Original Pizza

Very medoicre pizza. I got the meatlovers pizza and it was a very generic and meh pizza. Ive had better tasting pizza for less money multiple times. Their strombolis are pretty good, definitely better than their pizzas but nothing really amazing. The garlic bread was fresh and tasted good too. Overall, I’d rather go to another place that has either crispier or doughier pizza for cheaper next time.

I ordered from this restaurant on the recommendation of the front desk at my hotel. The pizza was soggy, droopy and completely flavorless. The chicken wings were dry and literally inedible because they were so bad.
About an hour after eating from this place, my boyfriend and I simultaneously got the worst food poisoning I’ve ever experienced in my life. This was our last night in Treasure Island and we spent the entire night throwing up and dry heaving in the bathroom.
This continued until about 3am and we both got on a 6am flight home, still unable to even drink sips of water.
After returning home, I called and spoke to the restaurant manager and informed her that we both got very sick and that I don’t want to have to pay for a meal that, not only was completely wasted, but also got us sick.
I was very calm and respectful and was met with nothing but hostility and poor attitude from the manager. She would not refund me and argued that there is no way we could have gotten sick from this restaurant. She was basically telling me that I’m a liar and I have never been treated so poorly and with such disrespect as a customer.
I have family in the area and I will never give this place another shot. I can get over the low quality pizza, and the food poisoning, but management should be ashamed of how they treated a customer over this situation.

If it wasn’t for that fact that we were starving, we wouldn’t have been able to stomach it. We got a Stromboli and a steak and cheese pizza. Both bathing in oil and grease!!! There was potential but it was just a wet mess

This hole in the wall (literally, don’t plan on dining in) brought memories of a pizza joint that I grew up with in Massachusetts. Same flavor, crust, cheese, everything. Since I moved to Georgia 3 years ago, I have been in search of that New York style taste! This place has it!
(Think: Along Came Polly pizza scene. Hmmmm)

Stromboli is PERFECT! Muffuletta is GREAT! Pizza may be the best on the island. This place rocks!

Me and my boyfriend both had a deep dish and it was fantastic. The crust felt like something is missing, but it was still really good.

Excellent pizza and friendly staff! They get it right every time! Tasty sauce, no skimping on the cheese and delivery is always better than expected!

Very meh. It’s okay, not bad. There’s only 4 seats in the place as it’s not meant as an eat-​in place. The staff were very friendly. The pizza straight out of the oven was a bit soggy. The breadsticks with cheese on the were really good.

Good pizza. They didn’t skimp on the toppings and the sauce was quite flavorful. I would recommend to anyone wanting pizza on TI.

Great Pizza, we were pleasantly surprised it was true NY style in Florida! We were shocked they closed so early on a Saturday Night, Halloween Night at that. We placed the order right before closing and even though they closed, they let us pick up our to go order after hours. Very accommodating, very good pizza. Will definitely order from here again while vacationing in the area.

I love their turkey subs here! The bread is made every day and the meat is fresh. The price is right and it’s right on Treasure Island. If you are looking to eat pizza, you can’t go wrong either!!!

Not very good, matter of fact on of the top 10 worst pizzas I have ever had. Crust was lifeless and tasteless. The pizza was very salty and very little tomato sauce. I would try somewhere else.

True NY style pizza. I order pizza from here regularly. I haven’t tried their other items on the menu. Fast, friendly and good.

Spent 9 days in Treasure Island, and this was the first meal awaiting us after a long flight in from Seattle. We had a Cuban Sandwich, Cheese, and Veggie Pizza, Mozzerella Sticks, House Salad, and Cheese Bread. Awesome…
The prices are some of the best, and they deliver. It became our go to for Cuban Sandwiches several times during the week, even to the point of taking a few back with us.
The staff is friendly, the delivery quick, and it’s pretty obvious that having been in the same location for 29 years, it’s been embraced by the locals. You can’t go wrong here.
This is a delivery location, and I think there might have been one or two small tables inside. The parking lot is tight, and it’s more than likely you won’t get a parking spot during the day.

