  • June 28, 2026

    I tried Nexus Pizza after eating many other pizza places in the Orlando area. Nexus pizza was an amazing experience with their pizza being on par with the big names of New york and significsntly better than the other Orlando places. The service was phenomenal with the staff being extremely courteous and kind.

    Amazing experience and service. Have tried black magic pizza, Ziggys Soto Square, John and John’s Del Dios and the rest. This is the best pizza in Orlando and Fl by far. Coming from someone who lives in New York.

    The best PIZZA ever in all FLORIDA!!

  • June 22, 2026

    Everyone was very nice and the food was fantastic. Was getting my car worked on near by so I treated myself to an absolute feast. Ate a whole pizza and Stromboli and didn’t even bloated or heavy at all. Loved the atmosphere as well! Will return.

    When I'm on that side of town I go and have a meal here

  • June 17, 2026

    Ate there twice so far, got a pepperoni first time and chicken parmesan the next time. Both times I had the garlic knots. The pizzas are good much better than any pizzas around that area both mom & pop or nationwide corporation brands. The service is always nice and friendly and the atmosphere feels like a a standard pizza shop in Brooklyn or Queens maybe a couple tables bigger. also fantastic to see a place do a proper chicken parm pizza rather than regular chicken topping. It's also nice to see that JY style big steel triple door pizza oven. My only gripe is both times the garlic knots were burnt. That sucked, and I don't mean a little char, I love a little char, I meant bang on the table hard burnt. That was my only disappointment. I do wish the crust was a little crispier, the edge crust can get chewy if not eaten right away.

  • June 13, 2026

    Fantastic New York–style pizza right here in Florida. Nexus Pizza has the perfect combination of great food, a convenient location, and excellent service. The pizza tastes very authentic, with a great crust, flavorful sauce, and the right balance of cheese and toppings. It really has that classic New York pizza feel, which is not always easy to find in Florida. The staff was awewome, the service was smooth, and the overall experience was very enjoyable. Highly recommend Nexus Pizza to anyone looking for real, delicious New York–style pizza.
