Python Pizza from the Everglades? Try a Sssslice in Fort Myers

The Everglades made the pages of the New York Daily News, but this time it wasn't the fragile nature of the River of Grass that attracted the press. It was the food. And some fairly exotic food at that.

A pizza joint in Fort Myers, Evan's Neighborhood Pizza, offers "a special slithering pie topped with virtually every creature that lives in the swamp."

Order the Everglades special and get a curious mixture of hog, alligator, tomato, frogs legs, swamp cabbage and, yes, python.

I'm very adventurous when it comes to food, that's for sure, owner Evan Daniell, 52, told the Daily News on Thursday. You have different flavors throughout each bite.

The NYC tabloid takes full advantage of the quirky piece by promoting "related stories" on the same page -- story of a 15-foot python that strangled a man in Bali; a story of cops finding an 8-foot python, along with $35,000 worth of pot, in a Harlem drug den; story of a new steakhouse opening in Long Island City; and the latest on an Indonesian spa that offers snake massages.

Adventurous-eating folk apparently flock to the Fort Myers pie palace. So much so that the Daniells are flirting with offering a "roadkill" pizza that would include raccoon, armadillo and possum meat.

Meanwhile, a medium 14-inch Everglades pie will set you back a hefty $45, but that's apparently because python meat costs about $66 per pound.

Sixty-six bucks a pound? Really?

Maybe we'll hear more about it if pizza aficionado Roger Stone wanders west and is up for a slice at Evan's.
