Without question, the best pizza I’ve had anywhere in the world. The salads are fantastic and the stuffed peppadews were sensational! Bruschetta is also excellent. The “ZA” pizza is addictive. Just tried Neapolitan Tartufo for dessert: shades of a week in Rome many years ago: I’m still dreaming of it! We always feel welcome and valued as staff is professional but warm and friendly! Love love love this treasure!

About the restaurant

Local watering hole, go-to happy hour spot or a hangout for your pals - let's just call it your new favorite gathering spot. The Tavern is anything but a typical resort destination. Inside you'll find fellow phoenicians knocking back local craft beers, celebrating with cocktails after their round of golf, or enjoying polished pub grub with the fam. Enjoy a lively atmosphere for lunch, dinner, and happy hour on the indoor-outdoor bar patio, take in stunning views of the newly designed lush green golf course, or hunker down in one of the comfy booths to watch the big game with buddies. Leave the day (and necktie) behind and just take it easy at The Phoenician Tavern.

We enjoyed our great service. The Malantis salad easily fed 4 of us with leftovers. Our friends had never had this style pizza before so we ordered one deep dish and one thin. Split decision but everyone enjoyed the evening.

Went for Thanksgiving dinner. Thought the price of $80/pp for three courses was a lot. The dinner was good, especially the butternut squash soup. Turkey, mashed potatoes, and cranberry were good, the stuffing...not so much.

If you want a great thin crust pizza, this place does it right. It’s been our go-to-place for pizza. Although they only have 4 kinds(traditional, bbq chicken, etc)the crust is fantastic, even the cauliflower crust is outstanding. The size is enough for two. If pizza isn’t your thing plenty of other great items. This is a sports bar so plenty of tv’s and show many of the local teams.

The pizza was phenomenal. Service and staff were wonderful and welcoming. The drinks were too notch, and the ambiance felt like a small restaurant feel with big city value. The Caesar wrap was one of our favorite things. Would definitely dine here again!
