    Veggie pizza and a lemon drop martini
    Kelley H.

    I love this place. Nestled right in the heart of downtown Cocoa right near the river. They have an upstairs dining, which is outside great views of the river. Also, there's a bar up there. They also have a happy hour. Half off appetizers. I love their cheese pizza there. It's one of my favorites. Inside can get kind of loud, but it's a good time. You can also see the river from the inside as well. They also have outdoor seating on the sidewalk outside of the restaurant. Great place for everybody.

    Garlic Knots

    Ryan's Pizza and Pub is in a great location near the riverfront in Historic Cocoa Village. When you walk in, you definitely feel the Irish Pub ambiance and casual environment. We ordered the Garlic Knots based on a reco from a friend and we were not disappointed. Half order served up 5 large, soft, garlicky goodness with really fresh and tasty marinara! Our server recommended the Alfredo, and it was good, but not really worth it for a few extra dollars. The pizza was excellent; I tried a bite of my husband's meat lovers. I ordered the fish and chips and the fish was a large, fresh piece with light batter. I don't really know why you'd serve it with literal chips, so I paid extra for fries which I think is a miss. The side of coleslaw was basically two bites in a cup, hardly think you can call that a "side." It came with cocktail sauce and not tartar sauce, but my sweet server said she confused the two. Once I got the tartar sauce and malt vinegar - it was all good! I would definitely go back, I just rated it a little lower because of the side charges and overall cost is a bit high.

    Cocoa Beach-Saw the mediocre reviews, but we really wanted to have a fantastic view so we decided to give this place a shot! It was GREAT! Service was outstanding. Our drinks, refreshing and delicious! I had an Orange Crush and my GF had a Pina Colada. We split a basket of fish bites. WOWZA!! They were really fresh, with fresh super white fish. Coleslaw and fries were good too. I'm excited to go back and try more items, but I definitely will dream about those fish bites until I eat them again!

    Tipped Collins - good
    Amanda P.

    Cool vibe and environment with live music and right on Indian Riverfront with a public park next door and plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Service was okay. Food was disappointing. Known for pizza. The crust was crispy but flavorless and the toppings were barely cooked (look at the cheese in the pics!) and the peppers etc were not even cut up. Also had fries. Stale and over cooked. Ranch was legit and the drink (Tipped Collins) was okay. Go for the vibe but keep the food basic. The pepperoni pizza someone else got looked way better than mine. Salads looked okay too. Love the view and location it that's the selling point IMO. Good price though. No tourist gouging which I appreciate.

    Garlic Knots

    3 of us came over to Ryan's on a Friday around 4-4:30pm. We went upstairs to the bar/patio area because we wanted to enjoy the weather. So many other people had the same idea! The entire patio was shoulder to shoulder and we were lucky to snag 3 spots at the bar. Our first bartender was not prompt or friendly, but her relief was pleasant and helpful. The food was fantastic and we thought the prices were fair for the location. The garlic knots with alfredo come in both full and half sizes. We ordered the half and thought the portion size was massive. The chicken Caesar wrap was warm and delicious. You have the option to grill, blacken, buffalo style your chicken. My bf had a burger and said it was different, but good. His friend had the sausage parm and it came out hot and quickly. Parking is difficult because it's mostly parallel street parking on the main downtown road and then a little walking to get to Ryan's. I wouldn't let it deter you from stopping in, though!

    Pretty good slice with no flop for Florida pizza and being a NYer! I'll go to say best slice on the island! Staff super attentive. Great experience and Ty!

    Lots of Toppings in certain areas, none on others

    Been here a few times and their food is good. Cold drinks in a nice open patio upstairs. Service has been consistently good. However, one night we ordered pizza to takeout and when we got home the pizza was a disaster. Looks like they basically threw each topping in one spot or another in the pizza. Some spots had a whole bunch of topping, some had none. Our fault for not checking while there, so lesson learned. Other than that one time, it's a nice soot to hang out, enjoy the sun and good vibes. They also sponsor a lot of community events, so I like supporting businesses like that.

    Service was good. Slices are large and a great value for $5+. I had the combo that included a Ceaser salad for $9. I recommend skipping the salad as I have never had a Ceaser with cherry tomatoes and mozzarella cheese but it was lackluster and had very little dressing on it. The slices were all served piping hot and they were tasty. We ordered a slice of pepperoni, a slice of cheese and a slice of white + pepperoni added. We all enjoyed the pizza and the garlic knots. A large order of knots was too many for a party of three but served hot and fresh with lots of garlic butter and red sauce. The sweet tea was not good so traded that out for a soda. Place was clean and bustling with a good view of the water. Nice cool stop in on such an exceedingly HOT day.

    Chili Chili Cheese Dog with French fries

    We sat upstairs, which has a great view of the Indian River and the park. This time I ordered 2 Chili Cheese dogs with fries. They were very good. I would recommend this place. There is a good variety on the menu and a good selection of beer to choose from too.

    Ryan's Pizza 4 Harrison St. Suite 100 Cocoa, FL 32922 3.5 Stars Ryan's Pizza in Cocoa exudes a warm, welcoming, fun vibe from the minute you enter. The joint is vibrant, clean and well-spaced. Jordan was my server today and she was charming, friendly and knowledgeable. I asked Jordan for 6 Bone-in Wings with their Golden BBQ sauce, an order of beer-battered Fish and Chips, a slice of White pizza and a slice of Deep Dish. Looking about the place, I noticed that on Tuesday, they offered 32 oz. Margarita's for a heckuva price! They have an excellent deal on tacos in today's economy, too. I didn't try their tacos, so I can't speak to them, but if they follow suit, they should be tasty. It wasn't long before Jordan was seen returning with my grub. After snapping a few pics for y'all, I eagerly got to work as the aromas arising were heading straight to my appetite. First up on the Big Boy's punctilious palate were the wings. I don't know about you, but I love finger food. Fixing my fingers around a plump wing, I got to work. To quote Monty Python, "Blimey!" My taste buds were wrapped in the loving embrace of some of the most delicious sauce to ever grace my palate. Wow. My insides were swimming in love. The wings were juicy and cooked to perfection and, once again, adorned with my new favorite BBQ sauce. I had to force myself to move on, but only after I snuck in another wing or four. Hacking off a bite of the Beer battered Haddock, I dipped it in some industrial tartar sauce and commenced tasting. The fish was of a higher frozen grade than most places and, as such, was better than average. The chips, as they were, were not your typical french fries but the oft sought-after "waffle fries." These were fried to a succulent golden brown and were incredibly delicious. The coleslaw was your average food service slaw -- nothing to write about. This brings me to the star of the show, at least the only food item in their name, the slices of pizza. If I am wrong that there is an afterlife and I end up down-under performing penance for my sins, I am absolutely sure I will be force-fed pizza for eternity. It would beshrew me down worse if it's terrible pizza. Ryan's pizza was not "bad," but it was not that good either. The crust was bland, the sauce was as flavorful as the crust and the cheese was cheese. I found this shocking as the other items were fantastic and as I mentioned, pizza is in their name. This applies to both slices sampled. The Big Boy says, "For a pizza place, their pie fell flat. Go for the wings, fish and drink specials."

    What's up, Amy?  We are coming to see you soon.

    Come here for cold food and friendly-yet-don't-give-a-fuck service. If you can't deep fry and get shit out on time then be honest about it.

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!
