For most people, pizza is a favorite food and it’s great to know that here in Fort Myers, one pizzeria ranked 3rd in the state for New York style pizza.
When it comes to pizza, I pretty much like all. Growing up in Chicago, I am bias to Chicago style pizza. I enjoy a good thin crust loaded with toppings. My go-to is sausage, onion and green pepper. But I also like deep dish with a delicious buttery crust for when I’m feeling really hungry. But you can’t go wrong with New York style pizza, Detroit style pizza, Roman, Sicilian and Tavern style. I like it all. I love that here in SWFL you can get lots of different kinds and one Fort Myers pizzeria ranked 3rd in the entire state of Florida for New York style pizza.
The Washington Post just put out a list of the best regional style pizza in each state.
They looked at 7.5 million Yelp reviews to find out the best regional pizza styles in each state. Uncle Rico’s in Fort Myers is a place I’ve been hearing everyone RAVING about. Their Yelp page has completely blown up and they’re talked about regularly in every foodie group I’m in on Facebook. I haven’t been yet, but as if I needed another reason to try it, ranking 3rd in the entire state for New York pizza is a HUGE deal. Uncle Rico’s is located at 2960 Cleveland Avenue. You can check out their menu here.

Florida 's Favorite Pizza Chains: Ranked
It’s a rainy Florida weekend and you’re stuck with the same dilemma. Can’t decide which pizza to order for pizza night. My go-to is a frozen pizza from Aldi’s that I add cheese and other toppings, but there are times when I want something fresh and delivered. I go for a classic cheese with pepperoni though. Pretty much every time!
It doesn’t matter if you like your pizza thin, crispy, thick, crusty, or full of sauce, everyone has a favorite. TOP Agency recently released a report indicating that each state has a different preference for pizza. What is the number one preference in 2022 for Florida? Let us find out!
The 2022 Pizza Consumption Index, a study of the pizza preferences and eating habits of more than 12M U.S. adults, says Little Caesars is the most popular pizza chain in the country. 16 states chose Little Caesar’s as their current go-to. It’s possible that Little Caesar’s low price is attracting a bigger crowd since inflation is taking such a big bite out of everyone’s budget. Godfathers and Domino’s came in second and third, respectively. Here is a breakdown of the top 5 spots for a slice (or two or three?) of pizza in Florida. Florida’s pizza preference for 2022 actually surprised me. I thought we’d follow the trend and choose Little Caesar’s, but as you’ll see, they are all the way down at number 4.
It’s a rainy Friday and a perfect time to order in. Here’s the top 5 pizza chains in Florida.
