    VIP slice
    Marcella M.

    We were out one Saturday and saw this spot and decided to pick up a few slices of pizza. I'm super picky when it comes to pizza so I was skeptical. We sat down and there were plenty of other families there eating so I knew this was a popular local. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and made my food choice an easy one. I got the Gino's special which contained a perfect mix of veggies and meats. My daughter got the VIP stuffed slice which is an enclosed in pizza slice with meats and veggies inside. We got our slices and they were pretty big! Both were very tasty and filling. The pizza definitely got my approval as a picky pizza eater. I would go back for my pizza cravings. They have a nice variety of creative pizza combinations.

    Eggplant Parmesan and Chicken Parmesan

    The atmosphere at Gino's is so warm and inviting. From the moment we walked in, we were immediately greeted and sat. The staff is so friendly and the service was amazing. We started off with the Garlic Bread With Cheese, which was so yummy and cheesy. For my main I got the Eggplant Parm, which was a huge portion with perfectly crispy eggplant. My husband got the Chicken Parm, which he enjoyed. We finished with a slice of the Carrot Cake, which was a bit dry but had great flavor. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and I look forward to returning.

    Gino's is located in Oviedo in a shopping venter along Alafaya, parking is plenty in the area. I had walked over her from a neighboring tire shop to grab a bite for lunch while waiting. It was a weekend early lunchtime and I was seated right away. I ordered a special they had on the board as I walked up. It was a shrimp & Penne dish and also receive a soup. The waitress was friendly and provided her recommendations when I asked. THe meal came in a reasonable time and it was pretty tasty. The dish was sizable and was more than i could consume in a sitting, so I boxed it up and took some home. Because I arrived early for lunch the restaurant was not busy and the atmospheres was pretty quite. I can image during a busy hour that would be different given the space. This was a good meal and I would definitely try Ginos again in the future.

    Creamy Shrimp Pasta

    First time eating here was great! It's a shame it wasn't busy for a Friday night but maybe this is more of a mid-week place to eat. Upon entering it smelled exactly what we had hoped for in an Italian/pizzeria and we were immediately glad to be there. We were greeted and seated promptly with drink orders underway. Pleasantly surprised by the beer and wine prices as they seemed more affordable than most places (under $5 for a Stella?!? Amazing). Unfortunately the Shock Top my husband ordered wasn't served with an orange slice and we had asked about it but they either didn't have it or our server forgot - he was fairly new to the job but was very attentive otherwise. Either way Not a deal breaker. I opted for Gino's "Famous" Stromboli (HALF!) with pepperoni and added ricotta and my husband got the Creamy Shrimp Pasta special with fettuccine noodles. We were both really impressed with our selections. The marinara sauce served with the Stromboli was perfect!! Not too tomato-y and not too sweet either. Oh and I must add the crispy-ness of the crust for the Stromboli against the creamy mozzarella and ricotta was everything I hoped for. I should add I ordered the "half portion" which was more than enough for 1 person - I actually could only finish half of the "half"!! Moving on, My husbands pasta was so flavorful! The pasta was a white Alfredo-like base and had bacon and created this wonderful creamy, salty sauce for the pasta. It was really an excellent value. It came with a side salad (or soup if that's more your speed) and warm, fresh French bread. The French bread was really a wonderful starter and wildly different from like garlic knots or bread that often served at similar establishments. They do have those on the menu but we had not tried them out. Our server, Stone, was excellent and knowledge. Overall very pleased with our experience and the value. Gino's - we will be back!

    The check

    So I'm torn because I loved this place before they expanded and then they went downhill. We have had this pizza at our parties for years and always got compliments then came the renovations and expansion. While I love the new space and outdoor seating and dog friendliness we had a less than Stellar dining experience the one time we chose to eat there but chalked it up to an off day. We had good service but the food was just meh. We have ordered takeout since then but have not returned to dine there. Today we went and while I wasn't very hungry it was nice to sit outside. The waitress was great and the gelato was yummy and the beer special was a nice surprise. However the thing that soured my mood was when the bill came and I got charged $4 for extra dressing with no warning. A whole bottle costs that much so I truly did find this absurd.

