    Pizza by The Slice
    Samantha L.

    I was really craving some Italian food and found this place nearby. Upon arrival, the owner greeted me and helped me out with what to get. There was a customer there who suggested the pizza so I got two plain slices. They were very yummy and hot out the oven. I chatted with the owner throughout the meal and he was really friendly. It made my experience really great and I'm happy I stopped by this place. They have some pizza specials, such as 2 slices and soda for $8. The pizza slices were large and priced great.

    I'm giving them five stars because the few complaints I might have are overridden by just how delicious the food was. If ambiance matters to you, I'd recommend getting food to go, unless you're used to the small crowded cafes of Europe. The prices are a bit steep but the food is phenomenal so it makes sense. I got an eggplant parmigiana sandwich and I could barely pick it up because of how much cheese was in there. My main complaint here is that removing the sandwich from aluminum foil is a lot harder than if he'd used parchment paper or some other method. I suppose the drawback is that the aluminum foil is likely part of the cooking process. But it did make eating the food more challenging for a hot sub. The garlic rolls were great. No notes. The food took a long time to make but again it was worth it for the end result. TLDR Small hole in the wall with tremendous food at a premium price and a bit messy.

    Doughy under cooked garlic knots.

    1st time here, small local "pizza joint". Service was great, nothing fancy, grab a menu and have a seat kinda place. The food....eehhh, kinda mixed about the food. Ordered the garlic knots, not sure how they were cooked, but the were under cooked and burnt at the same time. Thy were basically yeast dough with oil garlic and red pepper, and heavy on the red pepper. The pizza was good at first, but the 2nd slice was weak and floppy, compared to the 1st slice, which was crisp and decent, not great, but not horrible and the more you ate the worst it got. If you go just order a slice and call it a day.

    I love New York style Pizza and Pauli's Pizza serves some of the best this side of the Hudson River. Once you walk in the door you will get a whiff of your favorite pizza cooking in the oven. It just smells like an old school pizza joint, because it is one. They have many other things on the menu and I've tried several but I always come back for the amazing pizza.

    Turkey & Cheese
    Heather B.

    While in town for a brief time we decided to grab some lunch. We checked the menu button on Yelp and prices are VERY outdated- possibly 7-8 year old- check the recent pictures for correct pricing. $6.95 for the turkey and cheese sub listed on Yelp was actually $11.95- almost double what we originally thought. The sandwich was very filling and quite tasty, but the cost of the ingredients themselves doesn't come close to $12. The bread had a great taste along with the ingredients being tasty- just have issue with the cost of things being so high compared to what was listed by the restaurant on Yelp. Would eat here again if we are nearby just be warned the prices listed are basically double.

    Italian Combo, no onions
    Steve B.

    Just went here for lunch and just devoured 1/2 of my sandwich!!! I went with the Italian combo and you can see by the pictures that it's loaded with meat and other stuff. I walked in and was greeted asking what I would like, I wasn't quite sure what I was going to get. The place is nice and had maybe 8-10 tables set up for people to eat in.

All the pasta dishes were flavorful and enjoyed by all. For dinner I had the Branzino piccata for $45 which was very flavorful with a side of spinach however very small portion. My husband had the yellowtail franchise for $45 that was served with spinach as well as a potato puree. Also $45 and a nice size piece of fish.

My wife and I dine here regularly, and every visit feels like coming home. The genuine hospitality and personal attention from the staff are what keep us coming back time and time again. The food is consistently outstanding. Whether we're trying a new dish or ordering one of our favorites, every meal is prepared with care, quality ingredients, and incredible attention to detail. You can tell there is a passion for great food behind everything that comes out of the kitchen. The bar program deserves special recognition as well. The bartenders work with fresh ingredients and premium spirits, and you can taste the difference immediately. Every cocktail is balanced, flavorful, and thoughtfully crafted rather than simply poured. It's clear they take as much pride in the drinks as the kitchen does in the food. The service team is equally impressive. The waitstaff is always friendly, attentive, and accommodating without ever making you feel rushed. They genuinely want you to enjoy your experience and go out of their way to make every visit memorable. The atmosphere is another reason this place stands out. The music is always perfectly curated, creating the ideal backdrop for an intimate dinner, date night, or evening out with friends. It strikes that rare balance of being lively and energetic while still allowing for conversation. What truly separates this restaurant from others is the sense of community. It's one of the few places where you're greeted with a hug when you arrive and often another when you leave. That level of warmth and authenticity simply can't be manufactured. If you're anywhere near South Florida, it's absolutely worth making the trip to Hollywood for an unforgettable dining experience. And whatever you do, don't leave without ordering the focaccia bread. It may sound simple, but it's one of the stars of the menu--fresh, flavorful, perfectly prepared, and the ideal way to start an exceptional meal.

That was my first time having it so I was surprised when I saw it basically looked like a meatball. Overall, a great night with friends. The pistachio cake was delicious!!
