Lillian's Pizza
We kept hearing how amazing Lillian's Pizza was and that we had to try it. So many people told us about the restaurant we knew it had to be good.
I have to admit they were right. The pizza was fantastic, the drinks tasted great, and the atmosphere was relaxed and fun.
We would happily drive back over to Perdido Key for Lillian's again soon. They have been open since 1989, so you know they have been doing something right!
I learned the difference between a stromboli and a calzone from reading Lillian's pizza menu.
A stromboli has pizza sauce, whereas a calzone has ricotta cheese.
Locals and tourists will love this great Perdido Key Pizza Restaurant. The entire family will find something delicious on the menu.
