About This Place

Nestled within the bustling St. Augustine Outlet Mall, Rufino's Pizza serves up an authentic slice of New York right here in Florida. Specializing in genuine NY-style thin crust pizzas, this pizza restaurant is a haven for pizza lovers craving that perfect balance of crisp, flavorful crust paired with just the right amount of tangy red sauce and melty mozzarella cheese.

The menu shines with crowd favorites like the Pizza Margherita, a simple yet elegant pie bursting with fresh, vibrant tomato flavors and aromatic basil. For those who want to indulge, the 16” or 18” Pepperoni pizzas stand out with generous layers of perfectly cooked pepperoni that curl up at the edges, releasing a smoky richness with every bite.

Beyond the classic pies, Rufino’s offers delightful unique options such as the creamy White Spinach Pizza and the hearty Sicilian Pizza, each crafted with fresh ingredients daily. Their homemade Garlic Knots, served warm with a tangy marinara dipping sauce, provide the perfect garlicky companion to any meal — whether you grab a smaller trio portion or a full half-dozen to savor with friends or family. For lighter fare, the crisp Garden and Antipasto salads bring a refreshing burst of color and crunch, dressed in choices of blue cheese, ranch, or classic Italian dressing.

    Amazing NY‑style pizza in a food court! Crisp, flavorful slices with just the right amount of cheese and sauce. Plus, they offer a great combo deal—pizza slice with a drink—for about $6–$7. Friendly staff and lightning-fast service. A must‑try if you’re shopping at the outlets!

    This place is such a hidden gem, hands down the best and most authentic NY style pizza in FL. The location is weird for the quality I’ll admit, but don’t sleep on this place! Dave from one bite pizza reviews would love this place, but I don’t want to deal with a line!

    This is in the food court for the outlet mall, BUT don't let that fool you. The NY style pizza is phenomenal. With all of the other food vendors vacant, there ends up being a ton of seats and it's a nice quiet spot. The staff was very attentive and efficient. Ordered some individual slices and a whole pie to go. Slices were done almost immediately after sitting down, and then the pie took only 15 minutes.

    Location in shopping center food court is deceptive! Genuine NY (Brooklyn stlye) pizzas plus sides. Recommend take out, dining area is not ideal.

    I was at the outlet mall last month and stopped in at the food court for a quick bite to eat. I ordered a slice of Grandma's Pizza and was blown away. We decided to order an entire pie for lunch today and it was just as amazing. We went with a half and half, (half cheese and the other half with with jalapenos and pepperoni). I can honestly say this is the best Grandma Pizza that I've had in St. Augustine. The garlicky sauce is rich with chunks of tomatoes and the crust is light and crispy. They use a quality cheese here and aren't skimpy with the toppings. I placed my order at the counter and it was a good wait as they were busy, (will probably call my order in next time). It's also somewhat of a pain dealing with the mall traffic but totally worth it.
