Bella Nonna Gourmet Pizza Boca Raton
A new pizza place recently opened up in the northern end of Boca Raton on Federal Highway named Bella Nonna Gourmet Pizza. It took the location of many a failed food establishment, including but not limited to Giovanni’s Pizza. Someone told me they saw Bella Nonna Pizza advertising on Facebook one day and asked if I had checked it out out. I hadn’t so the other day I went in with a couple of buddies to check it out.
Bella Nonna Gourmet Pizza didn’t really look like it changed much since my previous visit into the pizzeria, when it was owned by some other name. We went up to the counter, but didn’t see any pizza in the display case, so we asked what we should do, and were told with what sounded like a Brazilian accent, to order here and sit down. We ordered up a few different pies and began the wait.

Coyote Jack’s Pizza FAU – Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton
As I visit the campus of Florida Atlantic University more and more in Boca Raton, I become more acclimated with the food choices on campus. Since the food court houses a Papa John’s Pizza and I would sometimes rather eat M&M’s for dinner instead of that crap, I decided to go with a friend to the bar/restaurant located within the Student Union called Coyote Jack’s and see what type of offerings they had there.
It was with delight I noticed that they offer some flatbread pizza choices here. I ordered a half pie which was $5.99, and asked for it without the cheddar cheese they mix in it for some odd reason. Oh well, it is a college and I shouldn’t expect normalcy. Especially from one which has had so much negative press lately.

iPic Movie Theatre Mizner Park Boca Raton Pizza
Had the opportunity to go to the iPic Movie Theatre in Mizner Park the other night. This new Boca Raton movie theatre seems to be all the rage, so it seemed well worth the try. My nephew was visiting so I wanted him to have a good experience anyways. When I saw the tickets were $24 a piece, I realized this might be the only time I go see a movie here.
The only movie we could see was Olympus Has Fallen, and at 10pm, so I was already tired when I got there. I noticed the menu had pizza on it, and I couldn’t wait to try it.

Peace a Pizza Boca Raton, FL
I haven’t been to Peace a Pizza in Boca Raton for a long long time. Last time I went there, I reviewed this pizzeria and truly disliked it. Not sure I found one single redeeming quality about this establishment. Anyways, I linked the article in my second sentence, so you can always click to read it there.
A buddy of mine told me that Peace a Pizza had new owners in this Boca Raton location, in the Ale House shopping center. At first I doubted him, since Peace a Pizza had been for sale forever in this lunch only section of Boca Raton. Being my inquisitive self, I went in to see if there were in fact, new owners.

Jerry’s Pizza Boca Raton Sicilian Slice
Before you read this review, I am well aware that Jerry’s Pizza in Boca Raton is a pretty unattractive looking establishment. If ever a pizzeria in Boca Raton could benefit from a facelift, Jerry’s is the poster child. In my opinion, I am shocked that some reality show hasn’t heard about this place and offered to help. Upon walking in, one might think they haven’t updated anything since they opened all those years ago.
Now, with that being said, I am a pizza daredevil and decided to go and check Jerry’s out since it had been a couple of years since my last review there. Honestly, I thought Jerry’s would have been out of business by now. There are so many other pizza options in Boca Raton, who take pride in their appearance, and offer decent pricing, it seems logical patrons would probably chose those over Jerry’s Pizza. Apparently they did this day since I was the only person eating there during lunch time.

Pizza Time Boca Raton Sicilian
Went back to have another try of Pizza Time since I have been trying to find a Sicilian Slice I would deem worthy enough to go back and try. We have previously reviewed Pizza Time in Boca Raton here twice and both times enjoyed the taste of their regular and Sicilian slices. But since it has been about 3+ years since the last review, it was certainly necessary to try it again.
WIthout getting too much into the history of Pizza Time in Boca Raton, it is the original owner of the one in Coral Springs (Bobby) back when it used to be great. He sold the location, took some time off, and opened in Boca Raton, in a location that really isn’t in the middle of anything.

FAU Living Room Theatre Pizza Boca Raton
Did you know they have a movie theatre at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) in Boca Raton? I sure didn’t. The other day I was in a new building there and saw all these marquee style signs with movies currently playing, and others to come. Although I never heard of most, they looked pretty interesting and indie style. So I went inside to take a look and even found they have a cafe that serves food and drink. When I saw they had a pizza on the menu, I just had to sit down and try it.
The Living Room cafe had a nice menu, with a bunch of choices that you wouldn’t expect to find in a movie theatre, let alone on a college campus. Besides the usual popcorn, candy, sodas, they had salad, sandwiches and actual dinner plates. You can download the menu here. The pizza was only $6.50 so it seemed it was worth checking out.

Red Zone Pizza Near The Beach, Boca Raton
During my previous visit to Red Zone Pizza in Boca Raton, located near A1A and Palmetto Park Road, I had the Sicilian and liked it. Although they just use two pieces of regular dough to make it (like so many other places down here) it tasted pretty darn good. I knew I would have to make the return trip there to try out their regular slice since it looked really good behind the glass display case.
The other day I found myself around that area and decided it was time to go and check out the regular slice. I had forgotten just how expensive the slice was here, and at $3.00 I hoped it was as good as it looked. I ordered two slices and sat down.

Pummarola Pizza Town Center Mall Boca Raton, FL
The Town Center Mall in Boca Raton recently decided not to renew a lot of the leases of the restaurants that had been paying rent for years and years. Instead, they decided they need a more upscale feel and started to kickout not renew the leases of the places they deemed to not be up to Boca Raton fancy standards. So Subway got replaced with the classy Earl of Sandwich. Flamers is getting replaced with some Butcher Block burger place. Seems like Villa Pizza is next to go, since they opened up a new upscale Neapolitan style pizza place called Pummarola directly next to them. Yes, when I say directly, I mean directly.
Initially I walked by Pummarola Pizza not wanting to like it, since I couldn’t believe the owner of this establishment would open right next door to a place that had been there for so many years. At least wait until they were pushed out. After seeing that Pummarola made their pies fresh right in front of you, and that they were small individual pies baked in wood fired oven, in the mall food court, I decided that maybe I should give it a shot.

Papa John’s Pizza Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL
After all these years I finally went for a walk through Florida Atlantic University FAU with my son to show him around a bit. I never realized how big the campus was, nor did I know they had a food court on premise. Once we reached the food court, my son, like usual, decided he was hungry. We wandered around a little bit to see what there was to eat and ultimately decided upon Papa John’s Pizza, just to grab something quick.
Can’t exactly say the foreigner behind the counter was friendly, actually I found him a bit arrogant. We ordered two slices and a soda (they had a special) and thought we would have to wait a bit. This wasn’t the case, the pizza was served to us luke warm.
