Whether you're wrapping up a busy day at the theme parks or simply looking for a local gem away from the tourist crowds, there’s something wonderfully satisfying about biting into a perfectly baked slice of pizza. And in Winter Park, Florida, that craving has one clear destination: Boardwalk Pizza.
At TUXEDO Executive Limousine and Car Service, we’re always on the lookout for local favorites to recommend to our guests—and Boardwalk Pizza has earned a permanent place on that list. If you're looking for the best pizza in Winter Park, this family-owned spot delivers the goods, and then some.
🍕 More Than Just Pizza—It’s a Local Institution
Tucked away at 5419 Lake Howell Road, Boardwalk Pizza isn’t some over-hyped chain or Insta-famous flash in the pan. This is authentic, community-rooted pizza with over 30 years of experience under its belt. The owners and staff treat everyone like family, and you can taste the difference in every bite.
From the moment you walk through the doors, you’re welcomed like a regular—even if it’s your first visit. And trust us, once you’ve had a slice here, it won’t be your last.
🔥 Handmade Pies That Hit the Spot
Boardwalk Pizza’s menu starts with classic New York-style pies, served in 16" glory or by the slice for a quick fix. The dough is made fresh daily, the sauce is flavorful without overpowering, and the cheese blend is melty perfection. But it's the toppings—and the way they’re balanced—that really make each pizza shine.
Some standout favorites:
Meat Deluxe – A carnivore’s dream loaded with pepperoni, sausage, ham, bacon, meatballs, and extra cheese.
Veggie Deluxe – A colorful combo of broccoli, mushrooms, onions, green peppers, tomatoes, and, you guessed it—more cheese.
Boardwalk Special – Their signature blend of meats and veggies for those who want it all.

But the magic doesn’t stop at pizza. Their menu also features calzones, strombolis, fresh salads, wings, subs, and hearty pasta dishes like baked ziti and chicken parm.
🌱 Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Options
Let’s face it—pizza isn’t always easy on the diet, but Boardwalk Pizza goes out of its way to accommodate. For gluten-sensitive guests, they offer a 10” gluten-free crust option. Dairy-free? They've got you covered too.
If you're traveling with dietary restrictions, this place ensures everyone can enjoy a slice (or two) without worry. You can read more about their allergen-friendly approach here.
