Here is a long but great, review of Nona's Urban Pizza that balances those vibrant Lake Nona vibes with a heavy dose of Camuyano nostalgia. The "Camuy Connection": A Technicolor Time Machine in Lake Nona Walking into Nona's Urban Pizza at Lake Nona Landing, you aren't greeted by the standard "industrial-chic" brick and dim lighting. No, this place is funky, bright, and colorful--the kind of aesthetic that feels like a party is about to break out at any second. It's vibrant, loud, and unapologetically cheerful. The Garlic Knot Dilemma: A "Friends" Tragedy First, let's talk about the appetizers. The garlic knots were solid--soft, warm, and clearly made with love. However, as someone who considers a raw clove of garlic a reasonable snack, I found myself wanting more. I was looking for that Monica Geller "pretentious, comma, garlicky" level of intensity. I wanted to be in a "garlic coma" so profound that Phoebe and Monica would have to fight over my attention like they did with "Coma Guy" in Season 1. If I don't wake up the next morning wondering if I've transformed into a giant bulb of Allium sativum, was there really enough garlic? The Slice of My Youth But then, the pizza arrived. The first bite didn't just taste good; it was a sensory teleportation device. Suddenly, I wasn't in an Orlando shopping plaza--I was back in Camuy, Puerto Rico. It captured the exact essence of those local pizzerias near the pueblo where I spent my high school years. It had that specific "PR-style" soul: the perfect cheese-to-crust ratio and a flavor profile that felt like home. Whether it's the way the dough is handled or a secret in the sauce, it hit the same nostalgic notes as those legendary spots like John's Pizza or the local gems tucked away in Camuy. It's rare to find a slice in Florida that doesn't just mimic a New York style, but actually respects the island roots. The Verdict Nona's Urban Pizza is a neon-colored bridge to my past. While I might bring my own pocket-garlic for the knots next time to reach true "Friends"-level intensity, the pizza itself is a masterpiece of memory. Rating: (One extra slice for making me feel like a teenager in Camuy again.) The Menu: A Caribbean-Italian Fever Dream If the standard cheese slice is a time machine to Camuy, these specialty items are a full-blown festival in the middle of the pueblo. The Heavy Hitters: Specialty Pizzas * The "Tripleta" Pizza: This is the heavyweight champion. Imagine the iconic Puerto Rican street sandwich--ham, steak, and pork--reimagined on a pizza crust. It's topped with crunchy potato sticks and a generous drizzle of mayo-ketchup. It's salty, savory, and has that specific "crunch" that defines a late-night snack in PR. * The "Domi" Pizza: For those who want a bold taste of the Caribbean, this is it. It features sweet plantains (maduros), Dominican-style salami, and fried cheese (queso frito), all brought together with a guava sauce drizzle. It's a sweet-and-savory masterpiece that defies pizza physics. * The "Chama" Pizza: A nod to Venezuelan flavors, featuring mozzarella, smoked honey ham, and--crucially--whole kernel corn. Specialty Appetizers & Fusion Bites * Nono Crazy Tostones: Forget standard fries; these are six fried green plantains loaded with cheese sauce and savory chorizo. * The Nono Sampler: This is the ultimate "I can't decide" move. It's a mix of mini pizza empanadas, cornmeal sticks (sorullitos), and mini chicken cordon bleu bites, served with marinara and that essential mayo-ketchup. * Wings with Tostones: Because why have celery when you can have perfectly fried plantains? Homemade "Made-to-Order" Pasta The pasta menu at Nona's keeps that homestyle comfort alive, often with a unique twist: * Meat Lasagna with Sweet Plantains: This is their "Lasagna Jibara." Instead of just pasta layers, they integrate sweet plantains into the meat and cheese stacks for a rich, tropical take on the Italian classic. * Spaghetti Carbonara with Chicken: A creamy, made-to-order favorite with crispy bacon and tender chicken. * Baked Spaghetti with Meatballs: For when you want that oven-toasted cheese crust on top of your noodles. Pro Tip: If you're going for the Tripleta Calzone or the Domi, don't even try to be "dignified" about it. Just lean into the mayo-ketchup and enjoy the ride. read more

This pizza place is in Lake Nona right in front of Walmart. The place is stupendous! Great pizzas with a Puerto Rican twist. The tripleta pizza was amazing! Their wings were delicious. Next time I would like to try the Jibara pizza which has steak and fried sweet plantains, yummy. The restaurant itself is really pretty and they keep it nice and clean. I loved being able to see the fire in the pizza oven. The guy that took my order was nice but seemed upset, I did not like that, and I was sad that on the menu they had sangria but they did not have any. Overall, great Puerto Rican pizza place and the prices were great. read more

I've never actually been *in* Nona's Urban Pizza, but they are hands down my favorite pizza delivery in town! The building looks fun and is located in front of Walmart off Narcoose. The pizzas are delicious, creative, and oddly authentic while being extremely creative! I've tried their Tripletta, Domi, and Pepperoni pizzas and every single time they are hot, fresh, and flavorful. For being fresh and delivered, they are fast, the ordering process is super easy, and when you call you get a real person who is helpful and friendly. If you're looking to try something new and fun, the Tripletta pizza has delicious ham, steak, and pork with mayo-ketchup, and crispy potato sticks. But the real star in my opinion is the salty-sweet Domi pizza with salami, plantains, mozzarella and guava sauce drizzled across the top! read more

The quality is very bad, the taste is really bad. I don't know what happened, but it went downhill. They used to be very good.

