Was door dashing and came to this place. I
Ordered a slice while I waited.
That supreme pizza slice is thin and well done. Crunchy and large slices. For $6 it was perfect. I heard draft and bottle beers start at $6 also.
The liquor bar is also well stocked.
The tv rotated a list of everyday specials:
Monday $5 burgers,
Tuesday 10$ med cheese
Wed 75 cent wings
Thur 10$ cheese calzones
$3 corona bottles on happy hour. Etc etc.
Highly recommend for a laid back vibe and well done eats.
Cute low key vibe but it was 1 pm on a Tuesday so 😉

This local tavern is clearly a treasure to the community located on Davis island in Tampa, Florida. A friend and I after work hungry and curious, decided to stop by and try it out while driving by. The patrons were having a blast, cheering and chatting, heavily watching their sports on the TVs. Lots of comraderie! We were met by our bartender Caitlin who is new to Tampa and she was genuine, kind , and very experienced. She is happy to see customers happy. Islands Pizza Tavern was spacious, exciting and for the best part for me: the food. I know flavors well and I will say that the grouper bites here are hands down: the best I’ve EVER had! It had a light crispness and boldly pleasant seasoning with side of tartar sauce. It was so good, I had to let the chef know. I’m still salivating over it, lol. Our main meal was chosen by my friend Ana: Hot Honey soppressatta Pizza as shown by the picture. It was delectable, crust was light and crispy, herbs were fresh, cheese was pliable and fun. Took leftovers home and my sons were raving ! Overall , I can see why this tavern is so successful especially since it’s like walking distance for customers on the island. It’s nice to see people smile and have fun. Maybe it should be the new place for another “Cheers”, lol

This is a true gem. The pizza, food, specials whiskey selection and service is exceptional. The setting in Davis Islands Village is easily accessible and a great vibe. Karen served me this evening and provided exceptional service. She made me a great Negroni followed by good draft beer and accompanied by excellent conversation. She’s one of the best bartenders in town for sure. . I highly recommend you visit.

Normally one of the best places to stop for slices. Slices were smaller than usual and dried out.. during bucs game!? Too busy in the kitchen maybe? Please work on it. Never slack on the . Chef should approve of everything leaving the kitchen.. we are all serious about pizza, like Tony Bourdain is to Fraugua.. you normally do it right.. Will update this next time i stop. Up or down

Where to start??? Their thin crust pizza is so yummy…my fav being the white pizza! Just enough garlic not to be offensive. That said, everything I’ve had has been fantastic and prices are so reasonable! Love going on Mondays for their $5 burger special. And only an extra $2 for fries that day! Can’t. Beat. It. Then there’s the service!!! We prefer to eat at the beautiful and newly remodeled bar. That’s where we love chatting with Gabby…although all the staff there are so personable and attentive. Definitely, Go Here. Tell them Lorie sent you.

Ordered for delivery later that day. They did not follow the note and tried to deliver it to the wrong place and it took them 30 minutes before they read the note and called us delivering cold pizza. When you try to call them it is an AI that can cannot get a person and wants you to leave a voice mail that they never return. Would not recommend.
