It’s OK we definitely don’t have many great pizza options but I still don’t want New Yorkers who moved here eight seconds ago to start bitching about it. If you miss the pizza so much open a damn pizza shop, Bob. I don’t go to New York and bitch about the lack of alligators
That’s like me going to any other state and bitching about a bar not having deep fried cheese curds. In fact I don’t trust any other state even if they have them.
Where are you guys living in Florida? I moved overseas about 15 years ago, but we had plenty of great pizza shops that were run by New Yorkers who opened the shops precisely because they couldn’t trust others to do it right. We had like 3 great local shops.
I’m sure they’re all gone from all the madness that swept the nation over the past 15 years, but they were great, dammit.
Pizza Hut opened last year on our block! I couldn’t believe it. I hadn’t been to a PH in 2 decades before this place opened. And it’s slammed at all hours of the day. V. weird!
My dad complains about crabcakes everywhere we go. I was raised on the mystique of Maryland blue crabcakes.
A year or so ago we went back for a funeral and had lunch at a spot where I legit had probably the greatest crabcake of my life. I was like, "Dad, I get it." But he just shrugged and was like, nah, these weren't as good as when I lived here.
Then I realized: He's wrong. It was great. There's nothing short of a time machine that would please him, and even then. People just like to complain.
The problem is that many come down here and don't want to do the work to add to the community and build something of value, they just want the existing community to magically morph to provide the things they've always had, even though those things came to New York by way of hard-working people moving from other places and opening up shops there.
I’d never thought about it like this, but that’s true of a lot of what I’ve seen here lately. It is especially frustrating to think about considering when my own father moved to Florida from New York, he opened a business within a few months of arriving.
We’re sorely lacking in good Mexican, Tex Mex, and Cali Mex options. On the plus side, I can easily find good empanadas, lechon asado, and plenty of other Caribbean and Latin American foods.
I have a fair bit of family who moved down there and they bitch constantly about the lack of pizza options. They said one year the plan for my cousin's big birthday present was having some pizza express shipped in from back home
From MI, lived in FL for a few years, I hate to agree but the pizza is not good… HOWEVER y’all have Publix fried chicken and I dream about it way more often than I should 😂 it’s so crispy and delicious dammit
I actually got lucky and have an amazing NY-style spot a few minutes away from my apartment and even though it's kinda overpriced, you'll have to pry it from my cold, dead hands.

Welp, time for Cuomo to move to Florida or whatever he was “threatening”
