What does everyone think the best Pizza in SOWAL is?

I've personally and unfortunately only had Bruno's and 30As (Which I wouldn't consider a Pizza place obviously.)

We loved the pizza at Pickle Factory but we're also fans of the European style pizza at Fat Clemenza's (west of Sandestin in a strip mall). We also like the pizza at Ciao Bella at the outlet mall for an inbetween thickness crust. Hubs liked pizza bar more than I liked it. Pizza by the Sea is good but not great. It's been years since I've tried Bruno's. We really liked Amore but that was an owner ago-we've not tried it in a long time either. When hubs and I stayed for 2 weeks we'd have pizza at least twice/trip but hubs didn't go this year and I never even had pizza this year. I like pizza but when I'm in SoWal for a week or two, pizza's not usually at the top of my to eat list!

I have to advise fellow sowal folks to avoid trying panama pizzeria. We gave it a shot yesterday and it was an all around negative experience. It was dirty, flies swarmed us constantly (inside), service was not good and the food really really not good. Normally I would never express dissatisfaction on a forum, but our experience was that bad. Lesson learned - Stick to our sowal pizza spots!!

oh, too bad! we had a good experience there a few months ago but things were much slower around here when we stopped in. Really enjoyed the pizza and manicotti! I like how they have a full Italian food menu, unlike most pizza places.

Fat Clemenza's is special in many ways in addition to their pizza - it is a nice place to go for pizza and a full menu of outstanding Italian food!

If you have not tried Crust on Hwy 98 in Santa Rosa Beach, then do it. Totally delicious!!!

Okay just got back from SOWAL and I only had the chance to try one pizza...and that was Fat Daddy's...I got the chicken pesto supreme...it was OK...nothing great and I will give Fat Daddy's another try and get something with marinara sauce instead of pesto...the 70 cent PBRs were a definite plus I'll tell you that much!

I want to try Amore next time I go. Is that worth going to?

Amore's current owners have the pizza up to the original standards!! Oh that caramella and Italian sausage....dang already started dinner. We bounce between Amore, Pizza by the Sea, and Pizza Bar for our favorite SoWal pizza, and I am really looking forward to trying Crust.

Ive always been biased to my moms homemade pizza (and it is epic) but im going to have to say, for delivery, you really cant be Hungry Howies. there pizzas are awesome, and the garlic flavored crust is a meal in itself.

As a huge fan of anything and everything Bud and Alley's we tried the Pizza Bar last night and it was pretty good and I would go back, BUT it did not wow me. That being said, the search is still on for best pizza in Sowal imo, might try Crust this week!

We got the oven baked dough with cheese for app and we split a marghareta with their homemade fennell sausage added and it was delicious! I'd give it a 7/10!

Now looking for that rare 9/10 or 10/10!
