Precinct Pizza

I like this spot. The pizza is very good. Nice little spot. The service is good but it’s a pizza place. Very good food.

Sunday at 5pm, Memorial Day weekend. Right after a Tampa Bay Storms game and right before a Memorial Day Celebration at Channelside. You have one waitress working as hostess, busser and waitress? I don’t think so. Waited for 10 minutes before walking out. Apparently my husband said he noticed another waitress in the back, and she saw us, but had no intention of coming to help her coworker. First and last time there. The food looked pretty good, but I’ll never know!

Was dragged here by friends before we attended a concert at the nearby arena.
I had little hope, but was pleasantly surprised. This place puts out some great thin-​crust, NY-​style pizza!
Our party of 6 all wanted different things, so I just ordered 2 slices with pepperoni and an iced tea.
My pizza was great! Legit crust, good sauce, and plenty of decent cheese… Everybody else in our party loved their food, with not one complaint.
Their service was excellent too. The place was packed with people also going to the concert, but they got us in and out (and FULL) with no hassle! We arrived at our event with time to spare!
I can never give any place a full 5-​stars based on just one visit, but if you are in the area, you should really consider giving Precinct Pizza a try…

How disappointed I was visiting Precinct Pizza. We usually order delivery which has been delicious.
But yesterday I attempted dinner with my son and was met with utter annoyance. We sat our selves because there wasn’t a sign telling us to do otherwise. We waited and waited and waited in a rather slow dinner service. Unfortunately, we never tasted a thing!
The server seemed to make an obnoxious point to wait on the table behind us and in front of us. How immature and expensive on her part as she lost food sales and her tip.
Story ends with a Harbour Island resident going elsewhere and vowing not to return or recommend.

Ordered a 9 inch steak and cheese, wished I never did. Absolute garbage. Barely any steak. Barely any toppings. What a waste of money. Don’t order from this place.

PIZZA IS AWESOME
Service could use some personality. The girls seating people did not even great us. We almost turned around and went to Hooters. But, a friend really recommended the Pizza. So we gave a shot and loved it.

The Best Pizza in Tampa. The food is delicious and I love the New York décor .
The Da’ Bronx pie was awesome, salads and wings too .
If you ever need a bite to eat in channelside. This is the place to visit .
Your kids will love it and so will the rest of the family. I’m writing this review and getting hungry thinking about it. Thanks for the great service too.

WOW!!! This was our first time trying this pizza… and our last!
Quick hint guys, pizza is supposed to have sauce on it, and this new thing we like to call CHEESE. The pizza was undercooked, and cold when it arrived. Congrats guys, now I finally know why prison inmates riot over the food being served.

This was one of our favorite pizza spots in Tampa. It was our «go to». However, the service is absolutely terrible. We were there last month and the server, was so incredibly slow. It took her over 15 minutes to get our drinks. She only had 3 tables. When I asked for our waters, she replied, «oh I’ll get them I’m waiting on his beer». What?! I couldn’t believe she didn’t just go grab the waters quickly. She was WAY more concerned about bussing tables and doing her closing work (cleaning the floor, wiping counters). What really upset me was the other server was running laps around her and saw us sitting without drinks, yet never asked to help her or asked us what we needed. We were going to complain, but by the time we got our food we just wanted to eat and get out of there.
Last weekend, we ordered delivery. We were quoted 30 minutes. Our food didn’t show up for 1 hour and 20 minutes! When I called to check after 45 minutes, the girl who answered the phone was so rude. She said, «all I can tell you is it is the next order out»… Excuses me! I asked to speak with a manager and was told he wouldn’t be back for 2 hours. When the order finally showed up, it was fresh– so I didn’t make a big deal. But I was told the girl on the phone was new and very young, and he wasn’t even a driver, they’re very short staffed. As a customer, that isn’t MY problem.
I will say, they did send a $ 10 off coupon with an apology note. I appreciated that. But, we will probably never return to this establishment unless we order and pickup. The kitchen staff is ROCKIN’! They just need much better service staff.

