If you usually eat chain or frozen pizza you are in for a taste sensation! Fresh authentic pizza the way pizza is meant to be. Huge slices, the size of a chain’s small pizza, for more than half the cost of a burger meal. Their large pizza could feed a softball team. I recommend Papa Vito’s to all my guests, whether quickly delivered to your hotel room, B&B or timeshare or in the cool atmosphere of the dinning room. There are a couple pizza parlors in Cape Canaveral but Papa Vito’s has been my absolutely favorite for years. They even deliver to Merritt Island and Cocoa Beach.

Stopped in to have some pizza one night during our visit. Wait was minimal for our party of 6. The server was great. He took great care of us. Pizza was good. I think my NY husband was expecting bigger slices (we ordered the largest pizza) but he had no complaints. He said cannolis were great. We had a cheese, meats and a one with everything I think. Can’t remember the name on the menu. Anyway all were delicious.

You can ask a local if they could have one meal out, where would it be - they'll say Papa Vito's. Old Italian place off the beach, rather small but authentic. Tuesdays they have 16 inch pizza $12.99, $.75 wings, $2.50 pints, and $12 entrees. Other days they have specials as well. Try the Chicken Carbonaro - delicious! Another has 3 kinds of seafood on pasta. You just can't go wrong here.

This was by all means the worst experience I have ever had dining out. There were so many employees and the place seemed really busy, but it was just that, a lot of people working there. From the person who sat us at our table to the server and the person who delivered our food, everyone had a poor attitude. The food was even less to talk about, and our waiter informed us that the pizza dough was pre-made somewhere else. We tried pizza as a carry out a few days prior and it was less than decent but we thought maybe things would go better if we dined in but we were wrong! The sauce tasted and looked like a water down can of tomatoes, and the garlic knots were like hockey pucks. We thought maybe dessert would go better but it was a big fail as the tiramisu looked store bought and tasted even worse. The most disappointing and disgusting part of our visit was when we went to pay our bill and were told that we couldn’t get a military discount because our dinner was part of the dinner specials for that day. We didn’t ask for the dinner special, didn’t know they had dinner specials, we just ordered what we wanted. We were told at the beginning of our visit that they honored a military discount. I would have preferred chef Boyardee over the meal that I received and paid for. We had picked up a pizza a few days prior as a carry out and were informed then that any tip we left for the carryout order, went to the owners, not the employee who took our order and handed us our pizza. It was then we should have known this place was a zero. I don’t care what other reviews say. This place is junk and I would recommend you not waste your time or your money and if you are military, don’t expect any special treatment or discounts.

We ordered a half tray of chicken carbonara for a family party. 1/2 tray was $125 and it had very little chicken mostly ziti. The chicken was very dry and the pasta was extremely over cooked. We were to embarrassed to serve it. Straight to the garbage dumpster. It was recommended as one of there best dishes by the cook. I would hate to taste here worst.

We ordered 2 medium sized pizzas and picked them up for our take out order. Honestly, this place was too expensive. For 2 medium pizzas we paid around $48! And that’s for take out! I was blown away by how expensive it was. We are from Ohio and we don’t have pizzas that expensive where we live so it was quite a surprise to us. The pizza was just ok. I’ve had much better tasting pizza elsewhere. It wasn’t bad by any means, but when you’re charging that much, I guess I just had higher expectations for it. If you’ve ever ate Sbarro pizza at a mall- it’s very similar to that. I would just say it was an average experience for us and way overpriced. I wouldn’t go back personally.

I'm sorry with all the great reviews I have to say it was one of the worst restuarants I have ever gone to. Went with family of 4 and all our meals were greasy. The pizza dough taste frozen, chicken wings were tough and the sauce was just poured on. Meatballs taste breaded and the salad wasn't anything to write home about. Garlic knots greasy and the worst I ever had. This is the God's truth. When I looked at the menu on line it really speaks the truth, nothing looks inviting.

