Whether you want a wood-fired pie downtown, a classic neighborhood pizza shop or pizza and cocktails for a night out, Mount Dora has several very different places to choose from.
This guide focuses on Mount Dora pizza restaurants first, with a few nearby Eustis favorites at the bottom for the nights when you're willing to drive a little farther.
Restaurant hours, menus and specials can change. Check directly with the restaurant before making a special trip.
Quick Pizza Picks
Wood-Fired Pizza
Neapolitan-style pizza cooked in a wood-fired oven downtown.
Shadrach's Fiery Furnace →Pizza & Cocktails
Creative pizzas and cocktails in a downtown open-air setting.
Back Porch Pizza Bar →Classic Pizza & Subs
Pizza, subs, calzones and traditional Italian dishes.
Mount Dora Pizza & Subs →Specialty Pizzas
A large pizza menu with plenty of combinations and dietary options.
Mellow Mushroom →Pizza + Italian Dinner
Pizza along with pasta and a larger traditional Italian menu.
Vincent's Italian Restaurant →Pizza in Mount Dora
Shadrach's Fiery Furnace Pizza Co.
Shadrach's serves Neapolitan-style wood-fired pizza from its location on North Donnelly Street in Downtown Mount Dora.
This is where I'd start if what you really want is that blistered, wood-fired style of crust rather than a traditional American pizza-shop pie.

Back Porch Pizza Bar
Back Porch Pizza Bar is on West Fourth Avenue in Downtown Mount Dora and combines creative pizzas with cocktails in an open-air setting.
It makes sense when pizza is part of the night rather than the entire plan, especially if you want to stay downtown afterward.

PizzAmoré
PizzAmoré is at 722 E. Fifth Avenue, just outside the busiest downtown blocks. The menu includes pizza along with pasta, subs, wings and other Italian favorites.
It is a good choice for a relaxed sit-down pizza night without needing to park right in the middle of downtown.

Mount Dora Pizza & Subs
Mount Dora Pizza & Subs is at 2718 W. Old US 441 and serves pizza, subs, calzones and Italian dishes in a traditional neighborhood pizza-shop setting.
This is one to keep in mind when you want classic pizza and the rest of the table wants subs or Italian food too.

Mellow Mushroom
Mellow Mushroom is on US-441 and offers a broad selection of specialty pizzas, calzones, salads and appetizers.
It is particularly useful when everyone wants something different or someone in the group needs gluten-free or vegan-friendly options.

Vincent's Italian Restaurant
Vincent's combines pizza with a larger Italian dinner menu, so it works well when not everyone at the table is in the mood for pizza.
Think of this more as an Italian restaurant that also does pizza rather than a dedicated pizza shop.
Explore Vincent's →Worth the Short Drive to Eustis
Mount Dora has enough pizza choices to stay close to home, but Eustis adds several longstanding local options that are worth knowing about.
Which One Should You Pick?
It really depends on the kind of pizza night you're planning. Shadrach's is the place to compare if you're specifically after wood-fired pizza. Back Porch works well for pizza and drinks downtown. PizzAmoré is an easy sit-down option away from the busiest downtown blocks, while Mount Dora Pizza & Subs is more of a classic neighborhood pizza-shop experience.
Mellow Mushroom offers the broadest specialty-pizza selection, and Vincent's makes sense if your group wants a full Italian dinner rather than pizza alone.
