    pepperoni pizza

    the food is great! i used doordash and the communication was great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]the place looks good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Ordered 4 meatballs and received 6!
    Melinda R.

    Flavor was spot on with both the Stromboli and the meatballs. Only complaint, and not even worth taking a star off for because flavor was still there, the marinara sauce was quite thin. Other than that one thing it was great! Will absolutely be back!

    Greek Salad
    Kerri F.

    A Local favorite for sure. I walked from my Airbnb with ease. Love the option of ordering one slice of pizza with any toppings I desired. Greek salad was fresh and I was sure to eat all of it. Staff was super friendly and working hard. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience is casual as it is along the boardwalk.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tons of tourist and very flexible hours.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    When on the beach & feeling hungry & looking for an inexpensive tasty bite head over to Papa's Pizza for a quick meal. Pizza is always a hot & the pizza here will not disappoint, it hot & fresh with a nice crispy crust & flavorful sauce, could use a tad more cheese but overall a nice pizza I'd come again

    Slice of pepperoni pizza

    Staying on Pensacola Beach for a vacation, I was craving pizza and had heard good things about this spot. I saw they had Sicilian style pizza on the menu so I called to order one for takeout but was disappointed to hear they were unavailable that day. I decided to take the short drive over to get a few slices to go to see if this pizza I lived up to the hype. It was a Friday night around 6 PM and only two tables were taken up in this quaint little pizza joint. I ordered two slices to go, and the cashier repeated back to me my order and reiterated that I would like them in a box. I told her yes, and when I paid in cash, she looked confused and struggled to come up with the correct change, which was not actually correct, but I wasn't going to hassle her over a few cents. I waited for my pizza for over 10 minutes and when I finally made eye contact with the woman at the register again, she seemed to realize that my pizza had been sitting behind the counter and brought them to the table on two paper plates. I looked confused and asked her if I could get them in a box like I had ordered, and she rolled her eyes and took them behind the counter, putting them in a box but using her hands, which had been handling money and other people's beverage glasses, in the process. She was dismissive and came off pretty rude in general. Having worked in the service industry many years, I can understand if you're busy or you're having an off night, but this lady just seemed to have a stick where the sun doesn't shine and was rude for no good reason. I even tipped before all this happened and the pizza was OK, but I don't think I would go back after this customer experience. There are definitely other places to get mediocre pizza on Pensacola Beach and the FOH isn't so rude!

    I don't know how this place has such a low rating. This place is a Pensacola Beach institution that I've been eating at since high school. Yea, it's never gonna win a Michelin Star, but it's still darn good pizza. So there's a boardwalk full of restaurants and shops and bars along the edge of the beach on the bay side of things at Pensacola Beach. Businesses come, businesses go, but this place remains. It's at the very end, right next to an ice cream shop, so it's the first or the last thing people see when strolling the whole boardwalk. A statue of Papa himself greets you right before you walk in the door, and when you get inside, it's a cozy little shop with Pensacola decor and murals all over everywhere. Very quaint. You walk up to the counter and place your order. I brought my niece once day when I was visiting home. We went to Fort Pickens, the beach, and then came here for some lunch. She got a couple of slices of cheese, because she's boring, and I got a couple of slices of Peppino Schano (Broccoli, spinach, green peppers, onions, mushrooms). The crust is thin, and the bottom of it is borderline burnt, which makes it so crispy. Crispy, yet strong enough to not bend under the weight of the toppings. The amount of toppings is pretty nice. You get a good assortment of each of the veggies. Not too much, not too little. Overall, this is the pizza you need and deserve in the middle of a hot, hot, hot beach day at the best beach in the state. Get a Mexican Coke to go with your meal, and you'll want to give this place five stars as well.

    Inside

    There is not a lot of room in this pizza place but it was a cute old school restaurant. We ordered the extra large pepperoni pizza which was really good. We ordered it to go so it was not as fresh as I would have liked when we got it back to the room to eat. The bread sticks were okay. Literally bread sticks and garlic. The young lady who checked me out was not the nicest person but it was pretty busy for lunch time. I would eat the pizza again but eat it fresh at the restaurant.

    Greek salad
    Emily K.

    I don't have any complaints. I think it took around 30 minutes for our order to be ready for pickup. We ordered a x large bacon pizza and a Greek salad. The pizza was really good and was the perfect amount for 4 people.

    I wish it were better. This spot is located on the Pensacola Beach boardwalk which is an awesome location! They sell pizza by the slice but it is sadly mediocre at best. I ordered a slice of sausage pizza and it was similar to something I would have eaten in a middle school cafeteria. It wasn't the worst but also was not up to par with alot of the other pizza joints in town.

    Breadstick
    Michelle A.

    Meh. This place use to be fabulous. I really missed it this time. Just wasn't good. Super salty, cheese was thicker and the sauce was way greasy and not the crispy bottom. Breadsticks were crust with a little butter and garlic salt on top.

    Sicilian pepperoni and sausage

    Boys wanted pizza after taking a boat ride to see the dolphins so we swung by here. I'm a bit of a pizza snob and although this did not hit my top five it is dang good pizza. Best I've had in Florida thus far. Kids and wife satisfied I'll call it a win. We had a fantastic server as well she did a great job and even pointed out some places we may enjoy.

    Pizza by the slice or as a whole pie. New York style. Very very good! Also had a Greek salad. This place is a gem! Employees very nice! We will be back!

From the moment we arrived, Melissa provided some of the best service we've experienced in a long time. She took incredible care of our entire party, including our 6-month-old daughter. As any parent knows, dining out with a baby can sometimes be challenging, but Melissa made us feel completely welcome and comfortable throughout the evening. We enjoyed wine, appetizers, and several entrées, and she was wonderful about accommodating customizations and special requests. What really stood out was how genuinely kind and engaging she was with our baby and she took time to play with her, made her smile and giggle, and truly helped make the night special for our whole family. The food was fantastic, the views are absolutely incredible, and the atmosphere is hard to beat. The outdoor patio and bar area are especially beautiful. After dinner, Melissa helped us relocate outside where we enjoyed more wine and dessert while taking in the view. And whatever you do, don't skip the crème brûlée, it was the perfect ending to an already amazing meal! The entire team was friendly, welcoming, and attentive, and the level of hospitality we experienced was exceptional. Between the delicious food, stunning waterfront setting, and outstanding service from Melissa, this was one of the highlights of our trip. We'll absolutely be back the next time we're in Pensacola. Thank you, Melissa and the DRIFT team, for such a memorable evening!

The wait was longer for food but luckily our table was not starving. Our waiter, Elijah was kind and went above and beyond with patience for drinks and extras for things. Would come again! Would consider as a spot with friends and or dinner date - not like a family vibe with young kids.

We look forward to coming back every year, and it never disappoints. Aaron was our server a few weeks ago and was absolutely fantastic. He took the time to explain all of the specials thoroughly, gave us some great recommendations, and was incredibly attentive throughout our entire meal. You can tell he genuinely knows the menu and wants his guests to have a great experience. As for the food, the miso scallops are an absolute must and, hands down, my favorite thing on the menu! My boyfriend always gets a steak, and they are consistently cooked to perfection. Definitely make sure to try the salmon crudo and oysters as well- they're both delicious. And whatever you do, save room for a dessert cocktail! The limoncello carajillo is absolutely delicious and the perfect way to end the meal. This is one of those places we come back to year after year, and it's always a highlight of our trip. Great food, great service, and such a memorable experience every time! Side note- please keep the Dolce Vita martini on the menu forever!