So let me say first off, food here is definitely good one of the better NY pizzerias in Tampa. Their sauce is excellent, dough perfect, toppings delicious, portions are huge.
That being said the service inside the restaurant is abysmal. You will wait for 30 to 45 minutes before you see a hostess. Servers are brusque and overworked. Wait times for your food will stretch very long, even on an average afternoon. I guess in that regard it is a taste of NY (attitude)?
Drink sizes are mega so that’s good, but it is Pepsi products which personally I hate but to each they’re own.
Probably a better experience with takeout and a healthy dose of patience or excellent as delivery. I’m giving 4 stars because the food was five stars but the dining experience knocked it down a notch.

I just want to start by saying that I used to love this pizza place, so it’s not like I’m crazy.
I ordered over the phone for a delivery. The lady who I spoke with took 15 minutes to make an order of 1 pizza and a pepsi. I felt like she was falling asleep while we were on the phone and I had to repeat myself like 4 times.
She gave the wrong address to the delivery guy, he told my husband that it was a miracle he was actually in the right place. So, good job delivery guy :)!
The pizza… For some reason… It looked and tasted OLD. I have nothing against frozen pizza, I’ve never had one, but it looked and tasted like I would imagine a frozen pizza looks and tastes.
I don’t know what happened, really. We were looking forward all week to get pizza from this place but ended up being a disappointment.

Great place for anytime, loved the pizza and spaghetti!!! Sophia A. Was our waitress, great service.

Was not impressed at all by precinct pizza. Ordered online through Unilocal app/​eat 24, food took 85 minutes to arrive and we are within 2500 feet of restaurant (residing in the building right next store). Food arrived late, cold and the one time I tried to check the status of the order the app/​messenger feature was unavailable. Overall let down, pizza tastes like a frozen Publix pizza. Chicken wings were not cooked thoroughly, the batter was very soft and not crispy and the fat of the chicken meat had not been properly cooked/​fried so it was very chewy and fatty. We threw out 6 of the ten wings, ate half the pizza and gave the rest to our dog. Wouldn’t recommend, especially delivery using eat24. Wish I would have gotten of the couch and drove to Eddie and Sam’s

Great pizza! I love ordering take out from here. I think their prices are reasonable and the pizza always taste great. Parking is always a challenge but if your doing pickup you normally can park near the hooters. There is a middle lane that won’t mind if there for 10mins or so. I eat here at least once a week and especially enjoying visiting after a day at the aquarium.

This place has some great pizza. I mean delicious. We ordered the stuffed pizza and oh man it was so tasty. If you’re looking for some good pizza, go here!

It was good pizza. The stuffed crust one (Jamaica) was delicious. Wish they had a special one of these with preselected toppings (fillings for this I guess, since it’s in the middle). Beer was good and cold. Pepperoni pizza & cheese pizza was good. Nothing more amazing than I’ve had dozens of other places. Good pizza, slightly more expensive, but that’s Channelside.
Everything in here from the beer pints, to the water cups, to the plates bore the crest and name of the place. Nice touch.

This is a solid pizza joint. It’s at a good location just down from the Amalie Arena in one direction and the Florida Aquarium in the other. Also, I imagine a good place to grab a bite while you’re at the shopping center just behind it.
This place really plays up the «New York style» pizza option, and it does pretty well. My girlfriend and I each got a salad and we split a meat lover’s pizza and an order of the garlic knots. The salads were decent. The pizza was pretty good but very greasy, even for having all the meats on it. I thought the star was the order of knots. the knots themselves were garlic-​parmesan goodness, but the tomato sauce really elevated it. The sauce was robust and blended well with the garlic flavor of the knots.

