Pajano's Pizza and Subs

TL:DR: Go a few hundred feet north to TJ's or Chicago Jaxq for way better value and actual flavor. Price: Large cheese w/ 1 topping (meatball) $28 before tip. Turns out meatballs as a topping are an extra $8 vs normal toppings $2.75 each. This would have been nice to be told on the phone when ordering. Taste: The 4 inches of pure crust on each slice is inedible cardboard. Everything (sauce/ dough/ cheese) was flavorless including the meatballs that were expected to be made from gold. Don't mistake the burn bubbles for meatballs. The food here used to be really good, it's sad to see where it's gone in terms of food quality and value.

It was Friday afternoon and I out cruising the beach in search of another pizza joint that serves slices...Didn't realize how tough it was to find slices, there's even a place called Slyce and they don't serve slices, you have to order a personal size pizza.I was checking out the map app and found this place and made it my next pizza slice destination. You really have to read between the lines when checking reviews, glad I did, some people just can't be satisfied.It was around one thirty in the afternoon, a few people were in and a few were leaving, good sign. As I walked in I could see this place was really clean and in order.Stepped up to the window and ordered my two slices as I always do and a drink. It came in a can and they asked if I wanted a cup with ice, how nice. I declined for the can was really cold.Sat down and it wasn't long before my slices arrived, hot and crispy. Took my first bite and wow, great tasting sauce and the cheese was stringy. The crust was not like any other NY style pie I've had. Not sure what the others meant by tasteless, all I could figure is that they had to be smokers and killed their taste-buds. And the people working that day could not have been more nice. Had a good conversation regarding their cats, I like cats. This will be my pizza joint when I'm in the area for a cruise. Peace.

I thought the pizza was good but a bit bland, I prefer a bit of herbs in the sauce or on the pie. I thought the pizza is a fair price for the size and all the toppings were fresh. We had a large antipasti salad, it was a good size and generous amount of meat and cheese. We bought 3 pies and the salad and when I requested an extra salad dressing I was informed it was an extra $1. I think on a large order and a large salad that this $1 is a bit cheesy (pun intended). Overall was a clean place, quickly prepared, and a decent value. I would be tempted to try a different pizza place before I returned here just to see what else is out there.

Excellent service and food. We live in IRB and have been coming here for years. My wife and i are trying to cut back on processed meat products so we ordered the Veggie pizza. Awesome!! Please find pics attached. Thanks

I love places that put their money into the ingredients, such as Pajano's! The place is clean and organized, and the food steals the show. Our party had to leave the beach around lunchtime because of the rain, so we ran across the street to Pajano's. The 14" Super Pizzas and two salads (a garden and antipasto each) perfectly fit our party of 7 adults. Everything was wonderfully fresh, and their crust got compliments from all.

Love coming to this place with my family for delicious pizza and a good time! It's so convenient I also order and pick up on my way home.

Decided to try this Pizza place, especially since the proprietors were so helpful after the hurricanes.It turned out to be the best pizza we have had in the 6 years we have lived here! Certainly not a too-crusty chain brand, the dough and toppings were excellent, and perfectly proportioned. Have yet to try there other offerings, but...GO for the Pizza!

Pizza was delicious and piping hot. 3 large pizzas was almost too much food for our party of 7. Great menu selection and not too many options to get lost in, but everything you could need.Ordered take out and they said 45 minutes but it was ready in 25. Staff was very friendly. Recommend this place highly for Indian rocks beach or south Clearwater beach people!

From the initial phone call to order takeout/pickup, we have nothing but praise for the professional and cordial service the young lady that took our order gave us! As we entered the small restaurant we were pleasantly greeted once again to a business that was well organized and clean! The quality of ingredients that was later proven by the taste of the food, is always exemplified by the aroma of great Italian food! I would not hesitate to recommend Pajanos Pizza as they are in our opinion one of the best in the Indian Rocks Beach area!

Good as heck pizza, could eat it everyday very nice and fast service. Old School ambiance, great to eat in
