Pizza pizza! Everyone loves it, and I’m no different! Where to go for that mouthwatering cheese-dripping perfect-topping pizza at the beach? Many options abound, and here are a few of our locals’ favorites.
Pazzo Italiano
34904 Emerald Coast Pkwy #114, Destin, FL 32541
If you’re looking for an authentic Italian pizza experience complete with a wood- fired pizza oven, you’ve come to the right place. Voted “Best Pizza in Destin 2019,” this Naples, Italy hotspot touts choices of three different sizes, a kid’s size pizza, a happy hour specialty pizza served from 5-6pm at the bar, or a regular sized pizza straight off the menu. Choose from classic cheese and pepperoni, or tease your taste buds with specialties including Margherita, Porchetta, Bianca, Alfonso, and many more. True artisanal pizzas shine at this location with toppings like truffle oil, prosciutto, soppressata, salami and much more.
Mimmo’s
979 US Hwy 98 E, Ste. 5, Destin, FL 32541
Another great option is also an authentic Italian experience with a wood-fired oven. Why not cozy up to the pizza bar here, watch the Italian pizza chef toss the handmade dough, and warm up by the pizza oven? Only the freshest ingredients are served for the most delectable experience. Toppings include caramelized onions, fire-roasted red peppers, Prosciutto de Parma, Genova salami, meatballs etc. Mimmo’s has by far my favorite vegetarian pizza! And not to be missed, the Garlic Rolls, swimming in fresh garlic, olive oil and cheese, are the perfect start to your meal.
Mellow Mushroom

An institution in Destin, founded back in 1974 in Atlanta, Georgia, Mellow Mushroom does not disappoint. An eclectic family-friendly spot, everyone enjoys the fresh stone-baked pizzas here.

One of my favorites here is the Cheese Breadsticks that you dip in marinara sauce!
