Is there good pizza in or around Jacksonville, FL?

Question

I've been to the beach in places like Outer Banks, North Carolina and Ocean City Maryland and Delaware and realized that all of the pizza in that area either really sucked or was run by a franchise (which means it still sucks). I think Jacksonville, FL is a cool place but are there really any good pizza joints in Jacksonville. I live in PA and every block has a pizza joint run by an old Italian guy with a great pizza recipe and I was wondering if that case is similar at all in Jacksonville, Florida.

The Haunted School Anne Lytle School, School # 4 or The Devil’s School Stories about the School No. 4 are legion. Bring up hauntings in Jacksonville and inevitably someone mentions it as the most haunted place in Jacksonville. The place just looks haunted. You’ve probably passed it at one point or another. It’s on the corner of I-95 and Margaret Street in the Brooklyn area of Riverside. I love the stories about the school, even though none of them are true. I’ve heard that most of the students died in the 60s because of a furnace explosion, that the principle was a cannibal who ate children and that a disgruntled janitor went on a bloody killing spree. Everybody has a story as to why the place was abandoned. The reality is much more mundane. The school was built around 1917, as Riverside Elementary. It was used as a school until the 1960s, when the construction of I-95 cut off access to the place, making it a logistical nightmare to get to in a car. The same is true today—you can see it from the highway, but it’s difficult to get to by car. After many complaints and logjams, it was shut down as a school and used as an administrative building until 1970, when it was vacated. Since that time, the homeless, ghost hunters, vandals and would-be-Devil worshippers (so the story goes) have invaded the school. The spook appeal has proven too much for teens looking for the forbidden. At this point, the place is in such a state of disrepair, after a roof collapsed and a fire in the 90s, that it’s very dangerous to go into the place, which has been slated for demolition since the 80s. Property owners, afraid that trespassers would be hurt on the site, put up barbed fencing and padlocks. It hasn’t yet been torn down because of its status as an historical building. Plenty of uses for the building have been floated over the years, but most have been scrapped, either because of the accessibility problem or because renovations would have been too expensive. It doesn’t help that I-95 whizzes by the place within a few feet of the façade. Finding a use for Public School #4 is only going to get tougher, as they’re building a fly-over ramp that will obscure the building. While it’s been reported that the building will finally be demolished and the land sold, it has somehow survived under the constant threat of destruction for years. I’ll believe it when I see it.
