Wow, 3 pages and the protectors of the Southland haven't attacked the OP yet.

probably because it's not an attack on the "southland" as you put it. It's a critic of the commercial establishments at Sawgrass. Nothing in the OP disparaged the surrounding southern villages.

I've seen other posts that are critical of something posters experienced down South, particularly at Sawgrass and the knifes came out in force.

It’s been my experience that the people determine the success or failure of a business…please ‘em, thrive, disappoint ‘em, close….if they pay the slightest attention to feedback, as displayed here, there’s hope…if they remain arrogant and non sensitive, syanora.

I found Piesano's to be OK. Not bad, not great, but OK. The best wood fired pizza I've had in central FL is at The Flying Boat Taphouse in Belleview. The best deep dish is at Legends in Leesburg. Ask for the meat sauce instead of the marinara - amazing!

Stavros is also very good - similar to Piesano's but better in my opinion. Crust is better and sauce has more flavor.

I stopped into McGrady's last week to have a beer after golf. Disappointing beer selection for an "Irish" pub, and the least expensive beer was $7 for a glass. Ridiculous for a Villages restaurant.

Probably because they have also been to Sawgrass and can’t find ample reason to disagree with the OP’s post?

It's fantastic. I will stick with them.
Lol. We tried piesanos twice to be fair. Soggy crap both times. I even asked them to cook it longer.
Clearly you've never had Regina's in MA.

Our friend born and raised in Scotland, said the list has most common fare that any restaurant could get. He was little surprised those that could be acquired were not available. But cost would detour most of the clientele from buying them, especially if $7 for a beer was outrageous for them

It was based on the Jigger Inn in St Andrews Scotland. I enjoy it there but I’m not a beer (or scotch) drinker. I’m more into craft cocktails. And yes, I agree probably not a big demand for high end scotch here.

Just a glorified overpriced food court
