Absolutely great tasting pizza, high quality toppings and fresh dough that makes this pizza different from the typical chains. This place gets busy BUT instead of over taking too many orders, they stop when they are at capacity so you're not fooled by ordering and it taking 4 times longer than promised. Simply wait a bit when they catch up and the online site will allow your order. read more

Excellent!!! For some reason it can be difficult to find really good pizza, but not here. Thin crust is crispy, delicious, and perfect...think back to that favorite pizza place in high school or college and this is it! Garlic bread is a feast of its own. The cokes are super sweet with a little extra syrup. You have to get your pizza fix from here. read more

Stopped in at Merlin's based on a Prior Yelp Rating of 4.5 - Ordered the Garlic Shrimp pizza - it was fantastic- our party also had the Chicken barbecue- comments were made that it was the best she has had in 10 years. Suffice it to say - Stop in - I doubt you are disappointed read more

Merlins Pizza - Garlic Shrip - Pizza Near Me - Destin, Florida

Wow, the pizza was maybe the best pizza I have ever had. The crust was so fluffy and light. The 7 cheese pizza was the best. I got a caprese pizza with the creamy garlic swirlizer. My husband got the Main Street Smoker pizza with a barbecue swirlizer. Everyone agreed it was probably the best pizza we have ever had. read more

Merlins Pizza - Greek and Tuscan chicken Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Destin, Florida

Amazing pizza! Wonderful service, Julianne was our server, she was super sweet and attentive. Will come back again!

Pizza was so much better than any Domino's, Pizza Hut chains. We ordered 2 pizzas: Pepperoni and Hawaiian and made a note requesting extra ranch. Everyone was happy with their hand toss pizza choice with ranch. Glad we got a chance to try their pizza before heading home from vacation. We ordered online which was quick and easy. Delivery was exactly as confirmation estimated and the driver delivered to our Airbnb location without any issues. He even went as far as coming to our building entrance. We definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a quick and easy lunch/dinner option for your family! read more

Y'all. This place is so good! Our last night of vacation we wanted something easy, so we ordered through DoorDash and got the pizza with pepperoni, sausage, mushroom, peppers and wings. Both items were sooooo good. Will be going back next time I'm in town. read more

Merlins Pizza - Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Destin, Florida

This pizza place is worth a visit. Avoid the rush otherwise it's a long wait, very popular but understandably so. The inside is cramped. We do take out. Thin crust pizza is my favorite. Buffalo chicken specifically is solid. Tried the meatball appetizer, delicious. Probably fam favorite. Also had boneless Chicken, very well done If in Destin, try this place. It's worth it. read more

The cheese breadsticks are delicious. Highly recommend them. The mild buffalo wings were just the right spice and the thin crust pizza was great too. The delivery was quick and the driver was very courteous. read more

This is a nice little pizza joint. Lots of fun specialty pies (including a variety of smoked meat options, like pork and brisket), but the classics hit the spot quite well. Excellent balance of quality toppings, cheese, and sauce atop an airy but nicely chewy crust (also a thin crust option, but I haven't tried that). Limited but quite adequate beer selection to go with the typical soft drink lineup. Seating area isn't huge by any means, but there's a table area in the center that can hold a larger group pretty well. Service is friendly and helpful. Will definitely keep this in mind for future trips when a pizza craving hits. read more

Merlins Pizza - Pepperoni Explosion (plus some roasted garlic) - Pizza Near Me - Destin, Florida

Delicious pizza! Had it delivered and was delivered before estimated time and the deliver guy was so nice and friendly!

Poor hostess/seating. We brought friends from out of town and were extremely disappointed in the manner we were treated. Initially we were directed to a table that needed to be cleared, then we were asked to stand outside while it was being done. Came back inside and other customers had been seated there. Asked to speak to manager who didn't know what to do. This was a chaotic mess so we just left. We will never return, there are too many other great places to eat that know how to manage seating. read more

Pizza was good. We ordered delivery and didn't receive cheese or crushed peppers. Also, we asked for additional dressing and only received one read more

Carnivore. Large. Tasty. Loaded with toppings. Quick. Easy. Convenient. Delicious. Crown pleaser.

Best pizza I ever had! I literally drive an hour and a half just for the garlic shrimp Parmesan pizza.

Great pizza- unusual choices and locals favorite! Place was packed with people waiting for take out. Nice people too.

