[QUOTE=Camera3;2494107]You aren't going to like it because it isn't crisp, but most NY pizzas are not crisp. Tomasino's in Colonial Plaza. I can get two slices of the Mechanic (pretty much all the way), a Cesar salad, a glass of cheap wine and tip for well under twenty bucks. It is the flavor you crave. Maybe you can have them make it crispier.
C3.[/QUOTE]Their pie looks tasty. I would call that Med thickness, LOL.
It's going to be behind graffiti junction in winter springs. Bavaro's. They will be using the ferrara brick wood burning oven (shipped in from italy) These are considered one of the best pizza ovens in the world. They will open within weeks.

Scroll down the page to see an example of a ferrara oven.
Walk into Kingfish in college park.
Sit down.
Order the special bianca with extra ricotta.
Watch as a little 5 ft nothing vietnamese lady cranks out this gem!
Thank me later.
We were up in Chicago two weeks ago and the little Pizza places scattered all around Soldier Field are great, we tend to favor deep dish. Did go to Manny's Chop House in Chicago and had one of the best bone-in Ribeyes I've had lately. Going back up in November for a couple of Bear's games.
[QUOTE=Sillyolman;2494096]All of this dinning talk has been very interesting and a welcome change.
I was wondering if anyone would like to talk pizza? I haven't found anything around Orlando that makes me eager to go back. I like all kinds of pizza. My preference is extra thin. Run that dough through the rollers a couple three extra times, just a tad bit more than average amount of sauce, a nice layer. Not to thick. Of mozzarella, add your toppings. Pepperoni, mushrooms, black olives and onions. Then put that sucker in the middle of the oven. I like my thin pies crispy.
Deep dish? I did live in the Chicago area for several years. Gino's East was my favorite. They have a corn meal crust. Fortunately for a pizza lover there are great mom and pop places all around the city and suburbs. For deep. Uncle Pete's in Downers Grove. Thin. Pappa Passero's in Westmont.
Dam it, now I am going to have to fly up there some time soon, LOL.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=FLAdventurer;2494104]If you don't want to go to all the work of hand carving an entire filet, I am sure that the butcher at Costco or Fresh Market would do one for you. Just tell him the ones in the counter are not as thick as you want. He'll end up cutting you a great steak. You got to make sure you ask to have all the silver removed. And then use the marinade, you will be in heaven.[/QUOTE]Thanks man! I may cook this for someone from this great forum then invite them over for an outcall so I can report both how well the meal was as well the lucky lady.

The pizza featured is called Fugazeta, which is a white pizza smothered in onion. Rico!!!!!
By the way, the churascaria I mentioned, the price is only about 35 bucks (not including booze).
Does anyone know if Lee and Rick's is still open on Winter Garden Road? Now there was a bucket of good oysters for a reasonable price. If they're closed, any other recommendations for an economical price on a good bucket of oysters?

Awesome oysters and great divey atmosphere. Now what has surprised me is that NO one has mention charley's steakhouse (vito's chophouse is owned by them) they have a filet mignon known as the fabulous filet, at 70 bucks it's pricey but worth every buck! Also shula's at the swan and dolphin is pretty good. For brazilian steakhouse texas de brazil is great (again pricey) and pizza. Well pizza believe it or not can be found at the osceola mall. Schiano is authentic ny style. Now how about sushi and Chinese places?
I'm from Miami but I'm in Orlando quite often and have worked hard at trying to not have to go to all the chain restaurants that are in Orlando. On the subject of Italian, I have found a quaint little place called Il Pescatore on Primrose just south of Colonial. Good southern style. A good pizza, too. Any others? Northern? Higher end? I haven't found s Forum quite like this one anywhere.
Mike.
I know I spoiled when it comes to cuban food but I have not found a really good place here in orlando yet, does anyone know have any suggestions. I know down south it little havana and tampa the columbian but I looking for a nice place close to idrive.