    Very nice atmosphere. perfect temperature for a hot day. Claim to fame - everything is made in house. Excellent sub. I would suggest a pickle and/or chips for the meal. Free drink included. $9

I also enjoyed the walk through of the menu and the different dishes/pizza ordered. My friend and I started with the Burrata. It was phenomenal. I loved the flavor of the balsamic glaze. The rosemary focaccia bread was superb. For pizzas we decided upon the Star Beckham and the Marco. I really enjoyed the star shaped pizza. The triangle crust was packed with a good amount of ricotta cheese. There was lots of toppings and some of the freshest ingredient pizza I've ever had. The Marco pizza was good getting to try the stracciatella cheese for the first time. The restaurant is really cute. Its an intimate dining room area and you can see into the kitchen seeing the pizzas cooking. I had a great time here and a great meal.

They ferment their dough for 72 hours before serving. Most of their pizza menu is different from what passes for pizza in the US today, but it's nothing you haven't seen if you're a true pizza lover who appreciates authentic pies. You will find arugula, burrata, calabrese, and more here. If you can't find a pizza on the menu that ticks all your boxes, you can also make your own. In particular, for my ricotta lovers, I must insist you try their "star" pizzas where they pinch around the pizza edge to make little ricotta pouches. Think stuffed crust pizza only much, much better! The inside of the restaurant is nice, but definitely casual. Service was great. They do offer takeout and work with the DoorDash types but we found this pizza doesn't travel as well since it's so thin and chills quickly. Eat in if you can. The prices here are a bit higher than I would expect, especially since the toppings are a bit on the skimpy side, but that's really my only complaint. Definitely try this place out when you're craving REAL pizza!

Places like Tikka Shack are one of the places that can provide that education. Introducing Indian flavors in familiar dishes is a good way to transform picky eaters into true gormands. I wanted a quick, delicious dinner one evening before heading out on a road trip the next day. So I swung by to see what this recent move-in had to offer sleepy little Oviedo. Ambiance was very, well, Oviedo. A giant mural adorned the wall. Chickens, the Welcome sign, even a sandhill crane. It was very pretty. Service was superb. There was a nice cashier lady who gave off a owner or manager aura. We talked through the menu together and came up with a couple of delicious options for me to order. Option one was the Tikka Chicken Pizza (Tikka Sauce, garlic, fresh mozzarella, red onions, tomatoes on a Naan crust topped with cilantro). This thing was a lot of fun! A nice, thin, crispy crust, and mozz. But accompanied by a delicious tikka sauce. A little freshness from the onions and the tomatoes, and you have a very nice pie here. Something like that pizza is something a kid would try, or a subdued palate adult would try, and act as a gateway dish that would get them deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole that is the best cuisine on the planet. I love it. I also had a curry, which was nice. Very flavorful. I was expecting a little bland, but no, lots of good spice and flavor. Accompanied with a proper amount of basmati rice. Yummy. And I accented the whole meal with a cheesey, garlicky naan. Which is probably universally accepted as the best bread on the planet. Love that naan. Wash it all down with a mango lassi, and this place knocked my socks off. I don't know what brought them here to Oviedo, but I sure am glad they came. It's nice knowing that I have a fast-casual Indian place right down the road. Will definitely be back.

    Pros: Love the Oviedo location. Oviedo food has been so…read moreboring for so long, but this place definitely fulfills a need. Food was delicious. Loved the fusion of Indian flavors with more American accessible foods like pizza. Cons: No cons whatsoever. Tips: Get a pizza, get an extra side of rice for your curry, and get all the naan you can afford. So delicious.

    Mister 01 Extraordinary Pizza is extraordinary for a reason. Seriously, this place cleared my…read moreexpectations. I had heard about them for about two years prior to actually going. It was one of those places, where it's on my list but I think I just never ended up going. That is until recently to the Lake Mary location. Mister 01 has many, many locations all over Florida. So the history is that a chef who was raised in Southern Italy came to Florida and set up his first shop in Miami. It was so popular that they've expanded to Georgia, North Carolina, and even Texas. Their claim to fame is they have some specialized pizzas where the crust is folded and the whole pie kind of resembles a star. They even have a special pizza that has coffee on it, not that it's the one I got but I think it's very unique. We got there on a Friday night and it was very busy. It was about a 20-30 minute wait. Conveniently, they have a trail right behind the building, so we walked a part of it while waiting and it was a nice walk at sunset. It's really fun to be seated and enjoy as you can see the cooking and baking process while getting a slightly high end dining experience. Not that it was that expensive, but it felt slightly more elevated than a Domino's. I got the Star Luca. The Star Luca is a star shaped pizza with ricotta, mozzarella, tomato sauce, spicy salami Calabrese, and basil. The 20 inch costs $20.99. My rating for this one is a 9.5/10. I mean it was insanely delicious. They bring a spicy olive oil to the table, which I loved and used. The crust is so cool that it's filled with ricotta. So it feels like you got the best parts of a calzone and a pizza into one, if I am being honest. I also got a flute of Prosecco Clara C', which was a sparkling white wine with notes of apple. It was good, although a bit pricey at $14.95 a glass. For dessert, we tried the Nutella banana calzone, which was recommended by our waiter. This was an 8/10. It was really good and sweet. I liked that they use their own fermented dough, which is another cool note. My overall rating of this place is a 9/10. I mean the food is really really good. There is a clear reason for how busy it is. It's a step up from your casual pizza joint, but I enjoyed it.

