Such a cute Italian pizzeria! My grandparents live nearby, and this has been their favorite spot for as long as I can remember. As a family, we've been coming here for over 30 years, which makes it feel extra special every time we visit. You can't miss the red, white, and green awning out front , it's classic and welcoming. Inside is just as charming, with that cozy, neighborhood pizzeria feel. The food never disappoints. They have my favorite garlic rolls by far! The calzones, pizzas, and baked ziti are always go-to orders for us. Portions are fair, pricing is reasonable, and everything feels consistently good. The staff is always friendly, and you can tell they work as a team , everyone jumps in to help one another. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth checking out! read more

Sadly I expected Jacaranda Pizzeria to be really good... I orderEd a pie with extra toppings one of them being onions, when I tell you the pizza arrived cold and the it was little a whole onion with huge pieces of onion chunks all over the pie, we were unable to eat it... maybe going in person you have a better experience. But for me the impression I experienced was good enough to for me to say I will not be going back. read more

Entering the traditional Italian restaurant I noticed colors of terracotta, deep reds, oranges, mustard yellows, and olive greens which evoke the rich landscapes of Italy and created a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. I ordered a slice of extra crispy cheese pizza which was placed into the massive oven and ready in minutes. The slice was perfectly cooked with just enough garlic and passed the "flop test". They offer fresh daily specials in addition to the town's famous cannolis. The J Bar lounge is attached to the Italian hot spot which has live music and Saturday Karaoke nights. The bathroom is basic with a pedestal sink and clean but could use some updating and TLC. read more

After the holiday parade we choose to come here with our group. It was great. Service was amazing and attentive they opened and sat us quickly. The food came out quick too and it was delicious. The pizza was light on sauce and thin with great flavor. The garlic rolls were crispy but soft inside. One of our friends ordered a calzone and it was cheesy. Would definitely come back. read more

Took the wife on Mothers Day for Linguini & Clams which I tasted and very good, but not the Calamari I ordered so chewy couldn't even swallow it, never order that again there, other places I order, so good. I took picture of Parmesan Cheese they brought to the table, in small plastic cup. They can't afford a shaker, and red pepper jar, Garlic bottle also oregano they brought to the table were in shakers. I know it was Mother's day but service was slow? read more

What a treat! We have been looking for a new Italian joint that is not corporate, or unbelievably expensive. We hit a gold mine finding Jacaranda pizza. This place felt like a small family owned Italian restaurant, which it totally is. They delivered quick service, great food, and authentic small owned atmosphere. I look forward to enjoying my leftovers. We plan to revisit soon! read more

OKAY PIZZA BUT JUST DO TAKE-OUT We recently had lunch at Jacaranda Pizzeria Restaurant that is located at the end of a small strip mall on Broward Blvd off Pine island Road. This place has been here for years and it looks it - the restaurant was old and tired, the tables were not very clean and food was served on old plates with battered utensils. There was only one overworked waitress handling the lunch crowd (at the time around 8 tables). Soon after we sat ourselves, the waitress dropped off menus with a half dozen garlic rolls. We ordered a Caesar Salad ($10.95) and Medium 14" Cheese Pizza ($15.95 + $2.50 extra cheese). The Caesar Salad was okay and large enough for two to share. Skip the garlic rolls that were dense and hard. The classic NYC style pizza was good - foldable thin crust with hot bubbly cheese on top. If you come here, ask the pizza guy to slice your pizza in equal size slices - our pie had slices that were twice the size of the smallest slices. We would come here again but just for take-out pizza. read more

Well, being in Florida, as a New Yorker I don't really hold the food quality as high as I would if I were in New York BUT What a wonderful surprise - good food, not hoity-toity My waitress Stephanie was awesome. She knew I was in the hotel and even got me plastic utensils so I could take my leftovers home so I would not have to throw it out because it was really good. Big fan will be back. Thank you for your wonderful service and delicious food! read more

First and foremost was the extremely attentive service from Lee (name that was on receipt) . She handled our table with split checks and a three year old who is beautiful and loves attention. Most servers shy away from this challenge, but Lee jumped in with both feet. She took out the young ladies coloring books and pad and was coloring with her and drawing with her then she was able to take our orders and drink orders and get them all in in a timely manner and we were very shortly enjoying a nice meal. I had chicken Marcella my buddy had the lasagna. The young lady had a pizza and I believe the other guy had a veal dish. Overall, the food was pretty good and we would come back for the same level of quality of food, but the level of service and the level of attentiveness that she gave to our party is the driving factor on why I would go back there? Not sure who the ownership group is or who the management team is but somebody please take the time to talk to Lee and recognize the fact that somebody notices that she makes a big difference in the customer experience in that place. You can get a pizza anywhere you can get a delicious spaghetti anywhere but it's the customer service experience and the one on one that she brings is definitely what's gonna bring people back. Thank you Lee you definitely made an impression tonight read more

