Solorzano's Pizzeria & Poolside Bistro — Restaurant in Orlando

I've had a lot of pizza's in my time. This is one of the best, if not the best. I tried it for the first time today. It's challenging to find a place that serves pizza by the slice, and it being delicious. $4 a slice, it is a bit pricey, but considering the beautiful location, and quality of food, I can understand, and respect this price.

The server that assisted me in the morning, was very friendly, and gave me a tour of the pizza selections, and explained every one in great detail. You can tell the people that work here take pride in their job. That says a lot about the leadership around here.

I got a pepperoni slice, and they heated it up in their oven. They have granulated garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, and parmesan to put on your pizza. The pizza was everything I had hoped it'd be and more. The sauce tasted so fresh, and delicious. They use the old world pepperoni's. These are special since they cup up when it's cooked, giving the edges a nice crisp and snap to them.

The pizza was so delicious I had to go back for dinner. The place is tucked away in a luxury apartment complex, so you have to go through a security check point to get there. Don't let this intimidate you because the security are more than aware of people visiting just for this restaurant. The security man that let me in gave me a $1 off coupon, and asked me to bring him a slice. I sure did.

For dinner, I got their Sicilian slice, which I understand, is a rare thing to happen. A Sicilian pizza isn't on the menu. I purchased the Godfather style slice. It came with balsamic vinegar drizzle, fresh basil and garlic. It was absolutely delicious. The crust was crispy and fresh. The sauce ratio is just perfect. It's rich, thick. You can taste the sauce in every bite.

I met the owner there, and held the door open for him as he was arriving. He is an amazing man just from our brief interaction. I noticed they had a table with a bunch of Solorzano's Pizza tshirts. Bossman Solorzano came over and told me those shirts just came in and asked if I wanted one. I said, "Sure do! How much?" He just gave one to me.

This was the best experience I've ever had at a pizza restaurant. So much so that I am writing a novel of my experience. Really really amazing place, in a beautiful location, with stellar service, and stellar food.

I'll be back... Thank you so much for the great experience to everyone at...

This is a hidden gem I tell literally tell EVERYBODY about. First things first, this place is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Don’t get scared away by security and the fact that it’s in a gated community, they know this place is popular so all you do is show up, tell them that you’re here to go to the pizza spot and they check you in. it’s quick and easy. You park at the city market building that’s on your left hand side when you walk in. Then you’re gonna walk inside and go down the hallway (you’ll hear the music from the hallway). Once you open the doors, immediate vibes. They’re always playing good music. If you’re a resident in the community, you do get a discount. I don’t so I don’t get one but that still hasn’t stopped me from coming here regularly because this place is just that good 🤷🏾‍♀️ Not only because of the food but the owner does a REALLY good job hiring employees. I’ve been coming here for about a year and I’ve recently seen new faces, but the vibes have stayed the same. They recognize you when you come a lot, they take care of you and they actually treat you like you’re their friend. I catch them up on my life and stuff and know a lot of them by name by now. And it’s like that every time I come so the owner must be doing something right to have employees keep that energy all the time 🤷🏾‍♀️ I invited some family members here for my birthday party and then brought my son here on his. They have a love DJ on Sundays and he is SO good. He incorporates a lot of 00s music which i love.

Now for the food. Pizza hits every time. They have a special for 2 pizzas and drink and it’s what i usually get. They have a full bar. But what’s been the biggest hit with everyone that I’ve brought here is their garlic knots. If you come here, you HAVE to try their Dr Browns cream soda. That’s the other big hit here. I promise you haven’t had cream soda like it (goes down so smooth) and you actually can’t find that soda at any stores (pls don’t sell it out 🥹).

Yes, you can swim IF YOU’RE A CUSTOMER.

Overall, this place has been my usual “spot”. To study, chill, play, everything because it has all the vibes without all the...

Feeling misled by all the rave reviews.

We were looking for late night pizza and amidst a sea of dominos and Pizza Hut, we were excited to see a place with so many 5 star reviews open til 2AM!

When we arrived, around 12:30-ish AM, there were no other patrons and one employee was mopping and both seemed surprised to see customers, prompting me to ask if they were open. They confirmed they were, but only serving slices. This information would be good to have listed somewhere - a menu, a website, Instagram… but i digress.

The slice selections at 12:30AM were slim, to say the least. The options were one pepperoni slice or three veggie slices. We opted for the last pep and one veggie. Not my first choice, but if it’s slices only…

The pizza was disgusting. Who knows how old the slices were. Literally inedible.

Maybe only stay open til 2AM Friday and Saturday if you don’t want patrons to come in late the other days of the week. It would be better than having my measly $12 and serving the nastiest pizza available.

Honestly was kind of afraid to post this based on the owner’s responses to other low ratings, but this is an honest review.

I will say the vibe seems great, on a Saturday night the music and the lights...
