Going out for a bite to eat, or a sweet treat, can be the escape we all need in this otherwise crazy world. Here are a few new eateries in Southwest Florida to keep your eye on!
Fort Myers
Blaze Pizza
This pizza chain, known for its blazing-fast pizza, opened it’s first Gulf-Coast location across from the Bell Tower Shops. Though Blaze pizza is known for its speed, do not mistake it for a fast food restaurant! Blaze pizza uses real ingredients including never-frozen dough, no-nitrate meats, non-colored vegetables, and homemade salad dressing that is preservative-free. If you needed any more convincing to check out this new pizza joint, know that it is backed by none other than Lebron James!

Bonita Springs
Pelican Snoballs
When we saw the iconic Bonita ice cream swirl close its doors earlier this year, we were afraid it would be torn down! Luckily, Pelican Snoballs bought the location and gave it a makeover. This franchise serves up REAL snow cones, not the icey ones you are used too! Inspired by a New Orleans tradition, they use smooth fluffy snow and combine it with bold flavors to create delicious frozen treats. After your first visit, you will never think of snow cones the same way again!

The mom-and-pop restaurant serves up authentic Mediterranean dishes including gyros, tabbouleh, fattoush, falafel, hummus, baba ganoush, spanakopita, and of course, delicious baklava. The new restaurant also offers family meals for dine-in and carryout!
