Calusa Pizza is so delicious! Their garlic knots are amazing! And so affordable. Will definitely be going back often.
Finally Pizza in Lutz!
From the moment I walked in, the aroma of freshly baked dough and bubbling cheese had me hooked. But let's talk about the real star of the show, the Margherita pizza.
This wasn't just any pizza; it was perfection on a plate. The crust was the ideal balance of crispy on the outside and airy on the inside, with just the right amount of char from the wood-fired oven.
The sauce? Bright, tangy, and bursting with fresh tomato flavor you could tell they use top-quality ingredients. And that creamy, melt-in-your-mouth mozzarella paired with fragrant basil???? Absolute magical
Do yourself a favor and grab a Margherita from here.

My family has dined here several times and the food is always excellent. I haven’t written a review before but tonight we had a little snafu that compelled me to share. We ordered a delivery through Uber eats. When we got the food 1/2 our order was missing. I called the restaurant to let them know and they confirmed that the other half of the order was still there. At this point it was only about 20min till closing time. Most places in this situation, if they are decent will refund you, maybe even send you a gift cert or something. But Calusa’s WAY outdid themselves on service tonight. They remade our ENTIRE ORDER. Even the food we had already received. They stayed late at the restaurant and paid another Uber eats driver to rush the food up to us, and included a gift cert for next time on top of everything else. That was far more than I was asking for or expecting, but it speaks volumes to how they treat their customers and run their business. Food is exceptional, service is unparalleled. Highly recommend and they will certainly get enough future business from my family to repay their above and beyond service many times over. Amazing place all around, glad to have them as a local spot!

The food is excellent, we requested catering for a family gathering, all the dishes were exquisite, the sauces are fresh, made by themselves, all natural. 100% recommended, attended by its own owner.

OMG so happy that I finally tried this place. I've been looking for the best eggplant parmigiana in the area and I believe I have found it! My husband fancies Margherita pizza and he loved this as well. Add in the homemade garlic knots and you can easily see why this place is still in business for 4+ years. Alexa was a great server and the Owner took the time to welcome us and explain their food process which was an added bonus.
Definitely highly recommend.

We always have a great experience at this restaurant! The food is exceptional and the service is always amazing. Our favorite server, Alexandra, is always on top of everything we need and she makes our visits spectacular! She is very quick and always so personable, she’s the main reason we keep coming back!

Real bad look not being able to keep up with to go orders and having a line of people in the building waiting and standing over customers that are dining in trying to relax during their weekend dinner.

NOT CLEAN!!
My plate was served with grease and crumbs still all over it. Also had to ask for napkins. How is anything cleaned if the plate is still served obviously dirty? The worker was also wearing booty spandex shorts with her cheeks out. Didn’t know this was THAT kind of establishment. Very disappointed

If you’re looking for an authentic Italian experience, Calusa is a fantastic choice. I came with my husband and we ordered the Greek pasta and the tortellini a la Rosa and we love it!!!!
The service was impeccable, with attentive and knowledgeable staff. The prices are reasonable considering the quality of the ingredients and the overall experience.

Food was awesome!! The garlic knots that are on the house are great!!! We were a group of 10 people, and everyone had the same opinion about this place: “ This place is great, let’s come back!” Even the owner came out to greet us!!
