Trying out some new pizza. Wings, maybe next time. Better late than never. New ownership tempted me back to a place I previously avoided. I ordered a 18" extra cheese pie. A real oven is always a great start. The next good omen is they know what extra cheese means, the pizza was about 30% larger and $7 cheaper than that coal fire place. When I say new owner, he's been there 10 years, I just did not know. We now have a place very close to home as an option. In this neighborhood, it's the best option.
Just had this place for the first time today. We got pizza and wings and both were amazing! When I got there, he asked if I had been there before. When I said no, he was very excited to explain to me that he makes his own dough (pointed out the ingredients in the kitchen). He explained his prices are a bit high but he believes his product is superior (the wife and I agreed). He then proceeded to give us an Italian ice on the house. He was extremely pleasant, friendly, and polite. The food was amazing.As far as negative reviews, I've noticed two things. One, most look they were written by a kindergartener with a very loose grip on basic grammar. Second, I saw several reviews on the delivery service. Here's the thing...he DOESN'T DELIVER! He also doesn't sell out to third parties such as Uber eats. So I don't know if these people get Charlie's confused with somewhere else or what. But this is a small business run by someone who pours his heart into his product. If you want cheap and fast, go elsewhere. If you value quality, this is the place for you.
Best pizza and wings hands down in the Tampa Bay area. Great customer service as well. If you're looking to eat the best pizza this is it. Just try it for yourself.
one of the best pizza places in Tampa! A hidden gem in the rough! If you don't know then find out! It's great!!!
Very excellent Pizza, wings and Italian Ice! Owner is very nice and pleasant. When I asked about possibly catering for my sons birthday party he was going above and beyond with his customer service. I’ve been here quite a few times and definitely will be back and spread the word on how wonderful Charlie’s is! Highly recommend!
This is the best definition of a NY pizza. This is the place everyone should go to if you’re in the area and are looking for something good to eat, especially if it’s pizza. As a New Yorker, I’ve always preferred the style from my state. This is my favorite pizza joint. The atmosphere is beautiful, the people are lovely especially Charlie. I strongly recommend it.
If you want cheap overpriced food this is the place for you. Pizza isn't cooked right and is extremely greasy, wings are cooked in old oil and they barely even put any sauce on them. Ive given them multiple chances and they always fail to impress. They give philly pizza a bad name
I loved everything about it!! My boyfriend & I went in w/our two kids & Charlie the owner greeted us as soon as we walked in. He was so nice & made our food pretty quick! The wings is what I mostly went for & im so glad I did!! They were 10/10. Thank you Charlie! We will be back for more! Especially the Italian Icee ?
By far one of the best pizza in Tampa area. Original authentic NY style is for sure. A new jersey gal can vouch for it. Had the wings as well crispy fresh and delicious. Want good pizza this is the place. Oh they serve authentic icy in three different flavors. Had the lemon it is homemade for sure!!! FIVE STARS!
Customer Service and food was amazing! Definitely will be back next time I visit Tampa.
