Value (6 out of 10)

mentioned by 10% of the guests

When it comes to value, some folks appreciate that this spot can really work with their budget. With an average score of 6 and a mixed customer satisfaction of 50%, it seems theres a glimmer of hope for affordability, based on one positive sentiment. However, the price can be a sticking point for others.

One diner found two personal pizzas totaling almost $40, which felt steep, especially when the quality didnt match the cost. This suggests the value proposition isn't always hitting the mark, based on one critical experience.

If youre on a tight budget, you might find something that works for you here. But be warned, the value can be inconsistent, with some feeling the price doesnt always justify the quality. It's a bit of a gamble on the value front.

How are the prices at Pizzetteria Tarantini?

You’re looking at roughly 18 per person – reported by 16 diners. That puts it in the $11–$20 category. For a Pizzeria, it’s comfortably mid-range: not a steal, but not bank-breaking either.

Looking at what people actually spend, most guests find themselves in this $11–$20 sweet spot, with only a few venturing higher. So, prices are pretty consistent around the average.

Here’s a quick look at what guests spend per person, based on the latest 16 reviews.

Authentic Pizza, Excellent Experience
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the best pizza I've eaten since returning from NYC. It was incredibly delicious and authentic. The atmosphere was rated a 5, and the service was also a perfect 5. It was quiet and easy to talk. The food quality was rated a 5 as well.

Authentic Neapolitan Pizza Perfection!
Pizzetteria Tarantini is a beautifully sleek yet unassumingly presented Neapolitan-style food truck serving the Orlando and Central Florida area. Their pizza is truly artisanal and handcrafted — the dough is made from scratch, and the complementary ingredients are imported directly from Italy, providing an authentic experience. I’ve had their Margherita pizza twice now, and it’s genuinely reminiscent of the pizza I’ve enjoyed in Italy — so much so that it makes me miss being there! The crushed tomato sauce, cheeses (Parmesan, Pecorino Romano, and Fior di Latte), basil, and extra virgin olive oil all harmonize beautifully with the warm, handmade dough. Nothing is overdone or dominant on the palate — just perfectly balanced flavor in every bite. The plain cannoli, with its crisp pastry shell, sweet vanilla cream, chocolate chips, and dusting of powdered sugar makes for the perfect dessert — tastefully light, satisfying, and generously sized for sharing. Equally memorable are the people behind it all — Fabrizio, Alicia, and Roberto. They’re a wonderful family who embody quality and passion in every sense, from the food truck and the nice outdoor seating they set up to the food itself. Since first meeting them in September and seeing them at my apartment complex twice now, it’s been a joy getting to know them and hearing their story — how they started and how far they’ve come. Needless to say, I look forward to being a returning customer, because this is more than just a business — it’s a passion, and it shows. I wish them continued success and thank them for their constant dedication and kindness!

Authentic Neapolitan Pizza in Orlando!
Wow! If you have been in Naples, Italy, this pizza will bring you back. If you haven't visited Naples, now you have the opportunity to enjoy what a Real Neapolitan Pizza tastes like in Orlando. Too bad we can't give more than 5 stars. The Cannoli are another level! Make sure to follow them and don't miss the opportunity to try their products. Great job Tarantini Team. Much blessings to come.

Exceptional Pizza Truck Experience!
My experience with Pizzetteria Tarantini for a block party was absolutely fantastic. I was looking to book a food truck and came across them. While food trucks can be a gamble, Pizzetteria Tarantini was a jackpot! They were incredibly accommodating, working with my budget and scheduling an in-depth phone call to discuss their business and pizza-making process. This conversation solidified my decision to book them. They followed up proactively to ensure everything would be perfect for the event. On the day of the party, they arrived over an hour early and not only set up their truck but also created a comfortable seating area for guests. Attendees had a great variety of pizzas to choose from, all sounding delicious. The personal pizza portions were generous, and the flavors were spot-on, clearly made with the best ingredients. Their passion for their work was evident in the quality of both the food and the service. Although we only had pizza, I'm eager to book them again next year for their specialty Italian beverages, desserts, and gelato. I can confidently say that whether you're visiting them at an event or looking to cater, you won't regret it!

Disappointing Pizza Experience
EDIT: thank you for your response - I do appreciate it. I have included the receipt from our order Friday with time stamps. We received the order in hand around 5: 25. And took the photo of the slice at 5: 53. Please understand that my only one review on this account is due to the fact that I don’t post reviews! I understand how tone can be misconstrued in a message, which is why we also added what we enjoyed. We also wanted to share our experience. Sometimes things happen, so that’s why I added that perhaps something was off that day. But we did not make anything up and this pizza is not old. We are not those types of people. Hopefully this edit with photos clarifies that. Once again, thank you for your response and have a nice day. My boyfriend and I were really excited to try this food truck, as I’m Italian from up north and haven’t had pizza in so long! After reading the reviews, we decided to give it a try. We got 2 personal pizzas which totaled almost 40 dollars. Upon opening it, the cheese looked like blocks that hadn’t settled properly and biting into it was rubbery and cold 😕 there also wasn’t any flavoring at all! We had to place it in the oven in order to eat it. We both felt off after and unfortunately have both been in the bathroom all night and day. I’m wondering if something wasn’t quite right with the ingredients. We did enjoy the crust and hoping this was just an off day.
