I found Brad's Underground Pizza through Yelp and was genuinely excited to try them, especially because they're known for Chicago-style pizza. My fiancé is from Chicago, and since we're planning a summer trip there, I thought it would be fun to surprise him with dinner from a place specializing in that style. I ordered a small deep dish and a large thin crust with toppings on half so we could sample a little bit of everything. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill with delivery. I'm always very detailed with instructions and clearly noted how to reach my door, where to leave it, and to knock. Those notes were printed on the receipt, so I know the driver received them. After waiting quite a while and wondering where the food was, my fiancé came home from work carrying the pizzas. The order had apparently been left on the ground in front of our screened porch without any knock or notification. Because of that, the food was cold by the time we got it. I had to reheat everything in the oven, which already took away from what was supposed to be a nice surprise dinner. Then came the bigger disappointment: the pizza itself. The deep dish did not live up to expectations at all. The crust was hard and almost tasted stale. Both pizzas needed a lot of "doctoring up" just to be reasonably okay. I called the number on the receipt afterward, and the only resolution offered was that they'd make sure I didn't get the same driver next time. I also tried calling the next day regarding the tip charge and was left on hold for 30 minutes with no answer. Overall, this was a really frustrating experience from start to finish. Between the poor delivery handling, lack of customer service follow-up, and disappointing food, I can't say I'd return. read more

I decided to try Brad's (which I was not aware of) after talking about deep dish pizza with my Yelp friends, Lorn C. and Mikhail C. They asked me if I knew about deep dish pizza based on my experiences up north, in and around the Chicago area. I said I was not aware of a "good" deep dish pizza in our area. They asked me to give Brad's Underground a try and report back to them, given my Midwest roots. So here goes: Brad's Underground deep dish pizza is as good as Chicago deep dish pizza, in my opinion. Based on other Yelp reviews, I agree that the ingredients are fresh, the cheese is perfect (just like actual Chicago style), and it holds up quite well with the crust intact. I ordered the 9-inch deep dish, with 1/2 mushrooms and 1/2 pepperoni. The taste reminded me of the pizzas I loved in the Chicagoland area. It's nice to finally find a similar spot here close to my neighborhood. Thanks, Lorn and Mikhail! Brad's is located in a shopping strip off Curry Ford Rd. It is part of the Collab Kitchens establishment which has various kitchens in the facility, providing pickup or delivery of your order. You walk in and there are several signs at the pickup window that direct you to push the ring button for someone to come up and give you your order. It's quick and easy. For Brad's business, you order and pay online through his website (www.bradsunderground.com). I selected the 1:45pm pickup time and I arrived at 1:47pm and my piping hot deep dish was ready for me. This definitely will be my go-to spot for deep dish pizza, especially when my Chicagoland friends come for a visit! read more

My favorite deep dish pizza ever! It's like a Detroit style meets Midwestern beer dough, which means the slices hold up their shape when you grab them. Delicious sauce and lots of cheese. The crusr taste a little bit like popcorn! When you order for pick up Brad himself gives you the pizza and he's super nice. Collab kitchen, the place were his business resides, is just for deliveries and pick up so there's no ambience. Give it a try, you know I love it. read more

My wife and I lived in Chicago 11 years and I've missed Chicago Pizza. This place is fabulous and the owner a really great guy. Flavor of the sauce, Crispness of the crust, the seasoning on the sausage... All excellent.. He offers more than deep dish-- give this business a try! read more

Pizza Perfected! If you were trying to find the best full pie the way it is up North at your favorite spot.. Give Brad's a Try. Only drawback is other pizza won't ever stack up. read more

Brads Underground Pizzeria - 14" Tavern Thin Crust Ex Cheese, Onion, Sausage, Green Pepper - Pizza Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Brad is a great guy/owner. Purchased the 14" Deep Dish Sausage Green Pepper Pizza. Crust is very tasty crisp on the underside to bite. Sausage reminds me of home, green peppers very fresh. Pizza sauce was very good, and the Wisconsin cheese brings it home. It is a 4.8 in Florida. Thank You Brad for bringing a little Chicago flavor to Orlando. read more

