***** Barone’s La Pizzeria, 5632 West Sample Road, Margate, Florida 33073 (954) 968-4396.

Barone’s La Pizzeria is a “Mom & Pop—red sauce” pizza joint located in Margate.
You can check its menu/prices at www.lapizzeriamargate.com.

You know and I know that “Mom & Pop” pizza joints are a dime a dozen-down here in old South Florida. I think the way it works…the strip center landlord first signs Publix, then Walgreens, then a Chinese takeout, then a pizza joint, then a dry cleaners…then a —-(you fill in the blanks)….then half of the businesses go bust…

Anyway, the other evening, I gave Barone’s La Pizzeria a shot- and I gotta tell you, the food is real-good. Jeff Eats’ party did pizza, shrimp scampi, veal parmigiana, meat lasagna, chicken & shrimp alfredo, penne ala vodka—and like I just said, real good!

As you know– over the past few years, old Jeff Eats has eaten-in his fair share of “Mom & Pop” Italian joints…and, to be perfectly honest with you, most of them barely get the job done, but then again, that’s the nature of the beast…”cheap is cheap”….”you get what you pay for”…”one if by land, 2 if by sea.” Trust me on this one, Barone’s La Pizzeria is REAL GOOD…if you live or work near the joint, I highly recommend that you give it a try.

By the way, Barone’s La Pizzeria is right across Sample Road from the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek and is maybe a 3-minute drive (west) from the Festival Flea Market on Sample Road.

Barone’s La Pizzeria is open Sunday-Thursday 11am-10pm and Friday-Saturday 11am-11pm.

It’s a no-holds-barred battle of belly laughs as comedians Steve Solomon and Dick Capri square off at Coral Springs Center for the Arts. Both stand-ups have ascended to the highest level of live comedy during their extensive careers: the Broadway stage in New York. Solomon is a wise-cracker full of impressions whose solo show My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish & I’m in Therapy! has been a hit in the Big Apple and beyond. Dick Capri once appeared in a stand-up extravaganza called Catskills on Broadway and has worked with Tom Jones, Liza Minnelli, Frank Sinatra and other stars.

***** Grandma’s Brooklyn Pizza, 10045 Belvedere Road, Royal Palm Beach, Florida 33411, (561) 793-3323.

Got a terrific “mom & pop” red sauce Italian joint for you guys…Grandma’s Brooklyn Pizza in Royal Palm Beach. Real tiny joint, with just a handful of tables-so don’t be planning no big high school graduation parties or nothing!

You can check menu/prices at grandmasbrooklynpizza.com.

Just so you know, the joint has the full boat of expected appetizers, salads, pizzas, pastas, subs, meat/chicken/seafood entrees, desserts. For those of you who might be wondering, yes- entrees come with soup or salad, garlic rolls and a pasta side.

The other night Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and another couple gave Grandma’s a shot…large cheese pizza (16″-$12.99), chicken parmigiana sub ($8.59), eggplant parmigiana sub ($8.59), shrimp scampi over pasta ($19.19), meat lasagna ($13.09)- and I gotta tell you everything and I do mean everything was delicious. You guys know that Jeff Eats isn’t a big proponent of pecking-order lists-but I must tell you that the pizza (thin, crisp, sweet sauce) was terrific and the eggplant parmigiana sub alone- was worth the drive-up-to Royal Palm Beach.

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, this hole in the wall is a dynamite joint.

Grandma’s Brooklyn Pizza is open Monday-Saturday 11am-10pm, Sunday noon-10pm.

A recent e-mail from Allison…

Jeff,
My husband and I recently (May) moved to Fort Lauderdale. Both of us come out of your old stumping grounds, Brooklyn, New York. We are both in our late 60s. We did make a 23 year stop in Westbury before permanently moving here. We found Jeff Eats purely by accident while searching for various restaurants on the internet. Your reviews pop up all over the place that we couldn’t resist seeing what you had to say. By the way a number of restaurants use your reviews on their websites. Of the five restaurants that we have tried so far, we found that your taste and ours are pretty similar. The ones we thought were perfect were Franco & Vinny’s, Villa Rose, La Veranda and Rainbow Palace. We didn’t think too much of Burger & Suds. Got a request, what’s a really good NYC kosher style deli in the East Fort Lauderdale area? We’ve eaten in a number of bagel joints but we are really looking for terrific food not bagel store level quality. I know that you can appreciate what I’m looking for here.

The Pomperdale New York Style Deli has been around since 1969…I’m thinking- that you and the Mister will really enjoy this order-at-the-counter joint.

Thanks for reading…

The Pomperdale Deli has been in business for nearly 40 years. I found this joint about 16 years ago and have probably eaten lunch there ar least 50 times.

If you like good…no make that great deli and appetizing…then this joint is for you. No waiters…order at the counter…No checks, just tell the guy at the register what you had.

This is probably the best “kosher style” deli in South Florida. As a matter of fact, it may very well be the best deli in Florida. The food is absolutely terrific. This joint is open 7 days a week…Monday-Saturday 6am-5pm and Sunday 6am-3pm.

Don’t miss this joint…it is a one of a kind.

* Liverpool Live.

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats love- top notch Beatles’ tribute bands! Can’t exactly explain the attraction- but we find the band’s music infectious not to mention Jeff Eats’ uncanny resemblance to Paul McCartney!

With the above in mind, on Thursday- December 8, 2016 (8pm) and Friday- December 9, 2016 (8pm) one of America’s premier Beatles tribute bands- Liverpool Live is scheduled to play the Boca Black Box in Boca Raton.

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have seen Liverpool Live and the Orlando based band has The Beatles down pat- with one exception- its “Paul” isn’t a southpaw!

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats just picked up a pair of discount-tickets on goldstar.com.

If you are into Beatles’ tribute bands/shows- trust Jeff Eats when I tell you, that you- will absolutely love Liverpool Live!

If you need some convincing as to how “convincing” these guys are, checkout the videos at TheBandGuys.com and bocablackbox.com.

By the way, the Boca Black Box seats something like 250. Every seat in the house works- so don’t be “concerned”” about purchasing Discount Tickets from goldstar.com for this venue!

One final thought, on May 21, 2916 Liverpool Live sold the Boca Black Box “OUT”- so if you wanna go…

Liverpool Live is the No. 1 working Beatles tribute band in the state of Florida. They perform note-for-note copies of the Beatles’ best music — from The White Album to Abbey Road — with period-authentic equipment, costumes and amps, just like the ones used by the Fab Four.

This group has played it all from corporate shows to sold out theaters. See them when they bring the Beatles to the Boca Back Box.
