Can I take away one star for being too far away for us to visit daily? Haha! The food here is A-MAZING. Fresh. Creative. Made to Order. As someone who absolutely must be careful about everything I eat I cannot say enough about how impressed I was Florish. The place is so clean it literally sparkles and the staff is amazing. Owner Keith was knowledgeable, welcoming, and really took the time to talk "ingredients" with me. We shared the Sausage Pesto and my goodness. Spicy, slightly sweet, crispy, peppery. Mmm. I had a small salad (and it's pretty small) and hubby had a side of quinoa & kale blend with creamy ranch drizzle. All so so good. This would be a great place to show your non-vegan friends just how good vegan food really can be. Recommend! read more

I can't say enough good things about Florish and I am so glad to have discovered this spot. I have been a few times now for take-out and every experience is great. There is a family member of mine who can't have any dairy and it's so hard finding places that accommodate this so I'm very grateful we have this in Tampa. The pizza itself tastes great and it's cool they found a way to make vegan pizza that tastes close to the real thing. We are definitely going to become regulars here. Customer service is awesome too and the inside is always clean. I can't wait to try more of their menu out in the future! read more

Florish - Kids' Cheese Pizza (no seasoning!) - Pizza Near Me - Tampa Bay, Florida

Absolutely incredible experience! From the moment we stepped in, we felt the love and joy and goodness in the air. This completely vegan restaurant is cute and quaint and the staff is phenomenal! They were so kind, patient and helpful. We got the loaded wedges and nuggs and both the meat lovers and pesto flatbreads (added chicken), which were soooo good. The dark chocolate cookie was also very good. They have tasty, sugar free drinks and coconut waters as well! Can't wait to come back! read more

Florish is a great fast casual spot for plant-based options!!! I've only ever gotten their flatbreads/pizzas and haven't tried the bowls, but every time I've gotten the pizza I have loved it. This time we got the Chicky Buff pizza which was actually a little bit spicy but tasted great! We also got the wedges with ketchup. The ketchup was clearly homemade which was nice to see. The workers were all friendly and gave us recommendations. Definitely check Florish out if you want a quick plant based option. read more

Vegan gem in Tampa! I highly recommend this vegan pizza place my husband and I discovered while visiting Tampa. It's a genuine find with an incredible experience. They have a diverse menu that includes tasty bowls and great side options (besides the delicious pizzas). Everything we tried tasted super fresh! The people working there (and the owners) were exceptionally nice, friendly, and kind, making the visit memorable. And the place is super cute!

I came here for a Yelp event when it first opened and I'm a bit upset that it's been over a year since I came back. I won't let so much time go by again. The food was delicious just as it was the last time. Tho it was cooked, everything still tasted so fresh and the staff was very welcoming ! The place is simply decorated and very clean. The prices are actually very good bc a lot of places overcharge for healthy foods. Now.. those cookies, ehhhh them being $3.50 is a lot to me bc they are a bit small but they are soooo worth it. They were super moist. This was the perfect post workout meal! read more

This restaurant was absolutely amazing from the cleanliness of their location to the friendliness of the staff to the meal options. I wanted to try something plant based and stumbled upon this restaurant. There were lots of pizza and bowl options on the menu, and they even had a few desserts. The owners were really great at helping us choose an item. I got the pesto sausage pizza And it was incredibly flavorful. My friend ordered the Jersey girl and loved it. The owner makes these peanut butter chocolate cookies that were the highlight of the day. I cannot wait to go back and try more options. The pizzas that we ordered were huge for the price that we paid. I really hope they open up a location closer to Saint Pete so I don't have to make the trip often... But I will. read more

Love the pizza and cookies at Florish. The dough is so tasty and flavorful along with the rest of the ingredients used in the pizza. The service was very friendly and accommodating. Love the stylish decor/ambiance Florish offers also. I'll def be back to try the other types of pizzas offered and more cookies. Everything on this visit was great! Parking lot is of ample size but can probably get hectic if there's a crowd. Hope you get some Florish in ya life! read more

I visited Florish and I am giving it 5 stars because I was blown away by how good the vegan pizza was. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to give up real pizza but if I had to, this would be the place I would on the regular to get my fix. This is definitely a fast casual establishment. Nothing fancy just really good vegan food with an excellent selection of options. I highly recommended to vegan and non vegans! read more

The hubs and I were visiting Florida and stopped by Florish for a late lunch. It's located at the end of a strip mall type building. Inside the restaurant is simple and cute. You order and pay at the counter before having a seat. The menu offers a selection of Pizzas, bowls, sides. The hubs had a pizza and I had a bowl. The ingredients were fresh and delicious. The pizza was so good we ordered another to-go to eat later for dinner. This is a plant based restaurant but the biggest non-vegan would not know unless you told them. The bigger picture however, vegan or not, the food is spectacular in flavor, quality and portion. I wish there were one in my city. read more

