Coming from New York, where there is a pizza shop on every other street corner and we eat pizza with our hands, I have found Flippers to be the closest to a New York pizza.

Bravo's hands down

It depends on what you like, but I have found Flipper's to be the best. I tried Piesano's and was not impressed.

Another vote for Napolinos!! Very good!!

Agree

Have not been able to find decent pizza since moving here.

Thank you. How can anyone make that decision for you. You may think it's great and I make think not. Same is true the other way. Everyone's taste is different.

Yes people’s tastes are very different. Many like Piesanos pizza but I have never gotten a pizza there I have liked. They are too salty and the crust too cracker like.

Of the ones I have had, Piesanos. Actually the salads at Flippers are better than the pizza I have had there!

I agree with many of the suggestions. Would add Flippers. The crust is flavorful and ingredients are fresh and well blended.

Pizza
 

We’ve been here over 3 years and learned very early that there’s NO pizza here that compares to what we knew back in upstate NY. So I make my own, from scratch, including the dough which is the most important part. We enjoy it thick, light and crispy.

I agree, I posted on here about them a couple of years ago. When I posted that they only make one size, a 12" pizza the owner actually responded on here. They only have a small oven and they can't make anything larger. So unless things have changed, go if you only need a snack with your beer or order two if hungry. It's really a bar and the pizza and hot dogs help supplement the business. It's a nice little place that has atmosphere in downtown Leesburg, and it would be great now since they have outdoor seating.

Sam's Club has my favorite pizza. Does anyone know if Sam's Deli is open yet?

Sammy Joes. 301 next to Embellished

Yumm
 

Not exactly south - Legends and their wings are fantastic. You can get wings in many different forms. Look up their menu. If you just want pizza south of 466 try Piesanos. Other respondents agree that their pizza is really good. If you want pasta with meat sauce then Stavros - again not exactly south. And of course Chinese - Chengs on 466. A little hole in the wall but really good food.

You have too much time on your hands! :)

Why not. You have something better to do?

I hate to correct your first post, but you confused two different places into one, that might confuse others. Sammy's Italian Restaurant is on Hwy 301 in the fairly new shopping center across from Lucky U Cycles. I actually hated the way they put the toppings under the cheese and never went back after one pizza.

Sammy Joe's, my favorite pizza in all of TV, is in Mulberry Plaza in the north end of TV near the VA Medical Center.

Sure wish I could find a Papa Murphy's in TV.

Thanks for clearing that up. I'm sure there are people who have mixed up the two places. I happen to like both, as I do most of the pizza places in the area. I'm pretty easy to please, it's pizza, all good. If anything, some pizzas are too heavy on the garlic, oregano or salt for me. Sadly, I haven't had pizza in months - had to give up my favorite food group. LOL

I think I must be a pizza Philistine, because I have always enjoyed Pizza Hut!:shrug:

There is NO good pizza in Florida

Stavros on 441.

Haven't liked any of your answers? Here are a couple hundred more. Amazing what you can find with a search.

I've eaten there once, and forgot about it because we didn't go back. I liked the pizza, but tasted oh so very rich, like maybe they used a richer tasting Mozzarella Cheese. It does taste very good, I think I'm going to give it another try. In Fruitland Park, go 466A east to 441/27 turn south and it will be across the highway on your left in a short distance, can't miss it. It's got a quite local flair sort of like a northern restaurant.

I’ve passed that place a “million” times. I really have to try it.

😢
 

I feel pizza deprived.

:bigbow:****anos is the best by far. Just feel under the crust you will understand immediately. Enjoy

Alternative
 

Then I would suggest Gino's East in Chicago. Instead of south of 466 it's a little north of it. The best I've ever had and I'm from The Bronx. Heard they're opening a Gino's East in Atlanta. That would be a shorter drive.

Stavros
 

Been there many times. The last couple of times the pizza was just ok but the pasta with meat sauce was spectacular.

I looked into that and found this in the Villages News last August 2019;

A site plan and comprehensive plan amendment also was approved for a Stavros & Sons pizza restaurant planned on 1.2 acres on the north side of CR 462 at County Road 132. The restaurant chain started in Daytona Beach and now operates at more than a dozen locations, including Lake County.


That location is here at the top of the map:

I found this on the Starvos Facebook page, they mentioned a meeting with Wildwood Planning Committee 11 weeks ago. Said this might take a while since they are bulding form the ground upl.

Technically not south of 466 but on its north side, NYPD is by far the best pizza in TV. We live just north of 44 and have no problem traveling for their excellent food and friendly service.

Go have one of the recommended ones on this thread and if you do not think pizza hut is 5th rate guess I cannot help you

Of course not.

Good location! Can stop there after Sat 4 or 6 pm mass.

Best Pizza???
 

Different strokes for different folks.
This thread reminds me of one a couple of years ago asking where was the best Mexican food in the Villages.
Someone actually said “Taco Bell”!
