Nuns at my grammar school sold it (only it) once every two weeks or so. It was great stuff.

I miss Caserta's SOOOOO MUCH! They said they could ship it down here, but, it's not the same.

Those were the days....
For 10 cents I'd get
1. A grape Nehi
2. A Waleco coconut candy bar
3. A small bad of potato chips

Sammy Jo's, in Mulberry, near the Publix has great pizza. We've never been disappointed. 352-633-1949

Where i came from didnt go to a “country club” or EyeTalian restaurant for pizza...you went to a pizzeria...and Dominos and Pizza Hut are not pizzerias.

Shame 90% of Villages never had a good authentic pizza in their lives.

Second Big Bob's in Okalawaha……..

Being from NJ, I have not found anything close to "back home" pizza here or near The Villages. Been searching for over four years now. Closest I have found is Bravo's in Sumter Landing! Thin crust...well done, Please!

JSR22 12-12-2018 01:57 PM

Bravos

I am from NJ. Bravos is pretty good especially when you add salt and oregano. Close to what I use to eat in NJ.

That is the way it is customarily done for a Chicago style pizza.

If you know the place, let me know.

Yes, Yes, Yes, Maruca's also. AND Macks of the boardwalk. And furthermore, before closing, The Corner Inn on Center Street was the best ever. The recipe from there moved to The Shady Rest Bar on Route 9 in Bayville, NJ. The greatest ever.

Well, we've been fortunate to have the only real, authentic, pizza on the planet...in Italy. Anything else pales in comparison. A real pizza made with double zero Italian flour, streched thin and topped with a little Extra Virgin olive oil, fresh San Marzano tomato sauce, a few dollops of fresh mozzarella ( not a whole bag of Sargento's), some porcini mushrooms and Prosciutto de Parma. Heaven On Earth.

Stavros Pizza in Leesburg is the absolute very very best pizza around For a quickie Sams Club is good also

Bill32 02-04-2019 02:17 PM

Actually microwave can be dangerous and RISKY. If, the instructions do not give microwave instructions and since companies know most people have and used microwaves for quick cooking there probably is a reason.

Soups, you open a can of soup, nuke it for 2-3 min and it is done. I've never done it but I heard people CLAIM they cook it in the can. THAT IS NUTS. The coating of the can is not designed to be heated and the can is not designed to take the added pressure. The reason opening the can and heating the soup in say a bowl is the fact that since with microwaves it cooks from the inside, beans will often explode.

Oh to avoid my mistake. Chestnuts do not have instructions on them demanded by their legal staff. I cut an X into the shells to vent and to make it easier to remove the shells. One nut which I did cut an X into EXPLODED similar to a monster popcorn. The noise which remember was reduced by the door was like a small firecracker. The good news the door did not blow open. I think there is a safety lock on the door preventing it from opening while the microwave is producing microwaves which, can and would cook you.

Shhhh! The poor misguided northern transplants think there is a difference. Most of the major chains I've ordered their pizza's for dine in and an additional one's to take home and guess what? They taste the same. :1rotfl:

When we first moved here we ordered from Flippers a lot. They changed their vendors and the pizza completely changed. Never ordered again.

I like Little Joeys, Bravos, Chefs of Napoli, and Sammys on 301 as well.
Favorite delivery is Jets Pizza in Michigan. Go there every time I am back north. Sure wish they had one down here.

worked in grocery store for 60 cents hour as freshman in high school and was glad to get it. I probably could of picked up pop bottles and made more money

Piazza around here? Pretty sad when I wish there was little ceasers close

Henryk 02-06-2019 03:23 PM

I do like Bravo, but I’ve got a hankerin’ For Papa Gino’s sausage and mushroom.

lobster610 02-06-2019 03:55 PM

I agree with Mallory

bob&Gail 02-06-2019 07:36 PM

Pizza
 
We just go to Little Ceasers on 466a and hwy 35 near 441

Aloha1 02-07-2019 04:58 PM

The BEST pizza is in Italy! Especially Da Maria in Amalfi or almost anything in Napoli. So sad most Americans, even those with Italian heritage, have no clue what REAL pizza is. Ducking now to avoid the arrows :D

To me, there is a BIG DIFFERENCE between a fresh pizza eaten at the restaurant vs the same one sitting in a box for 15 minutes. If you like steamed pizza, go the take-out route.

Absolutely correct. Some pizzas do better than others in the box but they all suffer from the experience. Giovanni’s pizza for one is ok in the restaurant but acquires a cardboard taste from transport home. Bravo’s does better in the box but still not the same as eating it fresh from the oven.

:agree:

On our multi-day, leisurely, coastal drive from Portovenere down to Rome, we kept seeming to find one family pizza place...that was even better than the last. :cool:

Yep that’s definitely Aurelio’s my fav
