WHOEVER MADE OUR FOOD DESERVES EVERYTHING THEY'VE EVER WANTED IN LIFE!! I've lived and traveled all over the country and this is by far the most amazing pizza I've ever had. My bf physically bent over after the first bite and was silent for the next 20 min. I've never seen him actually emotional over food. We considered going back just to let them know how amazing the food was.There's a reason this place is the #1 pizza place in Destin. We got the cheese bread, cinnamon bread, Honey Butter Chicken pizza, and the Main Street Smoker. The cheese bread came with a large side of marinara sauce. The Honey Butter pizza came with a small bottle of honey and the Smoker pizza came with a small bottle of thick garlic sauce (not like the gross kind from fast food pizza places). I'd drive the 4 hours back for this food alone. read more

Best pizza in destin. Had a pepperoni, mushroom, black olive, ricotta. Top notch. Regardless of how busy they are, they have it done in reasonable time and it comes out perfect. read more

Not a bad place for some local pizza. The wings were so so but the thin crust pizza was yummy!

The honey butter chicken pizza is literally the best pizza I have ever had. I think I had a religious experience while eating it. Whoever made my pizza needs to go in the hall of fame for pizza making. Also, the delivery driver was the kindest person ever. 10/10 doctors would recommend you eat Merlins. read more

Pizza was great! I got their version of a Meat Lovers. It did need a little more cheese and the beef was more like cut up brisket or something, but flavor was good! read more

The food is great and normally the staff is very friendly. They can get super busy. For ambiance, we never eat there because it's very small and usually crowded inside. The pizza is our favorite in Destin! read more

I ordered online and picked up at the restaurant 15 mins later. It was pretty quick and easy so that was great. The pizzas were delicious. I got the Hawaiian Luau and thin crust cheese pizza. read more

Really has gone down. Salad was good but pizza was horrible. Service good and not a long wait.

This place was a vacation find while staying nearby. We ordered takeout, though they have about 8 booths to dine in. We ordered the blooming meatball appetizer, pepperoni and cheese pizzas plus a salad. The hand toss crust was very good. Both pizzas were a hit. Small pizzas can feed two people, three kids. If you're in Destin and craving pizza, merlins is a good choice. Also, there is a beer/wine store next door. read more

Best pizza EVER. Service great. We had the Southern Sweet Heat and it was fabulous. We will definitely return again and again.

Great pizza for take out if you don't want to eat out. We ordered thin and hand tossed. The hand tossed cheese was a hit. Ordered the Main Street smoker which was a little too adventurous as I didn't care for the tangy BBQ sauce. Will order more traditional next time. Thin crust was as good as hand tossed. Eating in looked crowded by the people waiting to pickup their take out therefore I recommend takeout or delivery. read more

Wow! The food and staff were amazing.. Ethan was our waiter and he was great!! Definitely stop by and grab something to eat. We had a pepperoni and meatball pizza. It was so yummy. read more

Great local pizza shop. Pizza was delicious & delivery was quick! They have gluten free and dairy free pizza options, which we tried and it was so good!! Would absolutely recommend! read more

Sooo, we've been here twice in 4 days so I think we like it :) Pictured is the buffalo wing pizza with a zesty ranch sauce, just the right amount of buffalo sauce, and their smoked bacon. It's perfectly balanced with the tender chicken that melts in your mouth and could be its own dish. The crust is tender with billowy layers and crisp finish on the outside. We've got one day left...might be a good day for Merlin's, eh? read more

TLDR: Best pizza, best service. Worth every penny, I can't remember the guys name who served us but he was PHENOMENAL and attentive. I'm not from Florida but he went out of his way to make sure my wife and I felt right at home. Pizza was delicious I ate til I got a belly ache. The Jalopeno garlic cheese bread was mouth wateringly delicious. read more

Great pizza, but don't order through grub hub. Told there's an issue through the app that causes order entry errors. Merlin's helped out and made our pizza in 20 mins but it never arrive via grub hub like it was supposed to. Wife had to travel up there and get our pizza. But staff was amazing and pizza was delicious. read more

So Landshark moved to Niceville to save 10 grand a month in rent (but didn't bother to decrease their prices). Vinnie's stopped proofing their dough and are now basically thin crust. So congratulations Merlin's for being the last good pizza place around. Try their cheese bread. It's a lot like a thicker Detroit style pizza or similar loaded with cheese. read more

The Pizza is such cheap quality, there is very little sauce and the Cheese tastes like string mesh.

Never been here, seen it tons of times driving by finally decided to stop for lunch & I'm very happy i did! I got 2 pizzas in one half/half meats & seafood pizza & it was everything i wanted!!!! read more

I'm so disappointed! We're here in Destin on vacation, because if I was a local resident I'm sure my family would eat in or order for delivery once a week! The dough is tender and tasty, as is their sauce pepperoni and toppings. We were here a week and ordered in twice! Do yourself a favor and give them a try!! read more

Terribly unorganized. Was told the next table was ours small party of 4. They gave the table to another group. Decided to eat elsewhere. Will not be back. Get your crap together!!!!! read more

This was our first visit to Merlin's. We found them searching online for somewhere unique to eat in Destin. Our server Brianna was excellent and helped us make choices on what to eat. We did order a pizza that she had never had and we gave her a piece to enjoy. She too said it was really good and would recommend it to customers in the future! This will be a place to not miss on our next trip to Destin!! My new favorite pizza place in the area! read more

Voted best pizza in Destin, so we decided to give it a go and ordered for pick-up. **Note: Merlin's does NOT have personal-size, so order accordingly. I got their 10" Hawaiian Luau with thin crust, and it was very good. My Hawaiian had a good spread of cubbed ham and plenty of bacon; also liked the taste of their crust. I did try a piece of Merlin's Seafood Deluxe 'za, and it was really good - flavors from the crab and shrimp both were noticeable without being overpowering, and anything alfredo-based always peaks my interest. Brant, the young dude running the front of house was nice and polite. When I showed him the Yelp deal for two free soft drinks, he gladly accepted. read more

We almost didn't order from here but it was too convenient to our condo. We ended up really enjoying our pizzas. We had a cheese and the Greek. Service was super friendly, good vibes, and consistent. I liked being able to order online. If you like Greek or just enjoy spinach on your pizza you have to try the Greek pizza. It was so fresh and light. Definitely a place we would order from again. read more

One of my friends ordered the seafood pizza, I tasted it and was blown away. I ordered the same exact pizza and was so disappointed and very unimpressed. When I picked a slice up to eat all the toppings slide off. I understand there is Alfredo sauce on the pizza but it was so much you couldn't even pick it up without everything sliding off. Once I started to chew it I realized it was undercooked. I pulled out nothing but raw dough from my mouth. I wish they would have rejected my order instead of bringing me undercooked over sauced pizza. $38 bucks gone down the drained. read more

I'm trying to figure out how this place has been so well reviewed. I ordered the "Pepperoni Explosion". I guess the explosion was a bottle of cooking oil on the pizza? The funniest most ironic thing I have ever read on a pizza box. "Life is too short to eat corporate pizza" ... well I'm sure I'll live a heck of a lot longer eating those pizzas than these! Get dominoes or Pizza Hut... you're physician will thank you. read more

Incredible pizza and garlic cheese sticks! We ordered a supreme and a all meat pizza. It was the best pizza we have had, by far! There is normally a wait, even to pick up. We had to go in and order it to go. Again, it was well worth it! read more
