Barstool Sports Founder Dave Portnoy rated this North Hyde Park’s ‘za a 7.8. But we really love them for their lunch deal: one plain slice, one specialty slice, and a fountain drink for $7.
Editor Bailey’s late-night slice spot is parked steps away from Jannus Live in downtown St. Pete, for that easy post-concert access. The pieces are massive, and you can choose from plentiful toppings.
Trust us, the strip mall exterior belies the colorful, bustling St. Pete pizza joint within, complete with old school games and red booths. Get a slice of classic cheese pizza for under $5, plus some of their standout garlic knots for the road.
