We have to go all the way to Broadway to get our pizza, but fortunately, Broadway Ristorante & Pizzeria is just down the street on SR 434 about where Altamonte Springs meets Longwood. As the word Ristorante implies, there is more on the menu than pizza and it all looks very good, but we are just suckers for pie. This is the best we've found without travelling out of town or back in time to college days (Mano's RIP). The crust is relatively thin hand-tossed covered with a very New York Italian sauce with toppings sliced, chopped or sprinkled exactly right, for me anyway.
One thing I notice - call me weird - is when pizza and pasta places understand the two different lids for condiment shakers. Round holes are for powders like Parmesan cheese: slotted openings are for the larger goodies, especially red pepper flakes. As the picture shows, someone here gets it.
My only complaint is they no longer serve Newcastle, my preferred beverage with pizza. The selection is still large enough I can choose from among Guinness, Bass and some other quite acceptable potables, but I still give them a hard time about it.
This neighborhood place seats about 30-40 inside with the bar and maybe twice that outside under canopies, where entertainers occasionally do their thing.
Tonight we had a large pie with mushrooms, onions and pepperoni, one beer and two sodas for about $27.
