Most delicious pizza and breads and pastries. You can find the breads on the island at 44 North on Wednesdays or Saturdays, but visiting the bakery on one of the pizza nights is a really special experience. Located in a barn and old farmhouse in Brooksville, picnic tables in the garden make it a perfect venue for families. The food is stellar! Check out IG or FB for how to reserve. Planning ahead is essential! Tables book out fast.
