In the opening scenes of the old TV show Miami Vice they showed Jai Alai being played. Jai Alai venues once were all over Florida. The sports popularity has since waned, fortunately for one former player he opened Cesta Pizza on US 1 in Cocoa. The name is a nod to his playing days, as the cesta was the name of the wicker basket used to catch and propel the ball.
He opened Cesta Pizza in 1991 and still owns and operates it today. The building they are located in is part of a small strip mall that could use a refresh. The inside of Cesta pizza also has seen better days. According to the owners they are in the process of remodeling the inside. At this time the decor on the south wall has several pictures of the owners hometown in his Native Spain. As for the pizza, my guest and I ordered a large pepperoni pizza. After a short wait, the pie was delivered to the table piping hot. It was a pleasing looking pie.
The first taste had a nice crunch and a delicious taste. The crust had a nice flavor with a soft interior. Very enjoyable. The cheese had a nice pull to it along with a slightly salty taste. The Pepperoni they use has a spicy taste to it from the get go. A nice mild sauce with a hint of sweetness completes the pie (Side note, it could have used more sauce ). All together this a fine pie. A family friendly pie for everyone. 4 out of 5 Dancing Pepperoni. Thank You Cesta Pizza.
Love
and
Pizza
Slices
