“Pasghetti catered our large family meal last Sunday. We could not be happier about them. Very good food, timely delivered (and still warm), reasonably priced, and dealing with the staff was a pleasure.“

“I went to eat here for the first time today with friends I used to work with. We heard that the owner used to work at Italia Mia which is now closed and now own this restaurant. We always had a salad and pizza there so we ordered the same thing here. The sausage, pepperoni and mushroom pizza was absolutely delicious. The thin crust was incredible!! Nice ambience also.“

“Oh. My. God.“

“Novu Bistro serves delicious food and beverages. The waitresses are friendly and engaging. We didn’t wait long for anything and we were a large group. The owners, Tony and Kat, are gracious and hospitable! I loved that the music was low for great conversations! I highly recommend this St. Pete gem!!“

“Highly recommend this pizza shop, Stefano the manager was very helpful regarding an order that never came in the system during closing time but still made the order and were happy to do it. Very happy with their willingness to take care of the customer even if it was past their closing time.“

“First try, never knew this place was here.. hidden Gem.. food is decent, portion size is fantastic. I got ravioli, didnt know it came with garlic bread and a salad.. I was so full!! I'd pay 10 bucks for all that, any day... versus 12 at McDonalds.. yuck.. this was great!“

“Food was excellent Service was great.“

“I've been coming here for years. The pizza & salads are equally delicious. What blew me away this time is I accidentally left my debit card and I got a phone call pretty quickly from the store letting me know and keeping it safe until I could return to pick it up. Thank you so much!“

“The Chateaubriand is unbelieveably delicious.“

“Great Thin crust pizza and the sauce is really good. Fresh ingredients, limited menu during the pandemic, so we will be back to check out more of the menu when things are back to normal. Desert was good, we had a delicious canoli to go... service was great. Totally Chicago style atmosphere, crispy thin crust pizza.“

“Pizza has always been great for the many years we've been getting it. I'm not sure if the owner is the one that has gone to a call center but it totally takes away from the family owned pizza joint. Won't order again and it's very sad.“

“best environment ever amazing place to work I have not had job like this where I can be myself and have courage that my crew family has made me a better person. Christina is amazing boss and loving ❤ friend I'm so happy I am apart of her family. love this place hands down.!!!!!!“

“The manager Michelle is absolutely amazing, she is there ever day almost all day, whom ever the owner is I hope they pays her well and takes good care of her. She deals with some wild customers but she always is so kind, my food is always hot and good. Michelle is the best, the other girl named Meika is amazing customer service , so sweet and kind and always ready to help. She's always helpful to the manager and smiles when you come in. Love this location“

“Tried the baked ziti and Caesar salad combo a couple weeks ago. The salad was drenched in Caesar dressing, but the flavor was good. Just way too much dressing. The baked ziti was served to me from behind the window but not heated. So it was cold and it had a very vinegary flavor which I didn’t like (maybe they add Italian dressing?). I also didn’t see any ricotta in the baked ziti. It was just ziti noodles, sauce and mozzarella. Wouldn’t get again. But they are new so I’ll give them another chance eventually. They were friendly so the service was good!“

“We always order 2 of the cheesy Howie Breads and 1 of the Chicken Caesar Salads there but with the Greek dressing. It fills us both up, and it is such a delicious combination. Not all of the Hungry Howie stores have the Caesar Salad, and the Howie Bread is different from store to store. But this store definitely has and makes both really well.“

“I have been there twice. The first time I had a slice of cheese pizza and it was like being back in New York City, five stars. The second slice when I returned, was apparently made by the B team, because it was not as good. The crust was too thick, and the cheese and sauce were spread unevenly. Three stars.

I will go back and hope I get the A team.“

“I have a large office and have ordered from here a few times now and Taverris does a wonderfull job preparring our pizza and getting it to us nice and hot and on time will keep ordering this is our new favorite place for pizza and wings“
