Parking sucks no spots for pick up Gave us the wrong Stromboli it was loaded with onions and the one we ordered didn't say it had onions on it and no pepperoni No dressing for my salad Was not going back to have them correct our order since I had to drive around till someone left so I could park and run in and pick up the to go order. read more

I tried this place probably a year ago & finally got my husband to go. It's very nice inside. Our server was Brook & she was very nice & attentive. We started with breadsticks of course which were fresh baked & delicious. We split a Greek salad, very fresh ingredients & tasty. We each had a 12" personal pizza, his had one with pepperoni & jalapeños (it was supposed to be to have mushrooms but it was so good he didn't mind. I had a Hawaiian personal pizza. The crust was very good, not soggy or too thick just the right texture. We will definitely be back read more

Still enjoy coming for pizza at this Pioneer location, but it has started lacking. Service was always a strong point for them, but service last week was pretty bad. Waitress struggled with English so couldn't understand us and we couldn't understand her. Had to flag down other employees to help us out. This gal should not be waiting tables! Never received the garlic breadsticks they typically bring out. Pizza and stromboli are still tasty. This time tried the salad with raspberry vinaigrette dressing and it was possibly the worst dressing I've ever had. Of course I asked those with me to taste it as well to see if it was my taste buds or the product. Nobody enjoyed it - it pretty much looks/tastes like jello & is so pungent it made the salad inedible. Even the person known for eating about anything refused to eat it. This was probably our 2nd time eating here where we noticed it wasn't quite a good as it used to be. Hoping things can be turned around. read more

Very good pizza and wings, Also a full menu. Good service and reasonable prices. Large indoor and patio in the back also. read more

Pioneers Pizza has two or three spots in the Charlotte, Punta Gorda area and is family oriented. Serving a variety of pizza combinations along with many other Italian dishes in a New York style , it has become a popular place for pizza. My review is on takeout a few times that we have ordered only,and my family and I were pleased with the everything we ordered.. try it out it is well ahead of the normal chains. read more

What a great surprise Pioneers Pizza was. I have driven pie this place no less than 100 times and did not even know what it was there. We were not in the moon for pizza, but we had pasta and it was absolutely delicious. Everything was perfect. Nice wine selection and the service was outstanding. I would highly recommend this location. A nice little bar very clean very comfortable, not loud very pleasant. read more

Another restaurant we tried was Pioneer Pizza in Punta Gorda, Florida. It was me, my brother and sister. I have to say the service was good and quick, but the waitress could've been a little bit more friendly. Now, maybe joke around a little bit have a little fun with serving. But the pizza was amazing. I loved it thin crust great fresh vegetables on it. We really enjoyed it. I ordered a Sprite soda. It tasted just like salsa water so it needed to be changed. I told the waitress about it and she was on it in seconds took care of it right away. I have to say overall it was a great experience. I recommend the Pizza highly. read more

We have ordered twice for lunch. The delivery has been on time both times. We had the bruschetta pizza the first time and it was absolutely delicious. We ordered the pepperoni pizza the second time. It was okay. Was either extremely hot still when put in box or they just tossed it in there. Wasn't cut all the way through and cheese was all over the place. read more

Pioneers Pizza - Pepperoni Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Punta Gorda, Florida

Stopped after a day at the beach. We'd read about it on Yelp. Parking was tight. We sat outside & there was a guy Dj-ing and singing. We ordered drinks. Hub's Yinglin was good. My pina colada was plain. Needed more pineapple/coconut. Plus it was overpriced. The large supreme pizza was really too big for two people, but it didn't come in a smaller size. Probably should have ordered it in a personal size. It was a very pretty pizza but under cooked by 2-3 minutes. Next time I'd ask for that to be done. The outside crust was tasty and help was good. Average pizza. read more

This was my first visit here on a slow Sunday evening; the 2 negatives about my experience are when I first walked in I noticed a putrid odor and it lasted the entire time. It smelled like a mix of sewer and mustiness. And it was a little warm, which made the smell even more obvious,the ac needed to be cooler. The pizza and breadsticks were excellent. Probably the best I've had in the area. 2nd and last negative is the service was not good. Our server kept forgetting about us, it was not busy at all. It'd take him 15-20 mins in between to Ck on us, as well as take our order. We were there for over 2 hrs due to the extremely slow service. I'm willing to give it another try and hope the odor is gone and service is better. read more