So I went to Fabrica Pizza and left them a relatively harsh review. The salads I ordered were nothing to write home about. But who orders salads at a pizza place? So I went back today to try a pizza and perhaps revise my review.
Today is Monday.
They are closed on Mondays.
So I’m wandering aimlessly around Channelside with a pizza muse. Ahhhh! Precinct Pizza! Score!
So I’ve been here before, and I’ve ordered deliver from here before. I LOVE this place. They have fried raviolis. Enough said.
So I’m glancing at the menu, and Io and behold, they have salads! Hadn’t noticed those there before. Hmmm. Ok, I’ll bite. I’ll order a salad and compare it against the Fabrica Pizza place. Sounds fair.
So I homed in on the Channelside Cold Cut Combo salad. Ham, salami and pepperoni. Yeah. The salad from Fabrica was devoid of non lettuce stuff. The little it had was chopped so small I could hardly find it or taste it.
Oh, and they sell Garlic Knots here. You know, bread. To go with the salad. I got me some. Because I’m not a health nut. Although I do need to lose weight. But salad without bread is like pizza without cheese. It just ain’t right.
So my salad came.
Holly Molly.
There be meat here!
So, who orders salad in a pizza place? Yes, I know, but if you are going to order one, it better have STUFF in it. Lots of stuff. Precinct delivers. Pun not intended.
Precinct has table service. It’s a tad less fancy that Fabrica. Can’t compare the pizzas though. Haven’t tried the Fabrica pizza yet. But the pizza here is awesome. And so is the salad.
And they have bread. So kudos to Precinct. I’m coming back.

This was by far the best experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The facility was near spotless, the food was amazing and the staff was friendly. I had some «Fried Ravioli» and some Buffalo Wings. The root beer is extremely sweet which makes it even better.
The Fried Ravioli was cooked precisely, evenly coated with batter all around. The breaded ravioli was fresh and delivered as soon as it was fresh off of the deep frier. The Buffalo Wings were perfectly, and evenly seasoned with sauce. The celery that came with the Wings were crisp and cool. I wish I lived in Tampa so I could come here all of the time! (I recommend a location in Virginia!)

Precinct Pizza has just become my new #1 spot in Tampa for NY style Pizza!
As a former NYCer i was real excited to take a visit here due to the NYC theme of the restaurant. As soon as you step inside i immediately had flash backs of the city as I felt like i was transported back to NYC. With familiar NY subway signs & NY sports pictures plastered all over the wall i felt at home. The walls were also covered with badges from various NYPD, FDNY & EMT departments from back home which added a cool touch to the restaurant. You could really tell that the owners put alot of time into this restaurant as there’s just so much memorabilia to glance at!
As for the pizza, I could tell the quality of the ingredients they used was fresh. when i took a bite of my slice, the mozzarella stuck to the crust causing the strands to slowly pull away and just proves the quality of their cheese. I always order my pizza extra crispy and as some places may tend to over cook my order, Precinct cooked mines to perfection! A slice was $ 2.65 which is not bad considering i was used to paying $ 2.75 for a slice back home.
… but what really blew me away was their garlic knots. MY god these might have been the BEST GARLIC KNOTS i have ever had in my life … maybe even better than the ones i have had in a NYC pizzeria! Each knot was HUGE & had a little burn to it which gave each piece an excellent crisp. We ordered 4 and they covered the whole basket it was served in. Not too obnoxious with being overly garlicy, it was a nice combination and went well with the marinara sauce they served it with. this should be a MUST with every order.
and the canolis … leave the gun take the cannoli (sorry couldn’t resist!) … I haven’t had a good one since walking the streets in little italy. this one was freaking amazing. Loved the chocolate chips it was served with! A great way to cap the meal!
i also loved that each dish on their menu was named after different parts of NYC adding to the nostalgia of the restaurant.
Its honestly been a VERY long time since ive been SO satisfied by a meal. Thank you Precinct Pizza, I will def be coming back for seconds!
