Full Circle Pizza & Grill

Very convenient as it is very close to home, my son has officially declared this place as the «best pizza ever» (referring to the small, thin crust, plain cheese pizza that he can *almost finish in one sitting by himself). I agree that the pizza here is quite tasty. I’ve also tried one of their specialty pizzas — The Chicken BBQ– and it was delicious! I tried the «jumbo» chicken wings, which were very good, but they weren’t any bigger than traditional wings I’ve gotten anywhere else. My friend had the Full Circle Wedge Salad, and she really enjoyed that as well.
In addition to the convenient location, I also enjoy the speed of their take out and their prices, which are both very reasonable. I’ve not dined inside yet, but from the times I’ve picked up orders, the dining room seems quite popular… it has the feel of a small, budget pizza joint with plenty of tables, chairs, and booths… go figure :)

I have been in the area for more than 13 years and only tried this place for the first time the other day while searching for something different than the usual. I will start by saying I like to support local business and I love finding and trying quality food. I was optimistic with the reviews I saw, however, the pizza was sub par at best. Nothing special about it, in fact I’ve had better pizza at Hungry Howies. The fried Ravioli was a little better, but the marinara dipping sauce was not good at all. It appears to be homemade, but far to oily and acidic. My real problem were the cinnamon donuts. So awful I had to spit it out. It tasted like old fryer oil that had not been changed frequently enough. Absolutely disgusting. I would never recommend this place unless it were to find somewhere else to eat.

Very good pizza. The sausage is high quality and the sauce has lots of flavor. I wouldn’t consider their deep dish pizza to be deep dish. But when I miss my true Chicago deep dish, I eat here. Great service and fast kitchen as well.

Hubby found this place. He is a huge Chicago Lou Malnati’s pizza fan. After reading the great reviews we took the 50 minute trip to check this place out. Very clean, nicely decorated. Waitress was decent. The truth: the deep dish sausage pizza was just «ok». The crust was not the best. The best part of my meal was the dinner salad. It had the freshest of everything on it. I never finish a salad. This one I did! Won’t be back due to the distance and the just «ok» deep dish. If it were closer I would try other menu items.

The pizzas are pretty dang delicious all the way from your standard, to the deep dish, to pies with some more zing to them. Also have to commend them for placing an order to go even before they opened. Truly a good place to get some pizza.

If you are willing to sit down and review «pizza», chances are you are passionate about this wonderful item in our lives. Once the fare of factory workers it has come a long, long way. You will have to look long and hard to find someone with equal passion as I in the love of this food…
The world’s master sushi chefs will tell you — it’s all about the rice.
The world’s master deep dish pizza slingers will tell you — it’s all about the sauce.
So on this particular Sunday, I thought I’d put Full Circle through their paces and test their alleged Chi-​Town version of tomato pie.
Order: Large deep dish, mushrooms /​onions /​meatballs. Simply, classy and when made right a master combo. Cost ~ $ 25
Sauce (⁹⁄₁₀). Rich, sweet (too sweet for some possibly) and wonderfully thick. I’m an absolute fan. Bravo!
Crust (⁷⁄₁₀) — also impressed especially for Florida waters — perfect texture, not too hard or soft — perfectly cooked. It did taste a little flat /​flavorless but I’ll gladly accept that in trade for over /​under cooked soggy or cardboard.
Filling (⁵⁄₁₀) The pie was heavy to the hand but not to the degree I expected. I thought that the «toppings» (perhaps fillings in this case) were lacking. They were insufficient in size and quantity and left much to be desired. I also felt this was more of what I’d call a pan-​pizza hybrid and not a true Chicago deep dish. Those puppies need all the union workers you can bribe to heave the tonnage up on to the table while you share mob stories with the fam …
Service: (¹⁰⁄₁₀) Nice, friendly, polite, efficient. ‘nuf said.
When viewed in totality, however, I’m not unhappy. It ranks up their with Pizza Squared in my view and now is added to the rotation.
If you like pizza you absolutely owe it to yourself and Circle to give them a try.
I’ll have to think Detroit /​Chicago when I consider my next pizza craving. now if I can only find a shop to truly fill in the NY option life can go on.
Days: Closed Tuesdays
As of this writing, the deep dish is offered Sun — Thu.
Doors open at 4PM.

Super-​duper FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE… Customer service at its finest!!! MARIE is THE BOMB!!! Pizza was good and so was the French Fries and Beef sandwich. I can’t go raving about the food, but I can definitely go on and on about the SERVICE… EXCELLENCE.
I would come here again… just to have Marie serve and entertain my little ones!

I love this place as they are the only place close to Wesley Chapel that makes a Chicago style deep dish.
I always get it mushrooms and sausage (a Chicago must).
The only problem is they do not do Chicago style every day of the week, but I make sure I know when.

I consider myself a pizza connoisseur! I love pizza… And Full Circle has solidified themselves as a GREAT pizza place! Yes it comes in squares… No they are not open on Tuesday… But the pizza is worth it! No store bought crust… Great tasting sauce. I got take out and even after a minor sliding issue the pizza was still exceptional… (no I’d don’t work for them)
I just love great pizza and they have a good one… You know it’s a good pizza if the toppings come off on the first and you get the rest of the pizza anyway!
Try it and see for yourself… As for me and my pizza loving self, I’ll be back!

