Tampa’s Sidesplitters Is The Dopest Comedy Club For A Date Night

If you are looking for a great date night out on the town in Tampa, check out Sidesplitter's Comedy Club.

We went last Friday to see Quinn Dahle, and I knew nothing about him prior to seeing him, but he was edgy and hilarious.

Here's why going to Sidesplitters makes for such a great date night. First of all, whether you're with other couples or out on a first date, laughter is the best medicine, and laughing really loosens you up. (Kind of like alcohol but without the hangover.)

Also, when you're hanging out in the club with all kinds of different people, and the comedian is ripping on everyone, himself, etc., and everyone is laughing together, it's just a reminder to not take life so seriously. Going to a comedy club is a healthy escape and one of those activities after partaking in, I always say, "Why don't we do this more often?"

What are your favorite pizza shops in the Westchase area?

If I'm not in the mood to cook, it's easy to order a pizza for take-out or dine at one of the pizza places around Westchase.

Here is my list of four and what I love about each.

Westchase Pizza and Pasta Co. is a great place to go on a Friday night (or any time). It's on the corner of Countryway and Linebaugh. I like the booths and the people who run it are very friendly. They do specialty pies and made to order. I always get a pepperoni and mushroom, and then I ask for one that is not on the menu (you just select the items you want). It's pesto-based with white cheeses and fried eggplant. It's my favorite.

Off of Linebaugh in the plaza on the right as your headed out of Westchase toward Sheldon, you'll find Tampa Pizza Company. And I love this place because they have really original options with their pizza toppings. They offer a Brushetta pizza and a bacon, chicken and ranch pizza. Their wings are tasty. And the atmosphere is fun for kids.

Marina's Pizza has been around for ages, and it's next to the Publix on Linebaugh. They make great Sicilian pizza. And the prices are reasonable, and they don't skimp on the toppings. Try their sandwiches, too.

And finally, Atlas Gourmet Pizza makes the list. Cool name, right? They are the newest pizza shop on the list. They are up Racetrack Road in the Hampton Lakes Plaza. Sometimes on Friday nights, we'll go there and get pizza to go and take it to the wine bar in the same plaza and sit outside to sip and dine.

There are other places around Westchase to find pizza, but these happen to be my favorites.

Not only does this place have great pizza, they make some amazing home-made desserts to go with it!

Tampa Pizza Company also has dairy-free and gluten free options.

We can't tell what we love more, their pizza or their pasta.

Not only does Atlas have some amazing pizza (our favorite is the ORR), but they also have delicious sandwiches, flatbreads and deserts.
