About

Italian RestaurantPizza Restaurant
Cheese Wheel Pasta & Pizza — a warm and authentic Italian dining experience in the heart of Clearwater, Florida. Our kitchen is rooted in the timeless traditions of southern Italy, we specialize in fresh, home-made pasta prepared daily with love and simplicity, just like Nonna used to make. The cheese wheel pasta, sometimes called “pasta Alla Ruota,” is a dish that mixes steaming hot cooked pasta in a hollowed cheese wheel. At the heart of our menu is our Neapolitan pizza, baked in a high-temperature stone oven to achieve the perfect charred crust, soft center, and smoky flavor. Made with imported 00 flour, San Marzano tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella, our pizzas are a tribute.

    The food is absolutely amazing! The pizza chef is a rock star. Whatever he's doing is working because the pizza is the BEST pizza I've eaten outside of Italy. The service staff is professional, friendly, and very attentive.

    Delicious! The pizza was absolutely delicious. Napoleon style, crust was bubbly and crispy, the pepperoni was the right amount of spice. When you walk in they are making homemade pasta. If you’ve never had cheese wheel pasta it’s worth the calories. We will be regulars, been living in Clearwater for 20 years and we just found our new go to pizza place for sure.

    Cheese wheel pasta so simple but so delicious. Homemade pasta, sauces made when you order. Two ordered Mushroom Alfredo one without garlic. Two of us have trouble with garlic so this is a great option! Service was quick and delightful.

    My husband made Valentine’s reservations for Cheese Wheel Pasta and Pizza and the experience did not disappoint. They had beautiful table settings and the food and service were stellar. Their Caesar salad is the best one I have ever had and the table side cheese wheel pasta was wonderful. The spaghetti and meatballs were phenomenal. We will definitely be back soon- thanks for making our Valentine evening memorable!

    Was so excited to go there based on reviews. Went on a week day night w/3 in our party of all adults at 5:30pm. The atmosphere was..meh nothing special. Loud, no "Italian,-vibe" non-descript, big wall TVs, loud music, wooden hard chairs, no privacy. Service was poor from beginning to end. Did not offer bar drinks (nice bar but no bartender). No hostess, no signs to seat self/wait - walk into the immediate dining area standing in line watching people eat 2 ft away..very awkward. Seated at a table for 2 not 3-no room and there were other open tables. Servers whizzing by but no one taking our orders. After 15 min no drink order (we were ready to order alcohol) , but immediate request for orders so we drank the water -lost revenue. Menus cheap paper and hard to read (wrinkled) white print on black menu. The restaurant name says it all yet only one meal is spun within the cheese wheel (Yes, I asked). So disappointed, no choice there. Added chicken for a protein (+$6) ; was steamed (?) no seasonings at all. Pasta was heavy, doughy & thick no fresh and light as homemade should be. No small side items - like small side salad, veg. We were finally served all at different times as we ordered different items - at least 10 min apart. If you go and love good pasta, order the pizza. Pizza was good w/a crisp crunch. I gave 3 stars just for the pizza. I will not recommend. So disappointed. Done well, this could have been a really nice dining option. I really hope they improve.
