FRIENDLY'S BROOKLYN STYLE PIZZA
The crowd and the inspector disagree about FRIENDLY'S BROOKLYN STYLE PIZZA, and it isn't close: 1,681 reviewers settle on 4.5 stars, while its latest health inspection lands at an F, 54/100.
That F comes from 2 high-priority, 5 intermediate, and 15 basic violations cited on May 4, 2026. It currently ranks near the bottom of Osceola County on health score.

The crowd and the kitchen disagree here, and the gap is wide. Reviewers who mention how guests are treated rate this place 4.8 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour.
The split is 18 positive to 1 negative across 21 rated reviews, with 2 in the middle. 5 stars is the modal score, given by 18 of the 21 reviewers who rated.
None of that is visible in a star rating: the most recent DBPR inspection graded this kitchen an F (54/100), citing 2 high-priority, 5 intermediate, and 15 basic violations. Diner sentiment and inspection result are measuring different things here, and only one of them is checked by the state. That inspection was on May 4, 2026. The trend across inspections is decline. On health score it sits safer than 1% of the Osceola County restaurants we grade. Among the items recorded were cross-contamination and in-use food dispensing utensils properly stored.

Have to start with this is the 2nd time I had delivery. I was originally introduced with this shop by my neighbor, he gave me a left over slice and it was delicious. I ordered delivery 1st time spoke with owner and he turned me on to the fettuccine pizza and other items approx. $80 Worth of food and it was all delicious hot fresh, ECT now today I call for delivery and they were busy. I didn't get her name but the woman who actually called me back as they didn't answer at first (super busy like I said), she not only has a great phone voice was very polite, professional and efficient at taking my order. Now the bad news, all of it the fettuccine pizza, ehh bland, burnt crust just was not anything like the 1st time. My steak n cheese calzone was edible (I did eat 2 pieces) but had to use my own marinara sauce because they only put one small plastic dipping cup worth included with it. I went for a combo with the calzone and no drink delivered with it, no big deal, however I did pay for it. The fries that came with it were just gross, tasted like oil. I even put them in my air fryer to crisp them up and they looked good, but still just didn't taste right, we'll leave it at that. It's a pizza place at least serve the pies like I got my 1st delivery. Lastly the chocolate cake, while that was pretty tasty it seemed like they took a chocolate slice of cake and split that in half. I'm going off memory but the 1st time I ordered chocolate cake and carrot cake and never got to try the…

The gyros here are amazing! The pizza is great too! It's the closest to NY pizza I've tried out here from any local restaurant.

As someone who’s very particular about pizza — especially coming from NYC — I have to say this place truly impressed me. The pizza was absolutely delicious and definitely one of the best I’ve had in the area. We ordered a Hawaiian pizza while the kids had pepperoni, and every slice was fresh, flavorful, and made with that authentic homemade touch. What stood out even more than the food was the hospitality. Although it’s a small spot, the owner personally came out to greet us when we arrived. When he realized it was our first time and that we were taking the pizza to go, he kindly suggested we stay and enjoy it fresh out of the oven. That level of care and attention instantly reminded me of the classic family-owned pizza shops back in Brooklyn. The service was exceptional from beginning to end. The staff brought us cups with ice for our drinks, extra parmesan, and all the seasonings without us even asking. Small details like that make a big difference and create such a welcoming experience. You can truly feel the passion, pride, and love that goes into both the food and the service here. Huge kudos to the owner and his amazing staff for creating such a warm and memorable experience. I highly recommend supporting this family-owned business — places like this deserve our support far more than the big pizza chains. Sorry it was so good just could only take pictures of the few that were left 😁😋 great place to order for movie night or if you just in the mood for good pizza stop by…

Love love LOVE this place. Prices are great and food is fantastic. Such a great hidden gem. My favorite is the 7$ slice deal. It's simple done right. Even better people who run the place. Definitely recommend!

Best pizza in the area! The crust is delicious and the toppings are always so yummy. The owner is so generous, and the staff are always nice and helpful. Thank you so much for catering for our school during Teacher Appreciation Week — the teachers truly loved it and appreciated your support!

I usually come here for the 7$ slice deal and it never disappoints. The price is right, flavors are stellar, and customer service is amazing. Definitely recommend to come again and again!!
-
Honestly this place is realy good 👍 pizza was hot, fresh and super tasty. The crust got that nice crisp but still soft inside, just how it should be. Cheese was melty and strechy, not dry like other spots. Service was fast and people there was nice too. Prices are fair for the quality you get. I came one time and already wana come back again 😅 Definitly recomend if you like brooklyn style pizza 🍕 5 stars for sure

Always good Halal food.

I got a pepperoni pizza. It was one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. I’ve never came to this location before, but I’m glad I did. The pepperoni tastes great (I usually eat that part of the pizza first) and so was the rest of the pizza. Thanks! Don’t usually spend money on pizza, but I decided to! Great job.
-
Great place to order pizza and other items from. I ordered a pizza and some wings today. I have not had any issues during my visits. Friendly place like the name states. I would recommend you give them a try. Also they are halal when it comes to the meat. No swine
