Have you tried NYPD Pizza?

Pizza is a very subjective product, and individual tastes vary greatly. While some ingredients taste the same on every pizza, items like crust, sauce, and sausage can make pizzas taste and feel incredibly different. Personally I think Mallory's has the best pizza inside TV (not thin crust however). Outside we like Stavros and Bellview Pizza. Also like Bravos. All four places have distinctly different pizzas. So there ya go...

I have had several Piesano's take out pizzas and they are hit and miss. Some were good, and some had hardly any cheese on them. They also didn't put the toppings on near the crust. They were about 2" from the edge of the crust, which also had big bubbles on it. For the price I would much rather go to Giovanni's where you get a large (16") pizza with toppings, plenty of cheese and good crust for under $16.

Napolino’s on 301 is fabulous, surprised it wasn’t mentioned.

My favorite is Ledo's Pizza. Opened in College Park, MD (now they have it in VA, N&S Carolina and Fl). It was hands down the best pizza anywhere! The closest one is north Tampa. I'm going to have a pizza there and bring another one home for the freezer.

In TV I like Bravo’s, it is truly a thin crust pizza but on the expensive side. A few minutes outside TV, I like Little Joe’s on 441/27

You want good pizza? Go to Chicago!!! The is a place in Leesburg, however, called Great Chicago Fire Brewery & Tap Room. They have a good pie and Chicago style hot dogs. The owner is from Kankakee. All the fixins, except for the produce, come from Chicago. To me, the next best is Flippers.

Flippers in Traverse as said above - crispy thin crust with lots of topping. Piesano's was terrible - soggy and skimpy toppings.

Pizza is like Chinese food. Whatever was the style in your home town or home state is what you consider good. Everything else is terrible. They are also the same in that neither one is authentic. Pizza in the US is nothing like Pizza in Naples where it was invented. Most Americans would balk at true Italian pizza. Same for Chinese food. It's nothing like what is served in China.

Recently, I saw a documentary about pizza in the US. It was about two pizza chains that started in mid-west. One was Pizza Hut. They were hugely successful when expanding throughout the mid west, but when they opened stores in the northeast, they failed miserably.

Most Italians who emigrated to this country settled in the northeast. So when this different type of pizza came to them, they rejected it. American style pizza had been around New England, New York and New Jersey for decades, so this new mid western style was not what people were used to. Pizza Hut added a thinner crust to their menu and it helped, but where I came from it still wasn't very popular.

Then there is Greek or cafe style pizza. I lived in an area where there were two restaurants that served this style and local people raved about them. I never understood it, but they were very popular locally.

Having said all this, it's very rare that I complain about pizza or Chinese food. Even the worst of it is pretty good.

Sorry but if you are in Lake Mary, 1000 Degrees Pizza is perfect. I went there after reading about Nothing Bundt Cake, Bakery.
