The Italian Joint - (Near Kissimmee, FL)

5 /5 flawlessdraco: Me and my wife where in the area as she had an appointment near by and as we were looking for the place she needs to go I spotted this place. I always like hitting the mom and pop places for pizza and so after I dropped my wife off I came back the atmosphere is nice quiet and cozy. The service is great even one of the owners came over and we were talking about the Sunday sauce which is delicious! By the way. I ordered fried banana peppers and the double jonied pizza both were very good. There was some kids that order pizza and the guy making the pizza ( which I think is a owner as well) had them come back and he taught them how the pizza was made, they were thrilled for the experience. I will definitely be comiThere were some kids who ordered pizza, and the guy making the pizza (which I think is an owner as well) had them come back and he taught them how the pizza was made.

1 /5 Roxy: I was better off going to a franchise Italian restaurant. The place is not busy at all. The service was not good at all. The flavor of food was not good n the sauce on pasta was so dry. The chicken parm was over cook n crisp with just cheese on top. I ordered garlic rolls they were cold the min u bit into it. What an experience! You wait long for everything including beverages. I normally share with my daughter when trying a new place but from the reviews I thought oh I’ll try a different dish worse thing I did. Reviews are good sometimes but really took me by surprise here. I would never go back! The desserts were not the greatest either. Good luck to your business. I really thought it was authentic but you never know until you experience. It was a first and last for me.

5 /5 Cory Warren: This was an incredible - authentic - Italian gem. We are vegan and they had an entire vegan menu and everything in these pictures is vegan. Three different dishes. The pizza was the best we’ve ever tasted - like ever. Wonderful service and the atmosphere was unreal.

4 /5 Jason Simon: I was in the area with my three kids and needed a place that could work around my daughter’s gluten and dairy restrictions. The Italian Joint came up in my Google search as having gluten-free and vegan options. I ended up ordering my daughter a gluten-free pizza with vegan cheese from their GF menu (not on the kids’ menu), so the price jumped even though it was still a small pizza. For myself, I had the four-cheese ravioli with sausage, and we shared garlic knots. When I used Google Maps to find the location, The Italian Joint showed up clearly in downtown Kissimmee at 215 Broadway. I had to parallel park on the street right in front of the restaurant the street parking was available and accessible. I also spotted some free parking behind the restaurant and nearby street parking options mentioned in reviews. Inside, the vibe is cozy, warm, and intimate you get the sense this is a family-owned spot that takes pride in scratch-made food. In fact, they emphasize that dishes are made from scratch, and for gluten/allergy orders they cook in a conventional (not wood-fired) oven to avoid cross-contamination, which can add extra prep time. If you’re going with dietary restrictions, just be aware that “special” options (gluten-free, vegan) come with extra cost and extra wait. That said, The Italian Joint is a solid option when Google leads you there and you need real accommodation for food allergies.

5 /5 David Bretz: What an amazing place! We love supporting local places and this is such a gem! The food was delicious Anna the B service was outstanding. My wife had minestrone, my granddaughter had a child’s pasta plate and I had chicken Alfredo. Everything was served hot and fresh. They have wood fired pizzas made to order and even bake their own bread. The decor is spot on, with seating both inside and outside. A must if you are in the area.
