Pizza & Gyro Express — Restaurant in Tampa

This is THE hidden gem when it comes to "NY Style" pizza in Tampa. If you're looking to try an authentic tasting NY pizza THIS IS IT!!

Located where the old Sbarro was in Westshore Mall, don't be fooled by the nondescript appearance. The first time I placed an order was for two individual slices. Those were close to perfection. Excellent cheese/sauce ratio, thin crispy crust, and what tasted like fresh ingredients.

Unfortunately, the lack of urgency really overshadowed the quality. Definitely not ideal for anyone on a...

What a game changer for our area! As someone who has struggled to find good halal options, I am beyond thrilled that this place has opened up at the WestShore Plaza.

Thank you for bringing such a wonderful option to...
