Just looked it up - really hate i never ate there when i lived in pcola many years ago. Shows high reviews Wish I would have known when you lived there. I grew up in Pensacola, but moved away for years when I joined the Coast Guard. We could have had a Beer.
Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.
My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

Not Gulf Shores, but if you're ever in Pensacola, Founaris Brothers is the best pizza in Pensacola. We had lunch there today. The Meat Lovers Pizza is our favorite. They have other stuff too. It's a Greek restaurant. I will drive the hour for Greek & pizza! That is my all time fav!

So we went to Crico's last night after we had been out running errands. We get there and we decided on what pizza we wanted and I asked about drinks and she pointed to a fast food style fountain drink dispenser. I asked if they had any beer on draft. She said they don't serve beer. Before I could get another word out of my mouth, Boho pipes up and says, "Cancel our order, we're outta here."  Boho loves her man! What kind of pizza place doesn't serve beer? Seriously? What are we now? Cici's Pizza? Mormon Tabernacle Pizza? Sheeze... We had a great pizza place in Summerville, Ga. Crushed Tomato. Great wood fired pizza, but no beer. We've been there twice. I'm not driving 45 minutes so I can drink water with my pizza. So we ended up going back up the street a block and landed back at Papa Rocco's. Last time our pizza wasn't done enough and I talked to the waiter about it, and he said that my problem last time was that their ovens weren't working properly and they got new ovens. He assured me everything would be fine this time. Happy hour at Papa Rocco's runs from like 3:00pm to 7:00pm and there's usually a lot of locals at the bar for good reason. Well drinks, certain beer and house wines are all $3.50, which is great drink prices down here. Boho ordered a glass of Pino Grigio and I had a bourbon on the rocks $3.50 each, we also ordered two side salads that were really big and had tomatoes, onions, pepperoni, diced ham, cucumber and black olives on it along with their house made ranch dressing. Really nice salads for $5.95 each. We also ordered Papa Deluxe, a 14" pizza with Pepperoni, onions, sausage, green peppers and mushrooms. It was only $15.95. It was cooked great, tasted great, great crust, great sauce flavor. We had 4 pieces of pizza left over for a snack or lunch the next day. This will be our regular pizza place down here. The food and drinks are very reasonable, the atmosphere is chill and local, the service is great and the food is great. I don't know what else you can ask for in a pizza joint. Oh... They have raw oysters and other Italian dishes too! The pizza at Brick Oven may be slightly better, but all the other stuff makes Papa Rocco's pull into the lead. And I'm not even going to try Crico's because they broke my rule that a pizza place must serve beer. Pro Tip: Get extra Ranch dressing for dipping the crust in. It's damn good Ranch. Remember friends: Pizza is really good bread with some stuff on it. The pizza cruse is the foundation of good pizza. If you fail on the crust, you have failed. Period. End of story. ![[Linked Image from live.staticflickr.com]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55269400668_6680295944_4k.jpg)

[quote=BobK]Man that looks good Like it when the pepperoni is crispy on the edge. That's a good looking pie "I'm not kidding when I say it was possibly the best pie we have had down here so far. I would put it up against any pizza in Birmingham and there's some good pizza in Birmingham." Have you tried Troup's in Cahaba Heights?

Papa Rocco's has long been my favorite pizza place down there and I was disappointed when the thread started. That Seafood Primavera Pizza is so good that I started making it at home. Try it next time. That being said if you are picking one up Janinos is mighty fine.

I am still shocked that you can have a pizza place AT THE BEACH (or anywhere) and not serve beer and think it's ok. It is not. If I'm in business, it's not for my health. It is to get wealthy and on what principals would you base such a stupid decision on? Is it because your staff is all under 21 and can't serve it? BTW, the Piggly Wiggly in Port St. Joe doesn't sell beer for this reason. Bizarre. I am not a beer drinker but those that are, even occasionally, want beer with their pizza.

Now telling how many times I've driven by Papa Roccos and never stopped. It's 4 miles from where we've stayed for many years in GS. I'll put it on the list to try. Good to know about the happy hour prices too.
BTW, per Google their happy hour is 11am - 7pm Mon - Friday, excluding holidays. Wished I'd known that all these years
The left lane is for the the purpose of moving the flow of traffic forward regardless of the speed limit. If your impeding the flow of traffic get your ass in the right lane. It's really that simple...

Papa Bill was one hell of a funny man, could sing pretty good and was the life of the party up until he passed last summer.
