Let me make certain you all know before I review this pizza from Chili’s Restaurant in Boca Raton, that I am well aware that nobody goes out of their way to have pizza while at Chili’s. When I saw it on the kids menu, I asked my son to order it for dinner so that I could also try it. Don’t put pizza on the menu, if you don’t want anyone to review it.
Well here is just an unheard remarkable concept down in South Florida…..a pizza place where you order at the counter and take the slice to the table yourself. Yup, no server needed to carry you, your one slice of pizza to the table located directly in front of the counter. Pasquale’s Pizza, you started off with a perfect score in my book for this novel idea.
Pasquale’s Pizza has been known as some of the best pizza in the Coral Springs area for quite some time. We have previously reviewed the Coral Springs location and really liked it. This is their third location, and I suppose they will continue to try to open up more around the area.
While driving back home from North Miami, I decided to take Federal Highway since it was rush hour. Along the path I finally spotted Carini’s Pizza. Carini’s Pizza in Hallandale Beach is a place I have wanted to try for years, but never make it down to this specific area often enough to try it. I walked in and immediately noticed how humongous these slices were. I ordered one slice, but realized it wasn’t the jumbo slice I had seen, that was a separate jumbo pizza, so make sure if you want the big slice, you ask for the right one.
Since I am a new reviewer here I will try to keep this post short and to the point. I was driving through the narrow roadways of the gold coast of Long Island, NY, and got hungry along the way. Since there aren’t many choices through the Brookville and Matinecock area of the North Shore, the town of Locust Valley is the obvious choice. This is the only place in the immediate area with a small town like this. This is the kind of town that you see in movies. Super wealthy, and some quaint shops.
I noticed Gino & Co. Pizza on Birch Hill Road, and pulled in to grab a slice. It was amazing.
Since I am not a member at the Woodfield Country Club, I had to wait for someone to invite me there in order to try their new pizza out. According to a newsletter they put out recently, it “puts all others to shame.”
The pizza cooked in like seven minutes and cost $13 for the large pie. We sat down and began to wait in a beautifully redesigned eating area by the pool. While eating there I felt like I was on vacation. I was hoping that the pizza at Woodfield Country Club was as gorgeous as the actual community itself. Woodfield has to be one of the most eloquent looking country clubs around Boca Raton.
Was at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino the other day for a conference and stopped by the Italian Restaurant on the deader side of the outdoor shops to try Tuscany Italian Restaurant. I was pleased to see they had some pizza on the menu, so I ordered up a plain individual pie to see how it tasted. The place was pretty dead during the off hour that I went, so I wasn’t sure if it was because it was awful, or just a time that many people choose not to eat while visiting.
The other day, Randi Rasar and Jeremy Loper finally invited me in for their annual cold pizza contest. As many of you who read this regularly, I was quite upset previously with their decision not to research and see that they have the Pizza Expert in their backyard (post here). This year I decided to take my distain to Twitter and “passive aggressively”, ask him to be a judge, as Jeremy tweeted. Well my annoyance worked, and they ultimately had me on the show to help judge their Cold Pizza Contest. Let me tell you, it was a blast!
If you haven’t ventured out to the new Grande Pizza in Boca Raton yet, then you obviously didn’t read our previous review of the place. Grande Pizza opened up where Times Square Pizza used to be located, in the shopping center where Gatsby’s used to once reside. I recently went there to watch the Jets lose (they came close), and enjoy some Detroit Style Sicilian Pizza. For those that are not familiar with what Detroit Style Pizza is, it is best left to wikipedia:
Detroit-style pizza is a style of pizza, developed in Detroit. It is a square pizza similar to Sicilian-style pizza that has a thick deep-dish crust, cooked toppings such as pepperoni and olives, and is served with the marinara pizza sauce on the top of the pizza. It is known within Detroit as Square pizza.
The crust of a Detroit-style pizza is noteworthy because in addition to occasionally being twice-baked, it is usually baked to a chewy medium-well-done state, and many parlors will apply melted butter with a soft brush prior to baking
Went up to my uncles condo in West Palm Beach to go to my cousins child birthday party. My uncle was courteous enough to order in some pizza from Pizza Bella 2 for us with some garlic knots. I asked him why he chose this location and he told me it is a nice tasting pie with some of the fairest prices in town.
The pie looked tasty enough when I opened it, so I grabbed a slice and a couple of garlic knots, just to see what they tasted like. While eating I read up to see where Bella Pizza 2 was in West Palm Beach and realized it is located on Clematis Street, where another type of European Cafe was. I forget the name.
Restaurant social marketing expert Craig Agranoff has the recipe for the next great reality show
There are more than 70,000 pizzerias in the United States, and the average Joe will eat nearly 4,000 slices of pie in a lifetime.
But with the majority of us being pizza loyalists – sticking to one or two authentic joints that consistently deliver the goods – what happens to all other pizzerias that fail to distinguish their product or marketing?
Dusty pizza boxes get Duct-taped across the windows. And when the neighborhood loses, the cardboard pizza chains and frozen pie purveyors gain.
