My late husband loved Santelli and they were so kind to both of us and to the Hampton Inn when we're staying there when our home was being renovated and my husband was dying. So I have loyalty ties to them but most importantly it's quality food and great customer service. read more

First time stopping in and discovered a new favorite pizza spot. The pizza was good and we enjoyed being able to eat something other than just the norms like pepperoni pizza. I enjoyed the variety and being able to enjoy Artisan Pizzas, the salads were huge and tasty. The grands enjoyed their meals and look forward to making their own pizza in the future! We left with multiple left overs and stuffed. The staff was friendly but forgot a few items and we had to ask several times to get them. The place is busy and small, so seating is at a premium and hard to find during busy lunch and dinner times. Ambiance is loud but doable. read more

We haven't dined-in here yet, but we have ordered pizza for pickup several times and we're never disappointed. Their version of supreme, the il capo - is by far our favorite pizza! The employees have always been very nice and welcoming when we call and pick up as well - and they have military discount, which is awesome for my fellow service members out there. read more

We've been on the hunt for a good pizza place for a long time. My partner and I ordered the Sopranos and Sicilian pizza and both were very good. The dough wasn't super heavy and the toppings were perfect. We also appreciated that the bottom wasn't burned which seems to happen often in our area. This is our new spot! read more

So we have been coming here for over a year mostly on Thursdays for pizza with the family. The pizzas are usually good, we like the cauliflower crust and the special wine night prices they had on Thursdays. So a few weeks ago, they added a service charge for credit card transactions which I rarely see at sit down restaurants. We're part of their rewards program and normally earn rewards for our dinners and apply to get a discount. Today we come in and they raised the wine from $9 to $12.5, on top of I look at the menu and ask if they raised the prices and they dodge my question but I see all prices about $3 more. Our bill just went from around $70 after applying rewards to $90 today and they tell me their new system won't let me earn or apply rewards. Last week we spent over $100 and lost the discount from that! Then their new system tries to add a 20% tip automatically today what??!! Overall a rude way to raise prices in every single way possible all at once! Then on top of that this summer the AC hardly works and it's sweltering inside! No thank you, we won't be back and they lost a loyal family!!! read more

Always get the soprano, add peppers and usually it's fantastic. This time it was one of the best pizzas my wife and I ever tasted. Keep doing what you're doing read more

I ordered a large pepperoni pizza for pickup, paid my tab, brought it home, and it was cheese only. I called back and she told me I only ordered a plain cheese pizza (I never order cheese only). In a very rude tone she asked "What do you want? You want to pickup a new pepperoni pizza?" and I said yes, thinking they were remaking it to make the order correctly. When my husband arrived, they charged him for an entire new pizza. Extremely extremely disappointing customer service. And the pizza was greasy and flavorless. read more

Super fresh toppings, sauce and crust good not amazing but will definitely be back. It's hard to find a place that uses cremini mushrooms! Plus, if you want toppings on half of a pie they don't charge you for the whole thing like some places. read more

In the area running some errands and found this little gem on Yelp. I'm not a big NY style pizza guy and, as best that I could tell, that's the style here. Instead, the crust was crispy and easily held up the topping. Totally blown away by the pizza we got. It's "order at the counter" so not much service interactions, but when we did, they were friendly and wanted to make sure your visit was a good one. Nice looking place, well lit, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Compact space but efficiently laid out. Food brought to you but you're expected to bus your own dishes. read more

Oh yes it's ladies night and the feelings right! Yes it's ladies night oh what a night! Are you singing now? Good. Then you'll remember that ladies night is every Thursday (I don't know what time specifically but I try to get here around 8ish.) They serve beer and even better, wine on tap at discounted prices on Thursday. Along with the discounted alcohol, they have certain apps and pizzas on special as well. The prosciutto and goat cheese with arugula is my favorite. Since it's baked in a wood fire oven, the prosciutto gets crispy and is reminiscent of crispy bacon. The dough is cooked perfectly and always comes out the right texture, and never burnt like some wood fire places do. The pasta fagioli soup has a hint of sour to it but it's a pleasant sour almost like the lime added in a Thai soup or lemon in a Greek avgolemono soup. I always finish my meal off with the cannoli which has a rich sweet ricotta filling and a good crunchy shell. The place is clean and I love how they provide all the pizza necessities on the counter: red pepper flakes, parmesean, extra plates, and to go boxes for your left overs. I never have to wait to ask for these things which is super convenient with how busy they can get. They have outdoor seating and ample parking. It's my favorite pizza joint in the Odessa area; especially on Thursdays. You're welcome. You can thank me with a glass of pinot noir if you see me having a slice or two.... read more

