It’s no secret that many Floridians today originally lived somewhere else. Some of those Floridians – often from Detroit, Chicago, or New York – will tell you that Florida doesn’t have great pizza, mostly due to the water.
However, Floridians who have lived in Florida their entire lives will counter and say that if you have an open mind, Florida has some great pizza offerings such as Piesanos in The Villages and Gainesville’s Satchel’s Pizza.
Unfortunately, one Florida pizzeria chain that many Floridians consider worthy has abruptly closed the doors to two locations with little explanation.
About Biggie’s Pizza: New Yorkers who have moved to Florida may be interested in this place, which specializes in New York-style pizza. The restaurant claimed superior food at fair prices and grew to have 3 locations – the first of which opened in 2016.
In 2022, Biggie’s was nationally recognized by being named one of Yelp’s Top 100 Places for Pizza in the U.S.
Jacksonville patrons at one of the locations in question give Biggie’s high marks, as it earns 4.4 out of 5 stars on Google reviews. Phases used to describe the food are “amazing,” “fresh,” and “satisfying.”
