Reviewers' Greatest Hits: Kissimmee Pizza, by the People Who Ate It

Every pizzeria says its pizza is the best. We thought it'd be more fun to let you say it, or not say it, in your own words. So on November 9, 2026, we sat down with a cheese slice and read through our public reviews on Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor, Facebook, and a few smaller sites.

Here's where things stood that day. Google showed 4.2 stars from 960 reviews. Tripadvisor showed 4.3 out of 5 from 40 reviews, with food and value each scored 4.6. Yelp showed 3.6 from 108 reviews, and our Facebook page said 88% recommend, from 293 reviews. Every number here is exactly what the sites showed on the day we looked, and we never name a reviewer.

The most-mentioned dishes in our reviews

Google groups reviews by the words people use most, which made our job easy. On the day we looked, "new york style pizza" came up in 52 reviews, and wings came right behind at 49. Garlic knots showed up in 20. Stromboli, gyro, and pinwheels had 8 each. Eggplant parm appeared in 3 and baked ziti in 2, so the pasta fans are out there, just quieter.

The wings number surprised us. We're a pizza shop, and yet almost as many people talk about the wings as about the pie. A New York native on Tripadvisor called them "fire," and a longtime regular on Yelp said the sauces are very tasty. Our wings come plain unless you pick a sauce, and there are twelve to choose from, including Mild, Carolina Gold BBQ, and Lemon Pepper. The sauce we saw reviewers name by name was Garlic Parmesan.

Pinwheels are the sleeper hit. Reviewers on Google and Yelp keep calling them out as a favorite starter, sometimes alongside a couple of slices. We make them three ways (Cheesy Garlic, Pepperoni, and 3-Meat), six to an order with marinara for dipping. Over on Yelp, the dishes the site lists as popular include the Philly Cheese pizza and the stromboli, each named in 4 reviews.

Crispy outside, chewy inside: what reviewers say about the crust

One description keeps turning up across years and sites, almost word for word: crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside. A Tripadvisor reviewer said it in April 2025, after admitting up front that they're not a pizza person at all and never understood the hype. A Yelp regular said the same about the crust in January 2026 and added that the slices are "perfectly foldable." A New Yorker who moved to Florida said it in 2024 about the buffalo chicken pizza.

Our favorite crust review came from someone who works at other pizzerias and still comes to us when the craving hits. They called it good crust with "no flop," and said the Sicilian slice had the right balance of crust, sauce, and cheese.

A family from New Jersey, in town for a dance competition, saw it differently. They liked our sauce and cheese but found the crust plain. Google's "burnt pizza" tag shows up in 4 reviews. Four out of 960 is a small number, and we still take each one seriously.

Slices "as big as my head"

If one thing unites our reviewers, it's size. A first-timer on Yelp in 2025 said the slices were "as big as my head." A family passing through Kissimmee called the slice enormous. Another traveler called them huge and signed off with "4 thumbs up," which we choose to believe means they brought a friend.

A New York slice is wide and thin, and you fold it down the middle so the tip doesn't droop. One Tripadvisor reviewer even left an insider tip for newcomers, and it's the same one we'd give: grab a cheese slice, fold it like a true New Yorker, and bring napkins. A cheese slice is $2.99, and you can add toppings for $0.75 each. Reviewers mention leftovers a lot, too, and one Yelp regular wrote in August 2025 that our pizza reheats nicely the next day.

The New York test: transplants weigh in

Our reviews are full of people who grew up on a real New York slice and miss it. They're our toughest critics, and they don't hold back.

Most of their verdicts lean our way. The New York native on Tripadvisor in June 2025 said finding the real thing outside the city had been close to impossible, then titled the review as a slice of home. A reviewer from Mount Dora wrote on Yelp in November 2025 that we were the best New York pizza they'd eaten anywhere in Florida. On Airbnb, three locals recommend us, and one in November 2025 put us among the closest to NYC style around. A grandmother who ate in with her grandkids put it most honestly. She'd had better in New York, she said, but this was "awfully close."

A few people say no. A visitor from Nevada couldn't picture a New Yorker approving. A volunteer in town for disaster relief work said it didn't remind them of a typical New York shop, though in the same review they mentioned the staff threw in the last couple of slices for free near closing. Arguing about pizza is a New York tradition too.

Families, visitors, and people who drive in for a slice

A good share of our reviews come from people who aren't from Kissimmee at all, like the dance competition family or the vacationer from Philadelphia who was happy to find good pizza on a trip. One traveler pulled off near the Osceola exit and found us by luck. A Fort Lauderdale family wrote that they stop for a slice on the way up to Orlando and take a whole pie home on the way back.

Plenty of reviewers come down from the Orlando side, too. One couple on Google wrote that they come all the way from Winter Garden, and many of our Yelp reviewers list Orlando neighborhoods as home. If you live in Hunter's Creek, the planned community over in Orange County, our page New York-Style Pizza Near Hunters Creek has everything you need for pizza near Hunters Creek.

That Winter Garden couple ordered the tortellini Alfredo, the cheesy garlic bread with extra cheese, and The Big Meaty Chick, our sub that's half meatball parm and half chicken parm. They planned to take pictures of it all, but the husband finished his sandwich before anyone thought to pick up a phone. It's the best food photo we never got.

A Yelp regular said they like that we offer family meals, and the one to know is the Big Family special: two XL one-topping pizzas, 20 wings, six garlic knots, and a 2-liter soda for $52.99. If you'd rather have pasta, every dinner comes with two garlic knots, and our knots have their own fan club in the reviews.

The people behind the counter

Google pulls the phrase "friendly cashier" out of 14 reviews, and kind words about staff run through almost every site. Tripadvisor scored our service 4.3. The review that made us smile most was one on Yelp in March 2026 with no food in it at all. A customer wrote in only to praise one employee who was taking phone orders, working the register, handing out pickups, and looking after the dining room at the same time, and they decided she deserves a raise. On the same site, value scored 4.6, as high as the food.

What reviewers told us to work on

The clearest pattern in the complaints is timing. Several reviewers came in late in the evening and found the slice selection thin or the kitchen winding down, and a few delivery orders arrived cooler than anyone wants. Two Yelp regulars in January 2026 loved the wing sauces but said the wings ran small that day.

The fixes reviewers suggest are simple ones we agree with. Come a little earlier if you want a full choice of slices, and order ahead online or by phone so your pickup is hot when you walk in. And if something's wrong, call us, because we'd rather fix your dinner than read about it later.

Most of you call us the Best Pizza Place in Kissimmee, a few of you say not quite, and we read both kinds with the same cheese slice in hand. Come in, sit in a red booth under the painted skyline, and tell us which side you're on.
