“ Hot DAMN was this the BEST cheesesteak we’ve EVER had! So glad we tried it while in town as we tried last year and was a very long wait, it’s very worth the wait!!! *chefs kiss* ”
“ 10/10 pizza spot! Really good, definitely will be coming back here! Didn’t have a chance to try to the cheesesteak but will be ordering next time as we’ve only heard amazing reviews about it. Friendly staff and you won’t leave disappointed! ”
“ We ordered a 10” classic pizza and a cheesesteak with onions and we really enjoyed both. The pizza was made very well and I actually really liked all the sesame seeds on the cheesesteak bun. The only thing was that the wait was pretty long, but in my opinion it was worth it ”
“ This place makes genuine Philly Cheese Steaks. All rolls are made on premises, and just the right amount of chewy. Sharp provolone and mushrooms was fabulous. Also they make solid Pizza!! Don’t miss out!! ”
“ Violet Stone is probably top 3 sandwiches I've ever had, and best cheesesteak hands down. Also, their pie....let me just say, Tampa Bay pizza joints have a lot to live up to. My kind of char on the crust, cheese and sauce were spectacular. Could have used just a small amount more of sauce, but it was great regardless. Don't let location fool you...but they are moving so... ”
“ Absolutely amazing pizza for Old World Neapolitan Pizza! The sauce, the cheese, & the crust are all top-shelf! The cupped pepperoni is better than the others; it is premium! The edge crust is charred for a flavor blast; the bottom crust is nicely browned to perfection, & to make it somewhat rigid enough to hold the slice in your hand. Yet the pizza crust is somewhat chewy! It is amazing in every regard! The cheese-steak is the best I've had in our Tampa Bay area! - highly recommend if you are a fan of cheesesteaks. - a tasty appetizer to your pizza. The staff are polite & friendly! Although primarily a takeout restaurant now...They will be moving to a new location in the Spring/early Summer 2025 for indoor air-conditioned dining, with beer & wine. Must try for any Pizza & Cheesesteak fans. ”
“ This place is as real as it gets in St. Pete! We drove from Winter Haven (hour and a half) to try Violet Stone & it was so so worth it! The pizza was well done to perfection with a crispy crust. Fresh basil. Crispy pepperonis. We got the cheesesteak with Cooper Sharp American cheese & caramelized onions. 10/10. *chefs kiss* I need 10 more of them! The portions are large & can be shared. This is a must try place! I will absolutely be going back. ”
“ What a great little spot! Had a beach day while visiting my niece's family and stopped for pizza. I got the white pizza with picked onions and it was so flavourful. Loved the whipped ricotta on top. No mystery as to why they always make a point to stop when in the area. High quality. ”
