Ryan's Pizza 4 Harrison St. Suite 100 Cocoa, FL 32922
3.5 Stars
Ryan's Pizza in Cocoa exudes a warm, welcoming, fun vibe from the minute you enter. The joint is vibrant, clean and well-spaced. Jordan was my server today and she was charming, friendly and knowledgeable. I asked Jordan for 6 Bone-in Wings with their Golden BBQ sauce, an order of beer-battered Fish and Chips, a slice of White pizza and a slice of Deep Dish. Looking about the place, I noticed that on Tuesday, they offered 32 oz. Margarita's for a heckuva price! They have an excellent deal on tacos in today's economy, too. I didn't try their tacos, so I can't speak to them, but if they follow suit, they should be tasty.
It wasn't long before Jordan was seen returning with my grub. After snapping a few pics for y'all, I eagerly got to work as the aromas arising were heading straight to my appetite. First up on the Big Boy's punctilious palate were the wings. I don't know about you, but I love finger food. Fixing my fingers around a plump wing, I got to work. To quote Monty Python, “Blimey!” My taste buds were wrapped in the loving embrace of some of the most delicious sauce to ever grace my palate. Wow. My insides were swimming in love. The wings were juicy and cooked to perfection and, once again, adorned with my new favorite BBQ sauce.
I had to force myself to move on, but only after I snuck in another wing or four. Hacking off a bite of the Beer battered Haddock, I dipped it in some industrial tartar sauce and commenced tasting. The fish was of a higher frozen grade than most places and, as such, was better than average. The chips, as they were, were not your typical french fries but the oft sought-after “waffle fries.” These were fried to a succulent golden brown and were incredibly delicious. The coleslaw was your average food service slaw -- nothing to write about.
This brings me to the star of the show, at least the only food item in their name, the slices of pizza. If I am wrong that there is an afterlife and I end up down-under performing penance for my sins, I am absolutely sure I will be force-fed pizza for eternity. It would beshrew me down worse if it's terrible pizza. Ryan's pizza was not “bad,” but it was not that good either. The crust was bland, the sauce was as flavorful as the crust and the cheese was cheese. I found this shocking as the other items were fantastic and as I mentioned, pizza is in their name. This applies to both slices sampled.
The Big Boy says, “For a pizza place, their pie fell flat. Go for the wings, fish and drink specials.”

I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak. It is prepared with ground beef, and served on an overwhelmingly huge hogie roll, (totally unnecessary). The whole ensemble was bone dry because not only was the prep and cooking not up to par but there were no sauces used and the onion was only noticeable by its absence. A decent Philly cheesesteak is juicy and full of flavor. This was not. On a gridle, saute the onion to caremalize, add thinly sliced steak (definitely not ground beef), mix together to brown the meat. Open a medium sized soft roll, butter both sides and place on the griddle to brown. Place the cheese on top of the steak and onions and let it melt. Spread mayo on the roll, place it opened on top of the cooked ingredients and flip with the hand and a spatula. Voila, a tasty, juicy Philly Cheesesteak.

We had a great experience at Ryan’s. From the appetizers to our entrees to our desserts everything we ate was delicious. But the best part of our dining experience was Lisa Marie who was excellent and took really good care of us all around. Thank you!

We were there from about 500pm til 830pm. The live music was nice. We sat upstairs at the bar. The 2 bartenders were great. Always checking and asking. My wife ordered the Chicken Bacon Ranch tacos. I had the Buffalo Chicken Calzone. With Broccoli Bacon Cheddar Bites for an APP. Eveything was great!!!! Will definitely be back!!!

Sat at the bar for a late lunch since all the tables were occupied. Bartender named Matt took care of us and it was great.
Parking: Really hard to find a parking spot. You can usually find a parking spot by the boat ramp if you don't mind walking.
The best food with a view!!!
