Another date night pick to try something new. This is not just "another pizza place". The Hawaiian pizza was thoroughly enjoyed by my 11 year old. The table next to us was ordering gluten free and I was surprised to hear all the options available.
So for the other dishes we tried:
Burrata with the Balsamic Glaze - excellent starter. Once I explained to my young date that Burrata was just a creamier Mozzerella he was willing to try. He loved it!
Coffee Paolo - adventurous pizza that hopefully the caffeine doesn't keep me up. Coffee grounds (looks like pepper), tomato sauce, blue cheese, spicy salami... surprisingly this was VERY good. It smelt burnt, but that was just the Coffee. Definetly something fun to try - we got the small, just in case.
Claudio - the server recommended this. The creamy burrata with truffle oil and Basil. The best of the pizzas we ordered in my opinion. This one was different for me because it wasn't hot and I like my pizzas hiy... but its not supposed to be and honestly doesn't need to be. It was our favorite and we are looking forward to bringing family back to try this.
Josephs Favorite - Nutella and Banana Calzone. Hot, creamy Nutella with Bananas, thin calzone crust and powdered sugar. Yep, nothing to complain about and another reason to return!
The service was great. They worked as a team so we didn't have just one server. They all knew the menu well and made recommendations when we asked. Drinks stayed full and everyone seemed to be happy to be there!
If you want to dine in with a big party, it could work. The tables need a little adjusting as our neighbors chair was back to back with one of ours. But nothing too terrible, just something I noticed. The decor is a little trendy/minimalistic. Fortunately the wall art gives you a little history about the place - which adds value to your experience.
Overall it was a great date night and a place we look forward to sharing...
Read moreMister O1 "Extraordinary Pizza" stands as a sophisticated and authentic Italian pizza restaurant, offering a selection of artisanal Italian-style pizzas, appetizers, and salads.
Distinguishing itself from conventional Italian-American eateries, Mister O1 embodies a genuine pizzeria experience crafted by a chef directly hailing from Italy. What sets their pizzas apart is the importation of flour from Italy, resulting in an exceptionally light and fresh texture that defies the heaviness often associated with traditional pizzas. Enjoying an entire pie becomes a delightful experience without the typical post-pizza heaviness.
Put it this way: if you like thin pizza, this place is for you!
Their signature star-shaped pizzas, featuring eight points crafted by expertly cutting and folding the pie's edges to create a crust with ricotta-filled pockets, reign as the top-selling items. With over 10 vegetarian options available, including a gluten-free cauliflower crust and vegan cheese alternatives, Mister O1 caters to a diverse array of dietary preferences while maintaining a commitment to quality and innovation. And of course, they have meat lovers pizza too.
We find ourselves coming back here time and time again. If you haven’t been and you’re reading this, stop what you’re doing and come try it....
Read moreHoly moly, Naples, THIS is pizza. If you've ever had the pleasure of eating at one of the east coast locations like Wynwood, and lament that we never get the really good places to eat, lament no more! We have Mister O1 now. On the SWFL side. Pizza dreams DO come true. Yes, it's more expensive than others around here but it's worth it. The Star Laina is my favorite, and the kitchen makes sure to package the balsamic glaze and the spicy oil in containers so you can drizzle the way you want. Oooh, so good. I usually do not eat much, but I could eat about one half of a Star Laina myself. This crust. . .oh my goodness. It is fantastic. And I love how the star pizzas are made with the folded pocket to hold something delicious. SO good. We end up getting two pizzas to feed a teenager and two adults, and there's never any leftovers. That's the only problem. My husband and son go to pick it up and say that they're incredibly courteous and friendly inside. They also tell me that the place seems busy, which is a good sign for all of us who live here full-time and do not want to have to depend on the snowbirds to make or break a restaurant. But. . .season is almost upon us, so locals, we know what to do. . .go enjoy these restaurants before it becomes impossible to get a...
