Pizza 2000 — Restaurant in Florida

Wow, where do I begin. I had to wait a few weeks before writing this so as not to self-destruct with anger.

Pizza is ok, similar to DHOP, as you can see from the pic it 'looks' good, but of course they put mushrooms on one which no one asked for or eats in our house, seating space is limited, but that is not the reason for 1-star, it just kind of adds to it.

We decided to try something new, something local, so we order on the phone, be ready in about 20-30 minutes. Perfect. Get there a little early, cashier looks at the kitchen, nope, not ready yet. As it was busy, I said I would sit on their bench outside the door and wait there.

25 minutes go by, I was playing Clash of Clans on my phone, so I go in and check, another cashier/waitress wonders what I am doing just waiting around the register and tell her I have already paid for my order just waiting for it to be done. She has no idea what I am talking about. No one in the kitchen knows what I am talking about - they have no order for me and seem to thinks it is funny based on the smirk of the manager? head cook? guy who walks around in the kitchen?

After it was deduced that they never even started the order from when we CALLED IT IN, the 2nd waitress asked me if I even still wanted the pizza. What? It's Friday night, I have waited for at least 40 minutes here for our dinner and you ask me if I want it?

Yes, yes please, I will take this so I can go home and eat. When the pizza is finally done (I had been physically there for an hour now) the cook bringing it out yells out if I was still there to get the pizza and started laughing about it, then makes eye contact with me and keeps laughing. I was not smiling. I was not laughing. I just took my pizza and left.

I realize it was Friday night and you are busy. I realize maybe the cooks were new and mistakes happen, but you don't smirk about it to your customers or make them feel like they are the reason YOU messed up.

Yes, they did comp the meal, I did not ask for it, but I will not go back to this pizza place. I couldn't imagine how good a pizza would have to be to endure this type of behavior.

So yeah, I am sure many ppl have come here and it's been great. We cannot say the same in...

I wish we had tried this place out sooner!! We looked at a few places online before deciding where to go. This sounded like what we wanted so we decided to give it a shot. We arrived and there was a 50th Birthday party going on, but they said they left a couple of tables open for everyone else. I'm so glad we decided to stay because it was incredible!! The house salad (yes, just a house salad) was probably the best plain salad I've ever had in my life. The pizza was even better. The crust was thinish, but just the right amount of crispy and chewy. The sauce and all the toppings were superb. The birthday party didn't hinder the experience whatsoever, and the service we got was fantastic!! The little ice cream truffles for desert were on point. My family will definitely be coming back here! We were very pleasantly surprised at how great it really was. It's the little things that make a pizza place good, and this place had all of them.... Even the cheese in the shakers was better than everyone else's. Go check it out!!

Edit: after holding off for a long time on going since they dont really take any covid measures seriously, we tried it again and it was noticeably not as good. I don't know if they got new owners or what, but our recent order was less than stellar. The clam and bacon was made wrong (with red sauce), and our all meat pizza only had pepperoni and sausage. The salad was strange too, with the lettuce being huge uncut leaves and it was just off. This place was our favorite, but now I'm not so sure. Maybe they were just having an off day or something, but for the price, I expected more and was disappointed. I noticed one terrible review try to blame the inflated costs on Joe Biden (lol), which is completely ridiculous. I think something has changed there and I hope they can be as good as I remember. I'm going to try again soon and see. I'll update my review after. They still get 4 stars, because despite there being a few errors, it's...

I was here several years ago and remember good pizza/food. I wanted to try again last night hoping to again have a good meal. Ordered a large house special pizza . When we got our pizza I was disappointed just in its appearance. There was essentially no Cornicione ( crust) . The Cornicione was almost black, dark dark brown, no rise , it was like a cracker . The bottom was as bad as. IT WAS A DISASTER, DISGRACE to pizza making and worse than store bought frozen pizza. I’m an amateur pizza maker learning the art of Neapolitan pizza and know a little bit about the art of making the dough , stretching, pizza oven and baking pizza . The bread served with our mussels was light , airy, tasty . I’m assuming it’s the same dough for the pizza so it makes me feel that the problem is WITH THE PIZZA MAKER (Pizzaiolo) . I LOOKED AT EACH PIZZA COMING OUT OF THE KITCHEN … THE SAME. YOUR Pizzaiolo NEEDS A RAPID COURSE , REFRESHER , MAJOR INSTRUCTION IN PIZZA STRETCHING , FORMING THE CORNICIONE AND BAKING IT TO THE PERFECT DONENESS . Perhaps it was an off night IDK , but it’s my opinion that if you continue to put out pizza like last night your business will suffer and can be corrected with your pizzaiolo LEARNING BETTER DOUGH STRETCHING AND FORMING . The chunky tomato sauce tasted as if it was just taken out of the can with no seasoning. Very disappointing for a pizza...
