New York New York Pizza

March 15, 2019

Have you ever walked into a place and felt an instant connection? That pretty much sums up my first visit to New York New York Pizza almost two years ago. A friend brought me there for a few slices and ever since, New York New York has had a pizza my heart.

With multiple locations in Tampa Bay which include Hyde Park, Riverview, Wesley Chapel, West Chase, Carrollwood, the Tampa International Airport, and the original in Ybor, New York New York is a Tampa tradition. Serving up New York Style Pizza in addition to wings, burgers, subs, pasta, chicken dishes, eggplant dishes, and more, New York New York offers something for everyone.

My absolute favorite is their Grandma Pie. Made with fresh mozzarella, plum tomatoes, garlic, basil and olive oil, it is my go-to slice. Doesn’t it go great with my pizza purse?

New York New York inspires not only my fashion, but my nails as well.

Aside from their great food, they have some pretty incredible murals adorning their walls. Everything is super instagramable.

There is nothing more that I enjoy than spending time exploring Ybor and stopping by New York New York Pizza for a slice of their incredible pie. I dare you to walk by without being intoxicated by the scent of their pizza.

Another one of my favorite things about New York New York Pizza is their staff. Everyone is like family and they make you feel right at home. Ybor is blessed to have Alicia (below) and Arber (second below).

These two, along with the rest of the incredible staff, are the heart and soul of New York New York Pizza.

I have teamed up with New York New York for a giveaway of a two, $25 gift certificates both here and on Instagram. You can enter below and a winner will be selected on Tuesday, March 19th. Good luck!

Mirro’s Pizzeria

March 5, 2019

I am always looking for great pizza in Tampa Bay and love sharing my findings with all of you. Last week my children and I were invited to try Mirro’s Pizzeria in South Tampa, and were pleasantly surprised.

Located at 2307 S. Dale Mabry, Mirro’s Pizzeria is a quintessential neighborhood spot that you will just adore. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by our server, Natalie, and owner, Skip. I knew right away that we were going to have a special night.

The look and feel inside is just sexy. Lots of red and black, with the scent of freshly baked pizza in the air. You can’t help but feel the positive energy when you step inside.

I wanted to try a few things on the menu, so I started out with their house salad with goat cheese. It was HUGE! Salad before pizza is a must for me. I was really impressed by the freshness of the produce.

Meatballs are one of my favorites, so I just had to try a trio of their “Polpette di Antonio” with Ricotta. If you try these meatballs, I want you to comment on this post with the distinct flavor that you will discover when tasting them. Needless to say, I devoured them all and still wanted more.

Mirro’s features two styles of pizza: New York and Italiana. My kids wanted New York Style, so they made their own creation. While all pizza is my favorite, I tried the Italian style with roasted tomatoes, mozzarella, garlic, olive oil and fresh basil.

The tag-line for Mirro’s is “Fold It, Don’t Fork It.” Of course, that caught my eye. Trust me on this, you will love folding their pizza and enjoying every last bite.

South Tampa is really blessed to have Mirro’s Pizzeria in the neighborhood. Their pizza will make a great addition to your next event or movie night at home.

A visit to Mirro’s is not complete without dessert. We enjoyed a duo of cannolis and it was the perfecting ending to our evening.

I have teamed up with Mirro’s for a $50 gift certificate giveaway. You can enter by clicking below. Contest ends on Tuesday, March 12th and noon and the winner will be notified via email. Good luck and be sure to visit Mirro’s the next time you are craving pizza!
