Ordered takeout via phone, easy to order right to the point and didn't let the phone ring. Walked in and immediately felt that NYC local pizzeria vibe, I loved it. A bit worn but it can be attributed to the charm when the food is as good as it is. Got a large pepperoni pizza and garlic knots like nearly every other pizza place on my list to try. The pizza smelled, looked, and tasted great. It was a bit greasy but about as much you would expect from a NY slice. The dough/crust was a little too stiff than I'd like but that's just me being picky. The garlic knots are large and very good. This is one of the first pizza spots on my list that had both good pizza and knots not to mention the sauce. Pete's is definitely a contender for my favorite pizza so far! read more

It's New York style pizza. Also the Philly cheesesteak is unbelievable. Highly recommend eating here every weekend.

I've tried to give this place multiple chances because the pizza itself is genuinely good -- especially for a $5 slice. If it were just about the food, I'd have zero complaints. That's honestly the only reason I keep coming back. Unfortunately, the service has been consistently disappointing. There is one female employee in particular whose attitude makes the experience uncomfortable every time. The interactions feel dismissive and unnecessarily rude. I'm not expecting special treatment -- just basic courtesy and professionalism. When you're spending your money somewhere, that shouldn't be too much to ask. What makes this situation even more concerning is that after I left an honest review about my experience, I was told I was trespassed from the establishment. Being banned simply for sharing feedback feels extreme and unprofessional. Reviews are meant to reflect customer experiences -- good or bad -- and banning someone over that raises serious questions about how criticism is handled. It's frustrating because the pizza is good, but the repeated negative service and now being trespassed for expressing my experience makes it hard to support this business moving forward. I hope management reconsiders how customer concerns are addressed, because the food deserves better representation than the service I've received. read more

After years of reliability, it's just not the same. It was our go-to for counter slices for decades. Today, the cheese slices were so thin, the few minutes that they threw them in the oven burnt them badly. The 2 sicilian slices were one slice cut in half. They claim that "sometimes the dough doesn't expand". (I've never seen dough shrink to half size and I've been eating sicilian slices for 40 years, including at least 20 years at Petes. Looks like a dying business grasping for survival. I'm not sure if I'll stop in again anytime soon. There's been a steady decline, but today was really bad. read more

Yet again, another bad customer service experience at Pete's Pizza. I went in around 11:59 a.m. to order one slice of pizza, cut in half. I stood there for about 10 minutes without being acknowledged, even though I was clearly visible on camera the entire time. When I was finally addressed, the woman behind the counter (name unknown) denied me service. I stayed patient, and Mike, who was actually making pizzas, ended up putting my slice in the oven and completing my transaction. Oddly, the transaction was not done through the cash register, which made the situation even more confusing -- especially since the counter employee didn't assist me at all. This isn't the first time I've had issues with customer service here, and it's disappointing to keep having the same experience. Customers shouldn't be ignored or denied service without explanation. read more

EVERYTHING! The pizza was delicious and the restaurant staff was very warm and friendly!

Best pizza in Daytona Beach I know this place when they were in Staten Island and I would eat there all the time when I lived in NY.

Loved my pizza! The crust is exactly what I like. Crunchy to perfection. My husband loves good pizza and he really makes me happy when we order at Pete's. We like ham, onion and mushrooms. read more

Hey, so I went over there a few days ago. I saw my friend working. I ordered some food and paid for it. I had the owner. I was waiting for like 15-20 minutes and I had the owner when I walked back in to see what was going on. I asked him to prove that I paid for it that my friend charged me even though he stood there next to my friend and watched him do it. It was just a very uncomfortable interaction. I have not been back and I definitely do not plan on going back. The food is okay, but I do not like that kind of interaction when it comes to customer service. I am in the hospitality industry. I've been doing it for a very long time and I have never ever come across something like this, and I am not wanting to leave reviews, but this is something that I definitely could not shake off because it was definitely something that bothered me. read more

Terrible customer service!!! The pizza is mediocre but would be worth it if they got rid of the rude cashier!

Excellent pizza. Great wings fantastic cheesecake I would highly recommend this pizza place to anyone.

The worst pizza I have ever seen, the crust was inch and 1/4 thick raw in the middle and totally undercooked, we requested well done. Ordered a meat lover meatballs were gray and slimy sausage was old, ham was some kind of cheap boiled ham. Sauce and cheese bland and flavorless. My wife took 2 bites I ate half a piece and threw the whole thing in the trash. read more

I ordered a pepperoni pizza with garlic! Which I payed 20$ for! When I received the pizza THERE WAS NO GARLIC !! I asked him before I left if he put garlic and he lied in my face saying yes he put it under the cheese which was a lie! DONT WAIST YOUR TIME !! Go some where they do not lie in your face and have better quality!! read more

I thought I'd try a slice today to see if the pizza improved from 5 years ago. O-M-G! When the employe was slicing the pie, he dug his nails into the pie itself, well beyond the crust- and this was while his boss was standing right there watching him and didn't open his mouth until I told them I wasn't going to eat something that someone dug his nails into, ands handling it in that manner without gloves on! How GD disgusting! The handler should be fired and his boss FINED! read more

Always happy to get my take out food here. As close to NY as I've discovered in Florida so far.