Limited seating. Went to get a basic supreme pizza and the taste was ok. Their pepperoni and cheese was good. Wings were good. Mozzarella sticks are just frozen from a bag. Service was blah- no greeting or courtesy. read more

If I can add no stars I would but I can't, but the customer service sucks, Hispanics are know for the charisma which this place had 0 we got some wings and they were horrible too much sauce, garlic knots were cold and we ask the girl too take them back to warm them more and when she took them back one of the the guy got upset and tossed it back in the oven and the pizza it is whatever pizza it was so bland it's ridiculous I am a proud Puertorican but this food doesn't represent my island sorry I'll never come Back, money I regret spending read more

Overall, pretty good. I tried the deluxe calzone. The crust was nice and buttery, good texture. The veggies were fresh, but a little under cooked imo. My son had a personal cheese pizza and ate the whole thing real fast. It's quick service, so order at the counter and they bring to your table. Get up to get drunk refills. The atmosphere seems a little confused. There's a real weird looking...mouse?....in the middle of the place. And Connect 4 and Jenga sets. Nothing that is going to blow you away, but I'd go back. read more

Food was amazing !!! A+ for taste and freshness. We had the pepperoni pizza, garlic knots and buffalo chicken wings. Service a D- Cashier was blah, unfriendly and not very personable. Certainly did not offer up any suggestions or any of the specials they had. Mentioned it to Samuel the mgr and he excused it as being busy. It was not when we came in. Only happened when a lil' league bb team came in. Instead of accepting the feedback as an opportunity to teach or train his staff to be more suggestive and helpful to enhance the customer experience he doubled down and said they had flyers available but were not given or mentioned at time of ordering. I said first time customer how would I know if your staff doesn't mention it. All around his stance and customer service will keep us from becoming regulars. Btw we drove 30 minutes out to this place for this to be the overall experience. read more

Food: we had a pepperoni large pizza we went basic. The pizza was very tasteful and cheesy. The only thing is that the dough was a bit thick making the pizza saggy. But it was good the pizza came with 8 slices: my husband and I ate the whole pie the pieces aren't big. We also had the garlic knots they were ok nothing wow about them. Ambiance definitely a family friendly place. Service was good the girls were super friendly and it was fast read more

Called ahead and placed a to-go order after reviewing the menu. Decided on meat lovers and garlic knots. I arrived early and was greeted. While waiting, I noticed there were connect four games on tables. I thought it was an unexpected touch for a restaurant but a clear attempt at family-friendliness, along with bright colors abc a pinball machine in the back. When the food was ready, I was let down by the lack of flavor; everything seemed bland. While they offer more intriguing pizza options I didn't consider, the meat lovers might not be their standout choice. Perhaps for a family that is looking for friendly service and basic pizza, they are adequate. read more

One of the reviews I read compared it to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza in the game Five Nights at Freddy's, and it's so true. They had multiple screens playing different sports games, pinball machines, and board games like Connect 4 and Jenga for everyone to enjoy. They even have their own mascot and a sculpture of them in the dining area. We ordered a large pizza with half Tripleta and half Buffalo Chicken. I was told about the Tripleta pizza, and the idea terrified me (I'm not kidding). After contemplating the weird combination, I knew I had to give it a try. Honestly, pretty good combo for what it's worth. The crust was crispy, the mayo ketchup wasn't overpowering, and the potato sticks offered a nice crunch. However, the Buffalo Chicken pizza was the absolute WORST pizza we've ever had. The entire portion was extremely salty, with each little piece of chicken somehow absorbing that sodium. Each bite got worse and worse; we couldn't finish the pizza. The ambiance was there, but the flavors were not delivering well. If you're feeling adventurous, you can try the Tripleta pizza, but you're on your own for the rest of the menu. read more

A yummy pizza place with a very good happy hour! Nona Urban does a happy hour that includes half priced appetizers as well as two for one beer and wine. The beer is already very fairly priced at $4 for domestics and $5 for imports, complete with a cold mug of a different shape depending on the type of beer you get. You can enjoy bogo beers or half priced appetizers from 3-6PM tor happy hour. The pizza is also very yummy! The Korean BBQ pizza is one of my favorites, but it did have quite a bit of grease on it when I ordered it last. I will be back! read more

Pizza felt rushed. Not a fan of the cheese used on my pizza. Reminded me of a frozen pizza warmed up

Amazing location! We had seen this place pop up on Instagram and made the drive to check it out. Their jibaro pizza was so delicious. The mixture of flavors between the maduros and pizza was exquisite. Their staff were very courteous as well. Recommend you checking it out and enjoy it. Will be back! read more

