Tom's Pizza World Restaurant



Does the world, Florida, Broward County, Fort Lauderdale need another pizza restaurant? Only time will tell.

Tom's Pizza World has one main thing against them and that is location! Location! Location! It is in a shopping strip that has already had 8-10 restaurants open and close from full sit down service to fast food to fast 'casual'. Businesses come and go in this center because it is easy to miss and hard to get into and out of and the bottom line is they will have to depend on delivery orders.

Okay, let's talk food. Allen likes a thin crust pizza and I like a thick crust. We ordered a small, 12", 8 slices Pepperoni pizza with a thin crust to share($10.48). Allen was happy and I ate my 4 slices without a problem. Having worked in 5 Italian restaurants, 3 as a pizza maker, this wasn't the best nor the worst but satisfactory.

Allen likes Wraps and I like Paninis. We each ordered the Turkey Delight Panini ($6.95) when actually we should have split one. It was very good and we each took a half home.
He had a bottle of diet Coke ($1.85) and I had bottled water ($1.85)

We had a $5 coupon so with tax our check came to $24.26 (plus 'I Hate" that tip' Jar!)

The prices were good as was the food and John the cashier/waiter did what he could but the bottom line, to me, it isn't worth going up Federal, making a U-turn and coming back into one of the busiest crossroads (Sunrise Boulevard and Federal) when Big Louie's and Il Mulino's is a lot easier to get to while the food (in my opinion) is as good if not better than at Tom's Pizza World plus both are a full service restaurant.

I wish them luck in that location.
