This is a small location on cross creek in new Tampa. The place is conveniently located next to the Mobil gas station in the small shopping mall. There are a few tables and booths to dine and there menu is fairly large. I have always had pizza from this location and nothing else but I am always satisfied with my service and product. Daily specials are offered for lunch and i think there are a few coupons circulating some where. The chicken Mediterranean pizza is wonderful. Plain cheese pizza is great to. The crust is crispy with a soft inside. It's stone baked and so yummy good. Sauce is satisfying not to tomatoey with just the right amount of spice. The order time is not long and all pies are made fresh to order. I can't say enough about this place so far. It's the too go stop for a great New York style pizza.

I'm from NJ, and I was so happy with the thought that I would be getting some good ole pizzeria food from around the way. I go back home to the NY/NJ area 3-4 times a year, and I know how the food tastes. I was so very disappointed! The food was flavorless. It wasn't even a nasty taste,just a whole bunch of nothing. The pizza seemed like it was dead. No melty cheese, just a sheet of plastic with pepperoni on top. It was huge, but such a waste of time and effort they took to make it, and money I paid for it. Whomever is making the food needs to go back home and get a refresh on how New York pizzeria food tastes. This misses the mark by leaps and bounds.

Called. Ordered a pizza. Was told 20 min. They called me back to confirm the order. Arrive 26 min later to pick it up. It's not even In the oven yet. The three people who work here are all watching game show network. Not another person in the building. Last time I come here.

Pizza was average. The crust was great, but the overall flavor just wasn't there. The sausage wasn't spread iniformly and also lacked the spicy taste you would normally have. Service was great, from the ordering to the delivery. The gentleman asked how it was as we exited. A big complaint is they offer no tap water. They force you to purchase their bottled water. There are a lot of pizza places to choose from, so find it difficult to see us going back with these major issues.

First off I would love to know who in the right mind would give Hawkeyes pizza a good review?!!!! This has got to be THE MOST disgusting pizza I have ever had in my life!!!! NY style???? Yeah right!!!! Best in Tampa??? Give me a break!!!!! Do yourself a favor and skip this place. You're better off spreading some tomato sauce on a slice of wonder bread with some cheese!

Ordered last night and I have to say I am embarrassed that I had to serve it to my friends. The crust on the veggie pizza was totally burnt, besides that there was no sauce. I have eaten at most of the pizza places in New Tampa never have I had such bad pizza . Seriously how can you mess cheese and bread?

This place was in walking distance of my house when I lived in Tampa. Every time I would stop in, the guy that works there would crack jokes about Sarah Palin and dancing with the stars people while I waiting for my pizza...the 10 minute memories we formed will last forever. Every visit involved me ordering the same gigantor slice of pepperoni and some garlic knots, which was only an awesome 5 bucks. The slice of pizza was huge - if by foldable you mean into an origami swan, then yes. It wasn't the best pizza I've ever had but it was definitely tasty. The garlic knots came in a batch of 3 per order and they are big, buttery, and bready but they could definitely be more garlicy - I like to repel vampires after my dinner and these just wont do it. All in all, if you live near by, hit em up. If not, order papa johns.

WORST FOOD & SERVICE!! Diner Review * Jan 13, 2013 Edit wings, garlic knots - so, we get home from the marathon and crashed and burned. Then we decide to order wings from Hawkeye Pizza (Cross Creek). We ordered wings, garlic knots and some dessert. Ohhhhh how disappointed we were. The "JUMBO" wings were the size of my pinky!! We call them and they say - "that's the size that the company sent us"....not, I'm sorry ma'am - how can we fix this for you. They lie and tell us that they sent us more than 20 to make up for the size - and I'm like - uh, no, there were exactly 20 wings. They wouldn't have it and would not offer any type of compensation. We take the entire order back to Hawkeye's and say, "We would like to just return this and order a pizza and we will eat here". To which the "owner" says, "You will need to pay for the new food". ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????? WE WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THEM EVER AGAIN! Unbelievebly disappointed in their lack of customer service.............. ON ANOTHER NOTE - My cousin ordered a pizza a few weeks ago and it took 1.5 hrs before it was delivered. When they received it - it was cold. They called and the manager said "I can't understand that - it was hot when it left here"! HAHA What a joke of an establishment! Where is the customer service!

Tucked inside a gas station, I stopped here after the visit to the post office on the other side of the gas station. When you walk in, the place is very clean. Compared to places similar to this up north, it is spacious and clutter free. This place advertise that they are 100% halal. I didn't know that when I ordered my sausage slice. I can only assume the sausage was made with chicken or turkey. It would explain why the sausage tasted different. I love now thin the crust is. There is this crunch and bit of a bite to it. The slice is enormous. They cut a 28" pie in to 8 slices. They have lunch specials here and weekday specials too.

I am impressed with their pizza. They offer excellent prices for pizza every Tuesday and Wednesday! Much less than other days. Their services were just OK .... This place has a few tables and seats. It wouldn't be a good place if you bring a huge group of people

Had the 28" pizza. In terms of taste, it was pretty good. I was worried that a pizza so large wouldn't cook well, but i was wrong. Everyone loved it. The shock value of a pizza so large was pretty awesome as well. We will order from hawkeye's again, but we might go with multiple smaller pies.

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