A nice little place with indoor and outdoor seating. The menu has pizza and various pasta dishes. You can even get pizza by the slice if you want. There are also bottles of soda, beer, a soda fountain and some wine as well. The place is very clean and well maintained. It is the type of place where you place your order at the counter and they will bring it to your table. Our first time here we ordered a large pizza which came to the table in a timely fashion. The good news is the pizza was really good. In my opinion it is a thin crust and stiff enough where you can pick up the entire slice with no issue and not have it flopping about. I also like the root beer from the fountain, it was really good. We will certainly be back again. read more

On a quest to find some fresh Italian cuisine. Don't look any further. My brother raved about santellis chicken parmigiana pasta. We also ordered pizza which is a top tier pie. Staff was very helpful in recommending delicious appetizers and entrees. Must try garlic parmigiana wings with fresh homemade garlic butter. Got a 6 piece to taste but quickly regretted I should've ordered a 12 piece. we ordered takeout but they also have nice indoor / outdoor family setting. read more

Drove there for take out. The place was nice and clean and well maintained. The staff was very friendly. The pizza..,.. mhew, it was your below average pizza that is so typical for Florida. I'll keep searching and hopefully find something that compares to Philly or New York's Pizza, and will update you all once I find it. read more

Great place for a weeknight dinner, pizza for a crowd and great chicken parm! Service is always friendly and feels like a neighborhood hangout. Cozy Italian restaurant that makes casual dining so enjoyable! read more

Stopped for a bite for lunch. Got some slices which were very good. Had couple glasses of wine to. Nice casual place.

let's talk pizza and how it should be served.. if i order a slice the counter person should be able to take the slice from the freshly made pie and serve not have to wait 10 minutes for someone working the oven to cut it and serve it. received my slice, should've taken longer, absolute trash, the dough had no taste, sauce was non existent, luckily they don't claim to do "NY Style" otherwise i would have tossed back over the counter. read more

So excited Santelli is open! I ordered two pizzas for takeout on a weekday for lunch and they were ready in the estimated 15-20 minute time frame. We ordered the Sicilia pizza topped with breaded eggplant and roasted garlic, and a plain cheese pizza for the kids. The Sicilia was great! The cheese was creamy and the garlic packed a punch of flavor. I may add oregano or pepper next time to give it a tiny bit more flavor, but that's just due to the subtle flavors of mozzarella and ricotta. The cheese pizza was good but it might have been cooked a couple seconds or minutes too long as it was a little crispier than the eggplant pizza. I'd be back again and look forward to trying more menu items! read more

I was excited to try this restaurant but I was a little disappointed. I ordered a pasta dish and my husband ordered a pizza. They brought my pasta out about 15 minutes before his pizza - so we ended up sharing the pasta. It didn't come with a side salad, just a piece of boring white bread - not garlic or toasted or anything. The pasta was delicious - but it wasn't hot. It was room temperature. My husband finally received his pizza and it was pretty good, but pretty basic. The thing I liked the least was the ambience. It's a cold, stark atmosphere. The chairs are hard and loud as they scratch across the black and white tile floor. The tables are too close to one another. We were the only ones in there at first and several tables hadn't been bussed so there were only a few open. The floors still had food on them and there was sausage from a pizza on the window sill. You have to order at the counter and they bring your food to you. It was very pricey for not being a nice sit down restaurant. It felt dirty and loud and when another family came in they were so close to us. Their child was loud and had a phone on watching cartoons loudly as well. Again, tables are too close together. Think of Chipotle's atmosphere...industrial, unfinished ceiling with air ducts. If you are looking for a nice, romantic little bistro for an Italian dinner...this isn't it. This is a cafeteria feel, loud, but decent food...if you don't mind eating your meal alone while you wait for the spouse's meal to arrive... read more

I was in the mood for a great pizza. Having grown up in Phila, it is hard to find a competitive pizza in all of Florida so having to temper expectations is the name of the game. I found Santelli to be on the better side of good but not the best. The cheese and sauce are balanced well, but the crust just isn't the best. It's not sift but not crispy. If you reheat at home you will find it crispy. I might also state that the mushrooms are skimpy. You may find you need a magnifying glass to find them on part of your pie. All that said I rate this a 3.5 which is good for a Fla pizza. read more

Santelli's Pizza is the best pizza in the Odessa and Trinity area. Owner operator on premise. I'm old school Italian from NY and I give it a tremendous thumbs up. Matt and Michelle are the owners and do a tremendous job with the entire restaurant. read more

