keep in mind most people have no idea what real pizza is.

so that's why you hear a lot of recommendations that might leave you scratching your head.

i know those are fighting words to many. so let me just back this up by saying that my nonna was off the boat sicilian and made her own pizza from the sunday sauce. yes we called it sauce, gravy was for turkey. some italians do call it gravy. i dunno. i think it's how the various italian immigrant communities learned english. I never looked into it nor do i have the facility, but it would be interesting to see if there was any correlation to where in NYC or so the various enclaves set roots in and compare that to the usage of either gravy or sauce. now that i think about it, all the napolitan I know say gravy, all the sicilians say sauce. far from conclusive.

anyway- italian cafe on the beach road had a good pie- a little thin so I asked for double or smaller thicker pies.

sunrise club- even calzones. good focaccia.

the closest to ny style was at 23/7, but that's gone.

there are only one or two other places i have not tried or won't for various reasons.

there are other pizza in negril, there was another nice spot but it's done now too, so other than those two and an occasional pie from angela's, but that's where i tell people to go and where I go.

i heard a few nice things said about the pizza party at rhodes hall.

Why would you want pizza or anything for that matter just like you have at home? I go to Jamaica for the differences in food etc..
no offense jx2, but consider- there are some times when you need something other than a plate of chicken and hard and soft food. especially if you are down more than 7 days at a pop. jamaica is also not just a vacation spot, it's a country as well, with citizens and long term visitors that should be able to have whatever cuisines it wants to have. plenty of people in jamaica eat non jamaican foods and enjoy them, beyond fast food it's good to have other cuisines representing and using fresh Jamaican produce to do it. there was a dearly missed now thai spot on the west end for a while that had a wait of HOURS, and with reason, for example.

jamaica itself has a rich history of foods that all went into, and continues to go into, it's cuisine.

you wouldn't have half of what you probably enjoy eating as "jamaican" food if not for other cuisines coming into the picture and delivering the goods.
