Carmelas Brick Oven Pizza - Pizza restaurant in Stuart - 2311 SE Ocean Blvd, USA

Small but comfortable Italian style restaurant. The staff is friendly, the restaurant is clean, it has a basic atmosphere, and the food is very good. The pizza, the entrees, and the in-house made deserts are tasty. Has a bar area, but I haven't had the opportunity to try that side of the restaurant. It's not noisy to the sit-down side.

A must stop in Stuart!! We love the traditional crust with the chicken Bella pizza. The mix of flavors is out of this world. And don't forget the garlic knots!! We always over order because leftovers are the best!!!

Wow absolutely delicious! Their pizza and sauce is a reminder of New York. I drive 34 miles for their food. It’s worth it! As for the price it’s reasonable not overpriced. The place is clean everywhere. That’s another plus! And, finally the service she was very polite and helpful.

After checking online order options here I decided to call. After about three busy lines I got thru and placed the order. I asked which clam sauce the order taker recommended and she said a lot of people get the white so I did. This is a small place but there seemed to be a lot of workers behind the counter working efficiently. It was kind of hot in there and I wouldn't want to have eaten my dinner there as the pickup line commotion was significant. After a reasonable wait got my order and went home only to find I got "marinara" crushed tomatoes with mussels not white clam sauce. Called and I think the manager owner answered and said to give 15 minutes to get what I wanted done and to bring back the mussels. I did and found the take out line way bigger. Found the manager and she took my dinner, verified that I wanted the white clam sauce and went to the back. Don't think the order started till I got there. After about 15 min got the order and she said they of course wouldn't charge for the difference. What she didn't understand nor could I prove since they did not give me a itemized receipt is that I paid for the more expensive meal in the first place. The clam sauce was basically a soup with linguine what was well cooked but I had to fish out the clams from the 1.5 cups of broth. The lasagna was huge and ok. If you like garlic this is the place to come, in my photo of the clam shells the lower left is not clams but lots of garlic. The food was pretty pricey too.

So sad to report after years of ordering from here, the last 3 trips have been awful. Food just doesn’t taste the same here anymore. Ordered a 16” pepperoni and 16” Margarita yesterday. Ate two slices of the Margarita pizza and the mozzarella didn’t smell or taste right. Woke up this morning around 1am and violently threw up for several hours. Couldn’t even hold down water. Checked and my son also has the same symptoms. Thank you for the food poisoning….

We always loved Carmela’s. Very disappointed last couple times. Yesterday did a take out order one item was an antipasto salad for $16. The salad didn’t even have $5 worth of meat. Only order in restaurant so you can send back.

Jessica Leigh and great pizza! This place smells sooooo good

Ever since I moved down from up north, I've been trying to find Ma and Pa small authentic Italian place like back home. (If you're from the NY/CT area you would know) it's hard to find good ol Italian food in Florida! When my husband and I moved from Jupiter to the Stuart area a few years ago, we discovered Carmella's! The brick oven pizza is phenomenal, especially their white pizza! I am also VERY VERY picky being Italian and having homemade Italian cooked meals and comparing it to there's I do have to say it's of great taste! Their sauce they use is very tasty, their selection of wines are great, and most d all the service it's great! We had Sara as a server and her personality, and service she gave us as a server was amazing! We always usually dine in, but the lazy nights we want to take out. We never had a problem with her take out and still got to enjoy the amazing food at home! I definitely recommend to try this place out with your family or even for a date night! Sitting at the bar is also a nice atmosphere to get a drink with your honey and some apps. You won't be disappointed, try Carmella's out /)
