A decent pizza in Leesburg? (Orlando, Kissimmee: home, live in, store)

[deevee]

Im new in Leesburg, and Id like some help. I want to find a good pizza here. Any suggestions?

Ya gotta drive! Leesburg has horrible pizza! My parents lived there a few years ago.

I was raised in NYC, NJ and even a year in Italy, so I have a good idea about good pizza...

There's a great Pizza place down 27 called Mannino Pizza at;

43362 Highway 27, Davenport, FL‎ - 863-424-4222

The best pizza in Kissimmee is Al's:

Al's Pizzeria. 3305 W Oak St Kissimmee, FL 34741.


The best pizza in East Orlando is Goodfella's off of Alafaya and 50:

11865 E Colonial Dr
Orlando, FL 32826
407-658-6615

You'll just have to order a couple of pies and wrap each slice in foil to store in your freezer, then take em out when u want them, 1 minute in the nuke and then 2-5 minutes in the toaster oven! Mmm mmm gooood!

A lot closer than any of those is Lil' Anthony's on Route 27 in Minneola. Depending on where you are in Leesburg it might be under a 20 minute drive.

It is the horrible water down there. At least the places I mentioned make their own sauce and don't scoop it out of a bucket from Roma food distribution systems.

Deevee,
I have a home in Leesburg......I've only tried Tony's pizza. I thought it was expensive and not all that great. i'm looking forward to trying some of the other places around town...there's gotta be a good pizza made somewhere close......

I won't be back there again until May......please find one for me by then.

Sorry you cant find as good of a "pie" in FL as you can in NY. I like Pizza hut, Little Caesers, and Domino's myself. I dont see what all the fuss is about when referring to "NY-style" pizza and all that stuff.

[faithfulFrank]

I'm not necessarily referring to "NY style" pizza, although I've had it. It's just that there does not seem to be all that many pizza choices down in Florida.

For example, I live in a town of about 15,000 people here in western NY. We have over 21 pizza places within a 10 mile radius.......not even counting Pizza Hut, Domino's, etc.......They ALL stay busy, and all have their loyal patrons.

Leesburg is like 4 times as big, but have way less Pizza places then that.

I don't want to change the subject, but Florida also seems to have less ice cream and coffee places also.

Now, I'm NOT complaining, and I DON'T want to change Florida into anything like NY.....I'm just stating a fact. I still consider Florida a major upgrade for us and cannot wait to make the big move.

Thank you. No place is perfect, and every move has trade offs. For every one thing I may miss from NY, there are awesome things that will be new to me that is the norm in Florida......

I know that the prevailing perception that Floridians have of many NY'ers is not favorable. Personally, I love the Florida lifestyle, and can't wait to melt into it.

I still do wish I had more pizza choices.....(smile)
