    Went for an early dinner, and the salads (Emerald Coast salad and the Tunapalooza salad) were very good. I didn't quite understand the wierd shape bowls they came in. Staff was friendly and overall the atmosphere was pleasant.

    We needed lunch near the Kirkwood Performance Center & absolutely loved our salads here! Unique food options were very fresh & flavorful. I only regret I don't live in the area, or I would be here often!! Located in a beautiful plaza!

    Nice, more upscale pizza, soup and salad place. You pay for your food, pick a table and they will bring it out to you. They also clear the table for you. You can customize the pizzas to your liking and everything was really fresh. Would definitely go again

    Went with a friend for lunch and loved it! They have a "Two for You" that was great. I had the Mushroom Bisque and the Chicken Chipotle salad. Both were amazing! I'll certainly be back.

    Food was good. Service was a little annoying. Ordered two pizzas, a salad, and a sandwich. The salad you make as you go down the line, the pizzas came out pretty quick, but they didn't start making the sandwich until the people who ordered pizza were almost finished eating. And then seemed confused when we asked how long the sandwich was going to be. Dough on the pizza had quite a nice texture, and the balance of cheese, toppings and sauce was pretty nice. All in all, would do it again, but hopefully have the timing of things make more sense.

    The light fixtures have a layer of dust and you can see it in pictures from other reviewers; menu was overwhelming. For cold stuff you wait for them to make it so they won’t bring your salad to you. The salads bowls are shaped weird, and the forks are oddly large. Food was healthy but the Mona Lisa was good.

    I tried the Play Gloria salad and I added grilled chicken. It has field greens with blueberries, strawberries, cranberries, candied walnuts and blue cheese with cranberry poppyseed salad dressing. It looked fabulous and tasted great but. There were a couple chunks of chicken that were purple on the side. It probably contained a vein but visually it was very unappealing. Please cut those veins out before you serve it. We arrived around 6pm for dinner. They are very efficient in making salads and they keep the place organized and clean. The restaurant had the a/c running nonstop. We moved tables to get away from the draft. They are in a courtyard with 4-5 other businesses. The best place to park is south of the building and the next best is on the north side of the building.

    Love their food. You can create your own bowl or pizza. Their GF pizza crust was amazing. Veggie mash. Yum. Friendly

  • 4/5 Rene B. 1 year ago on Google
    Flavors were great. Salad was almost $18 and had no protein, so it seems a little over priced.

    Been to this place twice and I absolutely love it. That queen margherita pizza is to die for. The atmosphere and the location of the place are just amazing. I highly recommend!!!

    I always love that this pear is on fire from crushed red. TUNAPALOOZA looked amazing. This location is lovely in that they have both indoor and ample outdoor seating. It was even better that they had 🌂, so it was nice and shaded. The workers didn't rush you even when the line was rather large. They made sure that you got what you wanted and offered suggestions if you wanted something about your meal changed.

    Very disappointed. A friend recommended we eat at this place. She did tell me that there was not table service but instead one needed to go up and order. I ordered a Cobb salad and a diet cola. I was given a cup and directed to a bar where there were soda and tea was available for self service. I was charged $3.49 for the drink. Possibly the most insulting part of the experience was a TIP WAS ADDED TO THE BILL that I needed to adjust if I wanted to change. For what? What service was I tipping? So far had walked around to different stations to get my salad, wait in line to check out, wait again as the cashier helped another person who approached them. The soda fountain did not have take home cups, so for me, I was charged $3.49 for one soda and I did not get any refills, nor a to go cup. Why would I chose to eat here? I won’t chose to eat here in the future.

    Their salads are very good and moderately priced. They have a really good variety and unique salads. Their flat bread pizzas are just ok, the value: portion size vs cost vs taste is below average. Service is very slow which can be frustrating but the people are very friendly

  • 1/5 Casey F. 1 year ago on Google
    Been here many times in the past and used to love the food. Recently went here and the prices have just become absolutely ridiculous. $40 for a salad, small pizza and hummus…are you kidding me? The food is decent but not good enough to be charging these prices especially considering the portion sizes. Large salads are half filled and the pizzas could barely feed one person if you don’t get anything else.

