Favorite Pizza in SoWal

haven't tried Pickle Factory yet. . but I do want to try their pizza as long as there are no pickles on it. I detest a pickle of any kind.

this thread has covered a lot of ground. I would like to add the following:
1. SoWal is blessed with so many great pizzas its scary wonderful!
2. I would rather have a canned coke any day; fountain drinks just don't cut it. so many restaurants respond with "is Pepsi okay?" and I always say okay but its so not okay.
3. Stinky's is a top notch establishment in SoWal. The food is fine, the owner is great and the name stands for a most wonderful place to eat seafood and have some fun. The name is quite funn, imo. and it has sentimental meaning for those in the know.
4. Good luck to Pickle Factory - I can't wait to give it a try - I've heard many wonderful things. just don't put a pickle on my pizza, pleeeeze! So convenient to have a pizza place in Grayton for when we're on our way home starving after a full afternoon/evening at the beach!

You're safe toots, they currently do not have pickles, but hope to add them in the future.

I will be disappointed if they do not have a great big jar of BA pickles on their counter;-). not for me (yuck), but for those who wander in wanting pickles. or a dude dressed in a giant pickle costume standing outside the door greeting customers. AT the very least!

The signature pizza has sauerkraut?

:aside: La Mercadito has mexican coke in a bottle. Made from sugar cane.

I try to visit every other week for a bottle coke from south of the border, made sans high fructose corn syrup, and one of their delicious lunch items.

Cacoon's also carries those Cokes, John at Yellow Fin got me hooked on them.

I believe the term is "Cut off your nose to spite you face".

Hey SWGB, if you must correct people get it correct! It is "Cut off your nose to spite "your" face versus "you face".

I don't ever pretend to be perfect. I make mistakes, however when I do correct someone I try and get it correct!

My 2 cents worth...an opinion is just that...someone else's opinion!!!!!...while I might like a certian establishment's pizza or not.....that does not rule it out and should NOT rule it out for others to try. No one's pizza is the same...I say TRY THEM ALL, and YOU make your own decision! I make this challenge...try them all, but do not diss any of them...one man's pizza is another's pie...I don't care what some one else's culinary opinion is...I will make my own determinations!

Regarding the tea refills-

I read that Jeff said the policy is that the first refill is free. IMHO, what should be happening is this-

Geo orders a tea (and drinks it) with an understanding that he is paying for it...
WE'RE GOOD...

Geo is thirsty and orders a tea refill (and drinks it) working under an ASSumption that there is no charge because it is customary that tea refills are free...
WE'RE STILL GOOD...

Geo is still thirsty so he orders another refill. AT THIS POINT, WHOEVER I ASKED FOR IT SHOULD VERBALLY INFORM ME THAT THERE IS A CHARGE FOR THIS NEXT ONE. At that point, I can make an informed decision and there are no surprises later...

This is a communication issue IMHO...

Regardless- I L-O-V-E the Pickle Factory!!!

I don't pretend to be perfect either. I was trying to be helpful. I'm sorry that you were offended, but now my New York Italian heritage is offended so I guess we are even. In the future I will make a point to use plenty of smilies to get the point across that I'm not being a scolding schoolmarm.

I'm no expert on grammar, but I believe you made a run-on sentence and left out two commas.

"I make mistakes. However, when I do correct someone, I try and get it correct."

I completey agree Geo. Had we known that there had been a policy change, we wouldn't have bogarted our drinks. But to add the excuse of "well, I make it fresh myself" and "we're trying to make some extra money" kinda sucked.

Either way, I do love the place and will be back.

Finally someone said it! If you don't like something you should tell management and owners. Don't slam them on your opinion , in a thread.

Hey SWGB, thanks for the post. I do enjoy all of your posts.

Who has the best pizza in sowal, and why?

My personal favorite is Hot and Cold in Watercolor. As far as I know they are the only place to use the cold proofing method for their dough. It is the best pizza I have had in my life. I know there are a lot of places serving pizza now, and I haven't made it to many of them. What have been your experiences?

Jordano's on 98 just West of Sandestin. Hand-thrown crust, lots of cheese and fresh ingredients.

I believe this is the most recent of several recent pizza threads here .... Pizza in SOWAL and then there is The Pickle Factory

merged

Notes:

Sugar Pie's now Hot & Cold

New since original poll:
Johnny McTighe's - www.johnnymctighesirishpub.com

I love your pizza because the dough is so italian! and the ingredients too! look forward to the new chef!

Keep in mind that online polls can be a popularity contest. Some restaurants have a strong online and email presence and ask patrons for votes. There is nothing wrong with that, and it is good marketing and something to be admired and even copied. Some places have loyal and vocal customers for a reason - they have a good product.

Other restaurants don't market much and won't get a lot of votes. But getting good votes are probably a pretty good indication of success. On the flip side, an absence of votes might be a good indicator also, on the negative end.
