Floridajim? Domino's, Chuck E. Cheese, and any navy mess hall.

There was one decent pizza place in all of metro Jacksonville, and the
last time I asked a "bud" down there what was happening, he said the
place had changed hands.

Good NY pizza is found in New York, New Haven, and a few other places
where there is a significant Italian population. Good Chicago pizza, as
far as I have discovered, is found in Chicago, possibly still at
Giordano's.

Central Florida?

Nah.



Jeebus! Now Harry claims to have personally tried every pizza place in
"Central Florida"?!!!!!!!!
WAFA!!!

Please explain why certain models of Husqvarna lawn/garden
tractors exist even though you claim they never were
manufactured.

When you finish explaining that, please explain why you put an
outboard with a 25" lower unit on a boat with a 20" transom.

When you finish explaining that, please explain how that
outboard can be *so* efficient, it burns about half the fuel
competing outboards would on the same boat and under the same
operating conditions.

Oh, and is your bipolar disorder under control now?



That's sure to get you back in Tom's good graces.
BTW You forgot to wish me happy birthday yesterday.
Cheers
Belated Happy Birthday......
Thank you Mr. Duck. I was at Disney yesterday. Do you think I
might have seen you?
If you looked about 50 miles to the NW, maybe.
My eyesight aint that good.

Wasn't there a big tornado that passed through your area a couple of
years ago?
Yes, about one mile south of my home in Lady Lake.
We stopped at Pauly's for slices Sunday. It's at Town Square. Do you
know the place. Don't want to give Hairy too much info. Let him dig
for it.
Not sure which of the two Squares you're referring to. I don't live in
the "compound" and infrequently visit either "square".

Spanish Springs. If you like pizza, it's worth a try.
I've heard the name for pizza. In the 17 years I've been in Florida I've
given up hope of finding anything close to Chicago pizza I crave.

After following your posts here for a long time I feel you are a man of
good "taste". I will give Pauley's a try and if it isn't up to my
standards I will haunt you here until you are driven away. Something
others cannot do! 8)

You got a deal.



Just for information. What is your reference point for judging pizza?


I like thin crust hand tossed with a good sauce not overly seasoned and
a blend of cheeses. I don't care for bread with sauce and cheese on top.
Greek style pan pizza is pretty good too.

Let's wait till Mr. Duck comes back with his report. I'll wager he likes it.

I thought when people get to your age, they like to forget about their
birthdays.


You do have a thinking problem, don't you. Matter of fact we spent the
afternoon at Disney and had a nice time. What do you do on your
birthday?
Not here yet, but when it arrives I'll be as old as your buddy in the
music business.

Wrong answer.
Here is a perfect example of what I was talking about.
It was a simple question. There were only seven uncomplicated words in it.
I'll give you another chance. What do you do on your birthday?


It was almost a year ago Numbnuts......... probably enjoyed it with my
family.


Yada yada yada. You still didn't answer the question. Have you been
taking lessons from Harry?

Agreed. Best pizza in Chicago is from neighborhood mom and pop restaurants.

I like it the way you do. Never had the Greek style.

A friend of mine has a joint in Chicago and when talking to him about it he
says the cheese available here is not the same. Also, I like sausage and
nothing here compares favorably to Chicago for me.

Here the green peppers, mushrooms and onions are ok, but you can't make a
pizza to suit my taste with just those. The big hang-up for me is the
cheese, too "watery" and makes the curst all soggy. I've had some good thin
crust here, but the cheese spoils it.

I hope to have Pauley's report shortly. I'm getting hungry...if I wasn't
headed for the golf course I may have gone there for lunch.

I was misinformed. My favorite pizza joint in Jax is still around...



Renna's
Argyle Village Square
6001 Argyle Forest Blvd., Suite 16
904.771.7677


Don't know what it is like now, but 11 years ago :) it was pretty
damned good NY-style pizza. Homemade sauce, too.

But I still long for a clam pie from Pepe's in New Haven, and a visit
afterwards to one of the Italian bakeries in the neighborhood.

Oh my. You are really having a hard time with this, aren't you? Let me
help you out. Do you get the family together and sing happy birthday? Do
you have a favorite thing you customarily do? In other words, "What do
you do on your birthday" Christ. Your birthday will be over before you
figure out how to answer the question. Them what calls you dumb might be
on to something.
