🍕 Palace Pizza | 👍 169 reviews | 📍 114 S. Kentucky Ave. or 5235 US-98.

“Let's start by, I wish I could give it more stars...I'm used to good authentic Italian...I had a slice of chicken balsamic pizza and shared the eggplant parmigiana. The gravy, unbelievable...Garlic knots were out of this world. Chocolate cake and cannolis, yummy.” – Sunshine S.

🍕 Il Forno Italian Restaurant | 👍 99 reviews | 📍 3615 S. Florida Ave.

“A taste of home...never settle for anything less. At II Forno, you will experience quality Italian fare made with love and served with care...The lasagna with ground beef and sausage? Superb. The Penne Alla Vodka? Sublime. I could drink that sauce as part of my regular diet. Go, see, eat, drink, be merry.” – Michelle M.

🍕 KC’s Artisan Pizza and Wine Bar | 👍 40 Reviews | 📍 6645 S. Florida Ave.

“Increasing my rating to 5 stars. During my most recent visits, they have raised their pizza game to an excellent level. They have figured out how to manipulate and work their wood-burning oven, and are consistently producing outstanding pizzas. When you take into account the rest of their excellent food, they are now 5 stars.” – Carlos D.

🍕 MJ’s Pizza and Wings | 👍 40 reviews | 📍 1747 E. Edgewood Dr.

“It's really difficult to find a good New York style pizza here in central Florida, but I feel lucky I found MJ's Pizza on E. Edgewood Drive. This is the only place I patronize for "real pizza." I highly recommend it.” – Pete J.

🍕 Primo’s Pizzeria | 👍 39 reviews | 📍 1031 S. Combee Rd.

“I am always looking for the best pizza wherever I am. Just got Primo's large works pizza and believe I've found the best in Lakeland! I've been visiting Primo's a long time usually getting the steak subs and Stromboli because they are so good...now I can add their pizza to my list of favorites.” – Tom R.
