Chefing It UP Pizza Cafe

Regular NY style crust, is very, very good. Practically no flop, good cheese, well-rounded, flavorful, not-to-sweet sauce. Not greasy. Excellent Sicilian pizza. Might be the best in Central Florida. 7.6 regular crust 8.1 Sicilian.

The best pie I’ve had in the area over the past year. Absolutely zero flop on this pie. The sauce is sweeter than most and flavorful. Nice amount of toppings. If I have any criticism it would be that it is a little greasy but not enough to make it sag.

Yes. It’s that good… an 8️⃣.5️⃣8️⃣5️⃣9️⃣5️⃣9️⃣ all day long because you know why? I said so. Stumbled on this as I’m sitting at a red light and looking at a building I have no idea what it was; but I saw the Flag of Italy in one of the windows. Then it hit me, it’s s pizza shop, with a truly messed up name that I still had/have a hard time wondering what it was called??????I figured what the heck, even though the place has very little curb appeal it’s prolly owned by an Italian so, I’ll give it a whirl. Extremely delighted I did. First time there was 1/25/23. Second time last week. 5/9/23 Both time it’s an 8.58 to 8.6. Consistency is key in the pizza game, and this place gets that. This pizza is made wit LuV … no doubt about that. Good ‘ol Brooklyn guy spinning thin crust NY Style pizzas down in good ‘ol SuNNy FLa🌞Don’t let the place fool ya. It’s small. It’s unique. It’s rustic. It screams NY. Vincent is the best! He’s Chefing It Up alright. . . and that’s why this is in the “drive an hour to experience this place” type of joint. Bonus: homemade cannoli’s and tiramisu. Made by Vincent as well. They are absolutely in the 9.2 range. I’m not shittin’, he has got a menu where everything he makes is perfect and just the way he wants it. And that’s the customer to love their food. Go see Vincent. Now.

Saw the Mets in the window, had a feeling. Walked in to them under construction, shook some hands, had a feeling. Owner named Vinnie, from Queens NY, had a feeling. Next day grab a pie, personal cheese pizza, open the box, had a feeling. Didn't even need to take a bite to know it was gonna be crispy. 0 flop. Beautiful undercarriage, beautiful cheese that pulled like butter but was firm. Now, I did get the 12" cheese, not a large topping pie. I'm going gold medal slices here. First bite, forget about it. Second bite went straight to the crust. Phenomenal. Crispy as can be, you could hear me eating it outside the car. $8 for a personal pie is a stinking steal. If you live in the Groveland, Clermont, and Mascotte area and haven't been to this joint, wake up. Get down here and get some real pizza in you for a change. 8.4, that's a review.
