    Late night after a tour. They are open late. We have drove by on our way downtown many times. Grabbed a booth and checked out the menu. All sounded so good! Grabbed a Half Ortolana Pizza and half Pepperoni Pizza. Really god and a good choice if you want to try their pies. Vibe was laid back and service was great.

    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.

    The pizza was very good. We got the 20" supreme and it was HUGE. The crust was perfect!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Awesome Calzone! Don't think it's inside a gas station it's next to the gas station! I went to college in Rome and I'm Italian blood and I know a good calzone and 2/3 at a time. I don't like them if they're not made by a New Yorker or in Italy. Well, I love this one turns out the owners in Italian from New York. Only $15 for the Ricotta, Great tomato sauce and three fillings I picked the pepperoni and mushroom with some extra garlic. Yeah Baby. Kyla is a great server w a spuncky personality! Plus, the cigar city beer was only four bucks a pint and it was good too.

    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

    Left is Meat Supreme Pizza Slice n Pepperoni Pizza Slice
    Kelly B.

    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! !

The cooked penne was sitting on the counter uncovered, just vibing at room temperature like it had officially given up. The sauce? Scooped from a container and reheated with all the passion of a microwave at 2 a.m. The complimentary bread arrived looking hopeful... until we realized it was a square dinner roll slathered in what tasted like imitation garlic and oil -- less Italian trattoria and more middle school cafeteria meets olive oil cosplay. The Chicken Marsala arrived undefeated in battle against any form of tenderizing. This chicken was not pounded thin -- it clearly lifts weights. I needed a steak knife, determination, and possibly a waiver to cut through it. We shared one entrée and a bottle of wine that tasted like grapes filed a formal complaint, and somehow the bill still hit $65. I checked twice to make sure we hadn't accidentally invested in the business. And just when you think the experience is complete, surprise! There's a debit card fee. Don't worry though -- the owner's son (also waiter, host, busboy, and possibly assistant regional manager) will loudly explain it from across the restaurant so the entire dining room can stay informed.

I'll start with the food. We asked for our pastas to be al dente and we were willing to wait for a fresh batch. It came out so over cooked you couldn't even put a fork in it! The quality of the food was very low budget! Not even restaurant depot low budget but more along the Walmart or Aldi kind. The bread was great. We asked for a second round on it! When we got our check we were charged for bread! Never in my life have I been charged for complimentary bread! And to not even tell us, that's the crazy part! Let's move to the desserts. When offered we were told to look in the case next to our table that was the desserts. They were clearly old. The tiramisu and cakes were dry on the top and not even covered! We passed! Now onto the service. This place is so small I don't know how you can lose your server. But we did. When the food came out we wanted cheese she was gone for at least 10 minutes! So either no cheese or cold food. Not how you eat Italian food! Not to mention she had a serious attitude problem! Tried to simply chalk it up to she's having a bad day. She was rude! Needless to say we will not go back here to give it a second chance. There are much better places out there.

    This restaurant is one of our "go to" for a real authentic Italian meal…read more We brought some family that was visiting during the week and everyone was very satisfied with their meals. The only complaint was that the dishes with vodka sauce had way too much sauce on the plate. My sister-in-law can't eat gluten any more as of last year, so she had bolognese with gluten free pasta (she said it was good but not great) but she said that is because she misses her regular pasta, so no pasta will ever be great again for her. My Niece had pasta with vodka sauce, there was way too much sauce on the plate but it was very good. My Nephew had chicken parm with vodka sauce and he loved it, again a little too much sauce on the plate though. I always get the same thing, escarole and beans with grilled chicken over pasta. This time it was a bit spicy for some reason, so I didn't love it as much as usual, but it was still very good and something you just can't find in this area. Dessert was cannolis and home made cheese cake. The owner makes the cakes here and they are all very good. Service was very attentive and good. P.S. their bread with whipped butter is excellent!

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. My husband had the chocolate cake and I had the Italian cheesecake which is made from ricotta cheese. It was creamy and delicious, and I enjoyed it with an excellent cup of coffee. Highly recommend this lovely family restaurant, a favorite of the locals in St. Augustine.
