About this shop

Lakeland’s square-cut original, on Edgewood Drive

Some cities do foldable slices. Lakeland does squares, at least it has at J. Burns’ since 1965. Our Edgewood Drive shop bakes the same pizza Polk County grew up on: a thin, crispy crust from a dough made specially for us, topped edge to edge and cut into squares, the style pizza people in other towns call tavern-style. Around here, it’s just J. Burns’.

This is a family pizza shop in every sense. We host spirit nights for Lakeland schools and churches, feed Little League teams after games, and know a lot of our regulars by their order. Dine in with the family, grab a quick fresh sub at lunch, or order online and your pizza is boxed and waiting when you pull up.

14-inch gluten-free rice flour crust pizza

Celiac-friendly every day

Real gluten-free pizza in Lakeland

Two gluten-free crusts, rice flour in 10″ and 14″, and cauliflower in 10″, prepared at a dedicated gluten-free station separate from the regular dough. That is what lets the Edgewood Drive shop serve guests with celiac disease, not just guests avoiding gluten by choice. Nearly any topping works, and just about anything else on the menu can be converted too.
