Best Tampa-Area Spots For Chardonnay This Memorial Day | Eater

"Pizza in Tampa Bay doesn’t get any fresher than it does at Islands, where ingredients are sourced from local farmers markets. The garden-fresh slices taste especially refreshing on the pizzeria’s patio, where pairing your pie with a chilled Harken feels a little like relaxing in the hills of Tuscany." - Matthew Meltzer

Was door dashing and came to this place. I Ordered a slice while I waited. That supreme pizza slice is thin and well done. Crunchy and large slices. For $6 it was perfect. I heard draft and bottle beers start at $6 also. The liquor bar is also well stocked. The tv rotated a list of everyday specials: Monday $5 burgers, Tuesday 10$ med cheese Wed 75 cent wings Thur 10$ cheese calzones $3 corona bottles on happy hour. Etc etc. Highly recommend for a laid back vibe and well done eats. Cute low key vibe but it was 1 pm on a Tuesday so ;)

Where to start??? Their thin crust pizza is so yummy...my fav being the white pizza! Just enough garlic not to be offensive. That said, everything I've had has been fantastic and prices are so reasonable! Love going on Mondays for their $5 burger special. And only an extra $2 for fries that day! Can't. Beat. It. Then there's the service!!! We prefer to eat at the beautiful and newly remodeled bar. That's where we love chatting with Gabby...although all the staff there are so personable and attentive. Definitely, Go Here. Tell them Lorie sent you. 😉

This place has been in the upgrade over the years. It is no longer a grab a pizza with a rustic bar on the other side. It is now a tastefully designed space combing both establishments. The pizza was still good as were the wings. They felt a bit more elevated with the new decor, but the place is still casual giving me a comfortable stay a while vibe

Billye was the best bartender I’ve ever had in my life I love her so much I’m coming here everyday because of her. Rob’s wings and burgers are the best in town hands down definitely come check it out!! Marissa is also such a great bartender it makes you not want to leave the place such a great environment whenever she’s here makes you smile on your worst days.

Don’t even bother trying to get takeout from here. This is the 2nd time I’ve placed an order online and they are confused when I show up to pick it up, even after receiving an order confirmation online. Due to my last experience, I tried to call before hand to confirm the order but just got a phone tree and it went round and round. I couldn’t reach anyone. Do yourself a favor and order your pizza elsewhere. The convenience of being on the island isn’t even worth it.

Terrible experience!! My girlfriend came here to pickup food and the customers that were present were absolutely rude and distasteful. They were not only unwelcoming, but they were aggressive and malicious towards her. This environment is toxic to anyone that is not a part of their cult-like community and I would suggest not wasting your time or money on this dreadful establishment. Service sucks, customers suck, not even great food can make up for this mess. UPDATE AFTER OWNER RESPONSE: I have no idea what you are talking about. Lindy, we see, had a terrible time at your establishment as well. How dawning it must be on you all to have so many bad reviews that you can’t even keep up with em. Maybe some changes should be made to your establishment. Also, I was not even present for anything at your establishment today, I was present over the phone (with my girlfriend), so I have no idea what this domestic violence link is in reference to? Hope this helps! God bless

Guy who made the pizza came out of the kitchen, we opened the box together and he says "how does it look?" I replied "friggn amazing!". Perfect pizza here, and they care big time! I'll be back, highly recommend giving this place a try!

The pizza was surprising good, the selection of bourbons and whiskey impressive but the price structure makes no sense. I got the Woodford reserve double oak and it was $30 for one pour when the regular bottle is o my $89. I totally understand the markup but to charge $6 on certain days and $16 daily for Woodford reserves seems a bit off. In fact the E. H. Taylor normally $100 was poured for only $16. The staff is friendly and honestly all of the bar patrons were nice. I did go back two days in a row and wish they would have at least changed the soap in the men's restroom.