A few of the people that work here are passive aggressive and rude. The two neanderthals behind the pizza counter and one waitress. They know who they are. Decency and gratitude are not to be found here. These are not warm, friendly or welcoming people at this restaurant. What a bunch of D$#@S!! You seem to have a real talent for achieving 1 star reviews. Skip this place if you ever think you'll be thanked for coming. read more

The food and service has always been great. I've been going their for 40 plus years even there prices are fairly still good

I used to love Jacaranda Pizza. I picked up a pizza there tonight and it was awful - nearly inedible. It was cold, there wasn't much cheese, the spinach I had as a topping tasted like it was from a can. It was expensive and they added a charge for use of a credit card - which I know is becoming the norm but annoys me because the pizza tasted so bad! read more

The owner of this restaurant just kicked me in my family out for having a service dog. I explained that I have a doctors note, I quoted the Americans with disabilities act, and he still said that this is not a barnyard and animals are not allowed. He called the police on me, and the police explained to him that I was within my right. I looked him in the eyes and I will never shop there again. Very disappointing-- will definitely be following up legally read more

Average pizza, it was decent but very small. This is my second time here and it's very standard nothing to run too. 7.3

Been going here for years and years and years. Always good. And funny guys working the over.

One of the worst pizzas ever! NO salt or taste on pizza same on garlic rolls! What a disappointment time to revisit whoever is in charge of taste read more

Called three times during business hours...no answer... if you don't want business whilenyour hours specify that you're open then just answer and say no more orders ... the quality is great when you get it ..:but they're nonchalant attitude about pickup/online orders is atrocious ... I don't need your food but would like to order it because it's enjoyable... DONT IGNORE YOUR PATRONS read more

Stopped bye for the first time for a few slices of Pizza. The slices very Very neat looking. They use high quality Mozzarella cheese. Now for the bad news, could not taste any sauce, very dry tasting. Like eating a slice of cheese! The pizza maker needs to add more sauce and less cheese! Why would that be so hard to do? read more

In Plantation everyone talks about this place constantly. Ordered a medium and a large. It wasn't expensive, but it was priced on the "this better be amazing" side and it fell short. Not sure what the hype is about, but we had our one and done experience. The pizza was dry and just not good. read more

Great place for authentic Italian. Hidden gem in plantation. Pistachio cake was to die for!!

I dont understand the hype. Pizza was ok, got it right out of the oven. Also got the chicken parm sub, which was mehh. Wouldnt go out of my way for this place, nothing special. The staff was nice though read more

First of all, our server, Lilly, was amazing. She was helpful and there when you needed something. The soup was fresh and amazing. The dinners were ok. Lasagna was cold in the middle which was disappointing. Great presentation though and a big portion. The pasta dish was good although a little too much pasta water still in the bowl. Great garlic breads. Overall an average experience with the food and above average for the service. read more

Hadn't been here in years . Always thought the prices were fair , food was above average and portions generous . Always hated the crusty guy who answered the phone because you felt like you were bothering him. Well, now they have a lovely , pleasant young lady taking the phone orders. What a nice surprise. Other than that , prices have jumped astronomically , portions are quite a bit smaller , garlic rolls were day old at best and salad had almost as much browned lettuce as it did green. Dressing was definitely watered down. The Chicken Marsala , albeit a very small portion for $18.95, was tasty. Sad to see higher prices AND corner cutting read more

The owner?? Was very nice but for me i just didn't like the pizza. Probably personal preference. There were lots of people coming in. Soo try it for urself and see. read more

Loved this place! Went last night with my wife just to try it out, and both the food and service were great! The portions are pretty large so we brought a LOT home for leftovers. Will absolutely be back. read more

I'm giving it a 4 because overall I had fun, and we had the best waitress, it's a family style older Italian restaurant. Portions are massive! Quality is good, not wow. Only complaint I have is the cheese they use is very salty but overall I enjoyed it and would go back to try other foods. I had the lasagna and it's not your usual square lasagna. Husband has pasta with seafood and it was for two people. Garlic bread is the bomb!!! read more

