Sbarro (BRAND NEW!!!) at Coastland Center Mall. Pizza was as good as it gets. Mrs. is a New Yorker and judged it 5 stars. Perfect crust between thin and medium, GENEROUS toppings (pizza COVERED), and outer crust was just right - crunchy and tasty. Nice lunch special of two slices and a drink for $11.99 was perfect for us. Definitely going back.

IT'S PUBLIX ... Always clean, well stocked, but mostly the best experience grocery shopping because they do such a fine job of selecting and training their staff.

FREE ADMISSION FIRST SATURDAY OF EACH MONTH IF YOU'RE A COLLIER COUNTY RESIDENT. Nice smaller zoo, and just got Orangutans that were very active and playful. Best to go early and get on the boat tour to see the monkeys when they're most active as we've seen them swing and heard them sing. They are an absolute blast. (and they're more active when it's cooler!). Loved the feeding the giraffes as you get a great view since they're all pretty much out in the open. First Saturday of each month is free for Collier County Residents, so take advantage of that if you're local. You won't regret it.
