The University Boulevard pizza shop stays open until midnight Sunday through Thursday and 2:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, with slices big enough to need both hands, craft beer and scratch cocktails.
Quick Facts
- Where: 11551 University Blvd., Orlando, in the UCF area
- Open late: Until midnight Sunday to Thursday and 2:30 a.m. Friday and Saturday
- Cost: Most specialty slices $9.50–$12, scratch cocktails $8, or a cheese slice and a pint of PBR for $7
Why the slice is the point
Whole pies come in 20- and 30-inch sizes, and a single slice is a two-handed job. The dough starts from a house starter that dates to 2004 and ferments for 72 hours before it’s baked into a thin, crisp crust. The sauces are made in-house, and the tomato sauce uses Stanislaus tomatoes.
You can build your own slice on the cheese base, with toppings from 89 cents to $3 each, or order one of the house specialties.
What to order after 11
- Cuban Slice ($10.25): mustard sauce, ham, mojo pork and dill pickles
- The Buff ($10.75): buffalo chicken, blue cheese crumbles and baked ranch
- Birria Beef Calzone ($11.50): slow-simmered pulled beef with feta and pickled red onions, served with birria dipping jus
- Cheesy Bread ($7.75): garlic and mozzarella with a dipping side
- Boxcar Willy ($7): a cheese slice and a pint of PBR, the cheapest late-night combo on the board
Vegans aren’t stuck with a side salad. The Treehugger slice comes with two vegan toppings and Violife vegan cheese, and vegan chicken strips are on the topping list.
At the bar
The beer list covers craft and big-name brands, and the cocktails use in-house mixes and fresh-squeezed juices. Picks include a Lazy Mule, a Bee’s Knees with gin and honey and an El Diablo Rojo made with Old Forester bourbon and Malbec. Each one is $8 on the posted menu.
More late-night picks on the east side: Sus Hi Eatstation in Lake Nona serves sushi burritos until 2 a.m. Thursday through Sunday.
Why We’re Hyped
Near campus, late-night food often means a drive-thru. Lazy Moon gives you a sit-down slice, a real cocktail and a 2:30 a.m. weekend close in one stop, and an $8 cocktail with a $10 slice still comes in under $20.