Thank you for bringing a taste of home all the way down here. Fantastic, efficient, and delicious. Will definitely be returning

Down in the underground you'll find... pizza! And pretty good pizza at that. Copious amounts of cheese, great sauce! And the crust is alright.. it tasted kinda sourdoughey so if you're into that you'll love it. Overall a great pie. We agreed that the deep dish was better than the thin crust. The only way to order is online. No calling in. It's located next to Publix and it's take out only. We ended up getting a couple of pies to go and eating them at hourglass brewing which is only 2 minutes away. read more

I had my first visit here and it was just okay. As a lover of thin crust pizza and tons of sauce (Midwest native), I was excited to check this place out. I didn't realize it was carry-out only and you had to order online (I found this out upon arrival). Once informed, I placed the order and was told it would take about 30-40 minutes. When going back into the restaurant for a "status check" (after waiting for 25 minutes), one of the staff members told me it would be another 25-30 minutes, as they had "just" gotten the order (not true). This was very disappointing, but I waited anyway. After finally getting the pizza, a different staff member apologized for the wait. The pizza was definitely hot and fresh and bigger than I thought! However, the sauce lacked flavor -- more on the bland side. The meats (sausage, bacon) were good, along with the crust, but I can't say I would order this again. Maybe I'll return for the deep dish one day... read more

Brads Underground Pizzeria - Thin crust pizza with sausage and bacon + extra sauce - Pizza Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Brad's Underground is a collab kitchen pickup type of business meaning they share a kitchen and only offer pickup or delivery. When you walk it it's a bit of a tight space, just a small counter, kitchen window, and a help button for assistance. There was a few people waiting for orders when I arrived and the worker asked me for my order name and advised me it's gona be 5 more mins. I got my order within those 5 minutes and the pizzas were super hot. For being 14inch pizzas they look bigger which I was happy with. I like that they cut their pizzas into square pieces. The pizza tasted ok to me, I wish it was more flavorful. It was to bland for my liking. Both the cheese and pepperoni were lacking flavor. I ordered thin crust but if I order again I'll try the thick crust, maybe that will be better. read more

BAM! KAPOW! BANG! I don't know who has been gatekeeping Brad and his pizza, but whomever you are, your like the villain of this review. NOT COOL! I just finished my first time eating a Brads Underground Pizza-14 inch, Half Pep, Half Sausage/Black Olives. Take out only, at bradsunderground.com. I suggest ordering the night before to make sure you get one of the prescribed pick up times. Don't question me, just read the rest of the review and you will understand. Trust me, it is worth it! If Orlando was Gotham City, Brad would be the Caped Crusader of Pizza and the distress signal in the sky would be a Large Chicago Tavern Style Pizza . I really did not know what to expect ordering online and showing up at a prescribed time. I thought it would be sitting in a box, getting soggy, I arrived five minutes early. Brad greeted me and got my pie right to me. It was no doubt the freshest pizza I have purchased in Orlando. He has a method, don't ask questions. When I drove the 20 minutes back home, the pie had only cooled slightly. The "girl wonder" was more pessimistic than me when I told her what we had to do to get our hands on the pizza equivalent to the "keys" to the city. Holy Pizzaman! Despite GW's snobbery on sauces (she has a Penguin like counter ego when it comes to complaining about pizza sauces), she loved Brads authentic and full bodied sauce which complimented but did not overwhelm the other ingredients. Someone should call the Mayor and tell him we have a Pizza Super Hero over at the Collaborative Kitchen! He deserves a gold pepperoni medal. He should rename his shop Brads Pizza Batcave, because this chef has seen the signal from those of us out here stuck in mediocre pizza city and saved the day! read more

