    Carmelo's Supreme Pizza slice
    Rich G.

    Lunch. Time. Salad and a slice of pizza. Yummy as always. Great service. - plenty of parking out front. Not very busy today. 5/5.

    We were in town and I wanted pizza so we stopped here, we were a little confused at first because it looks like they are sharing a building sort of with the gas station. But just go in and find the dining room and you're good. The staff was super kind and attentive. We got garlic knots to start and they were super good. My boyfriend loved the Mariana that comes with it. I also had a ceaser salad and I was slightly disappointed because there was roasted red peppers in it which it didn't say in the menu and I wasn't a big fan of them but the rest of the salad was good. My boyfriend got the Margherita Pizza and he liked it, he also got a meatball which he enjoyed as well. I got a pepperoni pizza with jalepenos and banana peppers and it was SO good. Definitely would come back here when we are in the area.

    Very popular place in St Augustine. If you love pizza, burgers, etc. this is your place. The place has an outdoor patio Located next to a Marketplace and Gas Station, it a cool space to dine in. Staff are friendly as well.

    Not tons of ambiance but it gets the job done and the food makes up for it. I asked about prosecco and she said I could buy from attached gas station and drink in there. Gave me a glass and all. We ordered fried zucchini and garlic knots to start both delicious and plentiful. The mains were lasagna and a small white pizza really good flavor on both ricotta on pizza so good and everything came out super hot. Server gave good recommendations and we will def go back.

    Calamari

    We're staying in St. Augustine for a few days and decided to get some pizza. After a Google search, Carmelo's came up as the best pizza place in St. Augustine, so we placed an order on Uber eats for pick up. On the app (which might not be the pizzeria's fault but they should make sure the information is accurate), it looks like you're buying a whole pie of pizza. We ordered the stuffed supreme pizza (square slice in the attached photos). It was not a whole pizza and it was definitely not stuffed with anything. It was literally a square slice of a Chicago deep dish pizza topped with marinara sauce and cheese; no stuffing to be found (again, look at the picture where we bit into it and it's just bread). When my husband picked up the pizza and realized that the exorbitant amount of money that we paid for the stuffed supreme pizza was just for a square, he decided to get additional slices of regular cheese pizza. When he asked about the slices to the woman in the front, she had a condescending attitude. The extra slices were fairly priced for the size. However, upon tasting them, they were dry and flavorless. There was no sauce in them and the cheese was barely palatable. Good thing that my husband had the foresight to order chicken wings (not pictured) and calamari in addition to the pizza. Those two things were actually pretty decent. Overall, I don't understand how this is one of the "best pizza" places in town. You're better off getting pizza at a 7-Eleven. Not only would the pizza taste better, you would get better service there as well. The only two things that were worth getting at this place were the chicken wings and the calamari.

    So happy I found this place. I'm from jersey. Live in California and really miss good pizza. This is the best slice I have had since the jersey shore. Almost didn't try it when Waze took us to a gas station. Located inside gas station one side is a restaurant in between is a takeout area with a few tables where we dined. Incredible antipasto as well and the meatballs were quite good. Really good Italian sub good portion but could use more authentic Italian bread Will be a regular during my stay in Florida.

    Pizza awaits

    Hot tasty pizza in 3 sizes with an assortment of toppings or pick one of their specialty pizzas. Nice salad too with iceberg lettuce. Service is friendly and casual. Only negative is this place is tiny with only 5 booths and 3 functioning tables. Two more tables sat empty because the girls said they didn't have any more chairs. There are some outdoor tables but when it's 30 degrees outside, inside is the only option. Small counter offers 4 seats. This is a pizzeria in a She'll gas station but totally worth the wait.

    Carmelo's Deli side was the way to go tonight. Full service restaurant was full with a waiting time. What do you do? You go down the hallway and go to the deli. Their full menu is available both in the restaurant and at this counter service, so there's lots of choices. A few tables also allows you to eat there. The atmosphere is buzzing with lots of activity. It was fun watching the pizzas being made while we ate.

    Meat Supreme Slice Pizza
    Chris C.

    Have wanted to try this place for years , just always see it on the way out after eating. Nice quaint clean place, with an extensive reasonably priced menu. Great service from a very positive happy young lady, even late at night after her probably long day. Stopped for only a couple of slices and was not at all disappointed with two New York slices of the Meateater and an ice tea. About $17 with tip. Plenty of meat, good mozzarella (not that cheap corporate stuff). Good mix of meat toppings and a good hand tossed crust with no droop and a very minimal about of oil drip(considering the amount of meat). Crust had a good char and crisp not at all soggy. Great job and will be back

    Divine pizza no matter your choice. Meatballs are super tender and juicy. The Greek salad is delish due to the homemade dressing with feta cheese. I love that you get it by the slice if you want which results in a crispy crispy crust! This is a very busy place with limited parking but just be patient and you will get a spot.

    Insalatta mista salad.
    Dwight M.

    Parking can be tricky. Always a great food place. Pizza is crazy. Single slice options are great. Cold beer and great wait staff. Nothing can be better. Don't let its location fool you! !

    White Pizza Slice
    Keith E.

