“ Switch your Duolingo app to Italian at once. You’re going to want to brush up on the romance language. We were able to order delicious authentic Italian food nonetheless even though I did say Bongiorno like Brad Pitt from Inglourious Basterds. ”
“ Best pizza in Punta Gorda! What a cool great special place! Family owned and operated and it shows the volume!!! ”
“ We finally decided to go to Pizza Gorda in Punta Gorda. What a pleasant experience, we were seated outside at a table to accommodate us seeing we brought our puppy, they offered water for her (very nice) We ordered 3 pizzas, Pizza Romana, Cheese pizza and the pepperoni pizza (although I wished the had salami) we didn’t order wine but they had a great selection of Italian wine. Just don’t be in a hurry to get your order and leave because perfection takes time and I can tell you the pizzas were perfect. You could taste the fresh ingredients, the crust from their wood oven was just amazing (I’m not a crust person) the server was attentive but not overbearing which we appreciated. The owner is from Italy and had a short chat, very friendly as well, reminding me of people in Italy. I can only recommend Pizza Gorda to anyone looking for an authentic pizza. ”
“ This is the pizza spot to go to in SW Florida!! Great authentic Italian pizza. The garlic knots were amazing. A cold draft of Peronis to wash all down. 10/10 would recommend! ”
“ I visited this restaurant yesterday for the first time and was so incredibly impressed! The Service was Fabulous as was the food I had pizza and it truly is one of the best I’ve had. I want to mention we were a group of 15 and they were so nice to us. They got our orders to us in a timely manner and were very efficient with all the separate checks. Shelley was our server and she did a great job as did the other girls who helped Can’t wait to return! ”
“ Pizza Gorda serves up some of the best Neapolitan-style pizza you’ll find in Southwest Florida. Their 13-inch wood-fired pies are perfect for two to share... or just for yourself if you’re hungry. They’ve also got a great selection of Italian wines that pair really well with the food. If you’re going during peak hours, definitely make a reservation... this place gets busy. Bonus tip: don’t skip the Caesar salad. Seriously, it might be the best one you’ll ever have. If you’re after an authentic Italian pizza experience, Pizza Gorda is absolutely worth a visit. ”
“ Excellent in all ways - we enjoyed the food a lot. Went here for lunch and everything was delicious. They gave some complimentary bread with some spicy olive oil (yum). We ordered the bruschetta (the only complaint was that the tomatoes were a bit mushy, but otherwise very good), pizza ortolana (this was my favorite) and the manicotti (we all loved it). Yummy yummy food, highly recommended ”
