The Biggest Pizza in Ocala

March 3, 2013 by Julie 63 Comments

I know this may sound a little lame, but Ryan and I have a good time running errands together. Yesterday we spent the day out and about in Ocala and ended up discovering the biggest pizza in town in the process. Not a bad way to end the day!

Our first errand took us to Plato’s Closet, a clothing resale shop. I took a cue from The Happiness Project and went through my winter clothes earlier in the week to clear out sweaters and other warm-weather gear that I didn’t wear this season. We were told it would take them 45 minutes to go through my stuff and since Plato’s Closet is located in a strip mall, Ryan and I had no trouble wasting time while we waited.

While Ryan got a haircut, I browsed around in TJMaxx. You know I never struggle to find things I like in that store!

Isn’t that dress adorable? Sadly it looked 10 times better on the hanger than it did on me, so it was a no-go.

In the end, I bought a navy lace top that I thought was really cute.

And some chocolate!

Baci

My family and I fell in love with Baci chocolate when we were in Italy a couple of years ago and I couldn’t resist. Chocolate and hazelnut is a winning combination in my book!

When we popped back into Plato’s Closet, I was pumped when they offered me $30 for my clothes! I usually feel lucky to get $10, so $30 felt like a big-time score.

Before heading home for the evening, Ryan and I had a Groupon o use and stopped into Brooklyn’s Original Pizzeria.

My meal began with a Greek salad.

And then the feast began.

Check out our pizza!

It was massive and absolutely delicious.

We also ordered some wings in Brooklyn sauce that I surprisingly liked an awful lot! When it comes to wings, I’m usually rather indifferent, but these were fantastic!

I ate two and a half pieces of pizza and a bunch of wings and went home feeling full and happy.

A simple Saturday!

I’ll be back soon with a race recap of today’ trail run. It was a blast!

Question of the Afternoon

  • Is there a place that sells giant pizza around you?

When I was in college, Lazy Moon was the go-to place for GIANT pizza!

    We have a place in Colorado Springs called Boriello Brothers. It’s huge NY pizza and its sooo good, and cheap compared to most othe places. They keep their prices low because they are so wildly popular here. 18″ pizzas baby!

        Hi Rachel! What a small world – I live in Melbourne too! The name of the place is “A NY Pizza House” and it’s on A1A. It’s nothing fancy, but the food is good and the pizzas and calzones are huge! Nice to “meet” you! 🙂

    Yes there is! I’m thinking it might be a NY Style pizza thing, because the pizzeria that sells NY Style pizza here sells pizza slices as big as my head!

    I LOVE that you mentioned Lazy Moon! As a UCF student (several years ago) who lived on campus and didn’t have a car, it was one of my favorite place to go for dinner.