I had a terrible experience at Islands Pizza on Davis Islands. The older woman working there, who wear a name necklace that is silver and starts with an H I believe, who has clearly had one too many injections in her face, was extremely rude and completely incompetent. I have food allergies and needed some assistance, so I asked to speak to the manager. Unfortunately, the older male manager was absolutely no help either. Both of them were inconsiderate, incompetent, and unprofessional. Anyone managing a restaurant should have a basic understanding of food allergies and show some empathy. Instead, the manager told me he didn't want me to die in HIS restaurant from an allergic reaction. This kind of gross behavior is unacceptable. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

They don't have a delivery service so I ordered some pizzas through EZ Cater for a training being held at my place of work. They have their medium pizzas listed online as "feeds 8" but when the pizzas were delivered I was in shock. Each pizza was small with only 8 small slices. Are you kidding me? What grown adult is only eating one slice of pizza? I'm now having to run over to pick up an extra 2 pizzas myself to properly feed my team. Absolutely ridiculous and won't be ordering from here again.

I brought my family in. We had 2 medium pizzas mainly because everyone wants something different. Everyone was happy and the pizza was good. We left with about one medium in leftovers. We would go again but it was not the best pizza or best place we have been to. Overall it is ok for a local pizza place and bar.

I picked up pizza from Islands Pizza super bowl Saturday. They sent us a bunch of pizza coupons in the mail, I'm they they were anticipating a rush for the Super Bowl. We had one for buy one large pizza get I one free! We placed a to go order for a large pepperoni and mushroom and a BBQ chicken specialty pizza. They were really good! Really satisfying after craving pizza all day! The pickup order was ready in about 25-30 minutes. They gave us a bunch of packs of parmigiana and red pepper flakes to take home. Quick and friendly service! Would definitely order from Islands Pizza again! Live off the island but really close. Completely hit the spot when I was craving some delicious pizza cheesy gooey goodness!

Davis Island has a good little pizza restaurant that is not too busy inside at lunch time. They were doing a good takeout business but inside dining was pretty quiet. We originally were going to just order a few slices and then decided to purchase a whole pie. So glad we did. It was fresh and hot from the oven and the service was good. My only concern was the cleanliness inside and outside usually dictates what the kitchen cleanliness is. I will go with, "What you can't see, won't hurt you".

I get wings from Island Pizza all the time because I love their honey bourbon. Today I ordered 24 wings for pick up and I get there and I pay and then I get home and open the box and there's only 19 wings. I paid $38 for 24 wings and I only got 19. What a rip off, I went to their website and I click contact us and wrote to the owners so hopefully they answer. But if you don't see that, I would like a refund of some sort or like a percentage off my next order to like balance it out because I don't want to not come back because I do like the wings. I have included a picture and no I didn't eat any. I was splitting 24 with someone and that's when I realize we both don't have 12 and 12.

We got the white pizza with Italian sausage and a pepperoni pizza to go. So yummy!!! When I didn't arrive to pick up within the window, the cashier called me to make sure I hadn't forgotten! It's the little things that make an establishment great.

I loved islands pizza up until the owner started to get drunk and treat me as a customer with very utmost disrespect and then would disrespect his employees and even worse would do it in front of customers. Since this new owner it's gone down hill as he doesn't care about his customers or employees. I'm not one to usually leave a review like this but worst Owner of any bar I've ever been to. he accused me of trying to drug kids when my fiancé and I were handing out candy to kids on Halloween as well. I'm bot sorry either, whenever this owner is, is very disrespectful, rude, and should not be the owner. And you can delete my review but this is nothing but facts, the Ownerr OF ISLANDS PIZZA IS DISRESPECTFUL ASF TO CUSTOMERS AND EMPLOYEES and gets way to intoxicated at the bar instead of getting to know his locals. He also tends to fire his best employees for made up reasons as I watched it first hand.

Okay lets be straight up about what this place is. It is a great pizza and pub style food place. Everything I have tried was hot, fresh, large and delicious! Great job. Now let me also say that this place has one of the best and deepest selections of "great bourbon" that I have seen anywhere in Hillsborough county and quite possibly all of Florida. I have eaten at many, many of the high end bars and restaurants in Tampa, Miami and Orlando and none of them come close to this place!

