Blue Heron Pizza Pub — Restaurant in Port Charlotte

Update Edit: 08/01/25

3rd visit, this time dine in. We could not have been happier. We enjoyed the Meatlover’s Special Pizza this time…served hot temp, along with hot onion rings and a cold side salad. The sauce with the onion rings (and fried frickles) is delicious. The service by Nathan was excellent. Fun and on point. Run, run, run wow!!! All of the servers!!

The owner couldn’t have been more attentive, he was on the ball! He saw me check the undercarriage of the crust on two slices as I was devouring my bite, and couldn’t get to our table fast enough to check if all was baked ok. Haha. The flavor of the pizza crust, cheese and toppings is what I loved the most. They are 10” pizzas but that is all you need with a salad and starter. 10/10 stars on service, quality and pricing.

We had 4 domestic drafts, pizza, onion rings and salad for $47+ before tip. *It was their 1 year anniversary and they had Happy Hour all weekend beer/wine $1 off specials and dessert specials to boot. If you ever have something to correct on your order. Just ask. They are very accommodating!!!!

Great local place. I like that it’s small and they keep the customers coming back because they were full up after 4:30 with tables waiting. Love it. See you soon.

We have enjoyed inside dining and delivery so far. I regret not taking photos of the meal both times!

Our delivery order tonight was great. Food was hot and the salad with my meal was cold and fresh!

My husband enjoyed the meatball sub with fries and I loved my Blue Heron Chicken Mac n Cheese Alfredo pasta meal. Enough leftovers for lunch with the pasta. It came with some garlic bread and the salad. We also had the pretzel sticks. The dipping mustard is out of this world delicious.

The total “delivery fee” was way more than fair in my opinion!!! We obviously tip and are grateful for the in house delivery drivers. Will be back for in house dining and delivery for sure. May you have...

We ordered takeout for the first time and opted to use their delivery service. We ordered the clam chowder and lobster bisque soup. Both were absolutely hot and delicious! The clam chowder was very creamy with lots of potatoes and clams and it had a great taste! The lobster bisque was spot on.! I just wish it had some pieces of Lobster in it, but for the price, I was still very, very satisfied and would definitely order again! Most definitely a bowl instead of a cup next time ! And both came with packages of oyster crackers , which I love with my chowder or bisque . Many places don't give you that with their soup . I had the cheeseburger club sandwedge and it was huge! Everything on it was fresh and delicious and the fries were good. My mother had the fish and chips. The haddock was absolutely delicious! A big piece of fish with lots of flavor and a light batter that did not take away from the taste of the fish. The fish was so thick and flaky . Also with fries and coleslaw. The coleslaw was also delicious. It's on the sweeter side, that's the kind that I like! It also came with a fresh lemon wedge and some tartar sauce. Everything was hot and fresh ! But I have to comment how the delivery was. It was on time and the driver had the name of the business on top of his car . When the young man arrived with our food, it was not only hot, but it was packaged nicely in a bag. The bag was placed inside an insulated bag which kept everything hot, like a heated cooler bag! No wonder everything was nice and hot! He walked up and was very professional and polite! Keep this young man as your delivery person, he represented your business well! We will definitely be back! There are so many things on the menu I am excited to try! Kudos! P.S: my only input..maybe send some malt vinegar with the fish and chips? Luckily we had some on hand. That's something people always forget to ask for. It would be nice to be included...

So it isn’t often that I review a restaurant but I’m hoping that this review could have an impact on the quality of food in the future at this location because there’s real promise here. Jon, who is the owner along with someone else that I haven’t met seem to have a keen interest and starting a community Centered atmosphere in this new restaurant location. That said, however, the food quality needs work. The pizza looks like a Totino‘s pizza out of a box. They give you hardly any ingredients at all on the pizzas and it appears that they’re trying to just simply max out on the profit margins . There are literally 100 pizza restaurants throughout the Charlotte County area so competition is tough. That said, much more focus needs to be given to the amount of ingredients on the pizza. I think they can literally double the amount of ingredients to still make a profit on these pies , also feel like the wings are very passé. Everyone serves fried wings! Big deal! Again, big deal! Do something that wows the crowd! Presents something that no one else does out there. Smoke them, bake them, or smoke and bake them! The community desperately needs a place that they can call home for the cold beer and good food! The blue heron is on the way, but it needs to reach out to their customers and ask them to review and make suggestions regarding their food! Good luck...
