This place has turned into a dumpster fire ever since the new owners took over. You would think with new ownership they would've refreshed the menu with some new items or flavors.... Welp let me save you some heartache it's the same exact menu from the last owners with bottom shelf products. I used to go there for many years and never had an issue and the food was fabulous and flavorful.First time back since COVID and I tell you I should've just went to Sam's club and got a pre-made pizza and pre- made Caesar salad for my money.I ordered a Large Chicken Bruschetta Salad and my wife ordered the Chicken Bruschetta Pizza. The salad came out in less than 3 minutes with bland chicken and NO BRUSCHETTA BREAD!!!!! I asked the waiter where's the Bruschetta bread and he pointed at the croutons on the salad and told me that's the bruschetta...: I almost pissed my pants but I knew it wasn't the waiters fault. I told the waiter can I please get the bruschetta bread just like the menu says I supposed to have. 5 mins later he comes back with chopped up pieces of bread from who knows where. Looks like the were smashed up pieces of wonder bread sprinkled with oregano . The "balsamic sauce" tasted like soy sauce with Italian dressing mixed in. The arugula looked and tasted like it was picked back out of the dumpster from yesterday.5 mins later the pizza came out looking like a microwave pizza from 7-11. The pizza had the same chicken that the salad had so clearly they have been cutting corners. My wife bit into the pizza and said it tasted like cardboard and that the chicken was cold. Mind you that my wife has only been in the US for one month, first time eating pizza in the US. I took a bite of the pizza and the sauce tasted like canned ragú sauce and the cheese tasted like government block cheese we used to get back in the day.I told the waiter about the food and he told me that it was not the first time people complained about the food since the new owners took over.I feel bad for the employees at this place, they did seem like good people and they treated us nice but the owner/manager on duty failed to take care of the issues. Instead he made things worse buy blatantly putting out garbage food with no quality control I promise I will never go back to this run down place. Neither will any of my friends or family members ever get recommended to this place.Btw I still tipped the waiter 20% because I ain't no dooshbag and I appreciate my hard working wait staff and restaurant workers.I also included a picture of the lovely bruschetta for all my peeps to judge themselves.Next time I will go to my for sure never ever eva let me down spot, Eddie and Sam's, across the street.
Henderson's food is great—I love the Mediterranean salad with arugula as the base—plus pizza. This is a great casual restaurant for good food. Kid friendly video games in the back.
The fries, onion rings, quesadillas, chicken tenders, pizza, sandwiches were all above average bar food quality. The wings were excellent, crispy and moist. Wait staff were friendly and attentive. The mimosas were a bit heavy on juice, but otherwise a good experience. Can't wait to go for their exceptional happy hour deals!

Great service. Delicious food. They were very accommodating with the kids. Being from Chicago I have high expectations of pizza. This hit the spot! Flavor was on point. The crust was thin and crispy. IMO the best pizza I've tasted in the Tampa area over the last 11 years since we've moved here. We ordered the white pizza, plain cheese for the kids, gasparilla pizza, wings, loaded grilled cheese, sangria, and the dessert boat. The waiter told us the sangria was his grandmothers recipe (it was soooooo good!!!) and his mom makes the fresh mozzarella, he even explained the process to us. We raved the entire we were eating. We will definitely come back.

Great food and very personal service! New management and freshly baked product made on site. Beautifully made mozzarella on my pizza and crisp flatbread pizza. Will definitely be back with friends!

I have been to the Tampa pizza company before and that includes the downtown Tampa establishment. The new management has taken over and have made some exceptional changes to parts of the menu. They are now making homemade mozzarella instead of from a distributor. The new management has also made changes to the pizza dough. As a pizza snob they are doing the right things to attract the neighborhood. I really enjoyed the chicken ranch pizza. It was far more exceptional than the last time I visited. Come on down and help this mom and pop establishment.

Great PizzaMy son said this is some of the best pizza he's ever eaten. (He took the photos for this review - clearly the plastic cup of Dr. Pepper is very exciting.) He had plain cheese and I got artichoke and cremini mushroom. The owner said he just bought the place one week ago so maybe some of the bad reviews from a month or so ago were because of previous management.

Don't like leaving reviews in general but the service tonight warrants this. It took over an hour past the time the restaurant said the order would be ready, for just 2 small pizzas. On top of that, there was 5 other customers behind me all having to wait ridiculous amounts of time for their orders. Safe to say I will never be coming back here with this level of service.

I hate leaving this bad of a review because their pizza is great. The server staff was sweet and great but I waited 70 min before finally cancelling my order because no one could tell when my food was coming out. On top of that I saw customers coming in, seated and getting their food before me. I will 100% not be coming back. Oh on top of that they were legit out of red wine, Prosecco and half their beers.

Hubby & I went here for the first time & were very disappointed. Our appetizer came out cold & had to be re-done. The appetizer came out again after our food was served & was still only lukewarm this time but figured I would just take it home to heat up because it tasted good. Our meals however were less than mediocre. Giving two stars because our bartender/server was great & we loved the atmosphere. May make a return visit just to see if it was a one off or not.
We ordered a few pizzas, pasta and wings over the phone and customized to our palates content! No problems! Food ready in 20 minutes! Order was perfect and the kind hostess helped me carry it to our car. We can have breakfast, lunch and dinner for several days which is the plan!The restaurant was spotless at 5:30pm on a weekday. We got home 45 minutes later and everything was still hot and definitely delicious. Large pizza comes in an oblong shape in a huge box that wouldn't fit in our or anyone's fridge. Eat it all (likely impossible) or just transfer slices to Tupperware, ziplock or tin foil. The pesto pasta was tasty and my wife was very happy with her honey sriracha wings. Yum!We will return. The price is relatively high but the quality was definitely there. Plus, everything is more expensive these days so what can we do?Life is good with tasty pizza! My fav is white pizza with shrooms, capers and anchovies. They didn't offer capers at this place but that's ok. What is your favorite pizza?

Would never think a pizza place could have the best wings but this place absolutely does!!! Tried and true. Hands down the BEST WINGS in Tampa. The meat so easily falls off the bone and has lots of flavor. We usually order lots of wings and each of us in our family also orders a personal pizza. I'm partial to the Fresh Market one. It's vegetarian, and I usually get mine on cauliflower crust. Always fresh. After a few wings and half a personal pizza, I'm stuffed. We always get ours To Go, as we usually have our puppy with us, so cannot speak to table service; that said, the staff is friendly. Definitely recommend everyone give it a try!

We were shocked when the bill came. We ordered a large pizza with only four toppings. $25 for the toppings!! Our bill came to $92 for mediocre bar pizza. The place was empty on a Saturday night. No people. We should have known better.

If you're looking for a place for some peace and quiet on a random weekday, this is not the place. There's kids running around screaming, there's only one bartender and 2 barbacks I saw and waited at least 15 minutes for a refill on my beer after I got my food, which was bland to say the least. If anything I feel bad for the bartender having to put up with the adults not controlling their kids and her having herself only behind the bar. Not good.

Okay this is some of best pizza I have ever had. The dough is so fresh, ingredients are top notch! I finally found the perfect pizza place in South Tampa! The venue has live music as well, it was Friday at 6pm when they were setting up! I highly recommend this place! Nice owners as well, super kind and clearly family operated!