    Cool pizza place with excellent pizza with great service. Try the white pizza...you will not be disappointed.

    No flavor white pizza! Very sad. No garlic flavor. Just a sad pizza.

    My partner and I went here Just Because (and to use a Resy credit from AMEX), and it ended up being…read moreone of my favorite recent dining experiences. Arrival: There are parking lots nearby--expect to pay around $15-25. As we walked up, there was live jazz music playing in the courtyard, which set a really great vibe right away. Service: Our waiter was attentive and timely without being overbearing. Food: Everything was amazing. We started with the bread service--the truffle butter was definitely the highlight (we didn't care too much for the ricotta spread). FYI: the little cubes that look like white cheddar are *not* cheese...I learned that the hard way by biting into a square of butter. For dinner, I had the cacio e pepe and he ordered the 100 lasagna. Portions were a bit smaller than expected, but honestly fine after filling up on bread. For dessert, we shared an affogato--the espresso wasn't burnt (which is surprisingly rare), so that was a big win. Overall: After the Resy credit, parking ended up costing more than the meal, which is kind of wild. Only downside was that there are just two restrooms, and there was a line when we went. Great time overall--will definitely be back.

We started with the bread appetizer, which came with several types of fresh bread and an incredible lineup of spreads like whipped ricotta, truffle butter, regular butter, and honey. Every bread had its own distinct flavor and texture. Next up was the sausage appetizer featuring both a sweet sausage and a spicy sausage, all made in house. They were cooked perfectly and served in a flavorful sauce with peppers that tied everything together. The balance between the sweet and spicy was so good. For my entree, I ordered the lasagna, and it was pure comfort. It reminded me so much of the classic lasagna I grew up eating, layered with rich Bolognese and a creamy bechamel sauce that made it feel both nostalgic and elevated. My boyfriend went with the steak (I believe it's a New York strip) and swapped a few of the sides to his liking. The steak was absolutely cooked to perfection, a beautiful medium rare. I may or may not have stolen about four bites... and yes, it was worth it..... We were way too full for dessert, but we did enjoy a bottle of wine with dinner which made the whole experience feel like the perfect date night. The service was fantastic, the food was memorable, and it's definitely a place we'll be coming back to for many more dates!

The interior wasn't my favorite; the aesthetic didn't really read as Italian to me and leaned more modern. The tables and seating felt a bit on the cheaper side. We went on a Friday around 7:30 pm, and it was surprisingly quiet inside. Drinks: I ordered a sangria, which wasn't my favorite. It tasted on the weaker side. Food: I ordered the gnocchi. It was a bit rubbery and not as soft or potato-forward as I prefer. It reminded me more of store-bought gnocchi than homemade. That said, the portion size felt fair for the price. Location: The restaurant is located on the St. Augustine Beach barrier island, which is convenient if you're staying nearby and don't want to head into historic downtown for dinner. It was in a slightly odd spot within a business complex, with condos located above. Service: Good. Overall: It's fine for convenience, but not a place I'd suggest to someone visiting St. Augustine and looking for standout dinner spots.

The restaurant is adorable, featuring memorabilia from the family's original restaurant and family photographs. Our server was excellent. I started by treating myself to a lovely bottle of wine. Sometimes dry rosé is a bit hard to find, but the Fuedo Disisa was excellent. While we waited for our meals to be prepared, we enjoyed a basket of soft, warm bread with herb garlic butter. It was like having dessert first! My husband ordered angel hair spaghetti with marinara sauce. He really enjoyed it. I ordered chicken Marsala. Both dishes were excellent. The Marsala sauce was so flavorful, plenty of mushrooms, and is served with your choice of pasta--I had penne. The entrees were both plentiful portions and we had enough to take home for another meal. We saved room for dessert.

    It saddens me to write this review of a restaurant with so many positive reviews, but sadly this…read morerestaurant missed on just about all of the food that we got. The service was pretty good, I can admit, however even that could've been better. We got started with our evening with a bottle of wine which was reasonably priced. The house arancini was chicken stuffed, which we were only told about after we ordered the dish. Sadly, the chicken pieces were large and there was just not enough cheese to really make this dish work - nor enough sauce. I even got a piece of bone in my arancini, which just ruined my appetite. We then had decided on the chicken parm for the main course (which later we realized was rather similar to the arancini). The first chicken parm piece that was got was rather large in size, however as we cut into the dish we noticed that half of the meat was still pink and cold to the touch. We showed our waiter, and instead of treating us with some empathy, we were told that "well its not our fault, but I've been trying to tell the guys in the back to pound the meat before cooking it." We were given another piece of chicken, and it was only slightly better than the first piece, but we ate a few bites and called it an evening. It's too bad, I'd be willing to try this place out for other dishes but I don't know if I'll choose this place again, knowing there are other options nearby. The best part of the evening was the ambiance and the wine, so maybe a happy hour in the future is in order.

When this was brought to the attention of the staff, I was asked if I wanted it "warmed up" or redone which seemed odd to me as the chicken was literally raw in the center and not just a little under. My experience didn't leave me wanting to revisit sadly, but hopefully this was just an off night.
