Their menu is pretty large and they cook their items in the coal fire pizza oven. I like that since it gives it that crispy crunchy pizza. Their location is inside Plant Street which has a ton of food places. The best thing about Plant Street is that everyone can get what they want. There are tables throughout Plant Street and Michael's Ali Coal Fire has a few bar seats at their location as well. They specialize in pizza but do have additional options such as stromboli's, wings, and sandwiches. There are some specialty pizzas on their menu but you can also create your own, which is what we did. Next time we will probably go with a specialty pizza just to try it out, but we went with pepperoni and bacon. It was also topped with a little basil. The bacon was pretty much nonexistent but it did have a slight saltiness to it, so I'm sure it was there. My wife loves bacon on her pizza so she definitely wished there was more of it. Overall it was a great pizza. We actually ordered it to take home since we had already had some food at Plant Street. However, it was good and hot and fresh, we ate the entire thing. The pizza is not overall large, I think about 6-7 slices. We shared since we were trying a lot of things. The crust was also really crispy, and not overly charred as sometimes coal fire pizzas can get. Another item we wanted to try but were too full, was the Cheesy Bread which has Roasted Garlic Oil fired with Prosciutto, Mozzarella, Provolone & Gorgonzola. We saw someone else get it and it really looked delicious, very cheesy and really good. The team who works here is also really nice. They were friendly, let us take our time, offered to answer any questions and were just nice. They had a little game going and would ask a question as you paid. They were keeping track of answers. Overall, this is a great spot. I would come back anytime we felt like a pizza. Very great food! ACES!

They actually have a really large menu for a small spot. They are closer to Crooked Can. There are some seats at their spot (similar to bar seats), but most people get their food to go and eat around Plant Street. Plant Street is a market that has tons of permanent vendors, most of which are food. This spot is truly Italian specializing in pizza but there are other options as well. Some of those options include stromboli's, wings, and sandwiches. They have a few different specialty pizza selections but then you can also create your own. We like to create our own but all their specialty pizzas sounded absolutely delicious. Next time, I think we will pick one of the specialty ones. We went with just pepperoni and bacon. The bacon was hardly present but did give a nice saltiness to the pizza. The pizza was on the thinner side which I love, it was crispy on the edges and just a really great pizza. We actually ordered it with the intention of taking it home for the next day, but it was so good, we ended up eating it all that night. Something we wanted but we were so full from other food options at Plant Street was the CHEESY BREAD which has Roasted Garlic Oil fired with Prosciutto, Mozzarella, Provolone & Gorgonzola. This is something we will for sure be getting next time. It sounded so great! For pizza we will be getting the BUFFALO CHICKEN which is Hot Wing Sauce Base, Roasted Chicken, Gorgonzola, Provolone, Mozzarella...Finished with Celery. Their options are just really great. The servers were super friendly as well. They will take your phone number and text you when its ready. This way you can go walk around, grab a table, grab a beer from Crooked Can and wait for your food. This is definitely a spot you need to try out when you are at Plant Street! Great food, great employees and a fun atmosphere.

I was impressed the first time, and returned to try again.... Was it a fluke? No!! Whomever is making this crust is a pizza whisperer. It's thin and just crispy enough. When you bite in, the crust is just like the french horn in a symphony orchestra. It's there and its perfect, but it lays back and lets you taste the wonderful toppings first and foremost. Now, depending on your choices for toppings, they are all fresh, good quality, and flavor packed. ( we built one with sausage pepperoni, mushroom, black olive, and jalapeño. It was perfect. Now, the additional toppings are a little pricey when building your own.... A cost soon forgotten as you get it just like you want it. Had a beer, had a great pizza, sat outside on this early summer night. In short, highly recommend it.

Was eager to try this pizza as I'd heard many positive things…read more Ordered online for pickup. Said it would be ready in 15 minutes. The parking lot is fairly small, people parked poorly, so the limited spaces were even fewer. They do have another parking lot on the other side of the theater, but for pickup only, who wants to carry your food across another parking lot and across the side street? Anyway, they were busy with people waiting. I finally asked the women at the counter if my pizza was ready. It was! I paid online when I ordered but the sign said cash discount, which I missed out on by ordering online (I recommend calling if you want to get that discount). I ordered a make your own ham, pineapple and green olives. The pizza was good, but the toppings were skimpy. Actually they used chunk pineapple instead of tidbits or crushed and half olives instead of chopped. So if they cut the toppings smaller and could spread them out a bit it wouldn't seem so skimpy ( this seems so obvious to me- what an easy solution). The edge crust was good but the base was incredibly thin. Overall, big disappointment and with other good options around, I won't be back.

The red sauce was awesome and I just kept dipping the garlic bread into it with every bite. We also ordered a pizza to share. There was a good amount of toppings including pepperoni, sausage, and veggies. It was really great pizza and cooked perfectly. I can't wait to come back when I'm back in the Mount Dora area.

We did get new sandwiches after having to drive all the way back to the restaurant and got told that if you don't ask for it they don't automatically give it even if it's how it comes. Also don't try calling to get a competent person on the phone because you can say over and over that it was an in person order and they'll keep trying to tell you that when you order online, you have to select lettuce and tomato but in reality when you order online, the lettuce and tomato are already selected and you only deselect them if you don't want them because it's a BLT and it comes with lettuce and tomato everywhere else in the universe. So overall, if they shouldn't have a BLT on the menu if you have to ask for the L T. That's just bacon and bread. (The two stars instead of one is because we got replacement sandwiches that ACTUALLY had lettuce and tomato)

My husband and I ordered takeout from Giovanni's Pizza and it completely hit the spot…read more The Vibe: Located in a strip mall next to Publix, this place is easy to miss--but definitely worth stopping in. The restaurant itself was very clean, and the staff were genuinely friendly when we picked up our order. Timing: Our order was ready in about 20 minutes, which was perfect for a quick and easy dinner. What We Ordered: * Garlic Knots * Half Cheese / Half Pepperoni Pizza The Food: Let's just say... I was way too excited to eat to take photos before digging in... The pizza is a solid New York-style pie--great crust, flavorful sauce, and the perfect cheese ratio. Crispy, cheesy, and done right. The garlic knots were just as good--fluffy, well-seasoned, and packed with flavor. Soft inside, perfectly garlicky outside. Overall: Everything about this meal was exactly what we were hoping for. Simple, delicious, and satisfying. This has officially become our new go-to spot for pizza takeout. We'll definitely be back--and next time, we'll have to dine in and check out the full experience. Pro tip: Don't skip the garlic knots--they're a must.

Decided to just eat the meat, cheese and toppings instead (because the bread was very tough to chew). Could not pry the cheese away from the bread because of the mayo. Finally, the meat consisted of a few slices of ham, a little pepperoni and TWO shaved pieces of salami (that could not have been genoa because of the taste). All in all, not a good value at all - taste, quantity or price - take your pick.
