The Violet Stone Pizzeria

The sauce is great, very authentic New York. The crust was crisp, limited flop but slightly over chard. ‘Char’ is a strong flavor note so if that’s something you prefer you’ll love this. Toward the crust it can be over powering. The slice improves as it cools. Let it sit for 15 mins before eating to allow the cheese flavor to bloom. It’s drown out by the sauce when it’s fresh out the oven. Not overly heavy, very snackable. Overall best Pizza I’ve tried in Tampa. Dial the char down 20% would be ideal

Too much char. Really nothing special.

Best pizza in Tampa Bay Area by a country mile

I love well-done pizzas that are coal fire, but this one was black all the way through on the crust couldn’t eat it, but it looked like a great quality pizza. I’ll have to give it a try again.. the Philadelphia Cheese steak eggrolls were awesome

This is some really great pizza. Nice char, nice bubbles in the crust, a good amount of chew to it and the toppings are packed with flavor. One of the best in the Tampa Bay Area.

A Great pizza for Florida, in the Tampa Bay Region; especially with that humidity. This is a 16-inch sausage & pepperoni classic style it wasn't on the menu $27. They also have a great cheesesteak $17. I ended up getting both. The only thing I didn't like was the cheap ass metal screen that the pizza was served on. Why ? Because they put the pizza with the screen on an elevated stand, and when you eat too much pizza on one side, the tray has no supporting weight behind it and the whole thing will fall & slide off the elevated stand. To which I lost a slice because it slid off the stand and fell onto the floor.

Pizza was very good, no flop once cooled.

Didn’t take a picture when it was fresh cause I was too busy eating it. Delicious, true NY style. Very solid

Best pizza in St Pete!! Hands down

Crispy and delicious. Sauce is incredible.

Here for the cheesesteak. It was ok. I’ve had better at Colonial Hoagie for $12 or even up in Dunedin at Delcos for $9.25!! Here they use as much meat as Delcos but almost twice as expensive. Bread here was hard in some spots as if it sat awhile after the toast. No sweet peppers here. No lettuce or additional condiments. So its the drive to Delcos for the size, bread and costs especially. Colonial comes in 2nd for the bread and toppings. Sorry Violet, but maybe your pizza will redeem my palette…

Pizza was great and so was the cheesesteak will definitely be back

Best pizza in Florida Inhave had so far. Great crust, nice crisp, and so damn good!!!

Could’ve used a bit longer in the oven I would say, decent bit of flop not much char. Would not say it was “well done” as advertised. I also was there at first open and probably one of the first 5-10 pizzas of the day. Crust was good and light, sauce was simple and cheese was a classic grande mozz. Besides the flop not a bad pie

Pizza could use a bit more tang. Cheese steak was good but the bread I was hoping for it to be more fresh than mass produced and was not toasted

The pizza (6.5) had good flavor, but definitely was very greasy. Floppy crust and the toppings fell off when moving the slice. Cheesesteak 9.0

Better than advertised! Amazing cheese and crust.

heavenly

Interesting spot. Middle of nowhere in a semi residential area lol. Not very accommodating or welcoming. Pizza was nice and well done but bland. Nothing special. Just two surprisingly bland slices. I’m trying to like it but it’s giving me nothing 😂 Wouldn’t put on my to do list in St Pete. Drove 2 1/2hrs for two nice slices of disappointment and low quality customer service 😮‍💨 But atleast I can salvage my experience cause I’m in St Pete and this city’s amazing 🤘🏽🙃