Very bad service. This guy is a joke. I go to pick up an order he tells me 20 minutes I wait about 25 minutes for him to tell me he messed up and I have to wait another 20 minutes! That's a joke don't order from here read more

Finally tried Brad's Underground Pizzeria and it did not disappoint! They are located in Collab Kitchens at Curry Ford and Conway. I'd initially planned to cook, but wasn't feeling great. I decided to check to see if they happened to have deep dish available (they often sell out) and saw three left in stock and jumped on it! We ordered a deep dish with mushrooms. My bf went to pick it up and mentioned how nice the person handing the order to him was. Online ordering was easy peasy as well and it was ready by the estimated time. The pizza had a layer of plastic over the top to prevent cheese or sauce from sticking to the box which was a nice touch. It smelled and looked amazing. We each started with one slice. The sauce tasted fresh and delicious, there was an ample amount of great tasting, melty cheese, and the crust had a nice consistency. We both kept going "mmm" the entire time we were eating our first sliced (knife and fork style for this pie!) We both went for a second slice and couldn't quite finish it since it's thick and very filling, so had plenty of leftovers to enjoy. It's on the pricy side (about $30 after tip), but for the quality and how many meals it gave us plus supporting a local business, I have no complaints. We will definitely order from here again! I want to try their tavern style next and am excited to be able to satisfy a deep dish craving so close to home! read more

Delicious food! I highly recommend for a Chicago style pizza. Experience was easy and smooth and food was delish!

My husband and I saw the glowing reviews for Brad's and thought to try their thin crust and a deep dish. So glad we did! Thin crust is perfect. It's not heavy and has that necessary crispy crust. The deep dish was great! The cheese on the pie is super good. The pizza slices are big so one slice went a long way. Between the two of us who ate more than we should, one pizza is easy to split between two people. We have what is basically a whole pie in the fridge now! But hey, who doesn't love leftover pizza? Would hands down recommend and will be back! read more

Had Brad's Underground Pizza for the first time tonight and let me tell you it was amazing. I was even lucky enough to meet Brad himself. He explained how he gets his ingredients sent to FL from Chicago. I did not realize how.much I missed the fennel sausage. Let me tell you the smells from the pizzas sitting in my car brought me right back to Chicago, all I was missing was the RC! I ordered the thin crust as well as the deep dish and wow just wow. If you are missing Chicago pizza this is your place to go! read more

FINALLY - 25 years in Florida and finally found a pizza place!!! Pizza in Central and South Florida generally is sub-standard for someone coming from Chicago. Brad's pizza is very very close, and now my go-to place. I've been wanting to try this for a while and finally got there last night. Got one deep dish (Chicago-style) and one thin (tavern-style) on my way home last night. The deep dish crust was very close. On both pizzas he nailed the cheese and sauce. Tasted like back home. Thank you Brad, you have made a long-time Chicago guy very happy. I'm now a regular and will be going back often. Hopefully many people can try this and taste the difference. read more

First time in. Part of a shared cooperative kitchen type of place, located in Collab Kitchens. Step up, ring the bell and place your order.

Fresh ingredients, be sure to order ahead, pickup only I've been hearing about Brads Pizza for over a year - since before he had a brick and mortar location. We finally gave it a try yesterday. The new location is inside a collab kitchen and offers takeout only. Depending on day/time, the wait can be several hour. On a Sunday afternoon our wait was 2hrs for our order which was fine since we expected this. We ordered one thin crust and one deep dish pizza. The deep dish came with plastic wrap on top to prevent it from covering the box lid I assume. It had a pastry like crust, and was full of lots of cheese with sauce on top. It was very good and extremely filling. However, I preferred the thin crust as I usually do. This dough was crispy and thin, with a delicious sauce and cheese. The prices are a bit steep, but fresh ingredients aren't cheap. I wouldn't say it's the best pizza I've ever had, but it's very good. I would definitely order the thin crust again, and deep dish lovers will probably really enjoy the deep dish. Give Brads a try! read more

