We like to doctor up Palmero's thin-crust frozen pizza. Try it you'll like it.

Pasta Faire is our absolute favorite place to go for pizza's. We've invited guests to join us many times and now they're big fans.

We Love their Wednesday Special on Pizza. BOGO.
We Often travel over there for 2 to go on Wed.
Freezes well. Worth it.

We were in Italy in 2022, and sampled pizzas in many areas...Naples, Rome, Florence, Venice, Bologna, Ravenna, etc. Each was different in its own way, but all were excellent. I might even go so far as to say every one of them was better than any pizza we've had in the USA. What really surprised me, though, was how inexpensive pizza was in Italy. A favorite memory was a sidewalk cafe in Venice, off the beaten path. A pizza and a bottle of Sangiovese for 18 Euros. How do you beat that?

Flippers is excellent! Too many Pizza's around here that do not know how to cook the crust all the way to the middle. Nothing worse than a limp slice.

We are all different. After trying pizza in a number of European shops have decided that pizza was invented in Italy but perfected in US in mostly mom and dad neighborhood shops.

Stavros in Leesburg is my favorite local place.

I agree. I always get the thin crust, and add the hot honey. It's actually pretty good, the price is right, and it is a golf cart ride away from me. The 50% off full moon deal makes it a no-brainer.

And to establish my credentials - lived both in Chicagoland and NJ. I've had pizza from some of the best places in both. I appreciate Connie's deep dish, and NYC thin crust, folded slices while walking outside of Penn Station. Both have their advantages.

But I understand that down here, I'm not going to get that. But there are some good alternatives. Marco's for the money and convenience, meets that requirement.

To all of those who say "it's not NYC/Chicago"? That's nice. Move back there.

Personally, my choice of pizza is how it is cooked. Had Marcos once. Looked like it was conveyor belt pizza(not cooked on a hearth). Most, if not all, chains use this method as it is the least labor intensive and will less likely get burned or under cooked.

Most home ovens do not have the necessary heat. Worked in a pizza restaurant for two years. Need 500 degrees and a flat surface/hearth

Paisanos!!!

Santa knows...

Do you mean Piesanos in The Villages or Paisanos in Virginia and other states? Two different pizza chains.

Napolino's, Wildwood is great. Gio's in Oxford is great. Roberto's Ristorante & Pizzeria is Great.Gio's Deli and Mercato, Oxford, FL These three are all great Pizza places and they also serve old world type Italian food, They are all owned by Italians.

Way better than Pisano’s, Brooklyn might be a tad better? Good pizza though.

When I was looking at houses, there was one off Morse, north of 466A, that had an awesome pizza oven in the back. Almost bought the house because of the pizza oven.

I don’t rave about it, just IMO for my tastes it better than ALL pizza joints I’ve been to in and around villages. In other words IMO they was NOT worth returning to for pizza, which why IMO I buy Digioeno’s at least I know what I am getting.

I Wonder if a pepperoni pizza from all the establishments mentioned, including Digiorno and Red Baron were lined up on a table, would any of you actually know the brand you claim to like the best?

Oooh a taste test challenge.

More than likely most would guess correctly, I believe. But I would bet that most would easily identify the frozen.

You can't beat that! But it was the complete experience that made it so great. Sure, the pizza was good. But without the wine, sidewalk Cafe, the sights and sounds and romance of Venice, well, who can say? Wonderful memories!

Yes, done taste evaluation of Several frozen brands on 10 point rating system on taste, crust, quality, doneness, pepperoni’s, and price. For MY taste none was 10. I liked digiorno’s based on crust, quality, and price for what I got.

Store brought was pretty close on taste, some crust and price I didn’t like for what got. Each person has different taste, expectations due to the region they’re from. Not all of us are Italian decent and compare American pizza to Palermo.

Marc's is close and quick and good, IMHO. No frozen for me, thanx.
