We stopped by Merlin’s on our family vacation and it was delicious! The garlic butter cheese bread was the best I’ve ever had. Dough had excellent flavor. We also ordered the Meaty Feast Deluxe and Seafood pizza both of which were equally as good. The pizza dough was soft and had great chew. It is small; seats around 50 people. But so worth the visit!

I was a little skeptical about trying this place but I’m glad we did. I love the different pizza options that were available and the prices were reasonable. We had the seafood pizza and the Tuscan pizza. The Tuscan pizza was very flavorful. The seafood pizza could have used a little more seasoning, that’s the reason I have 4 stars instead of 5, but it was still good.

We got a bloomin meatball, the combo Supreme, 7 cheese white pizza, and the honey butter chicken. All was amazing!! Our server Ethan was very kind and did a fantastic job of taking care of us!! We have already said when we come back to the area to vacation that we would for sure come back here!! Loved it!!

The pizza is actually very good. The atmosphere is a little tight/crowdy and limited seating, but the barbecue chicken pizza and the veggie pizza (for the vegetarians) is very filling and flavorful. Waiter was cool, you could tell they are busy a lot. The salad was OK. But overall I’ll give them a 8.7/10 for the overall experience and food.

The pizza is Excellent here! It is a smaller place and seating can fill up quickly. They had 1 server efficiently working the floor.

Was staying at the condos across the way for vacation and stopped in to grab a pie one night. Service was excellent on my to go order, and took his recommendation on trying the Hawaiian Luau. Pizza was ready quickly and very tasty, never had the pleasure of whole slices of bacon on a pie (everyone else is doing it wrong lol). Good thing I don’t live nearby, I’d probably become a land whale. Place is small & busy, but it looked like they ran a really smooth operation.

We loved everything about our experience! A small shop with great music in the background. Our server, Jayce, was awesome — fast and friendly service even though she was obviously busy, we didn’t have to ask for a thing! The pizza was AMAZING, we got the 6-cheese bread and the bloomin’ meatball and 4 different pizzas. The small/10inch is plenty of pizza if you want variety.

Our server Ethan was fantastic!! Me and my bf stopped in with his cousin on our vacation trip and we had the smokey BBQ pulled pork and the southern heat and both were so good!! Ethan gave us excellent local recommendations for some neat beaches over by Crab Island! Thank you so much Merlin’s for the best pizza I’ve had in ages and again thank you Ethan for your awesome customer service!
