    This is a photo of there “Deep Dish” pizza, there are more toppings on hungry howies cheesy bread. Very disappointed and really upset about this almost 30$ flavored bread. Maybe just maybe if I had received both pizzas that I ordered I might have enjoyed it. I only got half of my order…. So 80$ for a piece of bread and lettuce, this is the salad and the dressing that we did get!! You can’t see the dressing because they gave us a tablespoon of it… so sad!

    It was a good New York style pizzeria. Great value for the topping portions. The calzone in the photo was heavy ricotta light mozzarella (I prefer more of a balance between the two). Nicely flavored tomato sauce. The only disconcerting thing was only one member of staff was wearing a mask. We ate in but definitely will do to-go in the future.

    Sadly the quality of this place has gone down. I placed an order today for a large pepperoni pizza and it will be the last. On several occasions I come home from a carry out order to discover the pizza is completely burnt. My kids really like Esposito but we will no longer be ordering pizzas from here. The managers are great on giving a credit or remaking the pizza however this is now the 4th time this has happened. At this point I don’t believe Espositos care about quality.

    Best pizza dough I've had in a very long time!! I got a make your own calzone with mushrooms green peppers and artichoke and a order of mozzarella sticks. The mozz sticks are your typical frozen moz sticks but the calzone..... was awesome! What a great combo of ad ins I will def remember that next time I order. The way they constructed the calzone was perfect! The cheeses over the whole base and the ad ins on the fold half. Which for me was perfect and let me have just cheese bites and topping bites. The ad ins were really nice big pieces, Attached pic of one of the artichokes in the calzone. The dough... cooked to perfection, tender in the middle and thick chewy edges. The top brushed with butter and nice sprinkling of Parmesan. The only thing this calzone lacked was a sauce to dip it in but I just used the sauce from the moz sticks. I will def order again.

    Excellent pizza, but staff are idiots! Simple order, took the girl 3 times to comprehend it! Next time we go it’s 8:00 on a Saturday. They’re all packing up ready to go. I said the door says 9:00 close! They replies dining room is closed at 8:00. You’ll have to take it to go! Restaurants have really gone in the crapper! They lost my business!

    Best pizza in Plant City and East Brandon. They even have artichokes!!!! Tiramisu ( home made), chocolate cheesecake to die for and carrot cake… will not regret it… Oh, if there is left overs pizza, three days later it is as good as the first day.

    Worst pizza I have ever had. The onions were burnt an there was a large burnt substance between the cheeses and the crust.

    Pizza was good, but the crust should've been a little thinner. My husband really liked the wings. The mozzarella sticks tasted like something you'd get from the grocery store frozen section, so probably won't get those again. Would be nice if they had an actual website. Will likely order again!

    I have been going to Esposito for awhile and I've alwahad a good meal but thus time my daughter brought me chicken Alfredo and it was horrible it was runny and no flavor had the taste and consistency of a cheap microwave dinner and for 18 dollars the portion was a kids size so I really don't think I'll be back I'd rather try my hand at fazolis

    Espos is a local family favorite. Pizza and side salad are delicious, but prices have gone up significantly. Even lunch portions are $10+. For dine-in, my personal preference is ordering pizza cooked fresh versus having slices heated up. Entrees and pre-made desserts are generally large enough to share. Dining room is quaint with an adjacent smaller room if you're looking for privacy.

    I was very disappointed in the steak salad I ordered. It looked like ground meat on the top and the only flavor it has was from my dressing. My cousin had the ravioli and it was delicious so maybe next time that's what I will order.

    Traveling through Plant City and hungry for pizza, we found this little place. My family and I live in Lakeland and we have a couple good pizzerias. The crust was velicious, the cheese nice and gooey. But the sauce! The sauce was the best sauce that we've had on a pizza in a very long time! I know my family and I will be coming back here.

    Oh, the incredible smells that hit you when you walk in will put your appetite in overdrive, which is a good thing. Because you will want to order one of everything on the menu. Be sure and grab a dessert to take home; no disappointment there either.

    Excellent pasta, salads, soup, and bread. We had bruschetta and calamari. The ravioli ala vodka and the stuffed shells are excellent! We also had the tiramisu as well and it was really good. Everyone was very friendly and helpful.

    Me and the wife love going here, the food is great and the portions are plenty. The tiramisu is great and made there, the cheese cake they have brought in from New York City.

    Placed a catering order earlier this week and just picked it up. I cannot say enough about how friendly and seamless they made this experience for me. I highly recommend them for dinner or any catering event you have. Wonderful group of people!