I have seen this place a zillion times since I was a teen in the 90s, and I never ate there. Now I know why. My father, mother, grandmother, sister, brother, sister in law, niece and nephew and myself went for dinner on a Monday night. There were maybe 2 other parties in the restaurant. We were seated and the server took our beverage orders and scampered off to fill them. When she came back we were ready to order: we got 3 pizzas total, a tuna salad for grandma and some chicken fingers for the kids. We were told that they were "really busy with takeout orders." That's nice, what does that have to do with us? Apparently what that means is that we had to wait almost 60 minutes for our pizzas. Lucky for the kids and my grandmother their food came out within 15 min. The salad was really sad- just some lettuce, tomato, onion and tuna on it. Not worth the price at all. Unsure why they couldn't sandwich our order in before the take out orders. I did see there were about 5 slips hanging when we entered the building, but I counted about 12 people come and go with take out orders. The server did offer an apology but words don't really mean much when the action isn't there. On top of it, the pizzas were so bland, that I actually got mad about it. The sauce was minimal and only tasted like tomatoes- no garlic, onion, basil, nothing was detected by myself or my sister. The crust was tough and too chewy, maybe it was kneaded too much? My parents ate their food and didn't complain but I could see that they were disappointed, especially after such a long wait. I definitely can't see me ever going back here again. read more

My favorite pizza place in the area by far!! The closest to New York pizza you can find. All of the food is so good, you can't help but want to just order everything! Such a homey feel inside and the owners are so nice and welcoming. I used to come as a kid with my family and still come! Everyone falls in love once they eat here. read more

I love this pizza so much! I believe $6 for 2 slices. Very hot and cheesy. I loved the crust also. It took about 10 minutes to be ready on my break. Can't wait to go back again! read more

My boyfriend and I have been going here for awhile. I was surprised about the reviews. I am sorry you Yelpers did not have a great experience or did not like the food. However, I enjoy this place a lot. All the waitress and waiters are friendly. There is this waitress who always treats my boyfriend and I so nicely. As a matter of fact, as we left she told one of the cookers "Those two are sweet customer" which I was flattered. Anyways, the Linguine & Clams White Sauce is my favorite. The pasta is cooked just right. My boyfriend got his Chicken & Broccoli, he was satisfied with his meal for sure. As for the Cheese Pizza, that was for my boyfriend's dad. 2 Cheese Pizza was leftover, but I assure you the next day it will be gone! Overall, I love Jacaranda. The experience is great as well as there delicious dishes ! Oh, can't forget, they have great Cannolis! read more

Best Italian food I've had in Florida. Just like my grandma made. Service was great. The waitress was so friendly. Try it. I know you will go back again. read more

Friday night we ordered to go from here, called in for a large pizza and chicken francaise. The guy on the phone gave me a number and said 15 minutes. Went in 15 minutes and it was ready and DELISH. The sauce was not very thick but it was tasty, and the pizza was great. It was a margherita pizza, but they also used ricotta cheese. Super tasty but my daughter isn't a fan of ricotta, so we decided to try it without next time.... Next time came really soon... Saturday night. We actually dined in and Lina took care of us. We had the chicken marsala (thin but tasty sauce again) and the pizza, but this time, no ricotta. The service was quick and efficient and the food again was really good. I am glad we found a great Italian restaurant nearby. I will order all our pizza from there in the future! read more

The décor is nothing special but the food is good. We had chicken parmesan dinners and pepperoni pizza, and we were satisfied with both the portion sizes and the taste. We started with the ubiquitous garlic rolls that all Italian restaurants offer. They were fresh and doughy, which we enjoyed. And not overly garlicy. The salads were standard fare and the pasta fagioli soup seemed more like a minestrone soup, but it was flavorful. The sauce on the chicken parms & the accompanying sides of pasta was rich and flavorful. The chicken was tender, and we had enough left over for another whole meal. Since Jacaranda is known for their pizza, we had to try it. We weren't disappointed. Nice chewy crust. We also appreciated that they offer a 10 inch "baby" size pizza, which was just the right size. Overall, this place is best described as Italian "comfort food". Tasty, satisfying, and a good value. read more

Excellent pizza. Friendly staff. Very family oriented. Highly recommend. Reminds me of NY.

We don't know what's changed, but we've gone to Jacaranda pizza since it opened over forty years ago.. Recently, our past three orders, two takeout, one in house dining were disappointing. The pizzas were not their usual perfection. One takeout pizza was so uncooked, we put it in the oven at home.......Barely any sauce and skimpy cheese. In House dining the staff is wonderful, always attentive. However, pickup at the counter staff members are usually abrupt and have an attitude like they're doing you a favor. They don't even greet you, only ask for your number. After visiting for all these years, we don't know if we should give it another try????? Although the restaurant isn't updated, you could always count on getting a delicious pizza, antipasto or meal. What's different over the past three months? read more

Had the lunch Chicken Parm, the place was old school pizzeria that I loved. A good size chicken breast, in a really good (sweeter than most) sauce for $9. I will definitely be returning! read more

We got the pizza and I had the fagioli, it was fine, not the best, but did the job. The pizza is fine too, though nothing I'd go out of my way for. They are really nice and friendly in there, which is a plus. read more
