These words proclaimed by Key West Mayor Dennis Wardlow on April 23, 1982, signified the birth of “The Conch Republic”. This declaration of independence was brought about by a blockade of the Keys set up by the U.S. Border Patrol. Mayor Wardlow’s attempts to obtain an injunction from the Federal Court were denied and the protest quickly took to the streets. As promised, the rebellion began and in a battle that seemed to last for minutes (actually, it lasted one minute) a lone naval officer was pelted with stale Cuban bread by local citizen-soldiers of the newly formed “Conch Republic”. Seeking to avoid any further violence, bloodshed and loss of food, Mayor Wardlow surrendered to the Admiral in charge of the naval base on Key West. Upon surrendering, the “Conchs” demanded One Billion Dollars in foreign aide to help rebuild their war ravaged country. This request was refused, but the blockade was removed.

BEACH PIZZA PLUS started as a very small one man shop 22 years ago. Shawn had been a cook at the Red Cavalier and needed a hange. He bought the interest in a little pizza shop on the beach. He and his wife ran this shop for years. He sometimes would take the order, make the pizza, then would close the shop to deliver the pizza. Over the years Beach Pizza has employed hundreds of kids who went on to other things, sometimes coming back for their old jobs. Beach Pizza has since the beginning made it's own dough, sauces and salad dressings. Beach Pizza Seminole opened over 8 years ago, and growing every year. Beach Pizza Largo open in December 2009, making it the 3rd store. The philosophy of great product and reasonable prices has made Beach Pizza the first stop for the many tourists around the globe for many years.
