The Long Search for Pizza in South Florida

You guys, you want seriously great pizza in South Florida, no doubt go to Di Piazza in Hialeah. Its a hole in the wall that has been there forever and the pizza is amazing- the cheese drips, the blend of garlic and sauce is perfect and the crust is crisp and not too thick, not too thin. They also make great garlic rolls. Try it and then come and see if you still think there is no great pizza in South Florida! This place beats Archie's, hands down. Miami's Best is a serious joke.

Eating in South Beach

if youre going to be hitting lincoln road mall, try the Ice Box Cafe. They have savory dishes as well as an amazing array of desserts, none of which are frou-frou. If you try and make it over the causeway onto the mainland, try Soyka's in the Design District. The place is great looking, especially at night and they have a varied, very tasty menu.

My Orange Balsamic Asparagus - Cool or room temperature, nice and green, a little citrus kick, and definitely a great contrast to the Paella...

how could I forget... even if you're making the sweet plantains, no paella is ever complete without a side of my GARLIC BREAD!!!!

stay with the plantain theme... when I used to have paella a la marinera, we usually accompanied it with Platanos Maduros (Ripe Sweet Plantains)... Check these out...

Roasted asparagus. If you can get your hands on some peppers and roast them as well with some sherry wine vinegar. I like the cubed melon idea as well.

If you want NY style pizza, try Michaelangelo's in Sunrise. I find that most of the "brick oven" or "coal fired" places produce a good pie, but it's not that traditional "New York" slice that you seem to be looking for. Michaelangelo's is as close as I've found...

I love Tutto Pizza in Brickell, I have to get a panini or a pizza anytime I go visit my parents.

Have you ever tried Pizza Kitchen around 124th and US1 in Miami? It's right by a baseball park and in the same strip mall as some Thai restaurant/video game store/office building!

Fantastic pizza and really great garlic bread. It is a pick up take out spot with maybe two plastic tables if you can't wait to eat a slice...which I never could when I lived there!
