    We had our pizza delivered DoorDash. It came quickly and it was hot. The pizza was really good. I like the hand toss crust, as it is crispy on the bottom. Plentiful toppings of sausage, green pepper, red onion, and mushrooms. We all enjoy here a lot. Would definitely get another pizza from the establishment.

    Great pizzas and wings. We had cheese pizza and 7 cheese pizza. Delicious. Left us wanting more. $$$. Spring break Busy-ness. We ordered to go. Staff is very friendly. Cute art.

    Oh pizza! This qualifies as a whole in the wall kinda place. Or a hidden gem! Their pizzas are thick crust but well done. The taste is amazing and original. They have one big table that can accommodate eight people, 3 small booths and 3 larger booths. A lot of people came to pick up food while we were there. Service was great! We had a party of 11 and everything came in a timely manner but most importantly it was correct. I will totally visit again.

    Medium hand tossed hamburger, pepperoni, red onion, and mushroom pizza.

    My favorite pizza place in Destin Florida!!! Every time I travel to Destin, I order Merlin's pizza (usually 3-4 times). I love the flavor of the sauce and pizza is always cooked just how I like it. I switch between thin crust and hand tossed, and they are both equally delicious! I've introduced quite a few people to this quaint little joint and they are now regulars. I've never dined-in but when I do carry out the place is always packed. 5 stars for Merlin's!

    Nothing special about the pizza..it tasted like a well baked pizza from Costco. The wings were tiny with no flavor..ranch saved the day.

    The pizza was terrible! $35 for a pizza that was like a cheap pizza from a grocery store! Probably even worse!!!!! What a disappointment.

    Do they offer gluten free pizza?

    Yes, 10 inch gluten free pizzas are available.

    Someone mentioned dairy free options. I'm not finding anything online as far as dairy free pizzas. Is that an option?

    Hello Kayla, We can substitute Daiya Dairy-free cheese on request and there is no dairy in our primary pizza sauce.

We tried the pappardelle with sausage & the chicken piccata as our mains & I loved them both. The pappardelle was soo creamy & saucy! My mouth is drooling just writing this thinking about it The piccata had plenty of capers & lemon and the chicken was very tender We also got the Caesar salad in a large which could be shared with 3 people but we had only 2 eating and one toddler who ate all the croutons ha which meant our pastas came home with us but the salad was very fresh tasting and light. I didn't taste much anchovy but salt level was nice. I also got the peartini and it was great! Very refreshing and heavy on the pear flavor. If you like a sweet drink, get this Our server was excellent - she was amazing with our son and so were all the other servers that were at nearby tables even when a few items made their way to the floor There's plenty of parking in a huge shared lot and reservations are definitely recommended. They also have some outdoor and bar seating

The music accompanies the scene of the restaurant. We arrived at 11:45AM before the lunch crowd arrived. Krisztian was our everything! He greeted us, waited on us and took care of everyone else at the same time. No one was waiting on nothing. He gave us some great recommendations and we started with the garlic rolls. Man, these are some of the best garlic rolls I've ever had. They were hot, buttery and so light all at the same time. We then ordered the Gorgonzola pizza. It came with grilled chicken and onions with no sauce. We added pesto sauce and wow. The pizza was so delicious and had so much flavor. Krisztian then brought us out the best cheesecake I've ever had period! Everything about this dessert was screaming fresh and homemade. The crust was so buttery and the cheesecake had the right amount of sweetness. Also, they have happy hour 7 days a week!!!!! Their happy hour menu is outrageous and has something for everyone. If you haven't been here, you need to get here for the best pizza and Italian food around. I suggest you make a reservation so you don't miss out. We will be back soon!!!!

Buffalo Jacks can accommodate any type of seating you need with plenty of TVs to watch any sport you're looking for. We happened to catch some Winter Olympics during our visit. Server was quick to bring waters and menus while engaging in some small talk on some of their favorite dishes. We went with the classic hot wings and fries, and were served rather quickly. Wing sauce was on point as well as the wings were cooked and not dry. Hot fries complimented the wings and by far best wings in town. Service was great and checked up on us frequently. Great experience and recommend anyone interested in a cold beverage needing some wing or pizza should definitely give Buffalo Jacks a try.

It's a great sports bar setup--each table has its own individual TV, plus there are big screens all around. Perfect place to catch a game. I went with the 12-count boneless wings in medium buffalo sauce. They came out hot, super moist, and the chicken pieces were huge--honestly enough to share between two people. Next time, I'm coming back to try the pizza... I've heard really good things.

The flavors of the food were good which is why this is 3 stars. The serving sizes were abysmal. As you can see in the pics the $17 caprese salad was literally 4 slices of tomato, 4 slices of mozzarella, and 4 single leaves of basil on some lettuce. Single slices of each, and one tomato slice was entirely hard tomato core so therefore inedible. For $17 dollars!! SEVENTEEENNNNN AMERICAN DOLLARS. The salad and two pizzas tasted good but again the size of the pizzas was so small. We could barely feed four adults with two entire pizzas. We ignorantly thought we could have salad and pizza and be super full, not so. We won't order here again.