If you are involved in any way with the foodie scene in Orlando, you had to have had heard about Brad's Underground Pizza. It started out I am assuming in his kitchen and people would Rave about the quality of his pizza. People would literally wait months for their order to get a pizza from the elusive Brad, who is based in the Maitland area. Brad's Underground Pizza has since opened in Collab Kitchen, a ghost kitchen located on Curry Ford and Conway in a shopping plaza with a Publix as its anchor store. Wall the lead times have gotten considerably better since they have joined up in this ghost kitchen, you can still wait several days to get an order. Being in the mood for pizza, I took a chance. I went to Brad's Underground Pizza's webpage and as luck would have it, I can have a pizza within a few hours. So, at about four o'clock in the afternoon I placed my order for a Double Decker pizza and was told that I could have it ready for pickup at six o'clock that night. I headed that way a bit early and stopped at a produce store not far from where Brad's Underground Pizza was located. As I was picking out some produce, I received a text saying that my order had been pushed until 6:15. Not a big deal, but be aware that they do keep in contact with you and your time might change. Just as I was pulling into the parking lot, I received a text saying that my pizza is ready. This was now 6:07. Once again, really not that big of a deal, but I did want to mention it. I picked up my pizza and headed back home. Upon opening yet, I had to say that it look good. With my first bite, I knew that it was good. In case you are unfamiliar with what a Double Decker pizza is, it is two thin crust pizzas bunched together with a single crust. Between the two slices, they add a layer of tomato sauce, as well. I have to say that it was a very good and interesting introduction to Brad's Underground Pizza. In addition to their Double Decker pizza, they also offer a tavern pizza and a Chicago style deep dish pizza. I look forward he trying all of their pizza and I definitely will be returning. read more

Awesome, LEGIT chicago style deep dish pizza made with good ingredients. Delivery is through Door Dash FYI.

I recently discovered Brad's Underground Pizzeria. It's in a shared kitchen, so it's a bit hard to locate in the plaza. Once we found it, we put in an order and it took about 30 minutes to complete, which wasn't too bad considering it's deep dish. I'm going to start with the pros. I loved the sauce, the toppings were delicious, and the pizza was fresh and hot upon return for pickup. It has a lot of sauce, which I absolutely love, and it was very well put together. The pizza part was FABULOUS. For the cons, I would say it was a bit on the pricier side for pizza, about $30, and the crust itself was very plain. I would've loved to see more crispiness on the crust, or some kind of flavor or seasoning option for the crust. I'm not too picky about pizza crust, but it just didn't do it for me. I would come back here, and would recommend. read more

Wow. Brad is the man. A local pizza entrepreneur who was doing so well selling pizzas out of his home he got a kitchen to deliver the high demand of his deep dish. I LOVE DEEP DISH PIZZA, so although I might be bias this is my favorite pizza in Orlando. Also love how he's gives you the ability to fully customize your pizza with different toppings on right or left side. read more

I have to be honest and say that I'd probably eat more Brad's if I could get a slot, but I'm not really a pizza plan-aheader. I'm more of a "man, I want a pizza" guy and it seems like every time I want pizza it's several hours before I can get a slot. I've managed to sneak in 5x now and I've enjoyed all of my pizzas. I will say that the one I found myself least likely to enjoy was the one I actually enjoyed the most... the doubledecker. I thought it was going to be not so good. I tried the deep dish and the tavern style and put off the doubledecker out of fear. I loved it. I'd put my ranking as: 1. doubledecker 2. tavern 3. deep dish Ordering online is super simple. Getting a slot is luck. I will say that one time they flat forgot to make my pizza, but I'm not going to slam them too hard because it was what looked to be a super busy Saturday night. I got there and they were like "Ohhh... it's... um... not done yet. It's still cooking. It will be about 15-20 minutes." which immediately spawned Jon Lovitz from his SNL days saying "Yeah, that's it, that's the ticket!" in my mind. I love supporting local small businesses and gladly will stuff my face with delicious pizza. read more

