It doesn't get any better than this! We ordered a pepperoni and sausage pizza and cannolis, the stock "first order at new Italian place to check out the basics." We also ordered an antipasto to go. Crust on the pie was thin, crisp, and firm enough to stand up to the generous meat and sauce. Sauce was perfect--full-flavored and tangy with no sharp edge. So good it made me smile. The cannoli was crunchy, not tough, with creamy, not sticky-sweet filling. Couldn't ask for better! I don't know how the antipasto was, but by the time I remembered to try it the next day, there was none left. Southport is so lucky to have Bambini's Pizzeria in town read more

I was watching them put pizzas together while I ordered and assumed that the "crust" they were putting down was some sort of cardboard liner to box up your pizza. Nope, they actually pretend that this is some sort of food. The crust was inedible. New York attitude without the good pizza? Check. The woman at the front taking orders was super rude. Didn't want to be bothered with us on a busy night. I wish I'd taken the hint. An hour, two pizzas, a few nasty, soggy mozz sticks and $55 later, we were finally able to get our order. I opened the pepperoni box and saw a cheese pizza with a single piece of pepperoni in the middle. I'm sure I'm not the the first one to have to go back in and ask is this was an actual pepperoni pizza, but they think it's a good idea to put the pep under the cheese. Who likes crispy pep anyway? Not the 15 incredibly sad looking employees in there. The white pizza was maybe the absolute worst thing I've ever had. No further notes, 0/10, would not wish on my worst enemy. Folks, this is absolutely MISERABLE pizza. Brave the wait and go a mile down the road to Pepperoni Grill where they make good food and appreciate their customers. Pizza Shack is a blight on your soul.

Pretty good pizza!…read more We drove by the Pizza Shack several times over the years and when we had friends to the beach, we decided to give it a try. It was pretty good! The crust was crispy and our friends said that they were making the dough in the back. We got a Hawaiian pizza, a veggie and a cheese pizza. All of us were happy with each pizza. If you like cheese, they put plenty on the pizzas. The staff was friendly and promptly waited on us. There are two booths in the store, so you can eat there or at picnic tables outside. We just waited at one of the tables and our pizza was ready very quickly. We took the pizza home and it was nice and hot. Recommended!

Roomy and not crowded table arrangements. Server was very pleasant and helpful in making choices. We skipped appetizers as we know Italian food servings are typically abundant. We ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana and the night's seafood special which had shrimp, scallops and lobster with prosciutto filled pasta in a creamy tomato brandy sauce. The food was delicious. The eggplant thinly sliced was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Served over linguine and marinara sauce. My seafood special was amazing. The shrimp were huge, plentiful amount of lobster and the prosciutto filled pasta was very good. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I'm taking a point off only because for $14 the wine pour was very light. Also, the bread which was very fresh only had 3 pieces and the dipping oil was about 2 tablespoons at best.(I know we could have probably asked for more) Solid choice for Italian food.

The Deets: In a continuing search for a good pizza delivery meal this beach trip after our first try this trip did not pan out perfectly, we chose to try out a new place for us in Patronies Pizza. They do not deliver themselves but are available through DoorDash, they informed us. We chose to get all 14" pizzas, one of them their White Pizza, one of them their Supreme Pizza, and another one of Meat Lovers Pizza. Adding on some cheesy bread and mini cannolis, we locked it in. Our DoorDasher had to wait a good while for our order to get completed per app, but when it arrived we were pleased. Their pizzas have plenty of toppings per pizza, satisfying and sturdy crust (I could stand it a bit thinner/cripsier but that's just me), and each different variety tasting so good! The biggest hit of the beach house was their White Pizza, I would definitely recommend trying this one out here. The other pizzas were satisfying and tasty as well, and I enjoyed their cheesy bread. Top it off with a bit of dessert from their mini cannolis and you've got one heck of a good delivery meal for our beach trip. If they had been a bit snappier time wise in getting the order ready, these guys would be near five star territory. I'm a fan!

It's thin crust, which you might think would be crispy but it wasn't. It was chewy in that hard to chew kind of way. Idk what the sauce is. It's more like tomato soup. Idk. Not good. The pizza was greasy. Super greasy. We added ricotta cheese to it, which added nothing to this flavorless pizza. We also did half sausage. The sausage was good but something that bothered me was if you get a topping on the full pizza I think it was $2.50 per topping. If you add it to only half the pizza it's still $2.50. I know for sure there's no way they are using the same amount of sausage on a full pizza as they do for half. I felt it should be half the cost but they don't do it that way. I'm glad we tried this so I wasn't left wondering about it but I'd never go back. If you're a pizza place and the pizza is terrible I don't have much hope for the rest of the menu items.
