Fortunato’s officially open in Gulfport – I Love the Burg

You love to see it. Fortunatos used to be a go-to spot for me, and many others I Imagine, while wandering Central Avenue on any given weekend night (but especially First Friday). I came to love it as an Eckerd student, so I was never too surprised to see a line out the door for a thick Fortunats slice.

In early November, the pizza joint reemerged in Gulfport, an area with a burgeoning food scene. Seriously, if you havent had Smokin Js, go to Smokin Js. The pickles, the pulled pork, THE RIBS. One Thanksgiving I got a smoked turkey from this BBQ joint and I still think about it to this day.

But I digress, were here to talk pizza. Fortunatos is now open at 3038 Beach Boulevard South. Its been open for a little over a month at this point.

Guests can enjoy quaint outdoor and patio seating as the work to form the perfect pizza fold.

Fortunatos Gulfport menu has featured specials such as a bacon jalapeo flatbread, a salmon cake appetizer, and prosciutto wrapped pork loin.

The restaurants current hours are:

Lunch 11:30am-2:30pm Tuesday, Saturday & SundayDinner 4pm-10pm Tuesday-Sunday

Fortunatos menu is loaded with hand tossed and Sicilians pizzas. All diners should try the Chicken Milanese Signature Sandwich at least once. The hearty lunch option features arugula, fresh mozzarella, red onion, pesto and mayo.

This opening follows similar resurgences in the Gulfport culinary community. A Friend Who Bakes is delivering something tasty to residents who have a serious sweet tooth.

Stellas, a popular breakfast spot, recently opened in a new expanded space, too.
