Jeff Eats loves… this hole in the wall-takeout only-cash only Italian joint’s pizza.

No ifs ands or buts, Grandpa’s “slice” could make it Brooklyn or for that matter The Bronx!

Here’s the original writeup…don’t forget it’s cash only!

Got something real-good for you Bonita Springs-folks…

Grandpa’s Pizza & Pasta…a hole in the wall that makes delicious pizzas, pastas, salads, strombolis/calzones, subs. This is a cash-only affair (there’s an ATM in the store) and don’t plan on eating there, because it’s takeout only.

The other day, Jeff Eats and a couple of buddies were in Bonita Springs to checkout some “musical acts” at The Stage (see review 8/28/11) and heard about Grandpa’s from some locals…

No fooling around here…one of the best New York Style pizzas I’ve had in a very long time…same for the ricotta/mozzarella/ham calzone, meat lasagna and chicken parm sub.

You can check Grandpa’s menu/prices at www.grandpaspizza.net.

From what I understand, Grandpa’s has been around for something like 34 years…so I’m thinking that I’m not so crazy on how good I think the food was.

Grandpa’s Pizza & Pasta is open Monday-Saturday 11am-9:30pm, closed on Sunday

Thus contest started on 11/15/23. This contest has a winner.

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.

***** Mash Hoagies, 190 Malabar Road, Suite #119, Palm Bay, Florida 32907, 321) 723-6274.

Got a real good hoagie joint for you guys to checkout, Mash Hoagies in Palm Bay.

Simple tale to tell, yesterday Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “discovered” Mash Hoagies and its food absolutely killed!

Order/pickup at counter, inside table & booth seating, reasonably priced hot & cold subs (excuse me!) hoagies/ salads/ other stuff menu, open Monday – Saturday 10:30am – 8pm, Sunday: 11am – 7pm.

Now you guys and I both know that there are more hoagie joints in Florida than there are Chins in a Chinese phonebook! With that in mind, I gotta tell you, that this is the first hoagie joint that I’ve come across, that has a handful of sandwiches named after the characters in the old Mash tv show!

That said, trust Jeff Eats on this one, Mash Hoagies is turning out some real good stuff!

Let’s wrap-up Mash Hoagies by saying, if the joint was a whole lot closer to Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ Boca Raton abode, we would be real steady customers and you guys can check menu/prices/info at mashhoagiespalmbay.com.

* Humor!

A gynaecologist was having an affair.

One day his mistress was in his office and he said to her, “Just for something different, let’s just have a cup of coffee and a chat.”

Through his window he saw his wife walking into his office and in a panic said to his lover, “Quick take your pants off and jump up on the examination table, this way my wife won’t get suspicious.”

When you guys eat in this joint, you’ll swear that it’s 1957 and that you’re back in Brooklyn!(Please feel free to change location that works for you).