Long story short, they basically stole my money. I've been ordering from Islands for a while now. Last week I placed an order through their website for a delivery. After 2 hours with no update, I called the story repeatedly with no answer. I checked that the order had went through and I had a confirmation email, as well as a credit card transaction for the order. I called again the next day and they informed me they had closed earlier the night before... so I'm not sure why they'd accept my order. I asked about the credit card charge and after consulting with the manager I was told to "just dispute the charge". I immediately reached out to my credit card company who couldn't dispute the charge because it "was not a fraudulent charge" and I had no documentation to support me not receiving the item/service. So I called the restaurant back.... multiple times. I asked for a refund, I've asked to speak to a manager, I've left numerous voicemails over the last week. Not only have I not received a refund, I haven't even gotten a call back to try and resolve the situation and haven't been able to speak to a manager in the 10+ times my call has been answered. So, I spent $40 to have a pizza delivered... and a week later I don't have the pizza or the $40.

Robbed by island pizza --delivery driver tossed the pizza on the front porch didn't even knock-- wrong pizza no sodas -- money down the drain. no receipt and won't pick up the phone. Would not recommend

"Islands Pizza Tavern" on Davis Island, FL, is a "no joke" hidden gem for pizza and bourbon lovers. Their incredible handcrafted pizzas, boast the perfect crust and delicious toppings. Plus, you can get it by the slice!!! They also have one of greatest Bourbon selections in Tampa. (Their selection would be even impressive in Kentucky). So, if you are looking for a barrel pick and a slice, look no further than Islands Pizza Tavern!

My mom and I ordered a pizza tonight, a small pizza with extra cheese and mushroom. A male employee answering the phone and was rude and didn't ask for my mother's name until she asked do you need my name? Then we heard the employee we had on the phone say to someone in the background "I don't get f***ing get paid enough for this". Then he told us they were busy and would be a 45 min wait. We showed up in person about 40 mins later and the male employee could not find our order. He claimed he was on the phone with a "girl" and the call disconnected and he tried to call her back. When we asked how long it would be , he said another 45 mins. He was not apologetic whateversoever. Additionally they were not busy at all from appearances. My mom has been here before and had good service here. However as well I noticed their pizza slices this time as looked like they had been sitting out for hours and were bone dry.

This place is a decent option for late night food and drinks. Glad they are open late since there are very limited options in the area after 10pm on a Sunday. Food overall is average. Got the supreme pizza, chicken parmesan quesadilla and garlic knots. The Supreme Pizza had plentiful meats, average tasting when fresh and hot, and not good at all the next day when I headed it up. I recommend the Chicken parmesan quesadilla, this was better than the pizza and comes with lots of cheese, chicken and marinara sauce, a nice value at only $7 Skip the garlic knots, it's doughy bread and no taste of garlic that I could notice, I threw away the whole thing after eating just half of one knot, why would anyone skimp on the garlic, it's called garlic knots for a reason. If you walk into the restaurant thinking you just mistakenly walked into a bar, don't worry, you're in the right place. There's a long bar area on the left, a pool table on the right. Inside looks absolutely nothing like a pizza restaurant, I actually had to walk back out and double check the sign before coming back in again.

I first tried Islands Pizza at work and it was so good, I had to figure out where they ordered from. My husband and I decided to get a pepperoni pizza and garlic knots for dinner last night. Both were delicious! The pizza was hot, crispy and had great flavor. Knots were perfectly doughy and came with an amazing marinara. We will definitely be back!

Don't order anything but pizza......They'll most definitely screw it up. 3 weeks in a row we've ordered pizza and a burger or salad. 3 weeks in a row they screwed up the burger or salad. Pizza is always good.

First: their hours are wrong on Yelp Second: 8:24pm ordered an 20"pep sausage, s12" sausage, 20" gluten free white, cheese bread and two Greek salads. Delivery time scheduled between 9:24 and 9:44pm 8:44pm received call from grub hub saying they couldn't make a 20" gluten free. Okay, no prob. Make it two 12" GF and I will pay the diff. Check. 9:55pm receive one 12" sausage, one 20" pepp sausage and two Greek salads. No cheese bread and no GF whites. Driver apologizes and says she forgot half the order and goes back to pick up. While she is en route I call the restaurant to say please make sure she comes back with two gf whites and one cheese bread. He says, "sorry, we're already closed." Hm okay, but you still have to fix this... he says okay your order is right here waiting for her to pick up when she gets back. Okay... is I cheese bread and two gf white veggies? "It should be...." She comes back at 10:15p . With cheese bread. AND ANOTHER 20" PEP SAUSAGE. Where's the GF whites!? I call the guy. Again he says sorry we're already closed, no more pizzas. By now I'm hangry and ready to tell him off but the sweet saving grace delivery driver asked if she could speak with him. She explained to him the situation. I showed her my digital receipt and how it differed from her receipt and we figured THEY needed to take it up with grub hub but that we either needed a refund or our pizzas. This dude really really did not want to accommodate. I was positive that our pizzas would have various fluids on them by this point. But now (10:30pm) it was the principle. So he reluctantly agrees and she sweetly returns to get the za's. At 10:55 she returns (hallelujah!!) with two GF pizzas....... Sausage pepp pizzas. Not white veggie pizzas. FFS. This poor lady. I felt so bad. She deserves so much better than the tragically lazy and useless team she has on the other end of the phone line. This was comically bad service on every level. I'm positive these bad reviews are all about the same guy. Hopefully management takes notice.

