50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Tierra Verde

“The food is Always delicious. Always. And the staff all work hard and are very friendly.“

“Definitely a diamond in the rough!! There were 5 in our party and even tho we waited awhile it was definitely worth it. Our waitress was excellent and let us know from the beginning that she was backed up but would be back to us as soon as she could check on the other tables. She was actually the only server on duty!! The food was also excellent and well worth the wait and the price was very reasonable. We also sat where we could watch the kitchen staff working their butts off handling table orders as well as a stream of take out orders. All 5 of us agreed our experience was worth every minute. While we were there I didn't hear any complaints at all, which is highly unusual when you have any kind of wait. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We even tipped the kitchen staff for their hard work.“

“This is my go to spot for pizza in St Pete! Eddie always does it right!!“

“😁We discovered Flippers during our evacuation from the Hurricanes. Great Pizza and appetizers. Red was our server and she was terrific - attentive, knowledgeable about the menu and considerate of our situation. We weren't rushed and enjoyed our experience. Thanks, Red!“

“I’ve never eaten there, but I can tell you that I know Kelley. And Kelley is the kindest soul and she knows how to make pizzas. I will be making a stop next time I’m back in the Burg. Support friend’s small businesses 🫵🏻“

“Great atmosphere friendly staff. We had to wait about 40 min to get in as they were pretty busy when we got there. If it’s a super sunny day I would recommend eating inside we are outside and it was super hot and sunny the umbrellas they have don’t cover much. The food was super good! I got the waffle burger and I was really good! It would be worth trying the combination of sweet and salty was perfect. It was served with breakfast potatoes those were not very good as they were soggy I only ate a couple because I couldn’t handle the texture of the soggy potatoes. I ate some of the fries my husband got with his meal and they were really good! If you’re in the area give this place a try they’ve got a good menu with lots of choices.

Parking: We had a tough time finding parking. You had to get lucky to find street parking. There was a garage not too far away that had reasonable parking.“

“Great staff and always good food.“

“I have gotten take out several times from Nicko’s. The food is always fresh and delicious no matter whether it’s a Specialty Pizza, the 2 slice/drink for a quick grab and go, or their subs!!!! Their prices are great, the staff is super nice, service is fast and the food is delicious!!! It is just the gem we needed on the Southside!!!“

“I Love Going To Gianni NY Pizza with my Mom it’s Always A Fun Time With Her Haven’t Been There In A Few Months But It’s Worth The Reive Across Town.“

“While visiting downtown St. Pete last week, we decided to have pizza in our room instead of going out one night. We called Joey Brooklyn's and then walked the two blocks to pick it up. WOW, it was the best decision we could have made. Awesome Pizza!!! Thank You!“

“Very good, so good we had to order two of the five days we were there 😉🤣“

“Our friend ordered pizzas from here today, and this was my first time trying it. I built my own pizza with house-made tomato sauce, whipped ricotta, oven-roasted peppers, and baby arugula. We were shocked at how good it was—so delicious and full of flavor and truly a New York Style Pizza! I’ll definitely be going there for more. 😋🍕“

“This establishment is undoubtedly one of my go-to spots whenever I am in town. It offers the finest pizza I have encountered in over thirty years. Eddie and his wife Rena, both dedicated small business owners, invest their heart and soul into every dish they prepare. They are an extraordinary couple who take immense pride in their culinary craft and are genuinely appreciative of their customers. Their commitment to quality and passion for their work truly enhances the dining experience.“

“Cute atmosphere — definitely gives cozy Italian vibes. The waitress was a little… hard to read? Not rude, just had kind of an indifferent energy. But the food made up for it! I had the cannelloni with pasta and marinara, and it was delicious — cheesy, rich, and full of flavor. Portions were generous too. Great spot if you’re craving hearty Italian comfort food.“

“this is my favorite pizza place in St. Pete! wait times are long even if you call right when they open but, it's so worth the wait!“

“Came here on vacation, the only thing better than the pizza was the service. Will come again if ever in the area“

“Hands down the best pizza we’ve eaten…fast, fresh and super friendly service!!“

“I usually love everything that I've ordered but today I ordered 10 chicken wings with medium sauce from the Seminole location and they were horrible unless you like pepper on your wings. I'm not a fan of pepper and when I called to ask if I received the correct order was informed that this location adds pepper and you have to request no pepper. Wasted money on them today. It should be on the menu that they do this to all of the wings. Disappointed 😞“

“Amazing dinner tonight! We loved everything we had! Amazing menu with so many options. Such fresh ingredients! We had the white pizza, chicken Parmesan, spaghetti and meatballs, pepperoni/meatball Stromboli, mozzarella sticks, knots and medium wings! Can't wait to come back and try more things!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️“

“I traveled to Italy this summer, and I have to say, the pizza I had tonight at Colony Grill was better than any I had during my trip! I’d never had Connecticut style pizza before, but it is my new favorite—every bite has sauce, cheese, or toppings on it, so there’s no risk of leaving a pile of uneaten crust on your plate. I’m so surprised to see other reviews commenting on lack of flavor, because that is what so positively stood out to me. I think it might’ve been the hot oil that created such a tangy, crave-able taste, so I’d recommend ordering that as a topping. It’s one of the cleanest restaurants I’ve ever been in, the booths are comfortable, the service is attentive, the beers are well-poured, and the pizza is (in my opinion) better than Italy. Colony Grill is a welcome break from the ultra “trendy” and Instagram-forward restaurants that cost $$$ for a decent dinner downtown. I wish I’d given this place a try sooner!“

“Excellent Pizza, wings and Burgers. Great daily specials. Tommy and his staff are wonderful. Good spot!!“

