180 Vilano Grille Pizza

Don't let the decor fool you, this place has excellent food. Had two pizzas, the seared tuna app, and their special, grouper fingers. Everything was excellent. You can't go wrong here. In fact, we ate there three times while staying in St. Augustine beach. Will definitely go back next time we're in the area.

First off let me start by saying I'm happy to be an older overweight American and these observations are those of a privileged first worlder. This place was great! My gf/so and I had the pizza (pepperoni,green peppers,onion and cheese which was excellent. Including the crust which we ate every bite. My only teeny complaint is the noise. We happened to be seated next to a group of loud obnoxious Yankees (is there any other kind? and because of all the tile the noise just echoes. When the herd from the North finally left the noise was much better. Service was fast and friendly. I give it two thumbs up!

We enjoyed eating here. Casual spot. Friendly service. Order the fish sticks (I forget the actual fish type)...they are perfectly done. I tried the burger stromboli thing. Pretty good. My kid had a really good lobster mac.

Because it was close by where I was staying and needed to find a place where there was a no meat option (pizza), I decided to go here. I got the root beer and cheese pizza it was good; kind of the Italian style pizza. The location was seemingly in an odd area felt like I was going to a bad neighborhood when you pass Publix. The inside was small, and seems like it was converted into a restaurant from a house basically. Whenever I go alone somewhere to a restaurant, it feels like I 'm not welcomed by the staff; it 's kind of weird, but that was the case here too. Is it me? Is it the staff having a bad day? Is it because of when people come alone to a restaurant? I don 't know. It 's an odd thing. The service was fine, but just an observation I wanted to make.

This pizza place was conveniently located about 2 or 3 blocks from Vilano Beach. Conveniently, also, there are signs directing you from the beach towards where this pizza place is located away from the beach. It 's a small unassuming place. I walked there to pickup a carry out order, so I only was inside briefly. It looked like just a casual spot to have a beer and a slice/pie. I ordered a plain cheese za and my wife ordered 'my wife 's favorite ' and after hearing her rave about it, I understand why they gave that pie that funny moniker. She loved it! I enjoyed my plain pizza also. (Pictured) They put on adequate cheese with a nice bake not overdone or underdone. It 's a flavorful cheese blend too. The dough is fairly airy; kind of Neapolitan esque. It held up well and had good flavor. The sauce was good but nothing I found particularly noteworthy about not overly tangy, sweet, spicy, etc. It simply complimented the cheese and dough. We also each had a slice of a chocolate chip cake; which was very tasty! They seemed homemade for sure! Overall, I 'd definitely recommend giving this place a try if you 're in the mood for a pizza. Food was prepared as ordered, had plenty of flavor, and ordering/picking up the food was easy the one gentleman even ran outside to give me one of the slices of cake that we ordered but was left behind. So I 'd say they 're good people!