One of the last times we were there (for some reason, we go here every 4-6 weeks, even though we always have a terrible experience) a patron yelled at my sister for using the restroom. He told her that it was not a gas station - implying, I suppose, that we were not paying customers, but toilet-happy vagabonds. A time before that, a man "working" while clearly combating a vicious hangover took our order then left us completely alone at the "restaurant." As he lowered his body into his vehicle, he told us that someone would come by and take care of us later. This place smells like a urinal cake. The staff is rude. The guests are more rude. The food is awful. The chicken tenders are inedible. I really hope we stop coming to this dump.

Decent NY style pizza, with friendly service. They sell by the slice as well as whole pies which is nice.

Islands Pizza was a family friendly pizza joint with an indoor and outdoor seating options. Order at the counter, and take a seat. There are three "areas" - two are family friendly and one is the next door Islands "Club" which is a bar where you can enjoy your pizza. The service was great - the gentleman at the counter answered all our questions and was accommodating. My husband ordered a half buffalo chicken/ half meat lovers pizza and I had a gluten free with no cheese (allergies) . For gluten free, my pizza was terrific !! Both pizzas were what we would consider "thin crust". My husband gave his pizza 4 stars, and judging by the smell and look of it it was excellent! Prices are reasonable. Keep in mind parking is limited - we found street parking easily on a Friday night, though.

Gone downhill. Quite possibly the worst pizza I've ever had. No taste. A lot of grease. Seems to evaporate the longer it sits. No garlic flavor. Cheese bad. Cmon people. Step up the game. We need even a mediocre pizza over here. Would be better than this.

Very disappointed and disgusted, I ordered 2 large Caesar salad's and one of them had a dead fly in it. I threw both away and will never be coming back, I guess they don't wash their salad. Very disappointed

Pretty good pizza! The pizza was well done (which i like) but it was pretty greasy. It was delivered hot and the delivery driver was very nice. The only thing I wasn't very impressed with was the employee on the phone when I placed the order. He was very nice until I told him I had a coupon, then he sounded extremely annoyed.

A couple years ago, my boyfriend and I lived on Davis Island and we would look forward to walking down Davis Boulevard a couple times a week just to go grab a beer or even take a pizza to go. However, within the last year or so, the food quality has continually declined. My boyfriend will typically order a calzone, and this most recent order, it barely had any cheese or pepperoni at all inside. It was mostly bread. I've been ordering salads, and with the exception of this last time, they have been pretty good. Last night I ordered a Cobb salad with only Romain lettuce, chicken, tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado. What I got was literally a piece of lettuce underneath a bunch of other things, less the avocado. Even the two containers of ranch dressing or under all of the toppings. When you order a salad, you kind of assume that the lettuce will lease be chopped up- And it won't look like everything was just thrown in a container.Not in this case, you can see in the photo that it is literally just a piece of lettuce. I can't see us ordering from here again, and that is really really sad. We try to support small businesses but it looks like we will have to remove Davis Island pizza from our list.

I've been coming here almost every Wednesday night for their flip night for the past month. This place is divided into half. One side is a pizza restaurant, and the other half is a bar. Every Wednesday night is their flip night, so every time you order a drink, your bartender will flip a coin, if you guess it right (heads or tails), you get the drink for free. If you guess it wrong, you gotta pay the full price for the drink. I've only came here on Wednesday nights, every time I was there, the place is semi packed (I usually go after 10 pm). They also have a pretty good music selection, they play all genres of music. I think the pizza restaurant part closes at 10 pm, but after that, you can still order a $5 personal pizza at the bar. Can't wait to go back next Wednesday!

