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.
