You never now where one might find good pizza -- and bagels.

I lived in North Naples, FL. There was a small pizza shop on a side street that made fantastic pizza. I would always bring friends and relatives there. It was non-descript, next to a beauty parlor.

One day I said the owner, an old guy, "I love your pizza. I haven't had any this good since eating pizza in New York City."

He smiled and said "my shop was in Brooklyn at ..."

In a plaza on the other end of the long block along the main drag (the Tamiami Trail) was a bagel place. They had fantastic bagels. Best since the ones I would pick up in NYC at the (former) Ess-A-Bagel store at 1st and 21st (I think). One day I mentioned this to the owner. He said "my shop was up on 57th."

These shops were their retirement hobbies. They both eventually sold, the quality dropped, etc.
