Customer Reviews

I will never eat at another pizza place here in town. My first time here and I am speechless cause my mouth is full of AMAZING PIZZA I can't begin to explain the taste it's so fresh and soooo good. It's definitely something you have to come experience!! I came for my lunch break got a small kids pizza and meatballs on the side. I didn't want to spend a lot and not like it. Only $15 which is great for everything.. Well I wished I had got 2 regular pizzas now and more meatballs!! The sauce I could drink out the bowl and pizza crust is perfection!!! The service was just as great as the food. I am now a customer for life the pizza is that GOOD!

The biggest hidden gem! Everything was incredibly delicious. The garlic bread, meatballs, pizzas, pasta and desserts. I wish we lived anywhere close to Dolce Forno but sadly we live 10 hours away... next time we drive by Crestview, FL we will definitely stop by again! I didn't take pictures of the other food because it was way too good and we were very hungry. After living in Italy for a year and a half I can confidently say this was the best italian food (authentic Italian made by Italians) in the US! Vi ringrazio!!!

I can not say enough great things about this amazing little place. My transport partner and I have stopped here the past 2 weeks in a row for lunch on our way back to Pensacola and it has been perfection both times. I will be bringing my boys to Crestview to enjoy a great meal here soon!!

Antipasto selection is excellent. We had a arancini and meatballs were both phenomenal. I have not found a pizza here that I did not like. Stromboli was excellent. The atmosphere is nice. The owners are amazing people. Everything is made fresh and it's hot when you get it. They make fresh dough everyday for the pizzas. I cannot recommend Dolce Forno enough. They are also very affordable which is a plus when you have a big family. There is not an abundance of seating and it is all outdoor seating so keep that in mind. I will come back and add pictures the next time we go.