Well after seeing all the hype for this place we finally got 2 pizzas from there. Ordered on Tuesday and it was ready on Sunday. I was not impressed by them what so ever. First when picking it up at the time they gave us, the pizzas was not ready and they didn't add the meat to the pizzas. We ordered the thin crust pepperoni and deep dish sausage and got just cheese on both. The dough on both tasted like cardboard. The only good thing was the sauce, nice flavor but I didn't enjoy them. But that is my taste buds. You should still try them and you might have a different experience. I won't be back. read more

So this is a bit of a local legend as of late. Brad started by only taking orders through Instagram DM for delivery. Word got out about his amazing pizza and he had a multiple month wait list so he opened this location in the Collab kitchen. I had been wanting to try his pizza for nearly a year. I placed my online order (which is the only way to do it) and there were still almost no available slots for almost a week. We planned a pizza party with my sister and got a deep dish with pepperoni and a double decker with onions and bacon. Both were delicious and very filling. Our two pizzas made about 8-10 servings and it took us several days to finish it. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of toppings and quality that you get. I will definitely be taking on this adventure again soon. read more

Found Brads while searching online and they are in collab kitchens (I refuse to eat the big chain pizza). I have to say I was a little hesitant but this place is legit. Brad is the only employee and he takes pride in his product. I had the thin crust (Tavern) pizza and it was great! Now I have to order the deep dish. I love the ghost kitchen concepts because they let owners like this showcase their product without all the traditional overhead that keeps them from opening in the first place. Keep spinning out those pies Brad!! read more

The pizza is both amazing and different from the normal pizza we have in town. I wouldn't say it's authentic Chicago deep dish (it's not THAT deep). But honestly I like it better. You can eat it with your hands if you see fit which I prefer. All in all, this is probably our most consistently favorite pizza place now. The quality hasn't gone down now that they can take consistent orders. read more

I have known about Brad's for over a year but when I would look to place an order, the slots were always full, so I was surprised today when I planned to get pizza on my way home from work and there were many spots available-from 4:30 on, every 30 minutes. I was sadly very disappointed in the pizza. I ordered a deep dish with pepperoni and half mushrooms and a thin crust with half cheese and half green pepper, onion, and mushroom. The deep dish price was reasonable for the size and typical for deep dish pizza. The thin was priced a bit high and my order was almost $57 with tip-that hurt a little, but we wanted to try both styles and don't live close by. When I got to the kitchen, there were a few people waiting for orders and no one to serve them. I rang the bell as instructed and someone yelled, "be right with you" from the back. I stood there for at least 10 minutes waiting for someone to just hand me my pizza which was annoying since it was ready. As soon as I smelled the pizza, I knew I was going to be disappointed. It had an odd smell which was very unappetizing. That killed my interest immediately. I think it was the crust but I really don't know. The sauce was fresh but bland and a little salty. The crust was dry but not in a bad way; it reminded me a bit of Lou Malnati's. I couldn't taste the pepperoni at all. The cheese was good but the sauce and smell ruined it for me. The thin crust was just as disappointing. I usually only leave positive reviews because everyone has different tastes, and maybe this just isn't for me, but it was so far from what I expected after all the hype that I had to leave a review. I hate that it was not up to par, especially being a local business. Maybe things have changed since it opened-that would explain all the open order slots on a Friday night. read more

I was excited to try Brad's infamous deep dish pizza. This spot has been a main topic of Orlando pizza for a while. Service was spectacular. Unfortunately I was not so thrilled about the pizza. As an entirety, it lacked salt and overall flavor. The crust has a very nice flaky texture and gets better with each oven reheat but I found an overall lack of flavor between all 3 elements: the crust, sauce, and the cheese. Needless to say I arrived home and sprinkled it toppings which made the pie fabulous but I expected more overall :( read more
