Central Florida takes its pizza seriously, and after years of taste-testing every slice around Kissimmee, Poinciana, and Orlando, these are the pizzerias I keep coming back to. From authentic Neapolitan pies to classic New York slices and family-frie...
If you've never had Chicago-style stuffed deep dish, this is where to start. The cheese pull is unreal, just come hungry and order ahead since it takes about 45 minutes to bake.
Giordano's
A Central Florida original where everything is made from scratch with no preservatives. Their Old Town location is my go-to for a fresh, hand-tossed pie after walking around the shops.
Flippers Pizza Old Town Kissimmee | All-Natural Craft Pizza
Famous for slices so big they hang off the plate. It's a college-town institution near UCF and a fun, cheap stop if you want a giant slice and a craft beer.
Lazy Moon Pizza
Michelin-recognized and worth the drive to Curry Ford. The wood-fired pies and rotating specials are some of the best in all of Orlando, and the Bruno (pepperoni and honey) is a must-order.
PIZZA BRUNO | Orlando FL
The coal-fired oven gives the crust a signature char you can't get anywhere else. Their well-done wings and the fresh mozzarella with charred bread are just as good as the pizza.
Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza & Wings
Right on I-Drive, this is my pick when out-of-town friends want pizza near the parks. The pretzel crust and funky psychedelic decor make it a fun, kid-friendly stop.
Mellow Mushroom Orlando - International Drive
A no-frills, locally owned spot in Winter Park serving authentic New York-style pizza at honest prices. The thin-crust slices fold perfectly and the garlic knots are addictive.
Antonella's Pizzeria Fairbanks
Authentic New York-style pizza in the Dr. Phillips/Lake Cay area, made by folks who clearly know their craft. Grab a foldable cheese slice and you'll feel like you're back in Manhattan.
NYPD Pizza Lake Cay
My reliable delivery and takeout pick when I don't feel like cooking. The fresh dough and three-cheese blend make it a cut above the big national chains, and the Pizza Bowl is great if you're skipping carbs.
Marco's Pizza
A family-run Italian spot where the pizza shares the menu with proper homemade pasta. Cozy, old-school, and the kind of neighborhood place where the owner remembers your order.
Pomodoro Trattoria & Pizzeria
More than just pizza, this is a full Italian grille and bar that locals love for date night. The brick-oven pizzas come out blistered and the bar scene makes it a fun evening out in Kissimmee.
Tomatoes Italian Grille & Bar
A longtime Kissimmee favorite for hearty, old-school Italian-American cooking. Their hand-tossed pizzas and generous family-style portions make it a great pick when you're feeding a crowd.
Big I Italian Restaurant
If you want true wood-fired Neapolitan pizza with a leopard-spotted crust, this is the spot. The Margherita with San Marzano tomatoes and fresh mozzarella tastes like a trip to Naples.
