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.
