Johnny and Anthony, New York City natives, opened this Orlando outpost, consistently voted the best pizza in Central Florida. Their trendy little eatery in Thornton Park offers outdoor tables, a small dining room and an expansive menu of Italian specialties, from spaghetti and meatballs to stuffed calzones.

Most of the patrons are there for the pizza. It has a crust just thick enough for folding sandwich-style, a light red sauce and plenty of mozzarella cheese. There are toppings galore, 18 in all, from fresh garlic to pineapple, but for purists, the simple pepperoni pie may be the best thing on the menu.

Also popular are the hefty calzones and the Bianco pizza with mozzarella and ricotta cheeses, fresh garlic and olive oil. The kitchen also turns out delicious hot and cold subs, salads and pastas. Because the restaurant sits close to a public school, city laws don't allow beer or wine to be sold. You might opt for takeout so you can pour a cold brew to truly enjoy Anthony's New York-style pies. -- Pam Brandon
