A hearty welcome to Piazza Pizza and Beach Bodega, the all-new concept that is redefining dining experiences on the island and bringing an innovative concept to life.

Formerly situated at the Hampton Inn on Pensacola Beach, Piazza Pizza has now found its new home across the street at 5 Via De Luna Drive Suite G, complete with its stunning Italian brick oven handcrafted brick by brick.

For those craving something beyond pizza, they offer an enticing selection of made-to-order Italian paninis, subs, and salads, each bursting with fresh ingredients and bold flavors.
