With vacation time winding down on the Florida Panhandle, my search for Destin-area pizza to try did not look at all promising. After checking out the websites of a few pizza joints, the pictures I saw of their wares bought forth zero interest. Plain and simple, the Snob doesn’t like fat sloppy pies full of way too much cheese and dough. However, in expanding my horizon to include Italian restaurants, I was super glad to have discovered the fabulous Mimmo’s Ristorante Italiano.

It’s now a fact that in a given situation, it will sometimes take a Neapolitan pizza to satisfy the Snob, and this would be the case with Mimmo’s. Located in a newly developed strip center on the eastern side of Destin, I took a solo trip there one weekday to grab a pie for lunch. Little did I know at the time how much I would enjoy the place. So much so, that I would later take Mrs. Pie there for dinner that same day.
