Love the Y'All water tower - very distinctive.

I like the Y'ALL water tower, too. We always use to stop at that exit, for lunch, coming and going from Tennessee and Indiana.

Sounds great! Do you take orders?:D

M-m-m-m! Jersey Tomatoes!:D

If you are willing to take a drive for your pizza dinner there is a place in Belleview (West 5 miles on 441) that makes it worth the trip. Belleview Pizza makes your pizza fresh and delicious and hot! If you are one who enjoys trying something new, then try the white chicken pizza. I have always been a traditionalist when it comes to pizza but this was one exception that was worth it. :eclipsee_gold_cup:

They are very busy, so if you don't like waiting, then Belleview Pizza is not your place and you must pay $ only for your dinner, but the prices are very reasonable. You will not be disappointed (well most won't) if you try their pizza. :pepper2:

Where is Little Joey's?

Little Joeys is off 441 in Baylee's plaza. North on 441. Actually Summerfied but what I still think of as outside the Villages.

What time is dinner? :)

Seriously, I had the orginal owners deep dish pizza in Chicago many years ago. It was as thick as a slice of apple pie. It was the best pizza I ever ate.

Does anybody know the originator's name of the deep dish pizza? Mama something?

I love all pizza but unfortunately, my taste buds are not very dicriminate so the guy down from whatever street I live in is good enough for me. :)

We need a good NY pizza. Chicago makes a pizza casserole not a pizza pie. They have there place i guess, but I would not put Chicago and pizza in the some sentence without smiling.

Thanks. It was nice of you to take the time to look this question up! :)

MEMORIES: We grew up on "Toni and Ann's" Pizza. It was a little tiny pizza place owned by Tony and Ann in Chelmsford, MA.. They would close and go South for the Winter and people would flock to by frozen pizza's and freeze them. We couldn't wait until Tony got back in the Spring to reopen. It's been closed for years now but the children decide to open up again , this time in Dracut, MA. The place was a gold mine.

Here is the link http://dinerhotline.wordpress.com/20...7-year-hiatus/

We would go to Tony' after dancing at the "Commodore" Ballroom on Saturday nights :-)........The good old days.

Everyone seems to think where they come from has the best pizza. I can't tell you how many times I've visited NY and at the best had only a mediocre pizza. I grew up in Miami and judge pizzas from what I remember in the 50's.
It's what you are used to. Same goes for NY bagels. My first 10 years were in Pittsburgh and swear the hot dogs there were better than anywhere else in the world. I'm sure that there would be those that disagree.
You pay your money and take your choice.

Who has the best pizza? It's a question that's probably on equal footing with the age old questions of what came first, the horse or the carrage, or the chicken or the egg! So I have to say that the question is purely relative.

As for me, I feel that I'm currently lucky because in the small upstate NY village I live in I have a choice of six - yes - that six different places I can get pizza and all of them deliver to my home. They are all unique, with different charactistics, sizes and shapes, and not a one that's part of a chain like Pizza Hut, Dominos or Papa John. Also, there's not a one of them that I don't like.

In a couple of months though, that luck will end when we'll have moved to our home in TV. We will then no longer be able to order from any of those six pizza places, and that to me is one of my few negatives about moving to TV. During our two month stay, after closing on our TV home in January, we only discovered one place that delivers pizza, and it's Papa Johns, a chain operation, and you can't order other Italian meals and more like I can with the 6 local places. I feel that any of the six up here in NY are better, but at the same time we find Papa Johns acceptable and will still order from them unless a better option comes along in the future!

I lived in Naperville for about 11 years before moving to NW Florida.

Originally, I am from central Illinois near Peoria.

No, I do not miss it at all!

I think Bonny is right; Uno's was the first to do deep dish Chicago style pizza.

It is so good but it packs on the pounds!

Uno was a small neighborhood grill opened in 1943. It was 1978 before anyone outside of that local neighborhood knew of it, when another fellow persuaded Mr.Sewell to give rights to expand the market and focus on the pizza recipe.

It was obviously well marketed, and God Bless their success. I just don't consider it "Chicago Style Pizza". That is a marketing tag, nothing more.
(I consider it a 'casserole' too.... lined with cornmeal.) But that's just me...

I agree with the Papa Murphys take and bake. Get your pizza to order and take it home. We had one in St Cloud MN, and really missed it when we moved to Florida. We like to eat at hme more n hte winter months when the restaurants are so crowded!!! I just googled it and there are Papa's in Apopka, Lake Mary, Longwood and Ocoee. So maybe we have a shot at it. They are franchised. And that Garlic Chicken pizza is great!!!

Forgetaboutit. Hands down, Sicilia's Pizzeria on Federal Hill in Providence, RI. Mmmmm.

Try TJ's Pizza in Leesburg, on 441/27 real Philadelphia Cheese Steaks and traditional northeastern pizza. The owners are from Philly.

I have been thru this thread from top to bottom and learned a lot. A couple of comments, I bet it was Glenway instead of Glernview, I know that is the case for Cincinnati chili at Skyline. When I worked at 550 Main St in Cincy LaRosa's was my daily lunch companion - hard to beat.

If you are hard up for pizza delivery and in the south end of TV like I am do not use Hungary Howies, or some similar name in Wildwood. Drive on over to Mallory and be very satisfied...

also across from Walmart (441) take-out only
 

:mmmm:

:agree:

New restaurant with pizza coming to SS:

Thanks....i mis'spoke' the name Glenway...i was thinking of TV Glenview CC I guess.

I also agree!

Hungry Howie's is definitely NOT the place to go for good pizza. The crust is very chewy (yes, I have all my own teeth), the sauce is extremely bland as well as spread very thing, and the cheese pizza basically has very little cheese on it.

I heard from a waiter at Olive Garden that the best pizza is TJ's.

to Mark 1130
 

What!?!? Naperville, we lived in Lysle and Wheaton!!! it was in 1978-80. Attended Naperville Bible Church! Small world!

The Best Pizza
 

Without a doubt the very best pizza is from Bravo. But not just any pizza but you must order the fresh cheese with Basil. It is more expensive and worth every morsel. Order it from Gaston who is a great pizza maker from N.Y. Isn't that where the best pizza's are from!!?

Paulys, Paulys, Paulys, is the best, in The Villages. We have a pizza every week from Paulys, we LOVE it. :spoken:

Ditto!

Pizza! Eeek. I'm trying to quit. :icon_wink:

What happened to Cane Garden's pizza? I recall it being on a hand-tossed, flavorful, thin crust. But the last time I had it, it was on a small, thin, flavorless, cracker-like crust that looked pre-formed because it fit the round serving platter (not a plate) exactly. Two of us had pizza and the crusts were identical. Now I don't mind a thin crust pizza, but I like real pizza dough, and this looked like something bought in bulk, pre-formed and pre-cooked with special serving plates that match its size. Just slap some sauce on it, throw it in the oven to melt the cheese and serve it. Very quick and cheap. I hope this is a temporary thing.

I heard that any pizza consumed in TV is low calorie, low fat and actually heart healthy. :laugh:

WOW! That article was good enough to eat!

scrapple -- Thanks for posting this article. This restaurant will open after my October visit to TV, but I will have to keep it in mind for next year's visit. Pasta is my weakness. :icon_hungry:

Pauly's is really good, but Bravo's, also good, gives you garlic knots with red sauce as you wait for your pie, yummm!! (my wife speaking: "yeah great, more bread, just what I need")

Real New York Pizza, and sorry Pauley's is not it!:spoken:

Bring some down and keep it hot!!