    I went to Mister 01 on a Saturday night around 6 and it was packed. I asked the hostess how long…read morethe wait was and she didn't know. We put our name down anyways, and it was actually a very quick wait. We had a table about 10 minutes later. Our server was great. He was busy, but took time to pass by our table to let us know he'd be right over. When we were seated, there was already water on the table, which was appreciated. I ordered the Marco and my friend ordered the star Beckham. Both were delicious, light and the crust was very thin and crunchy. For dessert, we ordered the Nutella banana calzone and it was gooey, warm and the perfect sweet treat. Despite how busy it was, we were only there for about an hour. The food and service were both excellent. This is some of my favorite pizza in Orlando and I'll be back soon!

The crust was perfectly crispy, which is exactly how I like it, and the pizza had great flavor. Service was quick, and we got our pizza faster than I expected.

I also loved the decor, especially the real plants hanging along the walls. It gave the place a cool, relaxed feel and made the space stand out.

    Stopped by Lazy Moon Pizza and decided to sample a couple of their enormous slices along with a…read moresmall Greek salad. If you've never been, "slice" is a bit of an understatement here. These things are huge, thin crusted, and unless you possess some serious pizza folding skills, best approached with a fork and knife. First up was Jason's Mom's Slice (JMS): tomato sauce, chicken, sauteed mushrooms, caramelized onions, tomatoes, ranch, Jason's Mom's sauce, and mozzarella. Flavor wise, this was my favorite of the two. The caramelized onions were especially good, although I wish they had been distributed a little more evenly across the slice. My only real issue was the crust had quite a bit of sag. I suspect the large tomato slices placed directly on the crust released moisture as they cooked, making an already thin crust difficult to support. Next was the Meaty McMeatface Slice (MMS), loaded with tomato sauce, birria beef, ground beef, pepperoni, bacon, and mozzarella. They aren't kidding about the "meaty" part. The birria was the star and added a nice depth of flavor, but overall I found this slice a little dry. A side of Jason's Mom's sauce would probably have been the perfect companion, although it comes with an additional $1.50 charge. I also ordered the small Greek salad, which was anything but small. It came loaded with perfectly ripe tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, black olives, fetta and pepperoncini. The menu lists romaine lettuce, but what I received looked and tasted more like escarole or frisee, with a noticeable bitterness. I'm not certain what the green actually was, but it definitely didn't taste like romaine. The menu also mentions roasted red peppers, though I couldn't find any in my portion. I liked the dressing, but the salad could have used a little seasoning. I didn't see salt anywhere around the bar where I was sitting. Maybe there was some near the drink station, but apparently, I wasn't motivated enough to launch a salt expedition. The ordering process is straightforward. Walk in, order from the counter underneath the overhead menus, grab your drink, and find a seat. I asked for water and was initially handed a small plastic cup for the self-serve station. I asked if I could get a cold beer pint glass instead, and they happily accommodated the request. Thank you! A small gesture, but one I appreciated. There is plenty of seating, although the bar stools where I sat felt sufficiently rickety to make me question their structural integrity every time I shifted my weight. Total damage was about $37 including a 20% tip. To be fair, the portions are substantial. I boxed up leftover pizza and salad and finished them for breakfast the following morning, so there was certainly plenty of food. Still, for two slices and a small salad at a counter service pizza joint, the final tab felt a bit steep. Overall, some very good flavors and gigantic portions with a few execution and value issues. Jason's Mom won this round, although next time I might ask her to go a little easier on the tomatoes. And yes, giant cold pizza for breakfast remains one of life's underrated pleasures.