It was my first time going here the place itself is clean and organized. The quality of the pizza was great and fresh with the specialty pizza offered at this location. The only thing I would say that the missed opportunity was on greeting specially if you notice that is a first time visit you would guide them and check up on them considering if not busy rush hour occurring which anyone would understand. I will give a chance to this place and recommend read more

Wasn't bad, wasn't particularly good. We decided to try this place after my son's soccer game. And in short, it was just ok. Lemme explain. The vibe we get from the place is a Five Nights At Freddy's vibe. The decoration resembles an 80's style chuck-e-cheese complete with an odd-looking mascot in the middle of the restaurant that looks like it might come to life in the middle of the night. They have little table games like bootleg Jenga and Connect 4 to keep you entertained while you wait for your food. Mascot is a little weird but table games were a nice touch. The food was interesting. We had the quintessential Wednesday night after soccer meal (Pizza and wings). The wings were cooked well and were meaty just the way I like them. However, there was little to no seasoning and the sauce was very thin and did nothing for the wings. Even the ranch that it came with tasted watered-down. They were fine. Nothing super special. The pizza faked us out. The dough they were using tasted fresh and the way they prepped the pizza looked like they were doing all the right things. It was shaping up to be a good pie but it ended up tasting bland with very little sauce. The bottom and the crust was doughy and soft which I personally don't enjoy, but it wasn't offensive tasting. Tasted kind of like a fresher chuck-e-cheese pizza. The staff was friendly and attentive. No complaints there. All in all, we may go back one day because it's so close to the soccer facility. But it probably won't crack our regular restaurant rotation. read more

Went up to get pizza by the slice. Guy behind the counter said they don't do pizza by the slice but that they have a special for two slices and a drink. Then he went to talk to someone when he came back I said let me do the two slices and a drink. He then said they weren't doing that and that I would have to get a whole personal pizza. The menu on the wall clearly says they do single slices of pizza. Just like that won't be coming back read more

Good food, service excellent, ambience clean La pizza margarita buenisima, el servicio de Gilberto excelente, simpático y agradable, el ambiente acogedor, familiar. read more

There are two things I enjoy eating the most. Pizza and the Puerto Rican sandwich known as "La Tripleta" which translates to "The Triple". We talking about ham , steak and pork with some crunchy potato sticks. Then it's drizzled with a mayo ketchup sauce. Now imagine that but on a pizza. Super yummy ! Crust was super crispy packed with cheese. The entire ambience of the restaurant was fun. Really cool art work , sculptures and pinball machines. Went with the kiddos and they loved all the table games available. read more

Went last night, the pizza was pretty good, also had a cannoli which was really good. The service wasn't bad BUT it was pretty slow, took a little more than half an hour for the food to come out and the place was pretty dirty. Tables hadn't been cleaned, trash overflowing. The pizza itself wasn't bad tho, I would just order to go. read more

We just went for the first time in this Pizza Place in Lake Nona. We had the tripleta pizza, it is super good! The flavor was great, the crust was perfect. Great customer service, they were doing a great job keeping the place clean and organized. My favorite was the Garlic Knots, it was so delicious! The lasagna was good. Passion Fruit smoothie was also great! The price was fair! There is free and easy parking outside. read more

Food is delicious, service is great! And there is bunch of games and entertainment while you wait for your pizza. Ambiance 20/20.

This place makes some of the best pizza I've ever tasted! They get really creative with their pizzas with flavor combos that will have your mouth watering . The service is fast & friendly & the ambience inside has a cool fun urban vibe to it as they have a couple arcade games, a few big screen TV's & table top games like Jenga & Connect 4. We hosted our fantasy football draft there & Valery the assistant manager went above & beyond in making sure we were all very well taken care of. Check this hidden gem out, it will likely become your new favorite pizza joint. read more

Ordered a pizza for pickup so didn't grab any pictures inside the restaurant. Ordered an extra large Korean BBQ pizza. It was amazing! We all were raving about how good the pizza was. My only complaint is that for an extra large I wish it was a little bigger (probably because it was so good we wanted more of it!). Definitely will be back soon read more

This place is great! We have had the korean bbq pizza and the load in-zone urban pizza and both were delicious. Good place to bring the kids since they got pinball machine, jenga, and connect 4. read more

Another average restaurant in Lake Nona at above average prices. They could do more with taste and freshness of the ingredients. Hope they improve their quality and taste as well as a more helpful service at the cash register. read more

Ordered online at 4:00, said it was done online at 4:25. my wife went to pick it up and they had not event put. the pizza in and they said it was almost ready. The service is awful. read more

The restaurant was very clean and decorated well, the staff was very friendly. They did not deliver but we were excited for the possibility of a good new pizza place in Nona. Unfortunately it missed the mark in a few places. The wings weren't very saucy and not very well seasoned, the pepperoni pizza was good and New Yorkish but we didn't love the specialty pizzas. It kind of was pretty standard Lake Nona takeout which could always just be a bit better. read more

Horrible smell upon entering this place and we literally sat down and waited 35 minutes for a personal pan pizza the place is not full at all. Only 3 families siting down never again! read more