“Buona ristorante (aka Buona pizza) advertises themselves as a classy Italian restaurant. This place is nothing more than a pizza joint. Extremely small inside with paper table cloths that they tear off from a big roll on the back wall. Ordered garlic bread and calamari for appetizer. Garlic bread was OK, calamari was so tough you could not even chew it. My mom's OSSO BUCO ALLA MILANESE (pork shank) was seasoned good, but I could tell it was cooked earlier and then heated up. The outside of the pork was warm, but the middle was stone cold. My wife and I got a Hawaiian pizza. It is thin crust and extremely soggy. Could not even pick up the pizza slice it was so soft. Had a horrible, weird tast me to it, almost like a sour tomato sauce. Barely even ate one slice and left the rest of it there. Went there for birthday dinner, and it was ruined. I guess our first red flag should have been that on a Saturday evening, it was not even busy.“

“Absolutely the best delicius We love my family and friends Reasonable price,“

“The pizza was AWESOME! We got a pesto mushroom pizza, the bigger size was perfect for two (we ate half at the restaurant and half later). Good beer and liquor selection. The staff was warm and inviting and the place itself was cozy. We sat inside but there was outside seating as well. Overall, great experience.“

“Passed this place for too long. Ordered an 18 inch pepperoni. Price was great. Pizza was even better! Delivery was fast. Very good. Thanks 4th St. Pizza!“

“A friend from Church recommended this place and I was very happy with the pizza. She told me it was a family run business and they were newly opened. So glad we tried them.“

“If you're looking for a fresh take on pizza with top-notch ingredients, best pizza by far and have lived here 25 years, you absolutely have to check out
Slice of Gulfport! It's already become a new favorite spot for a delicious pie, Thank you. Sven“

“Shout out to Sara Lee for the delicious Spiced Apple Sangria recommendation!! Make sure you ask for her when you visit!!“

“Great pizza!! New York style at its best !!“

“Stopped in for a quick bite, food was delicious 🤤 🤤🤤“

“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“

“The pizzas are great we ordered the buffalo chicken pizza and it was fantastic. But the pasta entrees are my family’s favorite. The pasta puttanesca is truly amazing. We have been here a few times and we order it with shrimp or blackened chicken. The portions are American Italian so you will have some to take home. The house salad is also excellent. The Italian Margarita is a refreshing drink after a few hours in the burning sun.“

“i ordered a large cheese pizza with very little sauce. i love the sauce but cant eat it. The man waiting on me said he could take care of that and he did!!! The pizza was absolutely wonderful as always but even more so because there was hardly any sauce so i could eat and enjoy!!!!“

“I love this place! Whether it’s late night spur of the moment after party food, or I plan to come here for dinner, it’s always delicious. The guy who makes my food (penne pasta with mozzarella cheese thrown in the oven 😉) you’re the best! My kids love their pizza and if they had it their way, they’d be here every other day for lunch.“

“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!“

“This pizza 🍕 is the best!!“

“Took care of us after the hurricane. Great people!“

“Had a large reception at near by resort and they accommodated me on a short notice of 25 pizzas. Had great suggests on how many I needed for guest count and some of their specialty pizzas that went over well with my family. Highly recommend. Great taste, great options, very intimate atmosphere.“

“Their cheesesteak is amazing and their pizza is good too. The blonde woman manager, was one of the most friendly people ever. Also, a couple other staff that I ran into were very friendly as well. The Italian ice was the perfect desert. My only recommendation is more sauce on the pizza, but I’ll just ask for it next time.“

“After landing late at Tampa I was hungry and noticed this place at the side of the road.

Guy behind the counter was polite and took my order quickly. Pizza was fast, only had to wait around ten minutes!

As for the pizza… it slaps hard! Just what I expected, no nonsense American style pizza, full of flavour, loads of topping… what’s not to like!

If I am passing by in Tampa and I am hungry I will certainly buy food again.“

“This is my second order and I can't stop thinking about how good this burger was... I did a burger with yellow American cheese chipotle mayo jalapenos and tots. Along with fried mushrooms to sample... The only negative is don't give marinara with the shrooms.... Try ranch, blue cheese or tzaiki if I'm saying that right.. so damn good“

“pizza is great. we ordered a si.ple large cheese. very hot when we got. garlic knots are also very good. we will be back.“

“Miss Johnny tho :( . Just ordered a Johnny pie today. Call by 2 pm now days they close at 3 pm.... Nothing better in St Pete then a Johnny pie. Only the locals understand right guys, it is closest to Cassano's as I can ever find down here. ?“

“If you want to unwind and let your hair down, this is the place. I enjoyed myself. The food was delicious and the saxophonist was awesome. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. It was a nice atmosphere and a nice crowd. Tori you have a great place for us to unwind, thank you, great job. I will definitely return😘“

“A legendary St. Petersburg gem. Paisano’s perfectly preserves the nostalgic family pizzeria restaurant. Their garlic butter crust pizza has a flavor I haven’t found in any other pizza I’ve had anywhere else🤌 There’s a reason they’ve stayed open for decades. We had a really fun time here. May is an awesome server!“

“Loved our meal but the front end person is lacking in being helpful and rude. Can you not look for someone wanting to work.“

“Pizza was really good. Enjoyed it!!“

“Every time I have gotten pizza here the employees have been very friendly and helpful. My pizza has been very good.“

“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.“

“West Shore Pizza is back in South Saint Petersburg!!! The new management is friendly and efficient. I ordered a pizza and it was the best pizza I've had since they closed down. It was better than the old management. Tony and Mike are bringing a family restaurant back to the Southside. Yay!!!!“
