#1 Giovannis Pizza
I was pleasantly surprised when I stepped into the restaurant. The atmosphere was so inviting, with classic Italian music playing in the background and a cozy, homey feel.
The pizza menu had so many different options that it was difficult to choose just one! From their classic cheese pizza to the more creative toppings and sauces, all of their pizzas are made with an abundance of care and attention.
As for the pizza itself, it was truly delicious! The crust is perfectly thin and crispy while still managing to be soft on the inside. The flavor combinations that they use were out of this world – none of them too heavy or overwhelming – just right!
My favorite part about my experience here was definitely how friendly the staff were. They always took time to talk to me about their menu items and really showed genuine interest in my feedback. This added an extra bonus to what seemed like already exemplary service.

The atmosphere is great, with vintage sports memorabilia hanging on the walls and a cool retro vibe. They have plenty of vegetarian options available too, which is the perfect option for me.
Unfortunately they don’t offer delivery, so you have to go there in person to get your pizza fix. But that’s fine with me, because I love their food and atmosphere! The pizza crust is thin and flavorful, with just the right amount of crunch. The cheese is always fresh and gooey and the toppings are generous and quality.

The dough was cooked perfectly, with a crispy bottom and soft top. The crust was slightly chewy and fragrant, thanks to their special blend of seasonings and herbs. There’s nothing like the flavor combinations that come out of their oven!
The best part about C&E Fresh Pizza is their sauce. It’s lightly sweet with a perfect balance of garlic and spices that infuse deeply into the cheese and toppings. From classic pepperoni to roasted vegetables – all their pies have a savory depth that’s hard to beat.
I’d definitely recommend C&E Fresh Pizza if you’re looking for the best pizza in Palm Harbor. You won’t be disappointed!
#4 Piper’s Scratch Pizza Shop

The shop itself is cozy and inviting, and the owners are always cheerful and welcoming. The pizza chefs really know what they’re doing because each pie was perfectly cooked with a perfectly crisp crust every time I visited.
I also have to mention their selection of toppings—it’s unlike anything I’ve seen before! They’ve got all the classics like pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions, olives, etc., but then they also have some truly unique options like black olives stuffed with feta cheese or Sriracha-infused tomatoes.
Overall, the prices are incredibly reasonable for what you get (the quality of ingredients is top-notch) and piping hot slices come out in no time. If you’re looking for the best pizza in Palm Harbor, this is it!

Let me start by describing the atmosphere of this charming little pizza joint. The restaurant is small and cozy, with dim lights and soft music playing in the background, giving it a great ambiance.
The service was outstanding: everyone was friendly and welcoming, which put me right at ease. I could tell right away that they took great pride in providing excellent customer service.
Now for the most important part – the pizza! After much deliberation I finally decided to try their signature Three Brothers Supreme Pizza. It was absolutely delicious, made with fresh ingredients on a perfectly crisp crust. The creamy cheese and savory toppings paired well together, as did the sweet and tangy marinara sauce.

#10 Jet’s Pizza
- Offers dessert
First of all, the crust was perfect. It had just the right crunch and flavor that you want in a pizza crust. The sauce was made with fresh tomato and herbs, which really added to the distinct flavor. The cheese was also nicely melted on top – not too cheesey, but enough to make it really enjoyable.
But perhaps the best part of Jet’s Pizza is the toppings. They offer a wide selection of flavors (including some unusual options like feta and spinach), each one carefully prepared and served fresh. Even better is their ‘double dough’ option that adds extra crust around the edges for a delicious twist!
Overall, Jet’s Pizza definitely earned its title as “best pizza in Palm Harbor”. If you’re ever in town, be sure to stop by and try it yourself – I promise you won’t be disappointed!
#11 Gino’s New York Style Pizzeria Tampa Rd Location
- Offers dessert
- Serves alcohol
- Has a kid’s menu
The first thing that struck me when I walked in was the smell – it was a heady mix of wonderful, savory pizza and doughy goodness. The atmosphere itself was bustling, but friendly – everyone seemed to be having a great time, which put me in the perfect frame of mind to enjoy the pizza.
When it came to ordering, it took all of my willpower not to just order one of everything on the menu – there were so many delicious sounding options! In the end though, I decided to go for their classic Margherita pizza and boy am I glad I did! The crust was thick and crunchy but still manageably thin enough that my fork could still handle it. The cheese was wonderfully stringy and gave off a slight hint of smokiness, while the tomatoes were wonderfully sweet and ripe. It truly ticked all the boxes for me!
To top it all off, Gino’s even had live music playing in the background during my meal. It added an extra element of joy to what already felt like an excellent night out with friends.
All in all, this really is some of the best pizza in Palm Harbor that you can find. If you’re ever in town looking for a great slice make sure you take a trip down to Gino’s!
#12 Joey’s New York Pizza & Italian Restaurant
- Has some vegetarian options
- Serves alcohol
- Has a kid’s menu
- Nice tourist spot
- Has insanely good dessert
I have to admit, I was skeptical at first. After all, how could pizza from such a small town measure up to the pizza I’ve had in Italy and New York? But after one bite of Joey’s margherita pizza, I knew I’d found something special. The cheese was perfectly melted, the sauce had an amazing flavor, and the crust was delightfully thin and crunchy.
The service was great too. Our server was friendly and accommodating, even after we asked for extra Parmesan cheese on our pies! He even brought us a complimentary appetizer when he saw us eyeing it longingly while we waited for our meal.
I absolutely loved my experience at Joey’s New York Pizza & Italian Restaurant! It definitely deserves its reputation as the best pizza in Palm Harbor. If you haven’t been there yet, go right now—you won’t regret it!
