I don't eat out often in the area, but when I do I definitely have my personal favorites. If there's a spot I love, I'm for sure going to be a known and loyal customer. Here are some of my favorite local eats that I think everyone should be aware of and try!

You've heard me say this before, but Nunzio's pizza is the best in the area in my opinion. I love it SO much and I rave about it to my family. I don't indulge often because I'm trying to be healthy, but I'm a happy girl when I get to.
