Pizza
 
Who has the best pizza South of 466 ????? P.S. And why.....

retiredguy123 05-10-2020 07:24 AM

Piesanos

Why? I guess because it tastes good.

Nucky 05-10-2020 07:50 AM

Gio's. Oxford. Route 301 near Wawa. It's My Choice. It's so good 2 slices and I'm done. Ok, maybe 3 or 4. :1rotfl:

Your taste???? Who knows. You may have to suffer as we all did. I've had pizza that was truly tasted like Cardboard with Catsup! It's fun to search around on your own. There is Good, Bad, and Fugly! :boxing2:

The only Pizza we ever had delivered was one with, sit down. PINEAPPLE. That is just not right!

retiredguy123 05-10-2020 07:55 AM

Gio's is good. But, just to be picky, it is north of Rt 466.

Bill32 05-10-2020 08:31 AM

Mallory Hill CC south of 466, NYPD north of 466....

I agree.


I do like Mallory too.............depends on what type of atmosphere you are looking for any given day/night.

Gio is short for Giovanni, so why don't you just go to his original location in the Southern Trace Shopping Center. They have great prices as well, lunch time spaghetti & meat sauce, salad and bread for $6.99. I've been eating there for 9 years and I don't how they do it. His brother Roberto at Pinellas Plaza charges almost twice the price. Technically it's also north of 466 or could say, it's on 466.

South of 466 you have Bravo Pizza at LSL, which a lot of people really like, it's mostly known for dinning in since it's harder to get to. You have the new place, Piesano's Stone Fired Pizza at Lake Deaton Plaza, I call it Rohan, that makes it easier to find. They are very good. You have Mallory Country Club, which is also brick oven, it's a little fancier since you're sitting in a country club restaurant with table cloths. You have Roberto's at Pinellas Plaza, which I mentioned earlier, I've it 3 times, twice good, once bad. You the normal places that deliver from Wildwood, Pizza Hut, Dominoe's, Papa John's and Hungry Howie, I would say Pizza Hut is the best of the bunch. You have a couple of Italian Restaurants that offer pizza, Ricciardi's at Brownwood which was good, but the last time I got one, they only had one size and it was $10, it wasn't enough to eat. What makes that odd is this is their only sit-down restaurant, in Orlando they are a chain of pizza places, so you would think they would specialize in pizza. Then there is Mezza Luna at Colony, I use to go when they opened 6 or 7 years ago, but it seemed to have gone down hill and now I never see any cars and wonder how they stay in business. There is Sammy's on 301 in the shopping center across from Lucky U Cycles. I had it once, one waitress and a dinning room full of people, it looked like a nice place, but understaffed. The pizza had the condiments under the cheese, I just didn't like it at all. I guess my choice would be Giovanni's at Southern Trace. If we weren't limited by location, I would go to Sammy Joe's at Mullberry Plaza at the north end of TV, I have their thin pizza probably 30 times even though I have to drive 12 miles to get there, but it's not the greatest dinning experience, the place is small, tables are small, TV's are impossible to see, but it's very good.

Piezannos in my book. Load it up (American veggie) and make it health food :coolsmiley:

Agree with most but would add Flippers.

Chefs of Napoli ( now called Napolino )
Pick it up after 6 o clock mass Saturday evening

You're right, how could I forget, been to the new one at Traverse about 30 times. I know because you get a free pizza after ten stamps, and I've had 3 free pizzas. The lunchtime mypie is a great deal, a good size individual pizza and drink for $6.99. However, when I got the free king size regular pizza, it was even better. So my choice, don't get the Mypie special, get a regular thin crust pizza, and the atmosphere is decent.

It's in the Traverse Shopping Center next to the new Brownwood Hotel. I'm going to have to pick this over Giovanni's because it's closer and never any wait.

A Mypie Pizza, good size, topping are a $1 each, $6.99 with a drink.

