TJ'S GOURMET PIZZA CAFE – Italian
A block off the Gulf on Indian Rocks Beach, family-run since 1989 and still cooking from hundred-year-old family recipes. The brick oven turns out pizza, including a gluten-free crust that regulars rate highly, while the rest of the kitchen splits between Italian standards and whatever the Gulf sent in: local grouper, lobster ravioli, veal scaloppine, chicken parmesan, spaghetti and meatballs, seafood-stuffed mushrooms. Weekend brunch adds blueberry ricotta pancakes and a brunch pizza. Diners keep coming back for the garlic, the tiramisu and servers who remember them. A beach-town Italian that has earned its repeat trade.
