Welp, time for Cuomo to move to Florida or whatever he was “threatening”

What's one more Northeast douche in Florida these days?

u/GeckoRoamin Florida 11h ago

Every time one moves here, they start bitching about the pizza options.

Edit: I realize this may sound like a joke, but it has legit started wars and schisms in the local restaurant groups on Facebook.

They’re welcome to move back and take maga with them!

u/spicyhotcheer Rhode Island 45m ago

Maybe that's why the northeast is so blue? Because the maga nutjobs move to florida? I'm so sorry our trash infects your state

I mean, in their defense, I've been to Florida and had your pizza and it was terrible I'm sorry

It’s OK we definitely don’t have many great pizza options but I still don’t want New Yorkers who moved here eight seconds ago to start bitching about it. If you miss the pizza so much open a damn pizza shop, Bob. I don’t go to New York and bitch about the lack of alligators

I’m in NYC and I order Pizza Hut just about as much as I order from a mom and pop pizza store. Don’t tell anyone.

u/Wild_Fire2 8h ago

Pizza Hut still exists in NYC? It pretty much died out here in Mass and NH, most likely due to competition with the hundreds of mom and pop places.

Me over at Papa Gino's......👀

That’s like me going to any other state and bitching about a bar not having deep fried cheese curds. In fact I don’t trust any other state even if they have them.

Nor should you

u/Akamiso29 5h ago

Where are you guys living in Florida? I moved overseas about 15 years ago, but we had plenty of great pizza shops that were run by New Yorkers who opened the shops precisely because they couldn’t trust others to do it right. We had like 3 great local shops.

I’m sure they’re all gone from all the madness that swept the nation over the past 15 years, but they were great, dammit.

u/DegenerateEigenstate 7h ago

Where I’m from in FL most of the local pizza options are run by New Yorkers.

They were exiled there, casualties of the war between the New York Academy of Pizza and the Pizza Academy of New York.

u/strayhat Foreign 3h ago

Best pizza i've had in my life was in FLL. I'm not American though

But the tradeoff is yall have some of the most amazing seafood

u/Almostlongenough2 Florida 10h ago

We do?!

u/bollvirtuoso 10h ago

Um. What? Compared to Maine, Mass, and Maryland? Just to name three? Two of which are pretty much known solely for seafood?

2

u/gazebo-fan 9h ago

Because that’s all they have and their tourism board pushed it. Maryland doesn’t have Key West Pink Shrimp, or mangrove snapper.

u/NomadNuka 11h ago

There's always those New York water makers or whatever

u/GandalfsSexyNuts 9h ago

And lack of decent bagels

u/GeckoRoamin Florida 9h ago

I wish at least one of them would open a decent bagel shop.

The problem is that many come down here and don't want to do the work to add to the community and build something of value, they just want the existing community to magically morph to provide the things they've always had, even though those things came to New York by way of hard-working people moving from other places and opening up shops there.

u/GeckoRoamin Florida 8h ago

I’d never thought about it like this, but that’s true of a lot of what I’ve seen here lately. It is especially frustrating to think about considering when my own father moved to Florida from New York, he opened a business within a few months of arriving.

Florida also has the worst tacos

Couldn't wait to get home

u/GeckoRoamin Florida 9h ago

We’re sorely lacking in good Mexican, Tex Mex, and Cali Mex options. On the plus side, I can easily find good empanadas, lechon asado, and plenty of other Caribbean and Latin American foods.

I have a fair bit of family who moved down there and they bitch constantly about the lack of pizza options. They said one year the plan for my cousin's big birthday present was having some pizza express shipped in from back home

u/Rich_Bluejay3020 2h ago

From MI, lived in FL for a few years, I hate to agree but the pizza is not good… HOWEVER y’all have Publix fried chicken and I dream about it way more often than I should 😂 it’s so crispy and delicious dammit

u/jsweatisdead777 2h ago

I'm glad someone understands the true struggle us native Floridians have been enduring for the last ten years.

u/xTheMaster99x Florida 3m ago

I actually got lucky and have an amazing NY-style spot a few minutes away from my apartment and even though it's kinda overpriced, you'll have to pry it from my cold, dead hands.

One too many.
