not too expensive! The pizza is delicious. The restaurant is clean, but not very updated. Try the meatballs, trust me!! I'm not even a meatball fan normally. The desert pizzas are also outstanding!“

“absolutely wonderful food and service. the oysters Rockefeller was to die for along with the crab cakes and pizzas . everything we ordered was wonderful and the service was fantastic“

“Pizza was absolutely amazing and catching the Tuesday night deal made it an incredible value. The service was top tier, we so appreciated our server setting us up with complimentary garlic knots and making us feel at home after one of the worst weekends of my life. We appreciate y’all so much. Eat here y’all, you won’t regret it!“

“When we travel, we always try to find local places to eat. During our drive getting familiar with the area we stumbled upon the perfect place, Zarrella’s. We ate here twice during our stay in Melbourne and both times they did not disappoint! The first visit we had house salad and pizza…spot on and the atmosphere perfect! - I’m pretty sure this is the first place I’ve been that had almost the entire place singing Sweet Caroline 🥰 - The pizza, salad, and atmosphere took us back for a second time. I stepped out of the box and went with the Mahi Mahi special and my BF had a house salad and pizza…again…perfect!! Now we’re back in our hometown in OH wishing we had a Zarrella’s to visit.“

“This is the best sbarro I have ever been to, and I have been to a bunch of sbarro’s all over the world. Every time I come here it’s always fresh, and the people that work here are the friendliest out of any other sbarro I’ve been too. There’s a reason I eat here 2x a week. The white ranch pizza is to die for!!!“

“Olivia is the kindest bartender/ waitress. We’ve been here several times but it’s beenn a while. As soon as we walked in she remembered what we drink, what we order and it was like time never went by in between visits. They make the best veggie pizza (I order no cheese and they always are kind to accommodate) Hands down the best pizza joint on the island! ❤️“

“We love the Pizza Company. Crack sub and a large cheese is our go to order for the fam! Thanks for all you do in the community and for being the neighborhood go to pizza spot.“

“Great pizza and big slices!“

“My first encounter with this gem happened during a routine Uber Eats pickup for calzones. The food displayed in the case looked incredibly appealing. While waiting for my order, I had the chance to watch the pizzaiolo expertly preparing food, and the care and attention to detail were evident. The aromas wafting from the kitchen were intoxicating, prompting me to grab a menu. Fast forward to last night, and the memory of that enticing smell and the promise of authentic Italian flavors led my husband and me to finally try their pizzas. Everything I had seen on my previous visit looked so fresh and inviting, and knowing they prided themselves on authentic Italian cuisine, we were eager to experience it ourselves. We decided on their white pizza, a choice that often highlights the quality of the cheese and crust, and we also ordered a side of their garlic knots, a classic Italian accompaniment. To enhance our meal, we added two sides of their marinara sauce and a garlic and olive oil dipping mix. Let me tell you, that marinara sauce is truly phenomenal! It had a rich, vibrant flavor that tasted homemade and authentic – not the generic, overly sweet kind you often find. We were also very impressed by the generosity of the toppings on the white pizza. They certainly weren't stingy, and each ingredient tasted fresh and flavorful, complementing the creamy ricotta and perfectly baked crust. The garlic knots were soft and fragrant, and the accompanying sauces were the perfect additions. We were both extremely pleased with our meal. We'll definitely be returning customers! On my next visit, I absolutely have to try their eggplant parmesan!“

“Favorite place to visit when ever I come to Merritt Island 🥰“

“The food is very good! We had a wonderful family dinner there earlier.“

“I grew up outside of Philly and currently live in South Jersey. This pizza is delicious!! If you are looking for good, traditional pizza you need to stop here. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Best pizza place but you guys aren’t “NY Style” my Stromboli tasted like a hot pocket from Walmart which isn’t a bad thing it’s just if you were NY Style it would taste 5x better. I would know I’ve had authentic NY Style. Other than that still better than most“
