The salads are always fresh. The pizza is always good quality and it’s always quick and ready. They are conveniently located in a large shopping center with lots of parking and there’s always coupons and deals for pizza and sides. I would definitely recommend this location to everyone.“

Luca and Erica are amazing cooks and hosts. Diego took very good care of us. I have spent time in Italy. My mom lived in Italy. She and her husband Giancarlo cooked Italian food.

“Delicious food, flawless service! We used Johnny C’s for a corporate luncheon, and they absolutely knocked it out of the park! The trays of pasta were hot and fresh, the meatballs were a crowd favorite, and the garlic knots disappeared within minutes. Picked up was on time and the setup was effortless due to the trays being ready to go! Highly recommend for any event—you won’t be disappointed!“

“My wife and I after enjoying the Christmas festivities over here in Wesley chapel as we were visiting from Lakeland, we saw this place looking for a bite to eat and it was approximately 8:52 p.m. when we walked in. we asked how late they were open and they said 9:30 but would we still like a table, that spoke volumes so we said yes we would like to try this great smelling Pizza that we could smell as we were walking in. as we got in everybody's smiling happy the owner is just as friendly as can be the decorative walls is what really caught my eye. I have a friend from the island in Italy so it was very warming to know the detail of all the places about Italy. We got the Hawaiian pizza and we knew that this was definitely different than what we've had in the past, the ingredients were spot on the way it was made was incredible and we just sat there not being rushed to enjoy our meal everyone just going about doing what they do best and we just talking over the events of the evening and several times we just remarked about how good this pizza is. as we were close to leaving cuz we did not want to keep anyone late we were just wanting a quick bite to eat but something very good and we got it from this wonderful place the owner came up and asked what we thought and I remarked to him" questo è eccellente" this is excellent in Italian very kind-hearted man, sweet disposition and you see the love of what he is committed to, but I could honestly say when I seen how the workers just cheerful and in a very relaxed environment there's magic in this place, looking forward to going back on purpose to visit this particular place over in Wesley chapel!“

“Great Italian Cuisine in Ybor City! The Chicken Parmesan was heavenly!“

“Poppa’s Italian Factory is a fantastic place! The food is amazing, freshly prepared, & fast! Donna & Ken are super-sweet & treat you like family! I’m a huge fan of their eggplant parmesan & the desserts are all delicious—especially the Italian pistachio cake! They recently made a big box of Italian cookies for an event to support Hope Services & it was a huge hit!
Thank you so much for your all you do & for being there all the nights I don’t have time to make dinner! 😊“

“I accidentally placed my order at a different Hungry Howie’s location, and the manager, Ray, was incredibly kind and helpful. He immediately contacted the other store, made sure I was reimbursed, and then prepared my pizza fresh and quickly. His customer service was outstanding, and he truly went out of his way to help me. The pizza tasted great, and the entire experience turned what could’ve been frustrating into a really positive one. Huge thanks to Ray for the excellent service!“

“I went to Cipresso last night for dinner.I took advantage of the ICON half off deal.It was half of everything including alcohol. Such a great deal. John the bartender is an absolute rockstar and gem .The filthy martini and espresso martinis( i ordered one dark and one creamy) were all phenomenal .I ordered the scallop special with polenta.Fresh U-8 scallops with polenta and vegetables.The picture does not do it justice.It tasted wven better than it looked The spaghetti and meatballs is a consistent win.I was really impressed by the food and service“

“It’s my favorite!! I have never had an issue and I’ve come here a lot!! The few rare times I had an issue with an order delivered by a third party, when I call they make sure to make it right. The workers have always been friendly, with one guy in particular that unfortunately I can’t remember his name but he’s there alot! I will find out and edit this after. Not sure if he’s the owner, a manager, or a regular worker but I love seeing him there! The food is great and it’s super cute!“

“Stefano’s Pizzeria is a great spot if you’re craving solid, classic pizza. The food is fresh, the portions are generous, and you can tell they care about doing things right.

Try the Greek pizza with gyro — it was so good!!! The flavors are amazing and it’s something a little different from your typical slice.

The atmosphere has that classic old-school booth-style pizzeria feel that reminds you of the pizza places from years ago. Casual, welcoming, and perfect for just sitting down and enjoying a great meal.

Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in Tampa and in the mood for really satisfying pizza.“

“Great Service! Everyone is great! I always feel like family! I from NY and the Pizza is as close to home as I can find. Always keep coming back. I strongly recommend. Thanks Taste of NY.“
