The chef here needs to purchase an Italian cookbook. Three of us ordered Bake Ziti. Jerry's version of this is ziti with tomato sauce ( too much paste) lightly sprinkled with mozarella and put under a broiler. No ricotta. Poured onto a plate when it is usually served in a casserole. I guess we'll stick with the Scilian Pizza- what Jerry's does best.

Always get a Jerry's special to go when we head to the boat. Have eaten in a few times. So tonight my daughter hosted a bachorlette Party on disappearing island and they wanted to go get some food close they said to eat at the marina I suggested Jerrys. Not sure what the problems were tonight but as far a service there was none new server and she should have not been alone. Sent a order of calamari back 2x. Ordered a round of drinks for the bride to be almost never got them she never put them in. When the apps came we had no side plates or silverware. We got better service from 2 of the busser. The bride to be never even was recognized with a compt. Drink The biggest issue I have was with my bill I paid cash yes cash and she assumed all the change was her tip never even asked if I needed any change Looks like it will be pizza to go for now on

We've being going to Jerry's for over 15 years, every time we go to the Daytona area. But last Tuesday will probably be our last time! The food was not good at all, calimari, mozzarella sticks and even the pizza was bad. Took forever to get the pizza and second round of beer. The older blonde women server was snotty and condescending when we mentioned coming there for years. Lots of other places to eat in the area don't waste your time and money here.

We love Jerry's. One of favorites on PI. Love the outdoor seating, tiki bar and live music! Keep up the good work!

I highly recommend Jerry's. We've vacationed in Ponce Inlet the past five years and this restaurant is always on our list. Their white pizza and antipasto are outstanding. Make sure you add tomatoes and onions to the pizza to amp it up. I also recommend that you and your family sit outside and enjoy the live music. There is nothing better than hanging out as the sun is going down, trying one of their cold draft beers, and listening to live music.

Very good food and very well priced drinks. We tried the Garlic Knots after seeing a review, and they were awesome! I had a dinner salad, which was very fresh and delicious. We ordered their Philly Cheese Steak Pizza. It was a white pizza and all of the toppings were delicious and abundant. We'd definitely order it again. I ordered one of their souvenir shots, the Pineapple Upside Down Cake. It was true to the name and for $8, including the glass, an excellent price. Great food, great service, and overall a great experience.

Came here for lunch after a little ponce inlet fun. Our party sat outside with all the tiki decorations and it was very nice and comfortable. The stool chairs are very heavy though, so beware! Our large party ordered pizzas, salads and wings. Personally, I had a salad and wings (hot and garlic). The wings were okay. The garlic hard large pieces of garlic on them, yet still weren't too garlicky. The hot was just okay. When I went inside to use the restroom, it was like I was in a whole different restaurant! It was like a semi-fancy italian restaurant with a whole different vibe. I would recommend sitting outside. During our meal, a band took stage and played some music for us, which was cool. There really isn't much to say about the place, it was an acceptable place to eat after a long day at the beach, but nothing I would drive out of my way for. Pizzas were about ~15, wings 30 for $23.

The burger was great made to order medium, pink inside, plenty of fries. The wings were a little dry but plenty of sauce. Live band no cover. Not the Ritz but plenty of character lots of tatoos. Took a long time to pay check. We will return. Italian meals looked great.

Can't believe I didn't know about this place! Went to another Ponce Inlet restaurant late for a few drinks, but they were closing. A server recommended Jerry's Tiki Bar as it's open late. So glad we tried it out! The tiki bar is awesome! Excellent service, really cool atmosphere. I can't speak for the food yet, really haven't gotten the chance to try anything on the menu, but if you're looking for a cool local spot to have drinks, go check it out!

Greeted at the door by a long diagonal strip of plastic tape that said "Infection Zone". Was told it was part of Halloween decorations. Seems in pretty poor taste given the Ebola crisis. Found two long hairs in my burger. An apology but no other attempt to compensate or correct offered. Good bye to Jerry's. I won't be back.

Had a great meal for 9 on Saturday night. Service was great, food for everyone delicious and plentiful. Garlic knots unbelievable but had to ask for them. Family owned and owner made sure we were treated good. 5 stars

We order from this restaurant once a week. Good pizza, and good Italian food. Only reason I docked a star is because when they get really busy, the quality and wait times can be an issue, but if we catch them on a night where they have a normal work load, it is good food for a good price. Only advice I'd give is to remember that just because the restaurant is full is not a reason to hurry or just pump food out.

Pizza and the complimentary garlic knots were yummy. The waitress had a lot to work with but it was great service considering this. Apps did not come out before food.

I live in Ponce so I have had the chance to eat here now several times. I stick to my original view on the ambience of this place, it is fun and the outdoor patio with live music is a great. As for the food, I must say I have yet to have a good meal here. I like thin crust pizza and every time I order it here it comes out soggy? There is nothing worse than soggy pizza. I have had their other dishes as well and I have to say I cannot give this place a good recommendation. I wish I could they are super convenient.

We've live in Ponce Inlet full time and have been to Jerry's Pizza several times now over the years for convenience and, honestly, we won't go back nor recommend it to anyone now. The only food that is eatable there is the pizza. Don't order anything else off the menu. My burger was cooked yesterday, or much earlier that day, and reheated and served to me. It was DRY as a bone. The mayo served with it wasn't mayo at all. It was cheapo salad dressing. My husband ordered a Meatball Parm Sandwich and it had 2 tiny meatballs cut in half and spread over the bread. Pitiful! I'm not sure how they manage to stay in business except for the drinks at the Tiki Bar. Shameful! This place is horrible!

Absolutely the BEST pizza south of NJ, Philly, and NYC. My family is from NJ. We grew up on fantastic pizza. Mom, now a local, loves the soups. Caesar salad is large enough to share. Dressing was served on the side so those, like me, who don't like drowned romaine will be happy. Calzones cover the entire plate. Beer selection is expanding into craft brews. Yippie!

I forgot to write this update last month but.... My family and I got take out at Jerry's around the end of December. I got a house salad. When I started eating it, I bit down on something that did not seem to want to be chewed. I surgically removed this from my mouth and discovered it was a PIECE OF PAPER. Wtf? Do they even WATCH what they are doing? Ew. I probably won't be eating there anytime soon now.

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.
Italian Cuisine
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.
