While exploring the downtown streets of Orlando with my colleagues, we found ourselves debating where to eat when a kind couple nearby suggested we check out Nuri's, just a block away. What an incredible recommendation!
We headed to the bar, and my buddy and I decided to order two different pizzas to share. He got a white sauce sausage and pepper pizza, which was flavorful and extra spicy, but the real star was my pepperoni and jalapeño pizza. It was AMAZING--hands down the best pizza I've had in my 50+ years of life! The perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavors, topped with a drizzle of ranch, all on a thin, crispy crust (which I learned is a Chicago-style crust). It was so good that I came back again just to order the same pizza!
The atmosphere is just as impressive as the food. While we ate, a lively trivia contest was going on, and the décor was fun and nostalgic--complete with a vintage pay phone, a phone booth, and a bowling shelf filled with bowling shoes.
The staff makes the experience even better. Dex, the bartender on our first visit, was absolutely the coolest, and on my return trip, a talented young bartender crafted a unique, on-the-spot mocktail for me that was fantastic.
If you're anywhere near Orlando, you HAVE to visit Nuri's. Incredible pizza, amazing drinks, great vibe, and top-notch service--this place is a gem!
