Slice of America: Charred in the Florida SunA true fish-out-of-water story, or should we say, a pizza-out-of-Connecticut story, about a New
Haven-native with a love for the town’s beloved “apizza” (pronounced: ah-beetz), who does the
impossible by bringing the charred, thin-crusted, best pizza in the world to southern Florida.
In Slice of America, episode one, Charred in the Florida Sun, Jimmy Fantin opens Fantini’s “New
Haven Style” Apizza in the small coastal town of Stuart, Florida. With the support of loyal
Connecticut snowbirds jonesing for a slice of home, and a rave review from One Bite’s Dave
Portnoy, Fantini’s thrives and becomes a hub for pizza in Florida, with pizza-lovers driving a
hundred miles or more for just a taste of one of Jimmy’s pies.
Director Gorman Bechard, the filmmaker behind the documentary Pizza A Love Story (and 20
other feature-films), and host/pizza historian Colin M. Caplan lead us on this amusing journey of
pizza love and perfection. You will laugh, learn about the origins of pizza, and fall in love with
Jimmy’s passion. But mostly you will leave hungry, wanting to experience Fantini’s New Haven
Style Apizza for yourself.
