When David Maudlin relocated Michela’s Pizzeria earlier this year, he did so having learned a lot of business lessons following decades of working in restaurants across Lee County.

Formerly off Boy Scout Drive near U.S. 41, Maudlin moved Michela’s to Villas Plaza shopping center at 12377 S. Cleveland Blvd., Unit No. 9, in south Fort Myers, with U.S. 41 to the west and Austin Street to the east.
