I was sitting at my desk at work when one of our vendors brought in pizza from a local pizza place, DellaVentura’s Restaurant & Pizza. I used to know the family who owned DellaVentura’s but they sold the place a few years back. Everyone I work with swarmed the pies, but at work when the food is free, this normally the case.
One of the stops on a previous #chevypizzacrawl was at a new place we had never been to at one of our events. One of the organizers with me suggested we try Antonio’s Pizza-Rant, since she had fond memories of it from growing up. Seems like they have more then one location around the area, which is odd that I had never heard of it prior to being there. This caused me to have my pizza flags up. Usually if a place is decent, I get several emails informing me of the location, if I do not have a review already.
After meeting with a client at Starbucks in downt
own Fort Lauderdale, we decided to go and meet @morewillie and @montgomery for some pizza. Initially we were going to go to a new place called SoLita, and after walking up to the door we realized it was closed.
Went to meet a friend in downtown Fort Lauderdale the other day. To my surprise he brought Mallory with him, which just totally made my day! Now we had two pizza experts at Riverfront Pizza in Fort Lauderdale to evaluate the slices.
A few weeks ago I noticed a new sign had been put up blocks away from my humble apartment, Bellini’s Coal Fired Pizza. Naturally, the first thing that came to mind was, “I better tell Lapp immediately.” Despite his busy schedule of pissing people off, we managed to schedule a dinner there for the same week. Imagine my excitement, another possibly delicious pizza option close by. Score. I waited for our night to come with baited breath.
During a previous review, one of our Experts Jarret, loved New River Pizza in Fort Lauderdale. I gave him the benefit of the doubt since he was pretty spot on, when it came to other places we both liked. Since we had previously agreed on the others, I decided not to print my previous negative review I had written about New River pizza, and instead print his. But after trying this pizza again, I had to give my opinion.
What a simple to remember name….Slice! When you want some pizza, where are you gonna go look? Slice of course. When you get a pie, what do you eat? A slice of course. My buddy John suggested we try this place, since he heard some ramblings around town about it.
I was driving down and the road, and the familiar sound of my children bellowing from the backseat, “Daddy, we’re hungry.” I ask, “What would you like to eat?” The reply from the backseat “Pizza.” So we stop at Esposito’s Pizza & Restaurant at 2221 S. University Drive in Davie for a couple of slices.
As the hunger pains hit and I was ready to head out I decide on grabbing some pizza. I decided on New River Pizza, 706 S Federal Hwy
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316.
Squiggy’s is a place I have never eaten at before, and I am pretty upset that I never tried it. If you are downtown and have a choice of where to eat late night, you should choose this place.
