Prima Pizza Cucina - New Smyrna Beach

New Symrna Beach has surprised me with so many amazing Restaurants. Prima is a perfect example of great food near Canal Street. Prima is a great example of a restaurant that has found an niche and does it well. Let's start with the Garlic Knots, if I'm being honest I usually never order Garlic Knots, not that I don't like then but because I normally don't find much of a difference between them from one place to another, but as I was reading other reviews there was a consensus that these where the best Garlic Knots east of the Mississippi. Hard to argue that point after trying them. The bread was hot soft and delicious and with the abundance of Freshly chopped Garlic and a gallon of butter, it is a much have. We also love a good Sangria and they have one at Prima that hit the spot. Then comes the pizza. We ordered three of there specialty pizzas. Pizza Verde, Honey Gorgonzola, and the and a new one to the menu, called something pig (sorry forgot the name). All three amazing and unique and I would highly recommend each one. By the way we ordered small pies and they came with 6 good size slices. I find that people can be very particular about Pizza, to much sauce or cheese or not enough. You can never have to much of a good thing. I found that they had a perfect balance of ingredients and the flavors worked together amazingly. By the way the winner for me was the Honey Gorgonzola. The desert where decent but when I come back I'm not saving room for desert and just going to stuff more pizza down my pie hole.

Very nice little spot. Only has 3 tables that seat 6-8 people and then there’s a small bar that seats probably another 8 or so. Friendly staff all around. Wife and I got the Magherita. It was good, but in my opinion could have used a bit more cheese. The garlic knots were very good, probably best garlic knots I’ve ever had. Would definitely go back and try some other pizzas

Husband and I tried the pizza here for the first time and it did not disappoint! If you are “One Bite” with Dave Portnoy fans as we are, I rated the margarita a 7.2 and my husband rated it an 8.3. The garlic knots were a solid five-star 9.2! Def get the garlic knots. The four star pizza rating is due to the pizza (Margarita) needing more cheese and having a blander than we’d prefer sauce, but that’s personal preference. We still highly recommend!

My wife and I visited the other day for lunch. We had the garlic knots to start, and were amazed at the flavor and light texture. They were quickly devoured. Our waitress brought us refills of our ice cold water and took our order. Hers being the spinach roll and mine was the baked sausage rigatoni. From the friendly staff to the knots, and on to the entree and the cannoli this was experience far exceeded anything we could have imagined.

Outstanding little restaurant. Stopped in on a whim and found a favorite. We will definitely return. Everything we had was fantastic!