Our order was take-away. It was ready on time, typically priced. However, the food was borderline awful. My husband got a stromboli: half of what it used to be, hardly anything in it. I got a cheese calzone with pepperoni - the pepperoni, cheap quality, was stacked in one spot inside and nowhere else. I wish we took a picture! It was a pathetic and sorry sample of both orders, visually and content-wise ingredients just thrown together. Never again. Too bad. There are other and better options. Try Pozzy's on Merritt Island!

We were looking forward to finding a good place for pizza. Unfortunately this place did not provide a good experience. We asked for a crispy cheese slice and a calzone, also crispy. What we received was an undercooked calzone with a soggy crust and very little cheese. If we wanted cheesy bread this might have been ok. The slice was undercooked and had a very sweet sauce. Not to our liking. Service was mediocre at best. Will not return.

After reading the great reviews, we placed an order fpr pizza for "free" delivery. The pizza was delivered timely but was not cooked hardly at all. It was actually lukewarm and the bottom wasn't cooked and the meat etc on it were not even close to being done. We had to bake it ourselves. Will not go there or order from them again.

We were in town for a baseball tournament, and Papa Vito’s catered our team/family meal (for 50+ people). It was excellent on all accounts! The food was delicious, customer service and communication with the owner was outstanding, and we could not have been more pleased. Highly recommend! Everything was wonderful!

We found this place by chance and were amazed by the size of the pizza. My wife and I shared a pizza whilst my daughter went for the calzone option. We were served complimentary garluc dough balls by a fabulous and very attentive waiter. The ambience was great and we had a terrific time.

This is called the “Spagball” Grinder—basically it’s spaghetti, cheese and “meatballs” on a garlic bread hoagie bun.
So, I order the 12”—a foot long sandwich. You’d expect, again it’s a 12” foot long sandwich, to get some decent sized meatballs #1 but more importantly, you’d expect to get more than 4 total meatballs——see the pic. When it was brought out, the sandwich was cut in 1/2 with just “2” SMALL meatballs on each side of again, a 12” foot long sandwich.
So I had this huge spaghetti and garlic toast sandwich which is basically what it was and then they added a couple small meatballs as a garnishment.
I mean come on, this massive sandwich with 2 small meatballs for each. You get more than that at SUBWAY!!!!
Here’s the kicker, when I addressed this with our waitress, she ask her supervisor what to do as she was fairly new and the supervisor/manager(light red headed woman) actually had the audacity to walk up to me and tell I had to “Order another side order of meatballs” if I thought I didn’t get enough meatballs on their 12” foot long sub sandwich.
Absolutely horrible experience. Customer Service in this country is basically non-existent these days and this place is a Perfect example of that. The fact a restaurant would EVER consider losing a customer to a few meatballs is beyond me. They’re clearly not homemade meatballs and would’ve taken 90 seconds to heat a few more. Lastly, it’s clearly a rip off and a knock on people if they think people don’t have any more common sense to not pick up on it.
I do not recommend this place AT ALL!

We are sorry you feel this way about the food that you were served. All though your picture is not how it was served to you. This is after you pulled it apart from eating it. Our Spagball Grinder is one of our most popular Grinders. It is loaded with 12 ounces of pasta, Four 1 1/2 ounce meatballs loads of Our famous pasta sauce. Served on toasted garlic bread. A Footlong grinder can not be eaten in one sitting. If we were able to post a picture in our response we would. As for customer service we try to give the absoult best service but when a customer demands more and is rude to our staff we do not tolierate that. Your server and key floor person we very polite to you until you started demanding and belittling our staff. We would love to talk more with you about this incident. Please feel free to send us a private message.

We enjoyed Papa Vitio’s while on vacation. Place was busy when we got there, but we were seated in about 10 minutes (we did not realize we had gotten to the restaurant at the end of their “early bird” window offering buy one/get one entree deal).
Food was very good and big portions. It was worth the wait.

A small hometown Italian Restaurant, pleasant.
Chicken and Veal Parm were very good, as was chicken carbonara. Salad that comes with dinner is big, Avocado Lime dressing was taste less, Spicy Ranch was spicy and good. Garlic knots are very tasty.
Waitress, after initial greeting and taking our order was okay. She did check on us a few times, however, laid the check on the table and didn't ask if we wanted dessert. At this point, we felt unwelcome and that she wanted us out.