I couldn't wait to wake up this morning just to write this review. What a disaster my experience with this restaurant was. Besides the fact that after ordering from ubereats our order was not only cold and wrong, but half of my $55 order was missing. I expect to have a full, hot order after spending that kind of money. After calling the restaurant and explained my order was missing, they responded with: there's just "nothing they could do for me." I also called the owner, Dave, and what a poor representation for a business owner. Please think twice about this restaurant. Not only was the food trash, but the customer service was extremely disappointing. Take a look at the photos. Soggy, cold, and sad.

My wife wanted wings, so we decided to try this place one more time. Well they messed it up again. I ordered the BBQ Chicken Pizza like we have every time with the wings. Here is the description from their menu "Barbecue sauce base, grilled chicken" Well there was absolutely no sauce, zero, zilch, nada, the pizza was bland and hard because no sauce. So out of 6 times visiting, they have made our order incorrectly 4 times, so that's 1 star removed for each time. I knew I shouldn't have gone there again and I went against my own better judgement. This place is useless, I can't believe they have stayed in business. If I messed up at this rate and so consistently with my line of work then I wouldn't have a job. I could go back to ask for a remake, but why bother, they will probably screw that up too. Seriously people.

My husband and I found this place via Groupon ($10 for $20) and it was our first outing to Davis Islands. This pizza joint is in a very quaint part of town. Its next to a couple of other restaurants and bars. It also has its own outdoors dining area and had plenty of TVs to watch football or whatever sport you desire. The wait staff was really nice and had some helpful suggestions in terms of appetizers ... we were torn between the sweet potato tater-tots and the pretzels with beer/cheese dipping sauce. We ended up going for the tater-tots which were delicious and plentiful. We also ordered Sam Adams Boston Lager which was a special on Saturdays for $3 (not a bad deal). Anyway, we ended up going for the Supreme Pizza, which had pepperoni, sausage, bacon, bell peppers, red onion, and mushrooms (we also had them add fresh basil). The pizza too about 20 min for it to come out, which I thought was reasonable, since they made it fresh. The pizza itself was very cheesy and flavorful, the basil gave it a little depth so I highly recommend adding it. The crust was delicious and crispy throughout... no soggyness found in the center. The pizza slices were pretty large and we were only able to eat half of the pizza pie, so we had plenty of left overs. Overall, this place provided a great dining experience. The pizza choices were straight forward and you could tell the ingredients were quality. The staff was friendly and were told that they provided delivery within the island. I just wish they delivered outside the island as I would definitely want to order from them.

Oh, yum! I'm so tired of the same-old, same-old delivery places around my office (right across from U of T - and why are t there more choices?! There are students over here!), so decided to give Islands Pizza a try for lunch. So good!! Delicious and fresh, the Greek dressing and marinara must be house-made, I got a pepperoni calzone with mushrooms and tomatoes, and a large house salad ($15 minimum but I have a big lunch for two days!) as promised, within an hour of ordering. I'll be ordering from y'all again, prolly along with some coworkers who are very jealous right now!

I was in the neighborhood, so stopped by to test Islands Pizza out. From the staff to the atmosphere to the prices, no complaints about Islands Pizza. Meat Lovers Pizza is a solid winner in my book, such a magnificent taste. The workers are really attentive and friendly. They're good at giving recommendations. Islands Pizza is definitely a special place.

Walked in to the Islands Pizza Tavern for someone's birthday. As soon as we sat down at the bar, both barista's were very rude and passive aggressive towards all of us. Unless you're one of the 6 daily's they have there I wouldn't recommend going. I'm sure the pizza side is fine but I would not recommend the tavern.

Pizza was delivered earlier than estimated. It was a bit greasy for my taste and some of the toppings on our supreme pizza were scarce/poorly distributed. Overall the pizza was delicious, good consistency and a tasty crust, definitely not too crispy but certainly not doughy. After 4 pieces I'm still craving another. The pizza could have been a little hotter upon arrival. It was an enjoyable temperature but not hot out of the oven. I ended up eating the 5th piece despite the temperature and poor distribution of toppings because the flava was just that good. My girlfriend loved it too and she has impeccable taste, obviously. Solid 3.5 out of 5, but definitely not a 4, so I'm not rounding up.

