Score
Medium Risk

The health department has logged 14 inspections at The Original Goomba's Pizzeria, the earliest from 2022. The latest inspection on file is from Sep 30, 2025. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.

The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around five violations to closer to 12 violations.

“Time/temperature control for safety food cold held” comes up most often, recorded six times in the inspection record.

That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Clermont restaurant scores 68. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