Pete's is and always will be the pizza I remember in Daytona. It was the first pizza place I tried when I moved here 10 years ago. Pete's is a small place with 6-9 tables. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean. They have a lot more than just pizza there. Unfortunately, I can only attest to the pizza and greek salad since that's the only thing I've ever ordered. When someone asks who has good pizza around here, I suggest Pete's. read more

very low quality pizza with green olives all over the pizza ! who does that? black olives are the only kind that I've ever ordered on a pizza. it was way better before it sold from the original owners of 35 years. Papa Pete was genuine and cared about the food that left his restaurant. garlic knots are good. read more

Undercooked mediocre pizza, chewy dough super floppy and dripping with grease! Ewwww never again. Needs new owners total revamp!

5/10. Order not ready when arrived (late). Arrived home to find wrong pizza ( buyer beware, I get it ) Wife can't stand pepperoni ( the wrong pizza) very greasy ( calzone was pretty good) The staff seemed like they wanted to be anywhere else than waiting on customers. Sorry Pete's, one and done for us read more

This is now my favorite Pizza place! Everything else there is great too. Try the Eggplant and a plain pie. Reminds me of NY,NJ Pizza!

I drive down from Canada for the winter and always stop by Pete's, coming and going. As a vegan he uses his talents to prepare something I can eat. Always delicious, homey and the best atmosphere and food. Try it!!! read more

the Pizza was delicious, order Margarita and all meat pizza, the curst is amazing. we put honey on crust for a little Colorado style. read more

I've lived in Daytona area for nearly 35 years. Pete's Pizza has been consistently the VERY best of New York style pizza. Hands down, our favorite! Always a pleasant experience whether we pick up or have it delivered. We highly recommend it. read more

Mediocre pizza, but it's the owners attitude that lets them down. Rude to customers and should find someone else to deal with people.

I'm still looking for a great Italian restaurant that makes an awesome sauce, so I thought I would try this place... I'm still looking. I tried the spaghetti and meatballs with an order of garlic knots and some "pizza fries" for a friend. I liked the meatballs. Big, beefy, some good flavors there. The spaghetti noodles were ok, nothing fancy. The sauce was thin, a bit watery, needed some seasoning. Thin was good though because the garlic knots were buttery and garlicky on the outside, but tough and chewy on the inside. So the sauce was great to dip into like you do a biscotti into coffee to soften the knots up a bit. As for the pizza fries... I don't know what to think about those... basically fries covered in pizza sauce and cheese. My side salad was basic chopped iceberg, I almost suspect out of a bag and not very fresh. The fried chicken was a preformed probably frozen patty which wasn't even warm when I tried it. And, they forgot the dressing with my pick-up order. Kinda sucks when you're traveling and don't have a fridge with any available dressing. I read good things about the pizza, so if someone orders some I might give it a try, but for now, the search for a good Italian sauce continues. read more

While Pete's has good pizza, you have to ask for well done. Don't waste your money on Heros. We ordered 2 whole Italian Specials for $11. They were supposed to have "ham, salami pepperoni, provolone +. They barely had one slice of salami, no peperoni, lots of lettuce. Lot's of bread but not much filling. They were terrible and we could not finish them. read more

This place has amazing pizza, I don't know what else to say. I'm originally from New Jersey and New York, and this place saves me the cost of a flight back home. Seriously so good, the pizza. I got a cheese slice, a white slice, and a cannoli before going back up to the counter for a Sicilian. They hooked it up! Excellent work!!! I'm stuck here for school but having found real NY style pizza in Daytona beach, makes it a lot easier. I wish I had a pic of the pizza but it was gone in 2 sec. read more

They have great food and good deliveries service, I have always had great outcome with them and the best sauce ever, however I called them today with a special request which was quite simple and is delicious, and maybe should be on the menu, a spaghetti and meatball calzone, basically an order of spaghetti n meatballs cooked in calzone shell with a little mozzarella, no big deal, them said nope , they won't do it, ok, like really, what's the big deal? And the guy was so pompas!!! read more

We really enjoyed our pizza, garlic knots and fries. Thank you to the nice let that delivered to us. We didn't realize we were outside of the delivery area, since we're from Atlanta. She dropped it to us on her way home. Thank you!!!! Definitely will support a business that went above and beyond for us! read more

I was excited to try Pete's Pizza after reading good reviews. Maybe I went on a bad night? I ordered Pete's Special pizza and was anticipating a typical NY style crust. The crust was so chewy that my jaw was popping and I struggled to finish the first slice. I expected a slice that was crispy on the edge but supple enough under the toppings to be folded when you eat it. My pizza did NOT fold, it was more like breaking. Since i was still hungry, I decided to try another piece. I threw the pizza out that night. I haven't even started describing the taste, or should I say the LACK of taste? The sauce was flavorless. The sausage was bland too. I'm really not a tough critic. I really love pizza, but this was probably the worst I've ever had, and I've lived in 7 different a states. THAT is a lot of different pizza places that I have tried over the years! I also ordered hot wings. I'm not lying, those wings were so tough! It was hard to believe that I was that "lucky" to strikeout with the pizza AND the wings. They seemed rubbery and hard to chew, just like the pizza. I was extremely disappointed. The flavor was okay. The chicken was overlooked, in my opinion. I'm not trying to slam the business, in general. I'm just trying to give a true account of MY experience. Plain and simple. I wish Pete's Pizza nothing but success, but I will not return. No hard feelings, but I wish I had the $28 back that I spent. I could have had a really great meal somewhere else with that money. read more

The food was great, however I had no copy of my order so I don't know if I made an error or they did, I was fairly certain I ordered, among others things, 2 side salads and 2 pieces of cheesecake, I got one of each. It was a delivery via grub hub and the order was done online. I really didn't know how to verify one way or the other, but this isn't the first time I did not get what I ordered. I don't think I will get delivery again, I'll either pick it up and verify or do something else. read more
