    Egg plant hot sub

    Update: Came back about a month later and I'm glad I did -- much better experience this time around! The Caesar salad was fresh and perfectly dressed (not swimming in dressing like before), and the Margherita pizza was beautifully made with a great char on the crust. The staff here has always been a highlight -- consistently warm and welcoming every visit. If you had a mixed experience before, give them another shot. They seem to have really hit their stride!

    I had such a great experience at Grotta Azzurra in downtown DeLand. The fettuccine Alfredo was absolutely delicious...rich, creamy, and a very generous portion. The eggplant lasagna was just as impressive, with the perfect combination of flavors and a ricotta that really stood out. Big fan. The service was excellent from start to finish, and the restaurant itself felt very clean and welcoming. I also loved the music...it really added to the overall atmosphere. We'll definitely be back! Can't wait to try the pizza.

    Food is great! It was still soft opening so working through some kinks but overall we really enjoyed the atmosphere and meals!

    Went on a sunday and they were pretty busy. Would definitely give it more time so they can be staffed better. Bartender was our server and service wasn't great at all since he was handling various things at once. Food was okay, fettuccine alfredo was missing some flavor. The other lemon based plate was great and flavored. Would definitely come back and give the pizza a try!

The ambiance is a very attractive comfortable rustic. The food is spectacular! The birthday girl had lasagna after a gazillion wonderful appetizers! And tiramisu for dessert! A happier person you have never met! The table had pasta dishes, pizza, both colors of sangria and a variety of desserts. All to our delight. Only 2 of the 8 of us were from Deland but everyone agreed that we're returning to Urban Brick for our next celebration in May! My advice: Go often. Taste every item on the menu. Take your friends & relations. Hire a personal trainer & move to Deland! Urban Brick is worth it!

The Diavola had a nice kick and felt a little adventurous in a good way. The Pepperoni was solid and reliable, exactly what you expect. Now the calzone... not for me. I was expecting a classic cheese-forward situation, but this was more of a chaotic mash-up of ingredients that didn't quite come together. Felt like a pizza identity crisis folded in half. The crust is worth noting, it has that cornmeal-style texture. If you like a slightly gritty, rustic bite, you'll be into it. Overall, good flavor, just know what you're ordering. Next time, I'm sticking to the pizzas and leaving the calzone in the box.

    It had been almost eight years since our last visit, and I'm happy to report that what was very…read moregood then is still very good today. We were greeted by the owner as soon as we walked in and promptly shown to our table, where our drink orders were taken. One feature we especially appreciated was the daily Happy Hour from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m., with very reasonable prices on beer and wine. The wine list is respectable, and our selection arrived nicely chilled--always a welcome treat on a hot and humid Florida afternoon. The owner reviewed the daily specials, and after hearing the description, I was persuaded to try the Veal Marsala. My wife was looking for something a little lighter and chose the personal Selvitella Pizza (veggie). Both selections were excellent. In fact, she couldn't finish her pizza, so we brought the leftovers home. Later that evening, I heroically stepped up and finished the remaining slices, a sacrifice I made willingly and with complete satisfaction. The restaurant is conveniently located on Woodland Boulevard in the heart of downtown DeLand, where parking has never been an issue for us. There's street parking out front and several large public lots nearby, making access easy and stress-free. If you're looking for authentic Italian food, friendly service, and a comfortable dining experience, give Positano Trattoria Pizzeria a try. We highly recommend it. Enjoy!

The same sauce was used for dipping the mozzarella sticks (tasted very frozen), the calzone, and the spaghetti. My wife used most of a container of parmesean trying to help the flavor. She said the parm was even off.

    Angelina's Pizzeria in DeLand (2687 S Woodland Blvd) is my go-to spot for authentic, homemade…read moreItalian food--I've been a regular for years, and it's consistently one of the best in Volusia County. This family-owned gem has been serving up delicious pizzas, pastas, and classic Italian dishes since 1998, always with the freshest natural ingredients and that warm, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home. They're especially known for their incredible homemade pizza--thin, crispy crust that's perfectly charred, tangy sauce, and generous toppings that make every slice addictive. But the real standout is their signature white pizza: ricotta and mozzarella with olive oil, fresh garlic, and herbs (no tomato sauce), creating this creamy, garlicky, herbaceous masterpiece that's unlike anything else around. It's my personal favorite on the pizza side--simple yet so flavorful, and reviewers rave about it being the best white pizza they've ever had. When I'm in the mood for something heartier, nothing beats their veal parmigiana--my absolute personal favorite entrée. Tender, grain-fed veal pounded thin, breaded just right, topped with rich marinara and melted cheese, served over perfectly cooked pasta. It's generous, comforting, and cooked to order every time--juicy, not greasy, with that classic Italian depth of flavor that hits all the right spots. The portions are huge, and it always leaves me satisfied without feeling heavy. Beyond that, their full menu shines: fresh pastas like clams over angel hair, chicken parm, eggplant parm, calzones, antipasto salads, garlic bread, and more--all made with wholesome, high-quality ingredients. The service is friendly and efficient (they handle crowds well even when busy), the dining room is cozy and family-friendly, and you can dine in, take out, or get delivery. If you're craving real homemade Italian in DeLand--whether it's pizza perfection, standout veal parm, or any of their other classics--Angelina's Pizzeria is the place. Call them at (386) 736-6999 or check bestpizzaindeland.com for the menu. Highly recommend--you'll keep coming back, just like I do! 1computeroutlet , 1websitenow

Inside isn't all that big, and on Saturday night it was pretty full. The outdoor atmosphere was nice. We had front row seating for the live music provided by Jeff White. His talent is commendable. Great renditions of crowd-pleasing songs we love! Although we received our beverages in a timely fashion, the rest of our service was really lacking. The woman who initially took our drink order didn't introduce herself. Someone else stopped by a bit later to inquire if we needed anything, but I wasn't ready to order at that time. Apparently that was a mistake. It took some effort to finally get the first woman's attention to let her know we wanted to order food. She had a bit of an attitude when taking our order. The table next to us were clearly regulars, and she definitely preferred spending time with them. Later, we had to flag down someone else to obtain a box and the bill. Her assistance was more pleasant in comparison. Overall, it felt as though we didn't even really have a devoted server. The excellent pizza and enjoyable outdoor setting somewhat makes up for the subpar service during my visit. I would return and just hope for a better server next time.
