HEY GUYS AND DOLLS: Yesterday Roe took me to Orlando for a doctor's appointment and as usual came the question, "Where do you want to do lunch?" Sometimes we can never pick a place, so I said, " 2 Slices of Pie and a drink." We took a ride down Dr. Phillips Blvd. in Orlando to a place we visited once. Upon arriving we noticed a name change and the first question arose, "Should we or not?" Take overs sometimes are questionable but we gave it a try. We ordered 2 slices of pie with pepperoni each and 2 root beers. Out came the slices, now for the truth. Picked up the first slice gave it a fold, heard that crack, oil started to drip, the first bite GREAT. Just the right texture, not too much cheese and more sauce than you would receive in any other pizza joint. We have a winner. For all my Jersey and Philly readers, it reminded us of the pies on the boardwalk at Seaside Heights. If it had more sauce the taste would almost be like a DeLorenzo's. I said almost no one could compare to the original.
We complimented the pizza man, find out he's from Jersey relocated here long ago. The place may be a chain as I looked for it on the net today. When visiting down here or if you are a local, try this place and here is the info:

Hi JoeZ:)
I like how this pizza place mentions New York and New Jersey
on the opening page of its website.
I am glad they lived up to that
high standard for Italian food:)
Mack: The sorry part about Florida is too many restaurants and most of the tourists go to the big chain places they know, Pizza Hut, Poppa John's etc. Small mom and pop places are hard to find. I try to inform those coming to the area of good places to eat. Rosemary and I got ripped plenty of times. Thanks for your post.
