#8: The best pizza in Florida: Nona Slice House in Safety Harbor
Nona Slice house is some of the best pizza in Florida. Our own Bob Carskadon got to try their slices this year and he couldn’t stop raving about them. Be sure to try the Olde’ World and Detroit pizzas while you’re there. Anything with the “Fire in the Hive” local hot honey drizzle and Cup ‘n’ char pepperoni is golden.