That’s a lot of pizza :)

retiredguy123 05-10-2020 10:25 AM

FYI, the largest pizza sold at Flippers is 16 inches. But, Piesano's has a 24 inch pizza. For those who like math, a 24 inch pizza is 452 square inches, but a 16 inch pizza is less than half of that at 201 square inches.

Wow your serious about pizza for sure. We are only for 3 months so lots of places to try.
Love Giovanni's for Italian but have not yet tried their pizza. Will do so for sure.

davem4616 05-10-2020 12:09 PM

We've tried many of the pizza joints in TV

they're okay, but haven't found one yet that is as tasty as the ones that we were able to pick up before we moved down here (isn't that the case for us all huh?)

if you wanna travel a bit, Francesco's out on 441/27 in Summerfield is perhaps the best we've had

But, for me....I think my Italian wife's home made pizza is actually the best south of 466....

sorry, we don't deliver and don't offer takeout....however:

it's easy, buy the fresh made pizza dough from the bakery counter at Publix...pick up a jar of pizza sauce in the aisle, and some shredded Italian cheese down in the cheese cooler

add whatever veggies and meat on top you like and pop it in the oven

mangia, mangia!

What is going on here? I purchased that bridge two weeks ago and the seller even gave me his certification that he owned the bridge.. As soon as we can safely travel will be going up there and putting up a toll gate.

A technicality. How do you really answer a question the OP asked? You gotta be willing to travel a little.

Gio's is so much better than the stuff we have endured it's worth breaking the boundaries a bit.

I didn't send them to Goombas in Claremont. That would be over the nit-picky technical boundaries of the pizza investigation. :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

If you met me you would know immediately I'm qualified to answer this question Me O Mio Paisano! :mademyday:

Mallory Hill Country Club, best taste and flavor

Sabella 05-11-2020 05:01 AM

Napolino has the best Italian food , pizza and the best Italian bread. Route 301, service is excellent.

Cblanchette1116 05-11-2020 05:17 AM

We are new villagers from Massachusetts.. been here 4 months. Love a lot of things about TV, but food has not been one of them. We like thin crust pizza with more sauce than cheese. Haven't found pizza any place that compares to back home... so we have resorted to homemade. The other disappointment has been fresh fish. We love making our own fish dishes, but the availability of fresh fish, like haddock is ridiculous, and if you can find it, ridiculously priced. Seriously... $19.99 lb for haddock??

DannoMac 05-11-2020 05:38 AM

I ordered a to go pizza at Bravos yesterday and it was delicious. I was disappointed that none of the six workers were wearing masks. Thought that was a requirement.

Try Sams for fish, not sure about Haddock but Salmon and Cod well priced

Chatbrat 05-11-2020 05:55 AM

Been here 10 years there is no such thing as really good Italian, or other ethnic food here--its mediocre @ best--gotta have a good coal fired pizza over for outstanding pizza--two best pizza's ever--Tortono's Brookyn, NY and Bella Mia (has closed after it was sold) Cary, NC--Anthony the owner of Bella Mia has th best pizza now in Raleigh

dewilson58 05-11-2020 05:59 AM

& there we have it.

Yep, Francescos and Little Joeys a few doors down. Excellent

Lizziemay 05-11-2020 06:21 AM

No one ! Best pizza is Belleville Pizza in Belleville !

Rzepecki 05-11-2020 06:23 AM

NYPD in front of Wal-Mart on 466. I agree with most other recommendations except Gio and Giovanni; to us, their pizza is bland.

Lizziemay 05-11-2020 06:27 AM

You should try Bellveiw Pizza , excellent !

bjd0105 05-11-2020 06:43 AM

NYPD on 466 is the closest pizza to back home in Jersey. The staff and owner are great as well. The owner actually gave his works a raise when they went to delivery and take out only. To off set for less tips due to the dining room being closed. Support local businesses.

If you like Chicago thin crust the absolute best tasting pizza is at Chicago Fire in Leesburg.