The pizza was awesome. Thin, not too greasy, delicious. The mozzarella sticks not so much but the pizza made up for it. Service was fast and friendly.

Just pulled in on a random whim… less than 5 bucks for 2 slices and a soda… ordered extra cheese… it was TheBombDotCom… Boom!

Review is for delivery. Pizza was good but service was terrible. After being told 45min to an hour wait, we called just to check on the status. The answer we got? «It hasn’t been an hour yet». It was literally 56 minutes and that’s the answer rather than it’s on the way or it will be another 5 minutes? Bad service will ruin slightly above average food any day.

Cheeesus Christ! Now I love cheese just as much as the next gal but can we maybe try to add more sauce and less cheese to the pizza. The pizza was 80% cheese and 5% sauce. The menu said crispy the only thing I got got was a soggy mess. I ate it because I was hungry but I won’t be going back

This is the best pizza in Treasure Island, or anywhere nearby, for that matter. The extra cheese was truly EXTRA and every melted strand was delicious. The pepperoni had perfect spice and the crust held just enough moisture to allow a New York style fold. Super flavorful and piping hot.
We used to rave and look forward to a certain coal fired pie, which is very good, but to-​date, simply can’t hold a candle to Original Pizza. We’ll be back before the trip’s over.

I practically live at Treasure Island.
On any given weekend of the month, you can find my husband and I at one of the many hotels/​motels somewhere in the area, computers in our laps working at a fevered pitch to get our daily tasks done so we can dive into the sultry warm waters of the Gulf. This is one of the joys of telecommuting, folks. Good work if you can get it.
However, I digress… and there is no room for digression here.
While hubs and I have our favorite places for dinner, the one place that cannot go without a visit is Original Pizza. I am a New York girl, born and raised. Lived there for 30 years of my *cough wheeze gak* mumble mumble years on this earth. And one thing holds true… the pizza in Florida is a train wreck. Some say «it’s the water». Some say, «it’s because they don’t use brick ovens». Some say, «it’s the way the tomatoes are handled by migrant farm workers and watered in the tears of baby goats and then, fertilized by the scarcely seen chupacabra during the height of mating season once the moon turns grey and Jupiter enters Venus rising.»
Make up whatever excuses you want to, Native Floridians. The bottom line is, your pizza sucks.
EXCEPT…Original Pizza. I don’t know what they do. I don’t care. it doesn’t matter. I don’t need to hear it. All I know is that when I do go to Original’s and that is at least 4 times a month, all I taste is what I can only imagine it would be like to take a bite out of an angel’s thigh.
Hm. Okay, maybe something a little less provocative sounding.
How about, the way heaven would taste, if you could slice it into 8 cheesy triangles.
Their pizza is SO good and best when served fresh right out of the oven. Very rarely do hubs and I take the pizza back to the room. We usually plop down right outside their door and set upon devouring a pie between us. I love it scalding hot. There is just the right amount of grease, not so much that you need to sop it up with a napkin, but just enough so that it lubes the inside of your mouth in preparation for the cheese, OH THAT CHEESE, to slide right down your throat and into your belly. The crust has just enough «snap» to it without it tasting like cardboard but just enough doughiness that it’s soft and mooshy. The sauce is delicious. Seasoned to perfection.
It’s simply the best pizza on the Gulf Coast.
I’m sure there are other items on their menu. I couldn’t tell you a single one. I have no clue, nor do I care to learn. All you need to know is their pizza. It’s insane.
One thing about Originals that you might need to know. They don’t serve individual slices after 2 pm, so make sure you are ready to order a pie. Still, that won’t stop me from giving them five stars. Actually, I am looking at the stars and wondering if there is a way I can photo shop three more in, so it looks like a pie. A pie of Pizza. Wonderful, delicious Original Pizza.
Ew. I drooled on my keyboard.
Anyway, go to Original Pizza the next time you are in Treasure Island.
Tell them Cher sent you. It won’t mean a blessed thing to them at all. They’ll probably cock their head to one side and look at you strangely. Don’t be concerned. I just like telling people to say my name everywhere they go.
It’s a narcissistic thing. You wouldn’t understand.
