A shot of Santoro's Pizza in Tampa. The building is a mix of green, white, and red — the colors of the Italian flag. There are some benches outside, and a parking lot out front, with blue skies up ahead.

Sometimes nothing hits like a late-night slice of pizza. Bookmark these sizzlin’ Tampa Bay pizzerias for when you need it:

Due Amici Pizza & Pasta

You can clamber right up to the Ybor City eatery’s glass case for a piping hot slice of stuffed or otherwise topped pizza until the wee hour of 3 a.m.

Santoro’s

Barstool Sports Founder Dave Portnoy rated this North Hyde Park’s ‘za a 7.8. But we really love them for their lunch deal: one plain slice, one specialty slice, and a fountain drink for $7.

Joey Brooklyn’s

Editor Bailey’s late-night slice spot is parked steps away from Jannus Live in downtown St. Pete, for that easy post-concert access. The pieces are massive, and you can choose from plentiful toppings.

Toby’s Original Little Italy Pizza

Trust us, the strip mall exterior belies the colorful, bustling St. Pete pizza joint within, complete with old school games and red booths. Get a slice of classic cheese pizza for under $5, plus some of their standout garlic knots for the road.
