Brick & Fire serves up brick oven pizza, as well as the usual fare of Italian cuisine. Their pizza is cheesy, really cheesy. I normally like extra cheese, but I didn’t even ask for it here, and it felt like a ton of cheese. It was too much cheese to enjoy the pizza. It might have been better if the pizza was cooked a little longer making the cheese crispier. One thing I found odd about the restaurant is that it is a sit down restaurant, you have a server take your order and bring your food to you, but the drinks are self serve. I guess you could look at it as nice that you don’t have to wait for refills, but the mix of service and self-service creates an inconsistent experience. The food here wasn’t terrible, but not my cup of tea. I wouldn’t tell someone to avoid this place, but I wouldn’t recommend it either. There are plenty of good pizza places in Orlando that you don’t have to eat at this one.

Carmela’s

Carmela’s serves up pizza and the usual Italian fare. The food is alright, but nothing special really. The restaurant is quiet, and mostly empty at lunch time. I found it odd that the restaurant was so empty, yet we were sat at a booth with a giant rip in the middle of the seat. There were plenty of empty tables, and even other empty booths. Also, the rip wasn’t even taped up. Otherwise, the service was good.

Overall, I wasn’t really impressed with Carmela’s. I wouldn’t recommend them, and there are plenty of pizza places in town, and plenty that are better than this.

Panino’s Pizza & Grill

Panino’s Pizza is located in the heart of downtown Orlando. They have generous portions, a friendly staff, and great deals. On Mondays and Tuesdays, they offer $1.50 slices of cheese pizza, and discounts on slices of all their specialty pizza. Their slices are big too. One slice should leave you satisfied, and after two slices, you should be stuffed. It’s definitely a great place to grab lunch downtown.

Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza

Price: $8-$12

I wasn’t really impressed with the pizza. You don’t have to wait long for it, since it bakes in about 4 minutes in the coal fired ovens, but the pizza wasn’t anything special. It didn’t have a unique flavor that I expected from the coal fired ovens. The wings on the other hand were excellent. They don’t come with any sauce, but they’re seasoned to perfection. They’re topped with a huge pile of grilled onions which were some of the most flavorful onions I’ve ever tasted, and the wings also come with 2 slices of garlic bread.

The service is good, nothing out of the ordinary. The place is clean, and the atmosphere is enjoyable. I would recommend skipping the pizza though and going straight for the wings.
