The pizza is just the right amount of cheesy and greasy for my taste. Friendly service, and a clean restaurant.

Because fast food can be good food too.

I’ve been to Josie’s Pizza and Wings dozens of times. The pizza is always great. While I always get the 2 slice lunch special, I would only imagine a fresh pie to be even better. I’ve had their wings a couple times, and while not bad, they’re nothing special either. The wings could use more sauce, and could stand to be a bit larger for the price. The service is great, and it’s never hard to find an open table.
The pizza at Mama Mia’s has a different flavor than a lot of other shops in the area. I had the 2 slice lunch special, and the slices were fresh out of the oven. It’s pretty good pizza, and reasonably priced. It’s not the best pizza in town, but I would definitely grab a couple slices if I were hungry and passing by. There’s not much room if you plan on dining in, a few bar stools against the front window and a table or two. If you do want to dine in, I wouldn’t bring a party bigger than 4 people.
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 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.