I can became nostalgic when I discovered this gem of a place. The closest thing to NY/NJ pizza and takeout I've had in Florida yet!!! I love Florida but the Pizza and Chinese isn't that great down here, except for Santelli's!!! I'll take the 50 minute drive any day I can just to get real NY style pizza from here. Bravissimo!!!! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE the pizza here!!!!! We moved down here from NY a few years ago and finding a pizza place that reminded us of NY was super difficult until we found Santelli's. The pizza is almost a copycat of what we would eat in NY. The best part is, we were talking with the owners, and they are from NY! So they get the importance of good pizza!!! Love it, highly recommend! read more

I live in CT and wanted a tray of Lasagna delivered to my niece in Odessa FL. By chance I called Santelli's. The were so helpful and courteous . They also printed up a nice card for me, and had it delivered. The group loved The Lasagna and a the abundance of bread included. Thank you Santelli' s came through like a champ!! read more

The only positive thing I can say about their pizza is that it looks good. Other than that it was a big disappointment. We had the regular crust and it was tasteless. Almost like cardboard. The pizza sauce was really skimpy. We were there for dinner on a Thursday and it was empty. I understand why after tasting this pizza. Also they were out of all of their signature sodas and to top it off they don't serve Coke products. One star is being generous. read more

Now this is a business I love to support. Every time, I mean every time I go to this restaurant I have great service. This is a order at the front counter and then your food will be delivered to you type of restaurant. Not a specifically assigned waiter or waitress. From the front counter to the people who deliver the food to your table as well as the cooks behind the counter everyone is friendly and helpful. The pizza is always on point crispy on the bottom. Chewy crust on the inside just enough cheese not to make it overly gooey. Cesar salad is fantastic and homemade chocolate chip cookies are always a hit. We have made this our regular stop on our way home from horseback riding. Highly recommend! read more

"Bringing New York Flavors to the Sunshine State" is what you'll immediately see should you visit this Italian eatery's webpage. Its hours are 11 AM till 9 PM Sunday thru Thursday, & 11 AM till 10 PM Fridays & Saturdays. Opened approximately one month, this self-described "fast-casual" eatery offers up traditional Italian dishes, but you'll also find 6 red wines, 6 white wines, 6 bottled beers, & rotating draft beers. Organic milk/chocolate milk; Jones Soda; Sparkling Water; Pure Leaf Organic Teas; Voss; & fountain sodas round out the beverages. All are offered in a clean setting that includes an overhead menu, modern lighting, a nifty soda machine (see pic), wooden tables, a shiny & clean black & white checkered tile floor, & three funky 70s-retro furniture pieces for those awaiting their Take Out orders. Better yet is the covered side patio, which was forever filled as I scouted the area & awaited my NY Style pie! My 12" pie w/ extra sauce & extra cheese was VERY GOOD. Although it didn't have much in the way of extras, it was nevertheless delicious. The crust was perfect-- the perfect combination of crunch & chew! The sauce & cheese were fresh & flavorful, w/ just the right amount of grease gathering atop. (Being a newly opened restaurant, I will assume the next time I order extra sauce & cheese, I'll get it, & I won't be told they've run out of paper menus:) I have faith! Also on the menu are Small Plates (7); Pastas (4); Salads (4); Heroes (4); Sides (5); Desserts (2); Artisan Pizzas (7); & Build Your Own Pizzas w/ Regular, Gluten-free, & Cauliflower crusts. The pies are offered in a variety of sizes depending on the type of crust. TWENTY-FIVE toppings are on the menu! And ORGANIC & VEGAN mozzarellas are available! I spoke w/ four staffers, all whom were VERY friendly. However, the restaurant's owner (or manager) walked just feet from me at the counter, made direct eye contact w/ me, but said nothing. I was surprised. (This middle aged man was shown up by his younger staff. Lol:) This new Italian eatery is already popular; patrons were coming in & going out. The outside patio is an aestetically pleasing dining area for those w/ canines, Covid fears, & high-energy children. Located close to a Publix & on my drive to the west coast of Pasco County, I'll definitely return should I be in the area & desire my favorite food-- NY style pizza! Congrats to management for the excellent start. Kudos! read more

Ordered out on a Saturday night at 4 pm. Very friendly service on the phone. Pizzas took a very reasonable 25 minutes to prepare. Inside the shop is clean and open. Service on arrival very friendly and attentive. We ordered a quattro carne and build your own pepperoni, peppers, and olives. Both pizzas were hot, with fresh, good quality ingredients. All in our party were pleased with the product. I don't live here but I suspect the folks I was visiting will return. I recommend you give it a try. read more

Food is good Services so so. When you enter, you, give your order at the counter and are given a number to take to your table. We ordered pasta and a salad. When it was brought to us, we were not giving any silverware. We had to go inside to get our own plastic ware. I asked the server for regular silverware, and he said it was all dirty. He never returned. I see a lot of people taking food out. Maybe that is the way to go. read more
