Pizza Connection

Family friendly. Great, fresh salads. The pizza, however, is garbage. Bland, like cardboard with toppings.

First time I’ve been to this place and it’s really good. I ordered the Everything Pizza and it was great, the crust, the sauce, the toppings. You name it. It wasn’t burnt on the bottom and I’ve never liked the thin slice pizzas but this one I really enjoyed. I noticed it’s family owned and they take/​bring your order. The wait time was decent as well as the envirorment was good. Bathroom was super clean and they also have Bud Lite, Budweiser and Ultra on draft!
Overall I liked this place and I would drive from Lakeland to enjoy this place

Amazing! Really one of the finest pizza places I have been in. There are fancier restaurants with snazzier pizza; there are food joints with better specialities of pizza; there exist places with a better physical building. But if you like pizza, are looking for a neighborhood feel, and do not want to radically overspend, then this is your place! I have two specific negatives: one, the table seating is not adjustable so there is no way a big boy like me can fit comfortably in any of the seating though they will bring out a chair for you if asked– I wish they would give a table or two for better seating options; second, they do not make deep dish pizza as far as I can tell– that is fine by me but if you are a deep dish zealot then this isn’t for you. Remember to try their specialty soda! Oh, they also serve various alcohols– not my thing but whatever!

OK tonight October 5^th 2015 is the 3^rd time coming here and again OMG WOW!!! Amazing pizza’s!!! My brothers love the BBQ Chicken Pizza, Mom is Cheese and extra cheese, Dad now he is the odd ball of the bunch Anchovies and Peporine (gag but not soo bad lol) me I love the Sausage, Peporine an Extra Cheese please…
The one bad thing about eating in is that the booths are NOT FAT Friendly siiiiiigh, yes I am big boy but them booths suck, now the best thing though is they do have a chair and without asking tonight they got it for me which was awesome…

Do not understand the fascination with this place. The pizza tastes very cheap and they are very expensive.

Love the Pizza! Best pizza in Florida. The only place we go when we want pizza. Not fancy, just delicious.

if your looking for a pizza simular to a chicago thin crust this is the best! you’ll find in this area. ask for extra sauce though.

When I want good pizza I travel here. It’s about 15 miles from SE Winter Haven but well worth the trip. Prices are reasonable and the pizza is great. I compare other pizza places to them and have not found a better pizza since moving here 10 years ago. always looking for a closer on but none can beat Pizza Connection.

Maybe it’s because I was raised on this, but the pizza is worth double the price! Bacon and ham is unreal, not sure where they get their ingredients, but they are top quality. The service, cleanliness, and kids running wild would run most people away. Trust me, hang in there, just sit down at the dirty table and enjoy… best pizza in the states, right here in Polk County

Some of the most tasteless cardboard like pizza ever. Crust: thin and flavorless. Sauce: bland and no flavor profile. The toppings: mediocre at best. Go to your grocery stores freezer section, find the cheap little personal pizzas and that’s exactly what you’ll expect out of here. I will admit I was the only one in the family not raving about this place but idk what they were thinking.

If you like thin crust pizza this is the place to go. Family owned, not a chain. Very popular pizza restaurant which speaks for it’s self. I do recommend giving then a try. They also have sandwiches, salads and beer. I actually think their BLT is one of my favorites.

Inexpensive, clean, and easy. We walked in and it was clear that this is a favorite spot for the locals.

Been eating pizza here for years and have not been disappointed yet

I have been eating Pizza Connection for 25 years. Even before they moved to the location they are in now. I’m actually waiting for them to open so I can order a pie for lunch. The cornmeal crusted bottom is awesome thin pizza. I haven’t eaten anything but pizza, so I can’t comment on their sandwiches but I will continue to eat their tasty pizza as long as I’m around. Friendly, hometown people and southern hospitality. J Burns opened back on Cleveland Heights in Lakeland so I drove over to check it out. It was good but not better than PC. I will stick with the A’Dale staple, PIZZA CONNECTION RULES!!!

Been getting pizza here for years, only takeout though. The thin crust is great and I also recommend the steak sandwich. They have a website where you can order and pickup later.

Amazing establishment, that’s been in the community for over 20 years! There is no pizza like this anywhere around central Florida; its a thin style pizza, and they cut the pizza into squares. I suggest the ham as they use shredded ham, instead of sliced ham. They also have great sandwiches, of which I suggest the steak sandwich.

Been going here for years & nothing has changed. Love their pizza & sandwiches. The Roast Beef sandwich is good, alittle greasy for my taste, but overall a good sandwich. Not a fan of the (hot/​cold) ham & cheese. Not enough flavor & taste like something I can make at home. I love their pizza. Thin crust & very crispy, just the right amout of sauce & toppings.
The location has limited seating, and always busy. Best to order to go (ahead of time) & do a pick up instead of trying to find a seat after ordering. The employees seem confused sometimes & the place always seem frantic. Sometimes you get a rude employee taking orders. Last time I ordered inside, the employee was smacking his gum & I could barely understand a word he was saying.
Overall, great prices & great pizza.

This small town pizza place has a great rep for pizza and they sure looked yummy. However, I came here not hungry for pizza, so don’t have a spectacular review. The place was busy with a large to-​go order and there were huge pizza pies everywhere waiting to go through the oven. The help seemed frantic and it took a long time to get to me to order at the register. Prices were spectacular. I got a small salad for about $ 2 (lettuce, tomato, small piece of green pepper) and a half sandwich for $ 3. I chose a mushroom/​steak sub. They give you a number and rely on shouting it out as they look through the crowd for who might have that number. Kinda lout and chaotic.
Bread toasted nicely but the meat was a ¾″ thick, gritty pressed piece of mystery meat of non-​specific flavor. It was NOT fresh steak nor shaved steak. It was covered with a spoonful of canned gravy & mushrooms. Edible but not pleasant. Really deserving of one-​star, but I reminded myself I was in pizza territory and their prices were great. Maybe next time I’ll stick with their specialty.

If you like THIN crust and thin toppings, this is the place.
Not much sauce or cheese. This is like having a little bit of pizza on a very thin crispy cracker. It must be an acquired taste.

I’ve heard about this place from so many people that I had to go try it for myself. What makes Pizza Connection different from other pizza joints?
1. They cut their pizza into squares… yes, I know what you are thinking. Who cares? And you are right, the shape of pieces really doesn’t matter.
2. Great seasoning on the pizza, which gives it great taste!
3. This pizza has what I like to call «cracker crust» — thin and crispy. I prefer Chicago style pizza, but this was rather good.
Ohh yeah I went at 11:20am and thought I would be the first person there. Nope, there were already about 7 parties who already seated. If you are in Auburndale this is apparently the place to be.
