I’ve been hitting up some of the best pizza in Orlando consistently for years now, and not just once for the sake of trying them. Over time, every visit has held up, which is exactly why these five pizza restaurants are really setting the tone for everything that will follow Orlando on this tour.
The first ever Respect My Region pizza tour is officially underway and for the first stop we’re kicking things off in Orlando. This city usually doesn’t get mentioned first in pizza conversations, but once you spend real time here, you start to realize it probably should be.
As a pizza enthusiast, you’re always chasing that one perfect pie, so to get things started the right way, we’re counting down our picks for the best pizza spots in Orlando to see which restaurant really stands out.
5. Broadway Ristorante & Pizzeria
Broadway Ristorante & Pizzeria will always hold a special place in my heart. This is one of the spots I came out to constantly, so starting here just feels right. Before anything else, all you really need is that classic slice that reminds you why pizza became what it is in the first place.
Broadway Ristorante & Pizzeria keeps it simple in a way that works. Simple really is better out here. This is the kind of spot where you’re not overthinking the order, you know what you want and you know it’s going to hit. The slices come out thin and foldable, a little greasy in the right way, with a crust that’s light but still holds everything together.
Broadway definitely leans more traditional, but doesn’t try to be anything else. Sometimes you just want something familiar that you know is going to hit, and that’s exactly what Broadway does best.
4. Black Magic Pizza
This is where you start to feel the shift.
Black Magic Pizza doesn’t really follow the traditional playbook, and that’s what makes it stand out. The menu leans more creative, but not in a way that feels forced or overdone. The pies come out a little heavier, loaded with toppings you might not expect. This place feels like they know what they’re doing and aren’t afraid to push it.
Some of the combinations might not be for everyone, but everything works here. The flavors always come together rather than compete. Nothing about Black Magic feels out of place. It’s not trying to be classic, it’s trying to hit, and every single time it does.
3. SoDough Square
Detroit style pizza has been getting more attention lately, but not every spot really dials it in the way it should, and SoDough Square is one of the spots that absolutely crushes it every time.
SoDough isn’t your typical slice, it’s a true Detroit style deep dish, baked in that square pan where the dough rises up thick but still holds structure, giving you something that feels filling without feeling heavy. It’s not greasy the way people expect deep dish to be. Everything feels balanced, from the dough to the sauce to the cheese. The edges come out crispy, almost caramelized with that cheese crust, while the inside stays soft and airy.
The contrast alone is enough to keep people coming back. The cheese stretches heavy but still feels clean, and the sauce doesn’t overpower anything, it just sits right on top where it should.
2. Pizza Bruno
Pizza Bruno is one of those places that keeps coming up for a reason, and once you sit down, it clicks almost immediately.
This is where you get that Neapolitan style wood fired pizza made with precision. This is where the dough actually matters just as much as anything on top of it. The crust comes out soft in the middle with just enough char underneath. The cheese melts down super creamy without it feeling too heavy.
Everything feels balanced here. Nothing fights for attention, and that’s harder to pull off than it sounds. Pizza Bruno is one of those spots you can always count on, and every time you go back, it reminds you why.
1. Pigzza
At the top of our list, Pigzza takes the number one spot. Out of all the pizza spots in Orlando, this one deserves the top slot recognition.
From the first bite, it just feels different. The crust has that slight sourdough tang, crispy on the outside but soft inside, and it gives the whole pie a little more depth than you expect going in. It’s not overwhelming at all. Pigzza adds another layer that keeps you noticing as you eat more. Once you get into the toppings, this is where they mix classic ideas with more creative ones. Nothing feels like it’s trying too hard, it always comes together naturally.
If you’ve got a special occasion, this is the spot to dine in. It’s one of the fancier pizza spots in the Orlando area, and you can feel that the moment you walk in. If this tour is about setting a standard, this is the place that sets it.
