restaurant of the month Restaurant of the Month: Winter Garden Pizza Company Located in the heart of Historic Downtown Winter Garden along the West Orange Trail, is a full service casual Italian Restaurant with a whole lot of heart. With fantastic service & hospitality and a menu chock full of delicious items, the Pizza Company has developed a great following with local residents and visitors alike. Their mouth-watering New York style pizza has won multiple awards in the Central Florida area including Best Pizza in both Orlando Magazine’s Dining Awards and Cityvoter’s A-List, as well as in WESH-2’s Top 10 Best Pizza Places in Central Florida. In addition to their glorious pie options, the restaurant offers calzone, Stromboli, a variety of sandwiches, various different pasta dishes, as well as lasagna, chicken or eggplant parmesan, and other baked dishes. All sauces are made from scratch and each dish and pie are made to order --- even the mozzarella sticks are homemade. The soup and salad bar is always fresh and always a winner (and the Greek dressing is divine!). Dinners start at $7.95 and top out at $11.95. The kids menu ranges from $2.95 - $3.95 including a drink. The Pizza Company also serves wine and beer, with a few beers on tap from Orlando Brewing. What also helps to make this gem even more of a favorite for locals and guests is the friendly and attentive wait staff. Even at their busiest, you can be sure you and your party will be greeted and served with a smile and an air of hospitality which welcomes you “home.” Winter Garden Pizza Company also hosts a variety of events. Each Tuesday at 2pm, guests gather to play a few rounds of Bingo. Recently, Jake of the Neverland Pirates stopped in to entertain kids, and Cinderella stopped in for a special Sunday Brunch. Each Wednesday evening is kid’s night (where children eat free with a paid adult entrée), with a strolling balloon artist and specials for children. On Saturday, April 25th, the Pizza Company is hosting “Brunch with the Snow Sisters.” Elsa and Anna of Frozen fame, will be on hand during two seatings – one at 9am and another at 10:30am. This 60-minute dining experience will feature a great breakfast buffet with the snow sisters visiting each table to say hello and take photographs.