Overall: 4.0/5.0 stars Food: 4.5/5.0 Ordered calamari, XL pizza and a GF pizza. The calamari was yum! They were crispy and and little chewy on its own. But their sauce was *mwah* amazing. Definitely give it a try. The chefs were so accommodating! They split an XL pizza 3 ways for us with a small up charge. The pizza was also veryyy big. We got Jersey meatball, Greek and bruschetta pizza. Jersey meatball was pretty good. The meatball slices were a bit bland. Throw some chili flakes and parm on it, it was great though! The bruschetta pizza was yummy as well! The balsamic vinegar gave a nice tangy taste to counter the cheese. The Greek pizza had fresh ingredients and I'd definitely try again! The GF margarita pizza was ok. It was GF so the crust for a bit soggy. The sauce was on the sweeter side and the olive oil didn't have much of an aroma. Atmosphere 5/5 Nice place to go to watch sports! There's a bar with 3 large TVs as well as normal seating. The table and utensils were clean when we arrived. Service: 5/5 Our waitress was amazing. I didn't catch her name but she had blond hair and pretty eyes. She was very welcoming and patient. She did her best to accommodate us and was quick to react when we needed something. She was quick to refill our waters too without being asked. Awesome awesome! Covid precautions:2.0/5.0 Our waitress was properly wearing a mask the whole time and took proper precautions. The other waiter did not wear his mask properly. No point in wearing a mask if it's not over your nose. A lot of people weren't wearing their masks. The incidence rate of covid is low in this area, which is great, but the number of elderly is also very high. read more

Heard this new location in Punta Gorda had opened.... we stopped by for 11:30 lunch on a Wed. to try it out. A little early and it was not crowded at all. By the time we left, though..... it was pretty crowded. We were greeted by very friendly staff. We sat at the bar and Mike served us. What a really friendly guy.... the decor is a mixture of things, aquarium showing on one TV, the artwork on the wall is spectacular. Each time you look at it...you see something else. Pretty cool. We ordered pizza lunches. Husband ordered the Roman slices, and I ordered the NY Style. You get TWO slices. Awesome !! We did add some additional ingredients. Both were tasty and just as we remember from their Port Charlotte location. We heard that it gets crazy busy..... so we selected a slightly off time to go. It was perfect. YES, we will be back to order some other things on the menu. Next time..... We've got our eye on their Lasagna!! read more

I highly recommend this place! We've been living here just a year and tried different places around here and nothing compares! The food is excellent!

Stopped in with the family for lunch and ordered some slices. The NY slices are made with cheese and we ordered additional toppings. Pizza was good with a slightly crispy and chewy crust. Caesar salad was very fresh and very nice thick shaved parmesan cheese. They're only 10 minutes from I75 in Punta Gorda so I'd definitely come back passing through the area. read more

Well. Ordered meatball app. Food good. Issue is I asked for extra sauce. Ok. Pill cup delivered to table. Sauce very good. Got check 1.00 up charge. For two tablespoons of sauce. Hey you're going to charge a 1.00 for it fine. But at least give me the 1.00 worth of it. Sucks to have a customer leave feeling like that. Again food and sauce good. Reason for my two stars. Was the 1.00 up charge for a dimes worth of sauce. read more

By far best pizza in the area. Great place for dinner and just hanging out. The bar out back is very cool just to chill. A must place to stop if you live in the area of just visiting. Must stop by and check it out. My favorite is the jersey pizza add pepperoni. read more

The wing special was $.79 cents per wing which were done perfectly and very tasty . My problem is nickel and dimming you out of your money . Like I said wings were .79 cents. Why when I get my bill was there a charge for celery and blue cheese that I didn't order ?? The beer was reasonably priced ( around $4.00:for a draft . My wife had a mic ultra and I ordered a model from the same colum on the menu . Why wasn't I told that it was about $2.50 more than the ultra when I was ordering it ?? I paid by. credit card and there was an extra charge for that . I don't like feeling like they expect me to pay those extra charges hidden from me till the bill shows up . It isn't the few dollars more as I always give good tips but I will not be going there again to be taken advantage of read more

