    14"sausage, pepperoni, black olive pizza and a house salad
    Brenda H.

    I was so happy that Papa Vito's was still open when we returned to Cocoa Beach! They have the "real deal" Italian. We have had the pizza and the spaghetti from different times. We even had pizza delivered to the pool at our hotel. People kept asking where we got it from because it smells so delicious! It is truly an amazing experience!! The staff is excellent too! They are always so efficient , knowledgeable and friendly.

    We stopped by Papa Vito's after hearing it was the go to pizza spot for locals in Cocoa Beach, known for its award winning pies and out of this world garlic knots. The place definitely has that laid back, local charm and a steady flow of regulars, which gave us high hopes walking in. Considering every table was taken and full we got lucky to snack one of the last open tables available upon walking in. To be honest, the garlic knots didn't quite live up to the hype for me. They were decent, but I was expecting something a bit more memorable based on the buzz. That said, the rest of the meal definitely made up for it. We ordered a salad that was super fresh and flavorful, a great starter. The pizza was also solid, crisp crust, good sauce-to-cheese ratio, and generous toppings. We got the hit man Dan pizza. I also got to try one of the meatballs from a pasta dish my boyfriend's brother ordered, and it was surprisingly delicious..tender, well-seasoned, and hearty.

    Hamburger pepperoni pizza!

    Everything about this place is perfect. We're from STL looking for food and stumbled across this gem. The pizza is EVERYTHING a pizza should be. Service is amazing he kept glasses full and moving plates as they were done

    My family and I stopped in after a trip to the beach and wowzers! The pizzas here are ginormous, combined with a crispy crusty, good sauce and reasonable prices and you have a nice casual meal for the entire family! I ordered the lasagna which was filled will meat, was cheesy and saucy--just the way I like it. The garlic bread, cheese read and wings were also phenomenal compared to other places we've been to. The staff was friendly and provided quick and attentive service even though it was packed! We left with happy bellies and leftovers for the next day--score!

    We devoured 2 before i snapper D our chicken boats! Def ordering these again next time

    Victoria was amazing! Very knowledgeable of the menu. Her recommendations were spot on! The food was delicious. Definitely will come back. The chicken boats!!! Mama Mia! Yummy!

    Does this look like a healthy portion of white sauce, extra cheese, with Ricotta? $38.00! I had $10 7-11 pizzas better than this.

    Hate to do this, but I gave management (owner) the opportunity to right a wrong and he failed. Went to order a white seafood pizza in which I have got in the past. Long story short, I was told they cannot do it because it's a code violation. (Which is a lie). So I said "Scratch that whole order then. Let me get a large Margarita Pizza, with double bacon and Ricotta sauce". Note: Every other pizza place I ordered from states a Margarita already comes with extra cheese, and the 25 or so I have eaten, are with red sauce. Shame on me for not checking before I left. Got home and (30 minute drive) and found that it was a "white pizza" and looked like the Charlie Brown Christmas tree of pizzas as pictured. I called two days later because they were closed the next day (Monday). Received a call from the owner. Explained to him it wasn't the pizza I wanted, and even by the standards of a (white) margarita pizza, the sauce, ricotta, and cheese were light. Bacon was okay. Ultimately it was a very dry pizza and probably one of the worst pizzas I've ever eaten, but was really hungry and ate the center parts. Going back and forth with the owner, he stated that he personally checked the pizza himself and thought it looked delicious. Also stated he no longer offers the seafood because it would be too much for the toppings (the truth vs the lie I was given.) Not sure how he checked it, because I didn't see him in the kitchen when it came out. This was a $38.00 pizza. ($45.00 with tip). I was getting nowhere with the owner on this. I didn't want my money back, but just a properly made replacement. So now I have to give a bad review.

    Papa's Italian is the best spot for a truly delicious and cozy Italian dining experience! The atmosphere is warm and inviting--classic Italian charm that makes you feel right at home. The food is absolutely delicious, from perfectly cooked pasta to rich, flavorful sauces. You can tell everything is made with care. The service is just as great--friendly, attentive, and always helpful with recommendations. Whether it's your first time or your fifth, you're treated like family. Definitely a 10/10 and a must-try if you love Italian food! They do a lot of happy hours as well so call!

    Cheese & Pepperoni Pizza

    The pizza wasn't great for the price. We ordered a basic cheese and pepperoni pizza because someone from the area recommended the place, but it wasn't good, which says a lot because we were hungry The service was great, though, because they were really fast and let me pay at the time of delivery

    This is one of the only places in the area that does takeout slices, especially at night. There was not a wide variety of slices to choose from, so I got one cheese and one everything. The pizzas were perfectly floppy, but in some parts over crispy. The pizza sauce lacked flavor, but thankfully the slices were big. I wouldn't come back again, but I can see why people enjoy it!

    Server was super nice, appetizers were delicious. Didn't love the chicken carbonara but that's a personal preference. 8/10. Would come back.

The restaurant is very big and it looked like they had a large room in the back if you have a group of 10 or more. It is ideal for families but you have to ask what's on the kids menu. They have one just not printed out. We went with the Alfredo Pasta with chicken for the kids and one order could have feed three people. The portions are huge so go into your lunch or dinner knowing that. We didn't go for the pizza because our server recommended the lunch calzone which was about the size of my head. Not joking at all. He said the dough was made from scratch and you could tell in the craftsmanship of the cooks in the back. Conveniently located Just a stone's throw from the cruise port, Zarrella's is an ideal stop for travelers looking to enjoy a hearty meal before heading out to sea. It was also walkable from almost every hotel. Zarrella's Italian & Wood Fired Pizza stands out for its authentic flavors, welcoming atmosphere, and excellent service. Whether you're a local or just passing through, it's a great spot to savor some Italian comfort food.

This place is truly a hidden gem. It sits right on A1A in Cape Canaveral, just beyond the traffic light as you cross the Cruise Ship Terminal. Parking is plentiful, easy to access, and easy to get in and out of. The atmosphere is warm, friendly, and inviting. The service was top-notch, and our waiters were extremely knowledgeable about the menu, including how everything was prepared. One thing that really stood out to me was the freshness of the food. There are no heating lamps keeping plates warm and no "Chef Mike" (microwave) shortcuts. Everything is made to order, exactly the way you want it. They have a great regular menu, but they also offer specials, which is what I went with. I had the NY Strip special, and it was cooked to perfection! The steak was incredibly well-seasoned and paired with a zucchini and squash medley that tasted like it had just the right touch of truffle oil and garlic. It was seasoned perfectly. I normally don't eat zucchini or squash unless they're prepared a certain way, and this was exactly how I like them. Absolutely delicious! I highly recommend stopping in and giving this place a try. Be sure to take a look around at all the space-related items throughout the restaurant--they add a really cool Cape Canaveral touch to the experience. Great food, great service, great atmosphere, and a memorable evening. You won't be disappointed!
