Anyhow, as anyone from Boston/North Shore can attest, we are snobs on pizza, roast beef sandwiches and even Chinese food. Heck when I moved closer to Worcester I couldn't even find good Chinese nor roast beef.

So what I'm looking for is roast beef like Kelly's. Warm beef slices on a sesame or onion roll, American cheese, and bbq sauce.

Pizza, needs to be Italian style, not Greek. God I'd kill for a Santarpios pizza. But heck even Papa Ginos is acceptable.

Chinese, well if you are from the North Shore, you know Kowloon style. That's what I'd be looking for.

Please no haters. If you want to tell me to stay in Massachusetts, just move along. This is for fun and to hear what there is for fast casual stuff around the Villages.
No 1 Chinese in Traverse Plaza is very good, tried Roberto’s for pizza but wouldn’t go back. Any ethnic food is not going to compare to up north. Forget about bread- crusts don’t exist. We’re from Long Island and my husband went to school in Cambridge and lived in Boston for a few years. You won’t find pizza anywhere that is close to what you’d like. If you like Japanese, the restaurant next to the movie theater in Lake Sumter is good- tried both sushi and hibachi- can recommend both and happy hour has 2 for 1 domestic beer, wine but Japanese beer is not part of happy hour.
