New restaurant in downtown Gulfport

www.localshops1.com welcomes our newest neighbor!

There's a cool new independent restaurant in downtown Gulfport!
If you're from around here, you've probably been to Dominic's pizza on Gulfport Boulevard, near 49th street, in the plaza next to the hardware store.

Well Dominic's has moved a few blocks south, to Beach Boulevard. It joins bunch of other great restaurants in the downtown arts district: Pia's, Peg's O'Maddy's, Domain (also pretty news), Yummy's, Backfin, Java Nirvana ....

But, back to Dominic's: It opened last night, to coincide with Geckofest. I had a slice of pizza, with peppers and olives; and a salad called the wedge. olives, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce and a really great dressing. Also on the menu: calzones, ice cream. And more is coming in the next few weeks, the owner says.

They'd planned to open in September, but figured they'd rush to make it in time for the Geckofest crowds.

And we're glad they did! The food was awesome, the prices were very reasonable. And it's such a cute place! Cool chandeliers, grandfather clock. Lots of charm, and a great fit for our downtown.
