Pizza by the Sea has always been yummy and fun - now it's twice as yummy and fun! The owners have opened a second location in Gulf Place, in the space previously occupied by Amore Pizzeria.
It's a comfortable spot and very kid friendly - just like the original location beside Publix at WaterColor Crossings. The new location in Gulf Place has plenty of tables in an enclosed space. It's got a really nice feel with string lights and colorful tables. The trademark hand-painted pizza pans are starting to spread across the walls.
