Pizza lovers
 

We were at a friend's house last night and they ordered Pizza from Little Joey's at 16840 US-441 #401, Summerfield, FL 34491. If you live in the Spanish Springs area, it's close, but for others, it is a haul. Their menu looks good.

Anyway, we were very delighted to find another good Italian restaurant We have been going to Piezano's or Roberto's, and now there's another one to try.

When we get carry out pizza, we asked for it to be partially cooked and uncut. When we get it home, we put it in the oven at 400 for 8-10 minutes. No more cold pizzas.

We ask for it (just a regular cheese pie) to be uncooked. Some will some will not.

Some restaurants are afraid you will sue them for food poisoning if you eat an uncooked pizza. But, Walmart and Publix both sell uncooked pizzas.

If we wanted them with meat would understand but a simple pizza with sauce and cheese do not see the point.

Sams and Aldi will sell uncooked.

The pizza maker at Bravo said it was due to the mozzerela used by pizza places as compared to what supermarkets used but no idea if that is correct.

Try Francesco's for decent Italian food---same plaza (Baylee), just about 7 or 8 stores north

It may be the difference between a restaurant and a grocery store. Grocery stores sell lots of uncooked food, but restaurants are only supposed to sell cooked food.

We did. For the first time and we got take out Chicken Piccata. It was really good.

Thanks for the tip.

I think the owner's name is Franco. He is about 5 feet tall and he is almost always there running around carrying food. I think that is why it is a good restaurant. FYI, his wife is about 12 inches taller than him.

If you want to try really great pizza go to NYPD Pizza on 466 near Walmart. I'm a New Yorker and I have found this to be the best authentic style pizza around. Try their Staten Island double-stuffed pizza. You won't be sorry.

Why dont you just make your own? Publix sells pizza dough

You can buy pizza dough at Publix in a ball or flatten in a circle.
Making a pizza is not rocket science.
By the time you phone and wait for the pie to be delivered, you'll be on your third slice.

We have tried and just never comes out as good as we hoped for.

Had pizza one time at Little Joey’s. To say it was awful is an understatement! Never again

Napolino's on 301 near route 462 has great pizza. their pastas are very good as well.

We haven’t been to this place since it was Chefs of Napoli. Do you know if it’s same owners and menu?

As I remember from Chefs, their pizza had a decent flavor near the crust, but the rest was a soggy, limp, grease shingle.

Absolutely agree about Francesco's. My mother lives in Summerfield and we go there regularly. Two-for-one drinks everyday is another plus.:beer3:

Love Little Joeys pizza. But it's a long ride from the village of Charlotte. My wife will still send me there occasionally.

Guess haven’t been to Murphy’s pizza? All there pizza’s are half cooked and you finish baking it at home.

Exactly. It's never as good.

7 1/2 Pound 14" Deep Dish Chicago Style:bigbow:

I'll keep that in mind if I want to eat quiche. Personally, I prefer pizza, the kind you can only get in NY, the way God intended pizza to be made:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Little Joey's is great but I also like the take out and cook yourself pizza from Sam's Club.

"Authentic style" New York pizza isn't double-stuffed. Ever.

We had someone bring in NYPD pizza when I was working here last year. It was acceptable. It wasn't "good." Giovanni's at Wedgewood (Southern Trace area) was pretty close though. I'd rate it "good" where "good" is less than "excellent" or "perfect" and better than "decent," "tolerable," "acceptable," "worse than Little Caesar's"

If you don't have an actual pizza oven that it typically at 700-800° and use filtered, remineralized water, it won't ever come out as good.

Little Joey’s is a very good dine-in restaurant as well. Lots of loyal regular diners, very crowded on Friday and Saturday nights. Lots of people order their pizza as a dine-in choice.

Our pizza stone does a good job to reheat pizza and does an ok job for raw pizza from Aldi or Sams (both second or third rate), however for a from scratch pie just not the same.

We've been going to Little Joey's for many years
 

Pepe's pizza and Sally's in New Haven CT the best! Jerry's Apizza in Bridgeport was so long ago & greatly missed!

Winn-Dixie at Pinellas has genuine double zero Imported Italian flour. The ONLY flour to make pizza.

I do not know if the owners are the same or new. The pizza crust was crisp all the way through. Not too greasy. Worth another try.

We order takeout pizzas from Giovanni's on 466, heat it at 400 degrees for 8 - 10 minutes. Crispy and delicious.

YES you are correct recently I had 3 pizzas in 3 weeks in Rhode Island, NY and Ct much better than anything in The Villages. It must come down to the water possible ingredients all 3 were family-owned and operated for over 20+ years. Piesanos for comparison is the closest I have found.

Well, for me, pizza pretty bad when wish Caesar’s close. Use buy the 5 dollar pepperoni take it home and add lots of topping.