Not vegan, but the pizzas are genuinely so delicious. I got my pizza really fast, and it was really nice sitting in there with all the plants. Fun for vegans and non-vegans alike! read more

Florish has been on my restaurant list for a long time, and I'm so glad I finally had the opportunity to try this place. This is the vegan restaurant I needed! For one thing, I've had vegan sushi, vegan salads, vegan sandwiches. But 100% vegan PIZZA???? This I had to try! I think one of the best parts about this place is that the vegetables are the stars and the food here was delicious! Of course, pizza is one of those comfort foods that is still a treat, it had to be decadent. Florish offers signature creations as well as build your own. I decided to with one of their signatures. I got the "sausage pesto" pizza. Sausage crumbles, vegan mozz, pesto sauce, all topped with arugula and balsamic drizzle. The crust is homemade, soft, with perfect balance of crispy and chewy. The pizza is quite long, and seems massive, but the nice thing about the veggies to vegan meat ratio is that it's quite light, yet still satisfying. I loved the texture of the vegan crumbles mixed with the arugula. The balsamic added and a good tang to counter off the bitterness of the arugula. Next we got the side salad. Not much of a side as it's actually a fairly large size. I really like Arugula, and glad they have more it along with sliced mushrooms, and I believe nut "parmasean". The best part of the salad was the tumeric vinagerratte, which I picked and was recommended by the friendly worker behind the counter. This side salad I could eat EVERY day. (I'm actually one of those people who LEGIT likes a good salad). I love the vibe of this place. Modern, yet still cozy. All the seating was clean and inviting. Although the dining area wasn't very big, I was glad to have snagged a spot for myself. Besides pizza, Florish does offer bowls. I think I would like to try that next if I don't zone in on another pizza. read more

Best ever vegan pizza-- 100% home-made!!! Not to be missed; unique combos. Even non-vegans...!

The first time I happened upon Florish Plant-based Eats, I had been heading home after spending the day at the beach and just wanted to try something new. I ordered the Baked Meatball Parmesan Pizza to-go, and the entire drive home, I felt ravenous from the amazing smell wafting out of the box. I barely made it home before I ripped the box open. Recently, I was in St. Petersburg, FL, and finishing up my plans out that way. I was in the mood for grabbing a bite at a vegan place where I would have a whole menu of selections (rather than the typical two or three choices that are veg-friendly at standard restaurants). Even though I have some tried and true favorites in St. Pete, I couldn't get Florish off my mind, and I came back to Tampa to try the Fab Farro Bowl with its housemade cashew ricotta and housemade almond Parmesan. It was amazing! If I tried this dish not knowing where it was from, I would have never guessed that the ricotta and Parmesan were plant-based. The portion was hearty and filling, and the flavors were wonderful. The service was top-notch, just as it had been the first time. One of the owners was right there behind the counter, checking the quality and engaging the guests. If you're going for the first time, the pizza is what will make you fall in love with the place. The bowls just keep the relationship healthy and strong. read more

So glad we came back to give this place another try! It's very clean, very fast and food tastes fresh! You order at one end, can make your own pizza or bowl or choose from their signature pizzas/bowls. You sit anywhere you want and they bring the food out to you. They have so many plant based options and tempeh lentil options too. I still Cannot believe everything is vegan, the home made ranch sauce is so good! The pizza crust is also amazing. We started out with two pizzas and both were so flavorful! We ended up getting a third, chicky pizza, with impossible chicken. Would recommend to anyone, our friend he isn't vegetarian loved this too! read more

First time popping into Florish for lunch Parking- easy in parking lot Seating inside and a few tables facing the parking lot Order at the counter. Kind of hard to read the fine print on the menu board, acoustics of the ventilation + high ceilings make ordering kind of hard to hear Nice assortment of canned drinks + a few beers available Pricing very fair for plant based choices Def will come again when im in the area. read more

This place popped up in my search for vegan options in Tampa, and it's probably my new go-to if I'm back in town! The pizza was so savory, aromatic, and delicious it is almost dangerous. I tried the Jersey Girl ($15 with tax) to-go, and my order was ready on time. You can add green onions, parmesan, and red pepper flakes for additional zest and no additional cost. The slices seem a bit on the thinner side, but they are generously loaded with toppings and packed with flavors. Will definitely be visiting again! read more