Having frequented the first Circles often in the past, I wanted to try and see if Full Circle was anything like it. Ordered a thin crust pizza and was surprised when I got home to dig in. Pizza was thin and perforated with a taste of store bought crust. While the sausage was great, the sauce and crust were not what I would consider pizza. On top of that, it was cut into squares. In my experience, a hallmark of chain pizza places. Having seen all these positive reviews I was anticipating at least a decent pie but sadly that was not the case. Unfortunately, this was my first and last time eating here. The staff was nice for the brief interaction I had which accounts for the 2^nd star.

Our favorite pizza place does not serve pizza anymore and after searching and searching we found another favorite. Love their pizzas.

Great pizza! Dough could have been cooked couple mins longer, but great flavor. Chicken pesto pizza… mmmm!

This place has been my cheat meal for six consecutive weeks. And, now I refuse to eat pizza from any other restaurant. My fiancé is from the Chicago area and since moving to Tampa a few years ago, has complained about the crappy pizza and lack of Italian-​style sandwiches… until now. Every single item we’ve ordered has been superb. The wedge salad is loaded, and has more flavor than any I’ve had before. The Italian beef (ask for melted mozzarella, and for au jus on the side), the Chicago-​style hotdog, and the meatball sub are all simply amazing. The thin crust pizza has such perfect texture and crunch. We ask for extra sauce (which makes it the perfect amount), the four cheese blend, and then change up the variety of yummy toppings. It is, without a doubt, the best pizza I’ve ever had. They don’t offer delivery, which is the only negative, but I suppose when they offer such consistently, delicious food, they don’t have to.

Yes! It’s here! Chicago style pizza in Florida! When we moved down here almost a year ago, we thought we had to say goodbye to deep dish and square slices and hello to mediocre pizza.
Thank goodness it wasn’t true! Our entire family has officially been hooked, to the point where when we say «pizza tonight?» we all know we’re talking about Full Circle.
Delicious, reasonably priced, downright amazing.
Great job bringing good pizza to Florida!

So I am a huge pizza snob. I take the mentality sometimes, that, man if I want crappy pizza, I’ll just get a chain pizza. Last night I wasn’t so much in the mood for craptastic pizza. I hit Unilocal to see what my other options are. Stumbled upon this page and saw the words, CHICAGO PIZZA. Now, let me just tell you, there’s a lot of people who claim to be Chicago style, places like LOVENS, which yes, is good pizza, but it’s not Chicago style. The best place I’ve eaten Chicago style was in San Fran. That being said, This place NAILED IT. I mean REALLLYYY nailed it. The crust a tad different, but that’s me grasping for something. Sausage was spot on, the cheese was spot on, the tangy sauce, spot on. I also ordered a regular cheese pizza, in case this was a strike out, and hey, not everyone can handle the Chicago Style. I didn’t ask for thin crust, I actually HATE thin crust, (Obviously, if I order the Chicago deep dish) and this was seriously the best thin crust I’ve ever had in my life. I don’t know what these guys do, but the end result is magic, and I can’t wait to kill off the left overs, and order from them again.
I know this seems like sort of a high energy, over the top kind of review. But I never do these things, EVER. Something about the gloriousness of this pizza, made me want to change that. Being a small business owner myself, I felt I had to shout out to the top of my internet lungs, how much these guys are doing it right, when so many are doing it wrong.

This is a great pizza parlor. We were worried about finding something good to eat late one evening, and when we pulled into the strip mall, I was concerned. But it quickly turned to delight when I saw that in addition to being open and still willing to make us some food, they served good beer as well. We ordered a large pizza, a german weiss beer, and a deep dish as well, and all our bases were covered.
Having worked in a pizza parlor myself for several years, the quality of the ingredients and the skill involved in making these pies really stood out.
The service is top-​notch, very friendly owner and staff, and the night ended on a high note!

Best Chicago Style Pizza … Delicious. Great service, great food, everything Chicago!!! The beefs are to die for… Must have if in the area

Without question the best pizza in the area. Coming from the Midwest I really miss Chicago style pizza. The cheese, sauce and toppings are top notch and you won’t find anything that tastes like this heaven anywhere else.
I’ve ordered out (never dined in) over a dozen times since finding them a year ago. The garlic knits are unnecessarily good. Exactly what my life has been missing! The thin crust is cooked PERFECTLY every time, I don’t know how! Middle of the pizza is as golden perfect and the bite just as crunchy as the outer edges. I’ve introduced several people to this pizza, they all share my sentiments. The medium is enough for two people (or just get the large and eat it by yourself like I do). Had a sausage, mushroom and banana pepper pizza tonight, delicious as always!
The best part? This is the kind of pizza that tastes even better when you reheat it the next day! No questions asked, 5 stars.
Oh yeah, and top it all off with the fact that ALL of their employees are so nice you’d think you were friends.

I came across this place by reading the New Tampa Patch. What caught my attention was CHICAGO PIZZA! We finally spotted it on the way to Wal-​Mart, and of course, we had to go. This place is a small establishment owned by a South Side Chicago guy.
The restaurant specializes in Chicago style thin pizza, Chicago Italian Style Beef Sandwiches, and Chicago Style Hot Dogs. When I saw that, Aurelio’s pizza and Portillo’s dance to gangham style in my head.(Two places that when I lived in Chicago, I took for granted, and now I miss).
We ordered a large thin crust pineapple and ham pizza. The crust was very tasty. I feel like I have not been able to taste a flavorful crust in a long time. I love sauce, and they did not have too much sauce. It sounds like many people do not like a lot of sauce. Once I got extra sauce, the pizza was oh so perfect for me. The owner said he use to put extra sauce on the top like they did in Chicago, but people did not like that. I will definitely do that next time, and try the italian beef sandwiches.
Definitely check this place out, I will be back for sure.
