[Stu from NYC]

Sammy is from Brooklyn, and his pizza is the real thing. Would it win a Best Pizza in NYC award? No. Would it be considered decent average New York style pizza if you were in New York? Yes. Definitely. That makes it by far the best pizza in the area of The Villages. That’s the only place I’ll be buying pizza from now on. Also, on Thursdays a large cheese pizza is $10 instead of $13. Other toppings extra, of course. It’s a bit hard to spot the place on the west side of 301, as the little mall has lots of big trees in front. Pay attention and you’ll spot their green sign under the trees. (Do they sell by the slice? No, you can’t buy a slice. This isn’t NYC. Buy an entire pie and have the leftovers for breakfast, hot or cold.)

It is one of the best pizza places here, Francisco more or less across the street also makes a good one.
