NOT just pizza! Great paninis, wraps, sandwiches, deli items, cold and hot beverages, AND catering. Reasonably priced. You'll see why many local workers and contractors have lunch here.

The new owner, Michael Miller (with previous 20+ years experience , and his partners, Lance Natsch and Russell LeScala, now own the entire building, so past complaints I won't elaborate on are resolved per A Fire Island News review from 7/05/2019: http://fireisland-news.com/review-le-dock/. Associated businesses in the same location are Michael's Pizzeria and a liquor store.
The reviews have been mostly 5-stars for this iteration of Le Dock. It's in Fair Harbor, which means a $21/person Fire Island Water Taxi trip each way. But the sunset views and food are recommended by reviewers.

Essentials
Pines Pantry
http://pinespantry.com/. Phone: 631-597-6200. Great deli, bakery, produce sections, and a very impressive overall stock. A bit more expensive than mainland supermarkets, but everything comes in by boat. They will deliver your purchases to the house. Tell them when you will be there, and make sure you are so they don't leave it outside the gate.

Stop & Shop's "PeaPod" grocery delivery service

This is definitely worthwhile if you expect to cook and eat at home a lot, and have a larger group to feed. The choices and variety are more than local shopping, and it avoids making trips to the local market. But you have to plan carefully in advance and figure out accurately what you are going to need. Otherwise, you'll either have to buy things locally anyway, or leave unused food and supplies behind when you leave. The prices are lower at Stop & Shop than Pines Pantry, but the delivery charges probably make the costs equivalent.
A PeaPod delivery must be ordered 4 - 5 days in advance, as the available slots fill up. They will deliver any weekday, but not weekends. Since checkin is on Thursdays, an order should be initiated on the prior weekend; it can then be edited until the day before, or Wednesday. When you make the reservation, the exact cutoff date and time will be listed.
The PeaPod address for the order delivery is to Sayville Ferry Service/Coastline Freight, 68 River Road, Sayville, NY 11782. For this to work, you must set up an account with Coastline Freight before the delivery date. It costs more to have them deliver to the house rather than the freight dock in the harbor, but it's worth it to avoid lugging the often heavy pods back to the house, and then returning them to the dock (they only pick up the empty pods, free of charge, when they delivered them to the house). They will deliver to outside the front gate unless you call in advance to ask them to bring the cases to the front deck and leave the gate open. Please lock all house doors if you leave the gate open and you're not going to be home. It's a very safe community, but possible theft of groceries or household property left unattended cannot be completely excluded.
IMPORTANT: You MUST empty the pods as soon as possible and call Coastline Freight to have them retrieve the empty plastic pod cases. Otherwise they will remain there forever. The pods stack nicely inside each other with the open lid halves overlying each other.
