Locals Favorite Pizza Place – Panama Pizzeria

If you want some good local Italian food, you’ve got to check out Panama Pizzeria, formerly Joey’s on the Beach II.  This quaint pizza joint is located at the Y of Highway 79 and Front Beach Road and is perfect for a quiet date night, watching the game or taking your baseball team for a treat after taking the win.

I’ve eaten there a number of times in the past and have always enjoyed the fun atmosphere, good service and delicious food.  Of course, what’s more is the affordable price.  You can usually get in and out of there fur less than $12 for lunch for two.

One of the funnest aspects was the traditional style by which the food is prepared, namely the high tosses of the pizza dough.  This was a show to enjoy.  With several TV adorning the walls, this is a great place to catch the game and a cold beer.

Another cool thing is that they’ll put just about anything you want on a pizza.  I had a supreme and my wife got a vegetarian special with broccoli and all.

The food was great, the atmosphere fun and good times were had by all.

Breakfast Point Marketplace: Now a Thriving Shopping and Dining Area

Remember when Breakfast Point Marketplace was just a new Publix grocery store and then to the delight of just about everyone, a Dunkin’ Donuts? In a seemingly short space of time, this centrally located shopping and dining area has transformed from a relatively empty space to a busy center that now offers many conveniences and some of our favorite names. I can’t even remember what I did before this handy little plaza came to be – but I do know that I would be lost without it! Breakfast Point Marketplace is a wonderful addition to Panama City Beach, and now that most of its stores are open for business, here’s a rundown of what you can find there.

Airport Traffic up almost 200% Over Last Year, Despite Oil Crisis

In a recent airport authority board meeting, Airport Director reported to the board that traffic at the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport was up almost 200% over the traffic at the old Panama City airport during June of 2009.  This is great news as traffic is higher than anticipated and surely a shot in the arm to our local economy and shot over the bow of airport nay-sayers.