  • 3/5 Joee0201 1 year ago on Google
    Food is good, for some reason they serve it in plates to small for the pizza which is dumb and salads in small bowls were both guarantees your food touches the table.

  • 2/5 MBTendai 1 year ago on Google
    Everything taste like sugar!? Put a sugar content on your menu if it taste so much like sugar? Lacking service of any kind, menu is somewhat hard to read. The red on the menu diverts from your eyes making the menu difficult to read. Small font does not help also. Something on the pizza tasted as if it had sugar in it.

    Had the gluten-free pizza; wasn't impressed. It wasn't very flavorful. Didn't really care for the texture of the crust. My wife had a salad and it was excellent.

  • 4/5 Toffet V. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is good, if not a bit eclectic. Several good vegetarian offerings, Frankly, something for everybody. Location is great, particularly if the weather is nice enough to sit outside. Ordering is more confusing than it needs to be, which I'm reminded of any time I'm with somebody who's never been there, and the staff rarely has sympathy for the confusion.

    I Dined here last night and our dinner was ruined by staff screaming at a group of guests. The food is mediocre at best and my wife and I felt so awkward sitting here when this situation occured. Very unprofessional by the staff. Shame on them. Our children were scared and this was not family friendly. Never visiting again.

    Been here more than a few times. Mostly good experiences. This last time, yesterday, was the worst yet. I ordered the warmed goat cheese spread. Normally this is my favorite dish, but this time there was more almonds and cranberries than cheese. And my friend had the same issue with hers. She also got a pick 2 and the salad was as small as the cup of goat cheese. This place has always been on the expensive side, but, this made it absolutely ridiculous.

    Nice setting, did wait a decent amount of time for our food, but there were a lot of customers sitting outdoors so maybe they were busier than it appeared. Food was tasty.

  • 2/5 Brian W. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is fantastic but the service lacked. Nice dining area but that didn't seem to match up with the cafeteria feel of the food ordering and prep area. We ordered online and I showed up a little early so I expected to wait a little. The cashier told me it would be just a few minutes. I was completely ignored and waited 25 minutes. I could have just ordered there instead and got served twice as fast. Finally when the order was ready they didn't seem to have a good system for checking the order contents as she unstapled the bag to sort through. I appreciated her checking but you really should have a better system. I would go again but no chance on the online and pick up option.

    I’m a certified foodie! I love to try new foods and new restaurants. I tried this restaurant for the first time and will not be back! The food was disappointing as well as the atmosphere! I had a longer than usual wait for my food and the staff was rude! Not to mention the more than apparent racism! I witnessed a delivery driver come into the restaurant and show a staff member his phone, explaining he had a notification the the order was ready. The delivery guy was black. A white guy walked in after him with several orders to pick up. The staff made the white guys orders while the black waited. I heard the staff tell him they were going to get started on his order! Get started! I felt bad for the guy because he waited for at least an hour! POOR SERVICE POOR ATTITUDES AND FOOD I CAN PREPARE AT HOME!!!

    My family and I went to crushed red last night because my kids are gluten free and they had gluten free pizza. Unfortunately the gluten free pizza was terrible - my kids wouldn’t even eat it. And to top it off they were $4 more for each gluten free crust. So we paid $15+ each for two very small pizzas that no one would eat. If you’re gluten free don’t bother with this pizza - dominos has much better gluten free pizza for a lot less money.

    I don’t think I’ve ever given one star. We were In line ordering salad ( create your own). First thing I saw was brown Romain lettuce . Not a few pieces but ALL throughout. I passed and chose spinach even though I don’t particularly like it. I’m now seeing slimy leaves here and there… I start to look ahead at what else I’ll. be adding and you might as well have had spiders and cockroaches crawling up the glass partisan because it looked like the produce had been sitting out for a week! The onions were completely translucent as were the cucumbers which I’ve never seen before. I pointed out the brown lettuce and she looked like I was crazy and said, “ it’s put out fresh every day”. Like she’s looking at this stuff and whether she saw the spoiled food or not was completely okay serving it and had been to whomever was before me. We turned around and went to Mod pizza instead!! By the way, Mod had much of the same ingredients but completely fresh! I will never return to this location. It must be franchised because Clayton is excellent.
