Pizza Gorda Reviews
Wow, where have I been these 3 years living in SWFL. This is a true hidden gem but wow! We came here with my daughter and her friends for a light dinner, first of all RSVP if you can, we didn't and so we were seated outside, which was not bad as it is so cute. The menu is not overwhelming but it is def curated. The service was superb! We ordered the artichokes, the mostaccioli with min meatballs, a margharita pizza and a pep and mushroom pizza. The pizza was superb, the coal fired crust was amazing. The pizza comes in one size only, on the smaller side but packs a lot of flavor. The mostaccioli, wow! so cheesy and so delicious. I want to come back asap to try more of their items, everything was so fresh. Loved this place
Nico & Co are amazing. Their food is without a doubt the best in SWFL. The pizza reminds this Italian New Yorker of the best I had back in the day. Definitely recommend The Margherita Pizza. Simple but extraordinary if it's from Pizza Gorda. Adoro la pizza di Pizza Gorda! Grazie Nico per la tua meravigliosa pizza!
Brought my mother from Rome, Italy we LOVED the margarita, meatballs and nutellino....dough is tender and it brought her right back home.
Cute little venue set up in a charming old house located in downtown Punta Gorda. The food was really good and the portions were quite large. Our server did a great job and was friendly. Prices were reasonable too. Go give them a try, you won't be disappointed.
Awesome pizza! Incredible garlic knots! I hope to continue to work my way through other items on the menu. When you enter, the aromas are fantastic! And the staff are all very friendly.
