Post Corner Pizza, Clearwater

The murals of the Greek Islands in the buffet rooms at Post Corner Pizza bespeak the Sofronas family's heritage, which is equally evident in the restaurant's white stucco exterior and even in its pizza. The Sofronas brothers perfected a pan-pizza recipe, which is still kept a carefully guarded secret, when they moved from their Greek hometown to the United States. Maria, the daughter of one of the Sofronas brothers, now helms the shop, serving pan pizzas with signature crusts that are "not too soft and not too crisp" alongside traditional Greek specialties. She combines both types of cuisine with her Grecian pizza, topped with ricotta, feta, and fresh spinach, which, she jokes, is her favorite menu item because she created it. Every night, diners can look out through windows or across the outdoor patio at an orange sunset over the ocean waves. For those staying in nearby hotels, condos, or caves hidden inside rocky cliffs, staffers deliver steaming pizzas free of charge.
