Welcome to Gigi’s

Florida, Road Trip

Way back in our courtship days, the two of us loved to go to Gigi’s for pizza, it was the only place we knew of that offered green olives as a pizza topping. Since then the original Pasadena, Florida location has closed but lucky for us the Newberne family still runs this wonderful Italian restaurant mini-chain and they have a location on Fourth Street North in St Petersburg, Florida, very convenient to our friend Vivian’s house where we often stay when we return to our former hometown. We timed our arrival today so that we could dine with Vivian here and take advantage of Gigi’s Wine Wednesday so we could nosh on delicious food, enjoy some Sangria, and catch up on one another’s lives as the first stage of our midwinter retreat to the sunshine.
