Best Pizza in Florida

The Best Pizza in Florida, According to People Who Live Here

Florida pizza has a chip on its shoulder — every transplant from New York or Chicago insists it can't be done here. The numbers disagree. Carmines Pie House in Jacksonville's Riverside neighborhood holds a ★4.7 across more than 5,500 reviews. Tobys Original Little Italy in St. Petersburg matches that rating across 4,400+. These aren't tourist ratings; they're the accumulated verdict of locals who eat there weekly.

Jacksonville is quietly the strongest pizza city in the state guide — Carmines, Moon River Pizza in Murray Hill (★4.7, 3,500+ reviews, thin-crust by the slice), and V Pizza's wood-fired San Marco flagship give it a three-deep bench that most Florida cities can't answer.

Every Style, One State

The range is wider than people expect: New York thin crust at Moon River, wood-fired Neapolitan at V Pizza, old-school parlor slices at Tobys, and Roman-style al taglio — sold by the rectangular cut, on focaccia-like dough — at RomanSQ in Sarasota's Gulf Gate, the only dedicated Roman pizza operation we've verified in Florida.
