We have not been here since Irma so have questions... 1 - Where to go for the best lobster 2 - Where to go for the best pizza 3 - Staying at Simpson Bay our first week. How much should we tip the guy who sets out our chair? So, so happy to be back!!!

Thermador. We Love the Pizza a Isola at Simpson Bay Resort. I'd say a few bucks for the chair guy. Attached Images

Best to check ahead on prices and/ or availability: 😊😊 Respectfully, pat "Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them."

Have to check the special board before booking a table. From the NYC area, I give Driftwood high marks for there pizza!! Anyone remember the old Dodge truck and old rowboat-bar?? When ordering a large pie, get a free drink! Back in the day! I still say that those gal's make the best island drinks!! Oh and there infused olive oils are amazing! Sand Gravity, got to love it!

Thin firm crust with just the right amount of char on the bottom and edges. They’re in the Leader Price shopping center in Mount Vernon on the second level.

The pizza next to us looked like a pre-formed pizza shell. I think with the major increase in business they do not make their own pizzas any more Going back about 10 years we told the pizza lady how to make a stuffed crust. Not sure if we will be back for pizza as we already have Pizza Italy and Isola lined up for pizza
