They make NY style pizza in a wood fired oven. Anyone who appreciates good pizza knows pizza cooked in a wood or coal fired oven just hits differently. They do have some slice offerings, and you can also get the whole pie. I’ve been here a couple of times now. So far, every slice I’ve tried was great. Fairly priced, decent sized, and they don’t cheat you on the toppings. They reheat them in the wood fired oven, so they come out piping hot with that extra crispness that comes from that second bake, a trademark of good pizza sold by the slice. I especially enjoyed the slice of white pie. They also offer a 7″ two topping for $7.50, which is perfectly sized for one person. They do offer sandwiches and wings as well, with pasta only offered on Fridays (the only real negative I have for this place). The dining is pretty cozy, with only a few tables, so you have to time when you go otherwise it’s a full house with your order having to be to go. No soda fountain but they do have drinks in an upright cooler. Soda by the can, tea in a bottle, few other offerings, and cans of assorted San Pellegrino (good stuff). They twice bake their chicken wings in the same oven as the pizzas, and I do encourage you to try them blackened. The blackened seasoning is a dry hub with lots of great flavor, and the wings are as crispy as being fried and just as tender. When they pull them from the oven, a wonderful aroma fills the whole place (which is what prompted me to give them a try).The staff is always very friendly and courteous. A great experience overall if you find yourself near them and need to get a meal or snack. One of these days I’ll remember get some pictures before I eat (it all just comes out looking and smelling so wonderful you easily forget about your phone). Went back and took some pictures.

By far the best chicken wings I have ever had. Big juicy tasty wings. Calzones are phenomenal. Worth every penny. The wall of wings.

On vacation with hub, camping at the Rock Crusher RV park in Crystal River Fl, we heard from several campers about wood fired pizza and restaurant iInverness, short drive from our campground. Been Pizza junkies all our lives and just had to take a drive and check things out! Nice drive out in rural Inverness about 20min but was it worth every mile we drove!! I would use your GPS or you might drive right pass it like we did! Located next to a gas station, party store but they have their own entrance. Small place with 2 tables outside and 4 tables on one side of the restaurant with bathrooms offered. The other side of restaurant is the kitchen and the wood fired stove. You have a cool view of the pizza making and the process of cooking it! You enter and place your order at the window and if lucky grab a table and they bring out your food to you. They have a refrigerator with soda, ice tea, bottled water, juice, no alcoholic beverages. You can go next door and purchase beer, wine, etc or bring your own cooler with drinks, too cool! They only take CASH!! When done eating, put your leftovers in a box and take it home for breakfast! Pizza for breakfast, yes please!! Everyone is so darn friendly and nice, very casual and they play 70’s, 80’s music over the speaker. Make sure you start a punch card, when filled up you get any pizza of your choice!! FREE! Also you can purchase single big fold over pieces of their great New York style pizza! No delivery!! Friday they have pasta specials and sell out early. Great salads, wings, huge homemade sandwiches also! On Thursday they have double stamp on your card day for the future free pizza!! Check out this hidden gem with a cult following, if you are fussy about the crust being browned, do not come here!! That’s what Wood fired pizza is, cooked in a wood burning receptacle and people love the smoky flavor and crust/ you have been warned!!! You must give this place a try, you will turn into a Pizza Joint junkie like my hub and I! Debbie and Bob, Mich, Go Blue!

This is the most phenomenal pizza in the world, including Italy. I never thought I would find a pizza I love more Pietana in Lexington Kentucky, but this is it! I don’t know if that’s a yeasty crust or what, but I don’t think I could ever get enough of that. If I only had one food that I was allowed to eat for the rest of my life, it would be their Buffalo chicken pizza. Super nice staff. Quick and attentive. When you pull up, it looks like a shady little hole in the wall next to a shady little gas station, but go in anyway! It’s also a little out of the way, but totally worth it! I wish these owners would open other locations. I would be 400 lb if it was closer to me.

We were visiting rainbow river and met up with friends that lived in the area. We floated the river then came to this classic hole in the wall joint. It’s a little rough looking inside but they make a damn good pizza. Their pizzas has a lot of topping and the cooking in their wood burning dome of an oven makes it delicious. Their chicken wings are fabulous also. Salad was huge and fresh according to our friend. Glad our friends knew of this place. I highly recommend this place. I’ll be back in the area in October and I can guarantee you I will be returning to this place. Great service too.

The Pizza Joint Wood Fire Pies makes absolutely outstanding pizza! We ordered 2 large pies (one new school margherita & one veggie) and they were excellent! Additionally, its worth mentioning how pleasant and friendly the staff were, and they were the cherry on top of the entire experience. 10/10 would recommend as the best pie in citrus county!

Excellent experience and delicious food. Some of the best pizza in Citrus County! Wings are marinated and super tender ! The pizza is cooked on a wood fire oven and turned out perfect. They don’t skimp on the topping either! Will definitely be back!

$24 for a “Large” margarita pizza was more like a small. Dough was thin but not crispy and sauce lacked a lot of flavor. Like no flavor. Not much mozz at all, and like one basil leaf on each slice. Would have rather gotten papa johns
