Anthony’s Coal Fires Pizza

It used to be the Paul and young Ron, but I think it changed names. With the spicy peppers, is one of the best pies out there.

and it’s a chain joint, which is a bit of a surprise

Other than my family’s place...I’d have to go with Denino’s on Staten Island...IT IS PHENOMENAL! Margherita pizza and add sausage

Haven’t found a really good pizza joint since I moved back to Jacksonville last year. That said, I’ll eat damn near any pizza.

Old Chicago Pizza. I've only ate at them out in Colorado Springs, CO but I think there is one in Chattanooga.

When I was a student, these were around a buck. If there was a pack of sliced cheese in the fridge, you could tear a slice into strips add them on top before cooking.

These were a staple when financial aid started running out and decisions had to be made. These along with ramen, store brand mac n cheese, and frozen burritos.

That said, the best pizza is hot and fresh, especially NY style which lacks mass and has a large surface area so it loses heat quickly. I like them all, NY, Neapolitan, Chicago (which should be called pizza casserole, not pizza), Detroit, all of them, especially when they are hot and fresh.

One of my favorites is a Central Florida style that usually goes by the name Stavros but some places do similar pies as Manny's, Kelsey's, and Taki's. They are all over Daytona, Ormond, Leesburg, Eustis, New Smyrna, Port Orange, Merritt Island, etc.

It's a thicker pie, but not Chicago style. Not as thick as a pan pizza, and it's very crispy. It's kind of its own style.

If you've never had it, you should give it a shot.

Speaking of Totinos ... One of my nephews came to visit me when he was a teenager. He was around 6'5"...maybe 180. Skinny. Anyway, I bought a bunch of junk food for him to eat while I was at work and for late night. He ate all 4 Totino pizzas the first night (after I had gone to bed). lol.

They are good.

For all you Jax peeps... there is also a Moon River on Edgewood and this was our goto when we lived up there.

Is that the one in Fruit Cove area? We just moved here a few months ago and tried that one. Wasn’t that impressed. We did another place one night and my wife said cheese only and literally got cheese only.
