Anatolia, Winter Park

I has lunch 2 at this pizzeria and restaurant across from Arigato (436) on Wednesday. I had a sausage sub for $4.50. It was infinitely more satisfying than the sushi I had for lunch 1. The sausage, onions, sauce and cheese were tasty. It was well toasted/melted in an ingenious rack made out of a pizza screen created by the manager. The place itself is kind of awful. As is the name. The manager told me it was because the owners are Turkish. But, you can't just name a place anything because you can. It confuses the customers. You are not selling Turkish cuisine. I don't associate quality Italian competence with the Turks. You even have a jalapeno pepper in your logo. How is that Italian? You are starting with one strike. Back to the place. The last owners ( a Puerto Rican place) combined two small spaces in a strip mall by breaking the wall in between. They did little to nothing in terms of decoration. Now the pizza oven is in one and the dining area is in the other. It's still sparsely decorated. They simply changed the wall art. It's also a little dark. It seats about 40. There were 9 people there for lunch. They serve (what is now becoming de rigeur) a multi-ethnic menu that ranges from Buffalo wings to ham sandwiches (and of course pizza, rolls and Italian sandwiches). The prices and service were good. As was the small sample of food I tried. I recommend it for what it is - a cheap, pizzeria/Italian restaurant.
