Pickle Factory

Tonight my family ordered 7 pizzas. We were having a great day filled with joy until I brought home the pizzas. As soon as I brought them inside I could see the joy and excitement fall off of everyone’s faces. The «large» pizzas were about the size of a dollar tree fun size pizza. Then I took the first bite. Lukewarm. Thin. Microscopic amounts of cheese/​sauce. Think as If a pita chip made love to a bucket of Thai seasoning. I feel like a little piece has died inside of me today. But that’s probably from my stomach being barren even though I ate a few slices. But wait, as I am writing this something great has happened. My cousin brought back Digiornos. Gotta go, time to eat some real pizza.

Best spot on 30A. The pizza is great. Thai wings are off the chart. Crab Rangoon is dynamite. And the pickle chips are perfect. Here a week, are here 3 times.

Fried pickles were great. The pizza was similar to a low end frozen pizza. The reason for the 1 star is that their customer service was AWFUL. They are cash only and have a sign that says they have an ATM available inside. When I went to get cash (after eating) the machine was out of service. The guy I presumed was the owner said he forgot to tell the ATM company he was now open for lunch. The «owner» then told me I could go across the street and get cash from a bar (with my van of kids) I instead left the $ 19 I had and left. Owed (31) he followed us into the parking lot and demanded we pay the check. I told him we would and drove away. Have not had a chance to go back yet.

Four stars for the shabby island bum eclectic décor. Cute comfy space, velvet settee, great bar seating for 8. Small place!
I’d only give it 2 stars for the pizza. Very thin, greasy, not great, and I think they were like $ 15 each. Small pizzas. Did not feed my family of 6.
Go for bar and the beer.

Might be nice if you all would answer your phone. Was planning to pick up pizza for the family but no answer.

So let’s get this out of the way — the seating is really lousy, service is not great, dollar waters. the cash only thing, the décor is completely random and they have paper plates– the thin white kind you have at picnics. But now that all the downsides are out of the way — these people are pizza geniuses.
What I really like about this place are the dressing and the sauces — the fried pickles with the homemade ranch were the best I’ve had. The strawberry poppyseed salad dressing was so good I licked the bowl — which seems perfectly acceptable at pickle factory.
The vegetarian pizza was absolutely delicious — very thin crust and an excellent mix of flavors. It was by far the best pizza I’ve had in ages. Kids loved the pepperoni. The margarita pizza was the least of the three pizzas and I could eat that all day.
If you are into hole in the wall random goodness — this is the place.

I’m giving the Pickle Factory five stars, well because I just love the place. Come here for good vibes and great pizza, plus other foods with a distinctive Thai flare. It’s a local dive with a very laid back atmosphere — think lava lamps, cool music and even a VIP hookah lounge on the front porch. You can kick back on a couch and have pizza over the coffee table or sit at a dining table. The pizza is superb. Thin crust, and a light amount of sauce and cheese so as not to take away from the flavor of other toppings. Nice beer and wine selection. Very friendly staff — the owner himself asked how our meal was. Hope this was helpful!

The bottom line: Surprisingly fantastic pies (the best thin crust, Milan style that I have had anywhere, ever), complimented by unsurprisingly terrible customer service and an environment that only a crazy person could dream up.
The old man who runs the place is about as unhappy as anyone I’ve ever met. That being said, the quality of his pies allow me to ignore everything else.
My recommendation: Go, but take it home!

Started calling them around 4:15 no answer so I finally drove down there at 4:45, they was just opening up (should have drove to another place), owner acted like I was bothering him to place an order at 5:00, went ahead and ordered two pizza, pizza was ok nothing special price wasn’t bad either but will never go back for the service was terrible.

Meh. Everything was just kind of okay. The options for pizzas were plentiful and the descriptions were great. The execution was lacking. I’m not a fan of the slightly burnt cracker pizza crust. I guess that was the aim for the texture. It tasted like those pizza Combo snacks.
The service was subpar and it took a long time to cook a pie. We were only one of two parties at the restaurant. Communication with the waitress was a struggle.
The owner or manager was a little short with us when we asked a question. Honestly wouldn’t even have gone through with this review of it wasn’t for that. Might be a good experience for some, but there are safer bets around town.

