Best Italian Restaurant in Florida

Leopard-spotted crust. No apologies.

The leopard-spotted crust

Slow-fermented sourdough. Blistered, charred, and built different. Every pie is baked on it — no exceptions.
The bakery case

The bakery case

Cookie butter, lemon curd, peanut chocolate — the cheesecake case rotates and it sells out. Come early.
The secret meatballs

The secret meatballs

Beef, veal, and pork. Slow-simmered, smothered in cheese, finished with ricotta. Order them. Trust us.

Tried this newer spot today in City Marketplace (they have another location in Flagler Beach on A1A). We shared the Pick Two lunch special for $22. Plain Cheese pizza plus the Eggplant Parm Sandwich. Both were terrific, and we took home leftovers. Nice dessert case but go early if you want bagels because they sell out. We will definitely be back to try more items. If you go, ask for Lexie. She was our terrific server!

Even though we're not from New York, (so we don't really know what a truly great NY pizza is) we stopped in to try the New York-style pizza, and it was excellent! The crust was perfectly crispy on the outside, while the inside had that chewy texture. My husband said it was the best pizza he's ever had. We finished it off with the Salty Caramel Bread Pudding. So good! The service was awesome as well. We'll definitely be back!

Very very pleased. The Godfather pizza was great 🤤 and the Turnpike BLT hit the spot! I also love the names of all the food on the menu. We brought home deserts and my flourless chocolate cake w/snickers on top was divine 🤌.

First time there. Went for the lemon don special pizza. Delicious. Hope they make it a regular item. Our server was attentive and spent time answering questions. The owner came by and asked how it all was and was interested in our feedback. So many wonderful dishes on the menu, we will have to go back!

Amazing American-Italian food and pizza (both Neapolitan and NY style!). Fantastic selection of dessert and everything I've tried was delicious.. not to mention much of it is made with sourdough.. so it's much easier to digest. Owner often comes out to chat with all the patrons and to make sure all the food is to their liking. Great family atmosphere. Sam and Haleigh are great servers. Attentive, positive and with great attitude. Highly recommend!
