Partner and co-founder, Chef Matthew Kenney, is opening his first fast casual, plant based, mission focused restaurant in Windermere, Florida. His brand new, corner location in Horizon West brings a fresh new perspective to plant based cuisine. I had the opportunity to attend the Family and Friends soft opening and it was an exciting event to happen in Horizon West. Upon entering the cozy restaurant, the Humbl logo headlines the wall to the right above the open kitchen. The adjoining wall above the condiment station are the menu items listed on the diagonal on a black wall in a unique font in white with occasional pops of orange. The same color scheme can be seen throughout the restaurant. Big screen televisions list the menu as well as a separate big screen tv displaying a video collage of Chef Kenney cooking and photo with his partners explaining the concept behind the restaurant. Every meal purchased goes toward a meal for a child in need. The merchandise sold are made by survivors of human trafficking. Below the tv is a four seat counter area that leads to the ordering area. Employees are there to greet you, take your order, and explain the menu. This took some time for my family as we had a few food allergies which they gladly accommodated. They use peanut oil for the fryer and grill but not for the pizza. To the left of the restaurant are options for table or bar seating. We ordered the Humbl bowl: tender brown rice with coriander yogurt, tandoori cauliflower, smashed pistachio, tumeric tahini, and cilantro; Meat Lover Pizza: bacon, fennel farro sausage, cauliflower, marinara, macadamia ricotta cheese, cashew mozzarella cheese; Truffle Toast: truffle butter, crimini confit, agave-ginger tomato jam, sourdough toast; Humbl burger: 17 ingredient patty, cashew cheddar, pickles, Humbl sauce, lettuce, tomato (not pictured as my hubby devoured it and couldn't tell it wasn't meat); Cheese Fries: cashew cheddar over hand-cut fries; Sweet Potato Fries; Brookie, and Cookies and Cream Cupcake. The flavors highlight the star of the food: the vegetables! The food elevates the senses and enhances the palate. You can taste the love and care that went into preparing each entree. Chef Kenney was also in attendance and being star struck as well as a fan of his talent, he was so sweet toward me and Humbl.

I visited Sildders Pizza recently with my family. Slidders is primarily a carry-out or delivery pizzeria. They do have about 5 or 6 bar stools at a counter inside the restaurant that one could sit at to eat. We ordered an XL pizza and it was large. It is basically a New York style pizza, large pie and thinner crust. The crust was good and cooked well. The toppings were not skimpy. There was plenty of cheese and toppings. The service was friendly. We were greeted warmly when we entered the pizzeria. The pizza was ready promptly. Slidders is definitely a higher quality pizza than the national chain pizzerias. The prices are appropriate for the quality and quantity. It was a good experience.

Michael's Ali Coal Fired Pizza

Reviewed By beaadventurouslife

I really wanted to like this pizza because it's beautifully coal fired and the people are so nice. But the sauce is not my favorite. It's oddly sweet but zesty at the same time and I wasn't a fan. The crust was great though, the perfect texture and yummy to boot! I would go back again and maybe be more adventurous by getting a different sauce!

I love this place. It tastes how Italian should be. It tastes like how it did where I group up. It's like grandma is back there cooking. Everything is SO fresh. It has so much flavor. It is just scrumptious. It has a classy joint feel but almost quick service style. You get your own soft drinks. The staff brings your food to you recognized by the number on your table. Everyone checks on your to make sure you're doing well. This is one of our favorite spots. It is hard to go elsewhere for Italian.

Wanted to find a new place to eat, tired of the same ol' same ol' food! When we arrived; first impression is that it's "too fancy" to be coming in from work, and wearing shorts. But when we were seated, we were welcomed with open arms. The indoor area (they have seating outside if you wish) is decorated very nice, and it's quite charming. The food smells great; and it tastes even better. Our waitress was from Venezuela; and could not have been nicer. She kept checking on us; and made sure we had plenty of warm bread with warm pesto butter with our meal. The meal was fantastic. Best "Italian' food I've had in years.

I feel bad giving y’all a poor because the pizza was great! But I just left after a horrible experience. Asked waitress what she reccomends... turkey pesto sandwich or chicken pesto pizza. She said pizza. I said great and ordered water. That was about 11:43am (I texted my mom after I ordered that is how I know time). Other folks came in ordered and got pizzas and I’m still waiting for my small simple ingredient pizza. She came over after 30 or so min saying I’m so sorry you haven’t gotten your pizza I’m working on it. 40 min later the seater could tell I was annoyed as I was in front booth. He apologized and went to kitchen then came back saying the waitress was busy and overwhelmed today. I’m sorry that’s not a excuse. So many co workers and friends give this place rave reviews. My first experience was horrible!! After 50min I finally got my pizza and engaged it and of course was impatient and burn the top of my mouth. So annoyed on this Saturday! Also had some fruits and veggies from the farmers market and just had them sitting in my bag. If I had known go long I have to wait for a small pizza I would have ordered a sandwich or not even walked In!!
