Since moving to Tennessee in 1998, the Snob family has visited the Florida Panhandle most every year, sometimes going both in the spring and late summer. When the kids were still young Snobs, we visited the Destin side of what we Southerners call the “Redneck Riviera.” Later, when it became just Mrs. Pie and me, we moved our vacations east to the less family-centric 30-A side.

However, this year, we decided for old times’ sake to revisit Destin. This trip was both our first two-week vacation since our honeymoon and our first time to ever visit the Gulf in the cooler late fall. Before getting to the first of my three pizza visits during this stay, let me say that although it was long-sleeve and sweatpants weather on the beach, the fresh air and sunshine was incredibly pleasant!