We have been to the other location and I was trying to delay going to the grocery so I decided to stop in for a bite. I sat at the bar where Michael was my bartender and server. He was great and friendly. You could see his regulars loved him. I wish he wasn't returning to the other location but one must go where they are needed I suppose. The pizza is the best in Florida. Seriously. And the 2 slice lunch special were just huge. Cooked perfectly. Chewy and crunchy at the same time. Healthy pour of wine. YASS! I saw everyone else's plates and even the salads looked divine. Had to take my second slice home. My husband was tickled. The owner was present and quite nice. read more

Pioneer does a fantastic job with their pizza. I met a friend for dinner, we are both connoisseur's of a good pizza. We each picked a personal size pizza, which by the way is 2x bigger than I was expecting. The pizza was fantastic, the pie was outstanding. The service was outstanding too. A sports bar atmosphere is the norm here along with a full bar. An unusual pizza establishment that appeals to all ages. Nice job. Pioneers Pizza! read more

Most patrons were at the bar so the restaurant area was quiet. The menu offered a pleasant variety of options. Began with the Goat Cheese appetizer. Presentation was for group sharing. Pita was just right with a crunch however the toasted goat cheese tasted more like farmers cheese. Next personal pizzas for everyone. The first few "hot" bites were delicious with the pull on the slice and feel of cheese sliding down your mouth. Yummm. Reminiscent of those first bites into NYC pizza (without all the oil). Very disappointing to find the dough was disproportioned so the crust was like toast in the middle! Service was attentive. read more

I had the BBQ Chicken Pizza. It was a very good alternative to Italian Pizza. Lots of Chicken chunks bathed in barbecue sauce made this pizza a great selection! Fast service, great food choices and a great atmosphere brings us back! read more

We have been ordering pizza from this place since they first opened their PC location. Usually very good. New place in PG is very nice. However the last two pizzas we got to go from the Ounya Gorda ship we're not up to the usual standards. Undercooked and hardly a trace of tomato sauce. Both were on a Sunday night. Maybe the B crew works then. Let's watch quality control Pioneers. If I want bad pizza ii'll go down the street. read more

I have ordered here many times before and have never been disappointed. Last couple of times pizza was just okay Hopefully today was a fluke. Usually New York style pizza does have the , what I call , strings from the mozzarella. The blend of cheeses must have changed. Minimal amount of mozzarella . The topping was actually crumbly. Did not enjoy at all. They started out strong , just don't know what's happening read more

VERY DELICIOUS PLACE. I ordered a 12 inch personal pizza and it came out delicious!!!! Omg I could only eat 3 slices and then for dinner I had the other 3 slices. Absolutely delicious! The crust is crispy and thin. Next time I will order your Plain Pizza because it looked delicious. Haven't tried the other stuff on the menu but I bet you that it is good. Below is a picture when I was at the restaurant. The lighting is kinda bad but it was very good and cheesy. The other photo is at 9:00 at night and I was hungry. I threw my pizza in the oven at 350 for 10 minutes and omg it was so good. The cheese was so stretchy. I am obsessed with how good this place was. I may just go back and get the same thing lol.

This was our first visit to the Punta Gorda location; we were hopeful it could live up to the reputation of its parent establishment in Pt Charlotte. They did not disappoint!!!! We actually liked the dining room atmosphere better at this location lots of TV, comfortable seating, bright, and spotless! Our waiter was very attentive and brought out our food in perfect order. We never had to ask for anything as he kept on top of all his tables. The pizza seemed even better than PC location, if that is possible! The toppings were piled on all the way to the edge and the crust was perfectly cooked. The pizza is not saucy, so if you like your sauce, make sure to ask for it a bit wetter, although you don't really notice the minimal sauce as the toppings are over the top. We also ordered a salad to split. Three people can easily share the salad. And now, let's talk about the breadsticks! My gosh, a pregnant woman could drive her husband bonkers craving these! I just have no words to people describe how completely delectable these breadsticks are. Yes they are handmade in the restaurant and it makes this old lady want to come out of retirement to work there, just to have my daily dose of yeast heaven. The table near us all had meals and they were remarking as we have how huge the portions are and how delicious the food is. The beer selection is vast and delicious. Enjoy a glass of Big Top, a refreshing local treat. We had a cannoli for dessert. Again, colossally created, stuffed full of deliciousness and beautifully presented. Do NOT skip dessert! This truly has to be one of the best italian restaurants in the area. One of these days I have to break down and order something other than pizza, or get a pizza half baked to take home! read more
