Do I even need to finish the equation? If it seems as though you can’t go wrong with that combination it’s because no matter which way you add, subtract, multiply or divide those three items the answer is always positive. Add in some good friends and an amazing local pizza bar and you have an equation sure to satisfy.

This equation recently equaled an incredibly good time when my friend Alyssa invited myself and our friends Ashley, Rachele, and Allison, to join her for pizza and beer at The Broadway Pizza Bar in Downtown Old-Town Kissimmee, Florida. And – if you’re looking for good, homemade, fresh, doughy pizza in the area, this place is arguably the best! From the beer, to the (full) wine list, to the fresh flavors, and front porch (usually with live music on the weekends), this little gem makes you feel like you have stumbled upon a local secret, while welcoming you in the only way a local pizza joint can: providing quality comfort food in a family friendly atmosphere, that makes you feel like mama and papa are cooking in the back while their guests enjoy the “party” out front. It’s a nice place to catch a game, or, ya know, just go out with some good friends for pizza and beer. Because, really, sometimes you don’t need a reason for pizza and beer. (Do you ever really need a reason?)

After putting in our drink order (again did I mention Broadway Pizza Bar has a full wine list, and a large selection of beer?) we decided to try a cross section of their menu. Starting with Broadway’s Garlic Knots. These little knots will tie you up in their freshness and buttery garlic spread coating that can only be found in the South (as these little devils appear to be a direct combination of a Paula Deen recipe + an Italian garlic bread-roll=yum!) These knots did not last long:

In addition we also indulged in Broadway’s garlic bread. Fresh baked French bread is covered in buttery garlic goodness and served with pizza sauce. Good stuff:

Then came the stars of the night: the PIZZA. We ordered two pies for sharing:

The first was the classic half cheese, half pepperoni. Cooked to perfection, and served hot, this cheeeeeesy pizza melts in your mouth as you wash it down with the beer of your choice.

For a fancier option, we also ordered a modified veggie pizza. We enjoyed a fresh baked pizza topped with tomatoes, black olives, onions, green peppers, and ground beef. It was a divine combination of fresh cheese, veggies and meat piled high on top of a crust with the perfect thickness to crunch ratio. No “to-go” box needed here:
