You may not expect to find New York Style Pizza in South Alabama, but then again you may not really NEED a slice. So with a little research prior to my trip, I found the prospect of Papa’s Pizza in the town of Daphne, just east of Mobile. Papa’s is just a 1/2 mile south of I-10, just east of Mobile Bay on Hwy 98.
Papa’s may also be home to the world’s largest slices. Fortunately I only ordered two slices (I often order 3). I was disappointed at first to see the pizzas being cooked on a conveyer belt (Lose 10 points on the Sliker Rating System). But then the Slice Pie started peeking out of the little conveyer belt oven and I couldn’t believe my eyes– a 28″ pizza pie! I am tempted to give it extra points for having Extra Large Slices, but thought better of it.
Overall score on the Sliker Scale is a 90, on the Yummy Scale it gets 3.5 out of 5 stars. Their take out menu says they have a website at www.papaspizzadaphne.com, but I get a dead link.
