What's the best pizza in Valrico?

The short answer: Valrico has solid pizza options, but your pick depends on what style you're craving. New York-style, Neapolitan, deep dish, and chain — it's all here within a 10-minute drive.

Here are the spots Valrico residents keep coming back to.

1. Eddie & Sam's NY Pizza — The Local Favorite

If you ask in any Valrico Facebook group, this name comes up first. Eddie & Sam's serves legit New York-style slices — thin crust, foldable, and properly greasy in the best way. Located on Lithia Pinecrest Road, it's a no-frills shop that lets the pizza speak for itself.

Best for: Classic New York-style slices, lunch specials Location: Lithia Pinecrest Rd, near Bloomingdale

2. Gino's Italian Restaurant

Gino's has been a Valrico staple for years. It's a sit-down Italian restaurant with a full menu, but the pizza is what keeps families coming back. Their white pizza and meat lover's are standouts.

Best for: Family dinner, full Italian menu with pizza Location: SR-60, Valrico

3. Westshore Pizza — Bloomingdale

The Bloomingdale location of Westshore Pizza is convenient and consistent. Their Philly cheesesteak pizza is a local guilty pleasure. Good lunch deals and they deliver.

Best for: Delivery, specialty pizzas, lunch combos Location: Bloomingdale Ave

4. Jets Pizza

Jets brought Detroit-style deep dish to Valrico and people love it. The 8-corner pizza with the caramelized cheese edge is addictive. Not thin crust — this is thick, square, and crispy on the bottom.

Best for: Detroit-style deep dish, something different from NY-style Location: SR-60

5. Mazzaro's (Worth the Drive to St. Pete)

Okay, this one's technically in St. Pete — about 35 minutes from Valrico. But if you're a serious pizza person, Mazzaro's Italian Market is a Tampa Bay bucket list item. Wood-fired, Neapolitan-style, and absolutely worth the drive.

Best for: Special occasion, best-in-Tampa-Bay pizza Location: St. Petersburg (22nd Ave N)
