Bronx House Pizza Nocatee — Restaurant in Nocatee

I was so excited to try Bronx House for the first time, but I was sadly disappointed. I ordered a large cheese pizza to go and was told that it would take around 20min or so. I was with my daughter and I decided while we wait, I’d order us some drinks. I went to the bar, but no one was there when I got there. Once someone showed up another couple got there around the same time. The bartender took my order- one Old Fashioned and a Shirley Temple and then took the other couples order. She started to make my drink, but ended up making the other couples drink first. I wasn’t really bothered by that, but I was still wondering why she made theirs first. She finally handed me both drinks and the Old Fashioned was $17 without tip!! I’m sorry, but unless you’re putting on a show or smoking it, and or the Old Fashioned is life changing then it shouldn’t be $17! This isn’t New York and it’s definitely the most expensive Old Fashioned in Nocatee. Heck the Old Fashioned in Dos Gatos in downtown where they make it amazing is $16 I believe. This Old Fashioned was muddled which is a big no, no if it’s going to be a high end drink. Anyways, I’m getting off track because it’s not like I can’t afford a $17 Old Fashioned. I was just annoyed by the service and it’s ridiculous to pay that much when the drink was mediocre) I wasn’t writing this post to complain about the price. So the pizza I ordered came out faster than expected, around maybe 16mins (I’m not complaining about that) Before my pizza came out, I had ordered a drink while I was waiting on my pizza. Once I finally got my drinks the pizza was ready. So I grabbed my pizza that was in the to go box and sat down on the table next to the bar with my daughter so I could finish my $17 drink and have one slice before going home to finish the rest. That’s when all the drama happened. The girl that had taken my pizza order walked over to my table and said that I couldn’t sit here. I asked her why, and she said that because I had ordered the pizza to go I couldn’t sit there. I said to her, but I had ordered a drink while I was waiting for it to be ready and then she turned to the bartender and asked if she allowed me/us to sit there… really??? They both told me I couldn’t sit there because it was a to go order. I told her that I was still sipping on my drink. It’s like I had to problem solve for them. I asked if I could take my drink to go and they said no because it had alcohol. They then offered to put my boxed pizza on a tray, but the only reason I was eating a slice of pizza in the first place was because it took so damn long to get my drink! I told them no, I didn’t want it on a tray because I was leaving after eating my slice and finishing my Old Fashioned. I felt like I had to down my $17 drink. My daughter was so embarrassed. I normally don’t write bad reviews and if no one would have said anything to me, I never would have, but here I am, writing this review because management didn’t train their employees properly or maybe this is just the New York experience…. Dunno… but I can assure you that I won’t be going back to a place where the pizza and drinks are mid, maybe a 6.9 out of ten and the experience isn’t even worth a 15% tip. The only thing great about this place was the proximity. Here’s a tip, rename your restaurant to Dick’s, then maybe the service...

Approaching this review holistically as my favorite Batman is Kevin Conroy (sorry live action movies) - my credentials - an average fan, have read most of the Detective and Batman comics, watched most the DC animated shows and movies as well as live action films and played all the Arkham games and also the Telltale series.

To avoid spoilers, just commenting on the actual acting more than plot.

I didn't like the Batman voice but midway through it grew on me. Acting wise Mr Pattinson is impressive (but my favorite roles of his are as Neil, Cedric Diggory and Rev. Teagardin) - as Batman, remember this is Bats in year 2 and Mr Pattinson nails it as well. A fine actor (not better than Mr Keaton but that is childhood nostalgia maybe however just as batty as Mr Bale..Mr Affleck was awesome as well but scripting for him was below par).

Ms Kravitz was maybe born to play Selina (at least this gritty version). I honestly disliked Ms Kravitz in X-Men and Grindlewald but liked her in Big Little Lies. I was skeptical given her lack of martial arts but it is evident she gave her best during training and for me, her portrayal of Selina was perfect. Chemistry wise though, needed some work between Bats and Cats but nothing worth losing a star over.

Mr Dano, wow; Saw like sadist perhaps inspired by Mr Spacey a bit, a Riddler far from the kooky "riddle me this" we have come to know and enjoy but he gave in a performance no less than his stellar efforts with Daniel Day Lewis. I have become a fan of Mr Dano's acting.

Mr Serkis, just when I thought a re-imagining might go awry, there is Mr Serkis. He portrays Alfred so naturally, it's as if he is Alfred Pennyworth.

Mr Wright is a fair enough Gordon and without any fault of his, once you've seen him as Felix Leiter (as he was the best Leiter for me) it's hard to not compare his take on Gordon with Leiter. Also once you've seen Mr Oldman in and as anything...well Mr Oldman is my best Gordon (like Mr Simmons is my best JJJameson).

Mr Farrell was a believable budding Cobblepot and I hope he brings the same effort to the supposed spinoff (suffice to say I also had enjoyed his take on Bullseye..but InBruges is till my best for Mr Farrell).

Mr Turturro is limited but still impactful as was Mr Skarsgard.

Direction/Plot - I appreciate good work and Mr Reeves clearly put in an honest effort. I enjoyed his vision and never felt bored or distracted whilst watching his movie. He is not Mr Nolan or Mr Burton or Mr Timm/Mr Dini, but a league of his own and in this, he owned it. Thank you for not messing it up.

Story wise the movie is entertaining and well made - there is a threat, hero and allies must work to show their relevance and save the day - done quite effectively (not life changing but films rarely are, however storytelling is meaningful). Obviously production values are impressive and the cinematography is amazing. Set designs are useful while costumes are well thought out and...

If you're searching for the real deal in New York-style pizza, look no further than Bronx House Pizza in Nocatee! This multi-award-winning pizzeria serves up some of Florida’s finest gourmet pies, and the Nocatee location is an absolute gem. The place was buzzing with energy on a Friday evening—vibrant, colorful, and packed with happy diners. The atmosphere instantly makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a lively New York neighborhood.

The food? Absolutely divine! We started with the Chicken Milanese Salad, a refreshing mix of crispy chicken cutlet, chopped salad, tomatoes, and pickled red onion—a perfect balance of crunch and zest. The Shrimp Risotto was next, featuring plump Gulf shrimp swimming in a zesty tomato cream sauce that was simply to die for. Their Homemade Lasagna is a must-try, with layers of fresh lasagna sheets, rich ragu bolognese, parmigiana, and ooey-gooey mozzarella—pure comfort on a plate.

We also crafted our own pizza, piling it high with an array of fresh veggies. Their pizza dough is something special—made from premium wheat grown in Canada and milled to perfection in the USA. The crust was light yet crispy, with a flavor that comes from a 48-hour cold rise fermentation and a hint of their unique mother dough. The sauce? A fragrant blend of Sicilian oregano, fresh garlic, parsley, basil, and more—each bite was a little slice of heaven.

For dessert, we couldn’t resist the Cannoli’s—crunchy, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness. It was the perfect way to end a fantastic meal. A special shoutout to Nyles, our server, who was attentive, friendly, and made sure our dining experience was top-notch.
