Guess Where We're Eating!?

What once served as a Northerner's staple, utensil-free lunch has migrated south. With three locations in Broward County, this Italian eatery has been serving transplants and locals for more than a decade...

What once served as a Northerner's staple, utensil-free lunch has migrated south. With three locations in Broward County, this Italian eatery has been serving transplants and locals for more than a decade.

Serving as a game-day home for the Steel City fans who have made it this far, the restaurant's home state holds nearly 20 locations. They've been featured on the Food Network and the Travel Channel and have countless local awards for their pizza, sandwiches, and, for one location in particular, their convenient hours of operation.

Although this spot has a closing time, the earliest of the Florida locations sometimes serves as a home away from home tourist joint from those up North due to its nice beach placement.
