Formaggio Pizza & Italian Restaurant

I can only comment on the pepperoni slice to go that I ate hastily in my car. It was hot, and had a nice thin crust. A bit limp in the middle, but really perfect at the crust edge. Not too thick, crisp/chewy in the best sort of way. I will definitely return to try some other items from the menu.

This is the closest restaurant to our new home and yet it took us over 6 months to try it! Being from NYC, I miss good pizza, which every transplant knows is very difficult to find in FL. I was skeptical about trying here but we wasted time and money on so many mediocre and bland places in town so we had to at least give it a try. Since we tried it, we have been visiting 1-3 times a week! I even dined here alone when hubs was traveling out of town.The parking lot is tight but there are plenty of spots. Be expected to park by the next row of stores because this place can get really busy. There is enough seating for at least 60 people to dine in. I think the longest we have ever waited for a table was 5 minutes. The menu is also not extensive but you have plenty of options. There are specials for pizza and pasta Monday-Thursdays. Speaking of, they are only open Monday-Friday and close at 8pm except on Friday night, which is 9pm. I wish they were open on Saturdays or until 9pm all days because I am always rushing to get here since I work most days until 6-6:30pm. We always see patrons walking in after 7pm to dine in so they would definitely keep busy.We usually go on Wednesdays for $2 off medium pizzas and $15 bottles of wine. Usually we order a bottle and a medium pizza each, which is 12" in size. I always order plain or cheese and hubs orders pepperoni or meat lovers. Since I am extremely adverse to ham, we sub onions for the ham in the meat lovers. Our orders are always right. There was only once there was ham so I just didn't have any, no biggie. Beer, soda, and tea is also served. You can also get takeout or order through delivery apps. The prices are decent. Not cheap but not super expensive. The pizza is so good and in my opinion, a very close comparison to NYC pizza. The pasta is really good, especially the Alfredo. OMG it's the most on point Alfredo I have had in a long time.The owners are always there and always greeting customers. It reminds me of restaurants I grew up dining in back in NYC. I miss the hospitality and you can definitely get that full here. Unfortunately our favorite server recently left but the other servers are usually on point. You will not be disappointed or hungry after dining here. Let's keep supporting the mom and pop places!

If you are looking for a neighborhood Italian restaurant with a family feel, Formaggio's is the place. Came in at the peak of the dinner rush and the place was crowded but didn't have to wait to long to get seats.Drink orders were taken before we even sat down and garlic knots came soon after.Chef Michael is the one that delivered the goods with a smile on his face and he knew a lot of the clientele by name. My wife had the white pizza with chicken. It was good, but it could have been a little crispier to her liking, but not bad. I had the stuffed shells and meatball combo. It was very good. This is a restaurant that likes to bake all of its pasta dishes, so just know that going in. A friendly place to be sure!

Amazing food!! Sampled a bit of everything and it was delicious!!! We don't live here but definitely will stop here if it's on the way to where we're going! The service was amazing as well as the mom and pop feel to the restaurant. Quaint, clean and adorable! Had the Baked Penne (the favorite of the table), cheesy bread, garlic knots, meat lovers pizza and deluxe pizza as well as the mild wings. Would recommend hands down!!

We ordered 3 16" pizzas. They were soooo delicious!Maybe next time we will eat in the restaurant as it looked so nice.Great pizza!

Excellent service, Lasagna and meatball dish was good . Good portion size, came out hot, restaurant was very clean.

This is my favorite pizza place in Ocala. The crust is fantastic. Always friendly service, and very accommodating for allergies!

I don't give out 5 star reviews for pizza in Florida because I'm from New Haven, CT and nothing comes close, but I'm going to make an exception for Formaggios. I had a caprese salad app that was excellent. The balance of tomato and mozz was spot on. My husband had the antipasto which we all shared. The portion size was generous. I would have liked to seen some mozzarella balls and banana peppers (just my suggestion to the kitchen.) We all got pizza and we ordered them well done because we are used to that charred crust and they all tasted excellent. They weren't hand tossed but it didn't take away from the quality. Our server was so friendly and accommodating. I would have no problem recommending this place.

We ordered their lasagna and antipasto. Delicious. The lasagna noodles were cooked perfectly and the sauce was spot on.

Just moved to Ocala 3 months ago from Long Island , been trying to find good pizza, So glad we tried this place the pizza wasn't just good it was GREAT and A+ service what a great restaurant!!!