Strange name. Funky place. Hands down the best Pizza on 30A. Get the veggie pizza. You won’t miss the meat.

WOW! Some of the BEST pizza I have ever encountered! Take some of the best aspects of thin crust pizza you can imagine, then add some Thai flare. Spicy as you like it, but not just hot, flavorful hot.
The wings are the best I have ever had. I swear I want some extra sauce to take home and put on my toothbrush in the morning!
The Chef certainly is a genius!
Dont stress about the reviews with less than 4 stars on this place, these people need to get over their issues and learn how to enjoy some good food.

Ok food but extremely surly and rude staff. I definitely don’t need attitude on my vacation and while I’m eating and paying someone for a meal. What’s up with having to pay for water? Tap water should be fine and available. I highly recommend you stay very far away from this restaurant — «it’s a Debbie Downer on your Nice Vacation.»

Amazing pizza! I went for the first time a few years ago and now stop to eat there every time I’m in town because I haven’t found a better pizza yet. I was very surprised to find they serve some thai dishes which I Also enjoyed. All of the food is freshly made and has great authentic taste!
The employees are very nice and fun. I love the relax feel; where else can you sit on a couch and enjoy a great pizza?! The place just has such a cool vibe. I just wish I didn’t have to make a 16 hour drive and was able to go more than the twice a year I’m in town.

What I Liked.
It’s totally a local dive. Owner has given it a real feel. Small resturant for sure. Great music playing (not live) just good lite 70s stuff over the speakers.
Eclectic place. It’s like a quiet bar/​pizza house/​local hangout all melted together. We sat on a sofa with a few chairs around it. Sorta fit right in with the décor. Felt like that’s the way it should be!
Food.
It’s a gourmet pizza joint but it’s got a small assortment of other options too. Lots of unique pizza options to choose from in terms of how they are prepared with toppings. There was also other unique menu options like Thai wings (didn’t try them).
REALLY Awesome fried pickles. Best I’ve ever had to be honest. Owner actually grows them himself. It shows too! Stellar fresh.
A few salad options too.
My son had popcorn shrimp. It was ok. I’ve had better. Over-​cooked a bit.
Pizza was great actually. Not saturated with heavy oil or loaded down with sauce. So we didn’t leave feeling gross! Which happens a lot after pizza!
What I Didn’t Like: I felt like the pizzas were priced a tad bit high for a 12″ pizza. They only give you one size option. And it’s all thin crust. So it’s pizza «their way» in that sense but it worked.
And they serve soda by the can. So no refills obviously. Not the most customer friendly in that one regard. If they changed that and offered fountain drinks I think it would help them.
Service was just great though. Overall it’s worth it. Definitely worth try it.

Pizza was very good. Other than that, rest of experience was big disappointment. Service is very slow, they didn’t take credit cards, they make you pay for water, only use paper plates, etc…

I love this place! Thai Pizza, are you kidding me? Thai wings? The best wings I’ve ever. The pizza is incredibly different and wonderful. I have no idea why the the rating are so low. This place is packed! Low ratings seems to be this place’s last problem.
Really spicy favorable food.
CASH ONLY WHEN JULY 3RD

Very cool quaint atmosphere (probably not the best place for multi-​family parties). Loved watching Jeff make the pizzas right in front of us. Waiter was friendly. Pizza was delicious. Not the biggest pizzas so order accordingly. Meat Lovers was our favorite.

The pizza is just the way I like it, thin crust and fresh toppings. Love the salads, the dressings are all home-​made. Surprisingly there are several Thai dishes on the menu at this pizza place. I freaking love Thai food and must say they do a great job. Very authentic Thai flavor. I have always had a great time here and find the owners and staff fun and friendly…

What a great eclectic mix of pizza and Thai this place is. Where else can you sit on a couch in the restaurant and eat your dinner? My wife, who is not a pizza fan, said she’d eat pizza a lot more if it was like this one each time. She fell in love with the Thai pizza. There is very little seating which is the only negative I have for this location, but given that it’s pizza, I’m guessing they mostly do take out. Would definitely return.
Cash or check only. (they do have an ATM on location though)
