My sister asked me to join her for my nephews friends birthday part at Dave and Busters in Islandia, Long Island. The hosts were kind enough to have some food for the adults who hung around. One of the appetizers they had was these mini round pizzas. Naturally I took a couple to try them.
Last year this time, Tony who used to own Tony’s Authentic Pizza made me this heart shaped pizza pie for Valentine’s Day. It wasn’t for me in that kind of way perverts! My wife and I requested this upside down regular pie. It was delicious.
Had an old friend come and pick me up for lunch, to take me to a pizza place he thought was the best around the area. La Margherita Pizza in Medford is located kind of in a fork in the road. Very odd location for this place, but it seemed to be doing a good business. I ordered only one slice to give it a try.
I had a stuffed slice of pizza filled with spinach, broccoli, ricotta, and mozzarella cheese from the Sbarro in the UCF Student Union. While most pizzerias in the New York area seem to always have this type of pizza available, you have to be really lucky to find stuffed pizza in Florida.
The last stop of our Boca Raton pizza tour, was at Anna Vincenzo’s in the 5th Avenue shops. 1930 NE 5th Ave (561) 362-8990. You know how they say “save the best for last?” Well this place was definitely the best of the three…at least according to me. My son really liked La Pizza, but at least we both agreed on the grossness level of Primavera.
A little history of Anna Vincenzo’s Pizza in Boca Raton….Anna Vincenzo’s used to be Carlucci’s Pizza until the current owner bought it from them. The current owner was trained by her father who used to own a pizza joint in Jackson Heights queeens I think it was. He used to work there when they first bought the place, but I haven’t noticed him behind the counter making pies in a while.
As I sat there waiting for my slice, I watched the pizza guy (who appeared from central america) making the pizzas. All I could say is I was amazed at the time and patience he put into each and every pie he was making. This guy was obviously trained by a master and it really showed. He stretched the dough out perfectly, he used a generous amount of sauce and cheese, and made sure to put the same amount of seasoning on each pie. This leads to obvious consistency from pie to pie. My slice was a bit oily, but it tasted great. The crust was crispy, the taste was great, and the cheese was awesome to say the least. My son didn’t really care for this slice, but I think it is because he cannot hang with the big guys on a pizza tour and got too full to fully enjoy it.
I cannot attest for the regular pie out of the oven, but their slices are damn good. Anna Vincenzo’s in Boca Raton gets 5 out of 8 slices. Congrats on the baby as well CICI.
Perrini’s Pizza in West Boca Raton has long been known as a decent pizza place, but the kind of place that should have a sign saying Eat At Your Own Risk. The place was pretty much a pig sty, with bugs once landing in my soda. That is incidentally when I stopped eating there.
Prior to the bug landing incident, my son used to pick this place as a baby because they used to let him draw photos and hang them on the wall with the other gross photos that used to hang there until the paper started to shrivel from age. Then after the drawing they used to give the kids free Italian Ices! Perrini’s certainly knew how to market to their child crowd, who in turn made their parents take them to eat here.
The pizza, was never that bad, and had great potential if you could get past the atmosphere. I guess the owner finally got the hint and has finally decided to redo the awful decor inside. Let’s hope this cleans the place up and gives it a more comfortable layout.
Rumors have been flying in to WorstPizza HQ that Pirinis might take over Peace a pizza in Boca Raton. We cannot confirm this yet, but will keep you informed as we hear more. Since in our opinion Peace a Pizza stinks, we look forward to the change should it be true.

During an interview on BBC’s Radio Four program in the United Kingdom, the founder of Papa John’s and the company’s chief spokesman gave advice to radio listeners: don’t eat too much pizza.
Sounds crazy, but it’s actually Papa John’s response to the British government’s anti-obesity drive. “Pizza’s actually very healthy for you if you don’t eat too much of it,” John said. He probably risks some blow-back from his corporate shareholders with these statements, I’d wager.
It’s interesting to note that while Papa John admonishes us not to eat more than a couple of slices of pizza, none of their chain’s stores sells anything but whole pizzas. The radio announcer cribbed at this, closing the show with “So don’t eat a whole pizza is the advice of the chief executive of Papa John’s? I’m not sure your investors would want to hear you tell people ‘don’t eat too much of our pizzas.’”
Interestingly, with his potentially sales-slugging comment, Schnatter originally appeared on the show to talk about how his company is weathering the recession.
Perhaps they’re weathering it by telling people not to buy their product? This could be a maneuver towards getting some of those rich government bailout funds. John may be laughing all the way to the bank, as sales are up in nearly all of his chain’s international markets.
Here come the pizza bailout requests
