The Family and I made a recent visit to Key Largo Florida.  With rain and record low temperatures, there was little to do with the kids.  The wife and I agreed that it called for a trip to a local pizzeria.  We passed the Tower of Pizza on the way to our hotel and it was recommended by the local video store employee (don’t ask) so it quickly became our destination.

The ambiance matched that of a typical pizzeria with red & white checkered table cloths albeit with a bit more of a tropical theme.  We ordered a well-done pie with 1/2 light cheese. Upon its arrival, I was very happy that I ordered light cheese on my part.  The cheese on the regular slices was so thick that it could have been mistaken for a white pizza.

Upon biting into my slice, it had a familiar taste.  It was good but was missing something.  The wife and I agreed that it wasn’t cooked evenly with some spots better done than others.  I would have liked more sauce but overall taste was good. The further into the slice I got, the more I enjoyed it.  The crust was very good; bordering on excellent.  The pizza went from average to above average just based on the crust.  It had a nice crunch and was nice and airy.

The only thing that would keep me from returning to Tower of Pizza next time I am in Key Largo is that I would want to give a different pizzeria a try so I would be able to compare.  They were really nice and gave my kids lollipops when we were done.  Overall, a nice experience. 5 out of 8 slices.

How I like my pizza:

I like my pizza well-done with light cheese.  I like when the flavors are well balanced.  I find that many places put too much cheese on making the pizza soggy.  It also overpowers the taste of the sauce and crust.