Decided to head to Island Pizza. I order a Chicken Parmesan Sandwich. The chicken was burnt and a meager amount of sauce. The sandwich has no flavor what so ever. I had issues in the past, so it has been a year since I decided to give them a try again. The cashier was extremely nice and helpful. I am very disappointed.

This is cafeteria pizza at best. Pass. Garlic knots lacked joie de vive, pizza was greasy, cheese low-quality. I was the only customer being served and my order was wrong so had to wait another 30 min for it to be corrected. Was not worth the wait.

I have visited this restaurant only once -- on May 11. Perhaps it was a tough day for the restaurant. Here's how it went: Restaurant was extremely warm. Clerk told me it was 88 degrees inside restaurant and has been this warm for weeks. Trouble with A/C. We decided to eat outside as the restaurant had two or three tables in front of their store. I ordered two slices and an appetizer/small salad. My friend ordered a chicken sandwich and tots. First came my slices. Then my salad. Then my friend's sandwich, despite us ordering in the same ticket. I politely waited for my friend's food to arrive -- to the detriment of my meal. Food was not bad, but no better than average. I was impressed that the restaurant offered tater tots. That is a nice addition to the menu. I have no complaints with the food but it wasn't noteworthy either. Big complaint was how the food came out (again, despite we ordered our meals on the same check). Parking was on Street and we had to wait a few minutes for other patrons of nearby stores to leave for us to find a parking space. Not a big problem, but definitely something to consider at peak times. I likely will not return. There are other opportunities to try elsewhere but if I had no other choices available, I wouldn't mind returning.

Anyone who recalls the Islands Club of old will find that the name's the same but the experience is not quite the way it was. Still this is a stop-worthy bar for someone seeking a place that is laid back, features a jukebox, offers a menu with a good selection of sandwiches, pizza, salads and pastas and has a personable bartender. Withholding a fourth star because I did not try the food on my visit but will happy add any additional stars that are deserved when the time is right. The Davis Islands scene always seems to be more neighborly than anywhere else I have found in Tampa. It just has that feeling that anyone can jump in, join in and just feel at home wherever they may go. One really nice aspect is that the parking options are plentiful and there are lots of places within easy walking distance if you feel like you want a change of scenery at any time. I also like the fact the Islands Club has a full bar, a menu that goes well beyond bar nibbles and seems to be the sort of place that could easily become a favorite watering hole.

I saw this place for the first time when I was trying the Chinese takeout place just a few doors down. I was curious to try it and was craving pizza so off to Islands Pizza I went. I called the pizza in while I was on my way there. I was told that it would be 30 minutes until the pizza was ready. I arrived before then and waited patiently in my car. I was happy to see that the pizza was ready when I walked in. I was not greeted by anyone and waited for the cashier to come over. She seemed a bit clueless but maybe it was her first day? Anyway, I grabbed my pizza and headed over to a nearby park. I was disappointed that it was SO greasy and very bland. I actually had to do the napkin soaking the oil/grease thing. I was not happy. I unfortunately was not impressed with the customer service and the taste of the pizza so I will not be back. I ordered the Margherita pizza.

Terrible customer service. Waited over an hour for a small pizza. Would never go back or recommend.

Ordered a chicken buffalo pizza and got three-ish pieces of chicken. Highly don't recommend. Any major company is better.

I ordered through Yelp & when I called about my order not coming with a topping I requested. Brannon did not know how to refund me. According to him, "It's only a dollar." Yeah, well, that is not the point. It's also not well done as requested. Check your order before accepting. I tipped 20% (prepaid) on the app. Know better for next time!

Can I just say this place is amazing! Exactly what every town needs. Very laid back but great service and excellent menu! They have another side of the restaurant that is called Island Club with Saturday/ Sunday brunch - I had a bacon Bloody Mary and it was spicy and delicious!

My order was completely wrong and when I called to get the order corrected I was told they couldn't deliver the corrected items. When I asked for a refund for the wrong items I was hung up on. I tried calling back 3 times and a lady answered the phone and hung up on me 3 times before I could say anything. Also The food that was as actually correct was cold. Worse experience I've ever had with a restaurant.