  • 5/5 Mikaela W. 7 months ago on Google
    The food never fails to be hot and delicious. The ingredients are fresh from the pizza to the in-house tiramisu. I have been going the last three years and the employees are always helpful and the wall murals are nice. There is a lot of parking, easy access. There is outdoor seating covered by umbrellas with lights for at night.

    The young lady who originally took our order was very inviting and kind. The apparent owner made us feel more like the number of our order. The food was good. The price is a little high. Almost $30 for the xl pizza. The restaurant was clean. Not military friendly...

  • 1/5 Tracey S. 6 months ago on Google
    Stopped in for lunch to this casual little pizza place thinking I could grab a quick pizza lunch, special. Two slices and a drink costs me around 12 bucks. The pizza wasn't that great. Big fail!

    Good food! Decent portions!

    We are eating Jain food, and eating without onion garlic and potatoes. This place offer pizza without onion, garlic and dow has no egg too. Good pizza options.

  • 4/5 George M. 11 months ago on Google
    Pizza was good, service was acceptable. We had the chicken and broccoli pizza. The toppings were plentiful. It was a tad warm where we were sitting. There were bugs in our take home box. We were gifted a cheese cake to make up for the invaders.

    Totally recommend meatball sub garlic knots and the extra large house special Pizza

  • 3/5 Kendall B. 1 year ago on Google
    i ordered their large ricotta cheese broccoli pizza expecting it to have white sauce, only to open the box later and see that it has red sauce. so i called up there to ask if it usually comes with red sauce, and the woman on the phone said "oh, yeah when you order online it doesn't specify if you want red or white sauce, so we just went with red to be safe". i then asked "do most people order it with the red sauce?" to which she replied "no, most people get it with white but we weren't sure so we just did red to be safe", which makes no sense. if most people get it with white, then how is red the safer option? anyway, after that call i went back to their website to see the description of the pizza in case i missed something, and it literally starts with "our pizza bianca..." which is, according to their own description as well, a white pizza. there are multiple other pizza options that start with "choose either our classic red cheese pizza or our white pizza", but the one i ordered specifically says it's their pizza bianca. so i then called back to order the pizza but with white sauce, and the guy who answered the phone was kinda rude and cut me off saying "hold on hold on" as i was explaining that i didn't like it with the red sauce, then told me to give him a few and hung up. then when i arrived to the store to pick up the pizza, there was another guy there who rang me up and i got charged for that one as well. so i spent essentially $50 all together for a mistake that wasn't even my fault lol. pizza is good though so 3 stars

    When we walked in we were not greeted, the workers stared at us as we sat down and looked at a menu. We had to ask if there was a server or do we order on our own and the gentleman responded order here! with a very rude look. I will never visit this place again, very rude! I will never spend my hard earned money somewhere that doesn’t even speak to their customers. I bet the food is disgusting just like the attitudes of the employees! We went to a black owned business instead 😎

  • 1/5 Steve 1 year ago on Google
    The staff is pleasant, but the pizza is horrible. I ordered 3 slices: a meat lovers, a white slice and a cheese slice with a fountain root beer. They gave me eggplant instead of the cheese and charged me almost $16.00!! The pizza was disgusting, the crust was bad, the sauce and cheese had no flavor at all and the price was obscene! Anthony’s Coal Fired pizza is 1000% better. Don’t waste you time or money here and there is no reason to punish your taste buds or your stomach!

    Pizza is gross. They deleted my last review because I mentioned their rodent problem. Picking up an order I saw a rat. THIS PLACE IS GROSS. If they delete this review I’m going to contact the Florida health department.

  • 5/5 CRYPTO D. 1 year ago on Google
    Best pizza in Florida with a catch! They got the 50 year old ovens and total New York style not big box retail pizza. 10/10 Score on Pizza

  • 4/5 Christine A. 1 year ago on Google
    Pizza looked and smelled great. We tried two pasta dishes instead and they were good. (Spaghetti and meatballs and Lobster ravioli). Will go back to try their pizza.

  • 3/5 Julie B. 1 year ago on Google
    Counter staff very unfriendly. Ordered 2 pasta entrees, calzone, and pizza. Dine in. Brought the two pasta orders out right away, we sat and waited 10 minutes! for the other entrees to come out. Flavor was okay but we definitely won't be back.

  • 5/5 Michelle Watson Purpleshell P. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious Strawberry walnut salad. Perfectly cooked Calzones were amazing. Great amount of cheese and toppings. Love their sweet, coffee- laden tiramisu. I don't like having to stand at the counter to order. But the food is worth it.
