Dade City finally has a place that sells a pizza that is so good I will actually buy it when I don't feel like making my own.Francesco's New York Style Pizza opened two months ago on the edge of downtown Dade City where Manolo's used to be. Emily and I decided to give it try for lunch today after getting very good reviews from the owner of the book store across the street.
During a brief chat with one of the owners, I learned that the pizza chef is from Italy and they make their dough and sauce from scratch. The menu included pizza, stromboli, calzones, hot and cold subs, pasta and dinner entrees of chicken, veal or eggplant parmesan, chicken Sorrentino and Veal Sorrentino.
The pizza we got had a lovely crip crust even after the drive home in a box (I had to bribe Emily not to eat a piece before we got it here so I could take the picture) and had just the right amount of cheese and sauce.
I don't know if anyone from my town reads this blog, but if they do, I highly recommend Francesco's and hope people will stop in and give this place some business so they are open when I need them.
They are open Monday through Thursday, 11a.m. to 8 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
The address is 14418 7th Street, Dade City
352-518-0009 or 518-0348.

Now Kathy and I will have to stop by. I kept meaning to, but with this review, I WILL.
I am picky about pizza - it was really good. Really nice people too. Mom, dad, and daughter were all there pitching in. I hope their business is a success.
If you like NY-style pizza, I don't think you will be disappointed.
I was envious of the dough tossing technique... something I have not even come close to approximating.