Best pizza ever lots of different choices to choose from they even sent you a new resident free medium pizza in the mail not a lot of pizza pizza places do that. I think that's very good that they spread the love of the delicious food to the community. read more

Great staff!! Tried the honey butter chicken pizza and the meatballs. Meatball was little salty for my taste buds. Pizza was ok. I read great reviews on both the dishes but did not meet my expectations. Just my opinion!!!! read more

Ordered online at 5:40pm, which is peak time. They said 45 min to deliver. They delivered to our condo on the 3rd floor in 25 min flat. Great service!!! Pizzas were hot and tasty! Will definitely order from Merlin's again!!! read more

This is a hole in the wall on Airport Drive that does not disappoint. Do not be a large group; they do not seat parties over eight during the summer. Luckily, we only had four and only had to wait 5 minutes for someone to leave. We ordered five cheese bread, lasagna pizza, pesto chicken, bacon chicken ranch, and a make-your-own with garlic sauce and crab. I do not like marinara sauce, but this is not your typical sauce! We were fighting over it by the end of the cheese bread. The flavor and crunch of the thin-crust pest chicken was a beautiful combination. The crab got a little lost in the garlic sauce and the crab Looks to be imitation crab. The hand-tossed crust is fantastic. Overall, if you are in Destin, make it a point to stop here! You will not be disappointed with the choices, tastes, and service!! We had the pleasure of having Ethan waiting on us. He had terrific recommendations and was extremely patient with our indecisiveness. ***I had to make an edit for leftovers!*** This is not your cheap Domino's or Pizza Hut pizza so when you warm it up this crust stays soft and the toppings aren't rubber. This pizza was almost as good the next day!! I would give this place q0 stars if I could read more

We were glad to discover this local pizza joint this trip. Love the slogan on the box - "Life's too short to eat corporate pizza." Lol. I was very happy w/ my Main St. Smoker pizza: smoked beef brisket, slow smoked pulled pork, & 6-hr smoked sausage, tangy BBQ sauce & topped with a variety of cheeses. Also, you get your very own, fun little squeeze bottle of tasty garlic sauce. Wife got a Greek pizza I believe, & was also happy. Oh, since they don't have unsweet tea we just got water until noticing a Yelp Check-in bonus of two free soft drinks. It was fast & easy to use though had to do Dr. Pepper since only Pepsi products. Server was very patient with our "1st timer deliberations & questions" and tended to us efficiently. They do a lot of take out service so the dine in area is fairly small & basic but fully adequate for the crowd that night. Hope we remember to go again next trip. read more

Merlins Pizza - Main St. Smoker pizza. Small was plenty big for one, even leaving 1/2 to take home. Greek pizza in background. - Pizza Near Me - Destin, Florida

Merlin's Pizza is a staple every time we take a trip to Destin. If you don't order early you will be waiting a while for your pizza they're that busy. If you want to eat there get there early since the place isn't to big I suggest getting the cheese bread it's that good and even better the next day. If you haven't gotten a pizza from Merlin's you're missing out while you're in Destin . read more

You walk in, they know your name and know you ordered a gluten free and gluten pizzas. And they are excellent. Just like Cheers.

Our server Ethan really did a great job of meeting our expectations. He help us get my favorite pizza that wasn't on the menu any more. It was the BASIL CHICKEN pesto, grilled chicken, artichoke, mushrooms, red onions, mozzarella, Italian seasonings. This is so good on a thin crust. read more

This is our favorite pizza place in all of Florida! The ingredients are ample and fresh, and somehow the crust is perfect every time. Highly recommend you stop in for lunch or dinner or get it to go. read more

The pizza and cheesy bread were delicious! We ordered to pick up...staff was friendly, overall process was super easy! read more

The pizza was so good I forgot to take a picture. We got the meaty feast deluxe with hand tossed crust and the crust was nice and chewy. The meats were awesome and not greasy at all. The rest of my family had been the chicken bacon ranch club with the thin crust. They said it was amazing as well. We got the squeeze bottle of the garlic sauce they had and if you like garlic that stuff is the BOMB!! The only knock on this whole experience is the wait for delivery but now I see why they are so busy. They even delivered to our condo with no issues. read more

Small restaurant, but great take out. This is some of the best pizza I've ever had. I had it NY style, but the had hand tossed Chicago style as well. Highly recommend it. read more

Thin crust Hawaiian was excellent. Take out. Food was hot and ready on time. Crust was buttery and crispy.