For Sunday morning, we were looking for a place to have veggie brunch. We searched near us and decided to have brunch from florish because of the menu which included plant based vegetarian food. Florish is a nice restaurant with different menu options which are plant based. When we entered the restaurant we were greeted by the servers which were amazing, helpful and ready to answer the questions. From the menu we decided to order Avant Garden and Buffalo Soul bowls. The bowls were ready in around 10 minutes. First we got Avant Garden bowl which were delicious and made with the fresh ingredients. The bowl was delicious and it was amazing. Soon we got our another bowl which was buffalo soul which had plant based chicken which was delicious and had healthy ingredients. Delicious food with fresh ingredients and amazing food. Definitely a place to have vegetarian and delicious bowls. read more

Tampa does "upscale fast-casual" really well, but Florish adds something I do believe we were lacking before: a nutritious vegan option. After a vacation where I ate at least one plant-based meal per day, I'd been searching for more plant-based restaurants to incorporate into my rotation. I happened to type "vegan bowl" into my Apple maps one day while driving through South Tampa looking for lunch, and came across Florish which had recently had its grand opening. Vegan restaurants often focus on meals that are supposed to look, sound, and feel like they're real meat, cheese, egg, etc. The beautiful thing about Florish is that it uses real, nutritious ingredients in well-balanced plant-based meals. They specialize in bowls and flatbreads. I got the Avant Garden - my ONLY complaint was that I wished it had a bit stronger of a flavor, but it was still a delicious meal and I would get it again. Another positive note - one of the owners was on site when I ordered, and he took the time to remember my name. He actually said my name when I left, which is special because I watched plenty of other guests come in and leave since I sat down. Looking forward to trying every bowl on the menu, and eventually venture into the pizza as well! read more

This is a generous 4 star review. I don't think the food or service rates 4 stars, and I wish I could give 3.5. But I can't. I don't think, however, it deserves the round up to other area 4 star restaurants. So why am I bestowing this honor? It's 100% vegan and they deserve a lot of credit for their menu and options and one of my 3 issues with my meal was unique to my order. We came before a show at the Straz. We weren't that tight on timing, but it became tight because it took almost 20 minutes for our food to be finished. You'd expect a place that operates kind of like an assembly line to get their food done quickly, but no. It took a long time, and the more frustrating part is that these are very thin crusts and mine - the gluten free - didn't even have to be freshly made - it was pre-frozen. Same with our chk'n nuggs appetizer - frozen impossible chicken nuggets. While the service was very friendly and helpful, it just shouldn't take so long. Second issue was the buffalo sauce. I've had vegan buffalo sauces before, and they taste like buffalo sauce. This had a nutty after taste, presumably due to the nut-based cream used to make the sauce. But if so, you need to try a different base or add something else to cover the aftertaste. In fairness, my fiance loved it, so maybe it was just me. I'm not saying not to try it, but I would probably have preferred the BBQ sauce. Last issue was the gluten free crust. The pizza - I got the "meat" lovers - was otherwise excellent. Very tasty. But the gluten free crust was crisp on the outside (good) but way too chewy inside. I know that's how you expect good pizza crust to be, but my jaw was getting a workout. It took a lot of effort to chew up this crust, and it shouldn't. The gluten free crusts at Gianni's in Saint Pete, or Oak and Stone, or Blaze, is much better. I really appreciate the option, but this wasn't a good one. As I said, my pizza was otherwise very good, and I wouldn't have had the same complaint about the regular crust. They also offer bowls, which sounded fantastic, so I will probably come back and get a bowl next time. I think this would easily have been 4 stars or more if not for the buffalo drip and the gluten free crust, so avoid those and you'll love your meal. read more

Not to sound dramatic, but this was actually the best pizza we've had! The flavors worked perfectly together. I had the Chicky Buff Pizza and my partner had the Jalapeño Popper Pizza! Would order both again 100% not pictured is the Loaded Potato Wedges that were also amazing, we inhaled them before I remembered to take a picture haha Additionally the space was super well designed, it felt clean and open. The people there were also super personable and it was never awkward even though I'm such a shy person. Thanks again, Florish, for an awesome dinner! read more

Based on the menu I was expecting Florish to be a major vegan junk food joint. I was pleasantly surprised to find that while their menu is full of vegan meats and cheeses, the resulting dishes are not super greasy, salty or oily. It seems about as healthy as this style of vegan food can be. I was drawn to Florish because of their Nuggs & Wedges appetizer. It features Impossible Nuggets on top of potato wedges and covered with buffalo sauce and house made ranch. Wow! Both the nuggets and potatoes had great texture. They were soft on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. The ranch was nice and light with good flavor and the buffalo sauce added just the right amount of spiciness. I also ordered a flatbread, the Jersey Girl, which is red sauce, mozzarella, sausage, bell peppers, mushrooms and parmesan. I loved the crispy crust and the flavors on top. So good! Everything I experienced at Florish was really good. I just wish I was able to try more but my stomach is only so big. If you get the chance, Eat Florish! read more

