    This place is incredible. At first I thought it was a bit pricey for small pizzas however...after trying them (now several times) it is WELL WORTH IT. I don't even want other pizza now. I think this is the best dough I have ever had? We are making our way through the menu...I think my current favorites are buffalo chicken and the potato one but I have yet to have a pizza here that I have not loved. I also tried a pizza BAGEL?! So good. This is worth the drive and money!!!

    The fig and the pig. My fave.

    Amazing Pizza! This is a food truck! And amazing. He works by himself and hard. His dough is chewy and artisanal. The toppings are amazing. I can't stop eating it! Nice to have a Great local spot. Thanks Brent!

    This is my favorite pizza spot. Wish I found out about it sooner. My fiancé and I drive 30-40 minutes here every weekend.

    Very much enjoyed the meat lovers, and Hawaiian pizza and the crust was delicious! They are small manageable pizzas that hit the spot.

    This is just an update from my review of last night. I had…read morethe leftover pizza for dinner tonight ( and... ok I admit I also had a small piece for breakfast /cold) But what I reheated tonight just blew me away. I don't know how it's possible but I think it may have even been better the second day. Trust me when I say ... I eat more pizza than almost anyone. I've been to hundreds and hundreds of pizza shops all over the world including Italy. I also have been making pizza at home for the past 10 years. This pizza is it !

    Went in with high hopes given the 4.5 rating, but unfortunately this visit fell short…read more Service was a real issue -- our waitress took our order and then seemed to disappear for the rest of the night. No drink refills, and we had to flag someone down just to get our check and to-go boxes. We started with a Caesar salad after finding out the octopus carpaccio (which we were excited to try) had run out -- the salad was fine but pretty unremarkable. We also ordered the Montecristo pizza with burrata, which looked great in theory, but the burrata was not evenly distributed -- piled onto one side, leaving the rest of the pizza bare. The crust itself was floppy with no real flavor -- no standout sauce or seasoning. Honestly, I think I could make a better pie at home on my Gozney. Our friends weren't impressed either -- the lasagna was underwhelming, and the cheese pizza they ordered (with a request for extra cheese) came out with no extra cheese at all. Disappointing overall, especially given the price point and the reviews. Might try again someday to see if it was an off night, but not in a rush to go back.

    We were in the area for an appointment and decided to stop by Bavaro's for dinner before the rush…read more We had tried coming here before without a reservation, but it was super packed since it's a smaller restaurant so we were excited to finally get to try it! This time we went earlier and there was only one other couple there so we were seated right away. We ordered a pizza, oysters, and the lemon pasta, and everything was SO delicious. The food came out quickly and the service was very attentive without being overbearing. I also really loved the vibe here. It's cozy and intimate which makes it feel like a great spot for a date night or a nice dinner. We'll definitely be coming back the next time we're in the area!

    We stopped here on a whim while walking in Downtown and loved the outdoor seating (one of the few…read morein downtown Tampa). The food is very good and super large portions. We easily will split an entree next time. The tagliatelle al limone was delicious - very light, the flavor was good and I was also a big fan of the broccolini. My boyfriend got the Penne Alla Vodka and added a chicken cutlet (which $15 to add a chicken cutlet is actually insane). The pasta could've used more sauce in both of our opinions. The service was a little on the slower side, which we wouldn't mind as much if the gnats outside weren't eating us alive. They have fans, but the one table we sat at was where the fan didn't reach. So this is definitely a reservation-indoor seating spot for us next time unless they add another outdoor fan. This dampened our experience a bit, especially because we were excited about the outdoor seating.

    Great place to grab a quick bite…read more We were at the children's museum and got hungry so we decided to walk the short block to grab a bite here. It was at around 11:30 on a Tuesday, and we were the only ones here when we first arrived. Later a ton of people started coming, so I think we just beat the rush. I'm glad that more people showed up, because this is a great spot. Service was really attentive and she checked in on us a good amount of time. Future Christina, your older son will eat the garlic knots, which were actually delicious. It says they are homemade and I also could not stop eating one, and I generally avoid carbs. He did not eat a lot of of the pepperoni pizza he wanted, they do not have a kids menu, but if you ask, there are things they can make kid sizes like the pasta. The personal pizza is the smallest they go. I got eight wings with a side of fries, because my son also wanted fries. He did eat a good amount of the fries, so next time I think I would just get him garlic knots and fries. I'm on a high protein diet, so the wings were great. I got the garlic Parmesan sauce on the side and a side of blue cheese. The garlic Parmesan was OK, but the blue cheese was delicious, I would definitely get it again. My dad got a pepperoni pizza and said it was quite crispy, he liked it. Overall, I enjoyed our meal here and I would definitely come back.

    When we arrived on Thursday night for dinner before Tampa Theatre, we were not dissuaded when we…read morediscovered they had no AC. It was a pleasant night to sit outside at one of their tables: not too hot outside, with a cool breeze. It had to be really hot in the kitchen. We felt bad for the cooks! While sitting outside we enjoyed our meal. Our waitress was good, and I'm sad that I don't recall her name. Husband got a burger, and asked for cheese, but didn't get it. Our waitress offered to take it back. He said no. But maybe he should have sent it back. He said it lacked juiciness and wasn't flavorful. Maybe the cheese would have helped the flavor. I ordered the Big Boy Grilled Cheese with bacon and pear slices. It came with arugula salad and ranch. I enjoyed it all. I will definitely get this again. It had a lot of cheese! We've been here many times, and we will return. For Husband, he'll get the pizza next time. It's ALWAYS good!