Advertised as "crave-worthy" is accurate! Came in and was instantly greeted by the owner Keith. He was so friendly and just seemed so genuinely glad that you were there. I looked at the menu ahead of time, so I already knew I was ordering the Buffalo Soul Bowl. I love chicken so I was interested to see how the plant-based detail would taste. I didn't miss the chicken at all. The Buffalo nuggets were perfect and I love their Buffalo sauce. The rice and sweet potato were perfectly seasoned and cooked. I usually just get a water, but went for the blueberry raspberry tea and it was delightful. Not too sweet like some teas can be. I hate to admit that I'm so full after this bowl I'll have to save my peanut butter chocolate pretzel cookie for later! So yum!! read more

You are going to eat an entire pizza yourself because it's that good. Save room for one of the peanut butter cookies!

I can't say enough good things about this place. The food was amazing one of the best pizzas I've ever had and it was completely plant based. I had the amazing opportunity to meet the owner and he was kind enough to share his family's story with us. It was very pleasant to here their story which to say the service here was nothing less than amazing, so friendly and made us feel right at home. It's not often I meet the owners of the place I'm eating but when I do and the genuine kind character feels welcoming as it did, it definitely makes me want to come back. Just wanted to share that this place was clean and decorated perfectly, it has that family feel to it. Thank you for the great food and amazing service.

I don't have any dietary restrictions nor am I vegan/vegetarian so I don't frequent these type of restaurants often, however I'd been curious about Florish for a while. I got the margherita pizza and the chocolate coconut cookie. I was so pleasantly surprised with how delicious both of these items tasted. The pizza was very thin with a nice crunchy crust. The tomato sauce was so tasty, had the perfect sweet to acid balance. The cashew ricotta was surprisingly good and creamy, and the almond parmesan added an additional crunchy texture to the pizza. The cookie was soft in texture and although it was rich dark chocolate it was not overtly sweet. Service was on point, everyone was so helpful and attentive. read more

I cannot stop saying great things about this shop! They went above and beyond to make sure my experience went well. The staff was super friendly and well trained. The dining area was clean and inviting. There were many tables and chairs to choose from. I chose the margarita flatbread, and I was not disappointed! I am not vegan, but I enjoyed the dairy free ricotta. I'm sorry if no one else was able to try the peanut butter pretzel cookie. Mine was so good, I bought the remaining few to go! Who knew a dairy free cookie, could be so dang good! They have many drink choices, all bottled. I discovered me new favorite tea! This is an unusual choice in food than my normal, but I was pleasantly surprised again and again. I will continue to visit now that I know it exists!

I was told this was the best plant-based pizza, so I was so excited to try this spot in Tampa. We were greeted by a friendly crew, with unique flavors on the menu, and the fluffiest bread on a pizza you'll ever have. No, I am absolutely serious. The first pizza is a Build Your Own, using all three bases, homemade sausage, red onions, fresh mushrooms, house made cashew ricotta, artichoke, and lime pickled cabbage. Topped with a BBQ drizzle, this was a beautiful pizza in and out The second pizza is a combo of two classics - Bohemian Jack made with a house made jackfruit doused in a savory BBQ sauce, and Sausage Pesto, using their house made sausage crumbles made from cashew and wheat*. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE BBQ JACKFRUIT. It will knock your socks off, I promise! This was indeed the best vegan pizza shop in Tampa Bay; the variety is immaculate and the presentation shows how much love is in this pizza!

Vegans and people who just like good quality, amazing tasting food will be pleased with the offerings at Florish. It's a place with a good heart.

I went to Florish for an event- not a place I would usually try but it was better than expected. I'm a carnivore but am trying more and more vegetarian options. I had the meatball parm pizza. It is a soft flatbread pizza, the 'meatballs' are placed in small pieces on top of the sauce. The 'cheese' is swirled around on the pizza and fresh basil is added before serving. The meatballs were tasty. The cheese does not melt but had a mild flavor. The sauce was delicious and had a bit of spice to it which enlivened the other flavors. I was only able to eat half of my pizza and took the rest home, with my chocolate coconut cookie and iced tea, which was delicious. There is plenty of parking in the lot in front of the restaurant. Inside is clean and bright. Lots of table seating. The staff was friendly and helpful. Keith, who is the owner with his wife, greeted me and we chatted about his motivation to open this place. I will definitely be back as I'll be in the area again next week. read more
