The Long Search for Pizza in South Florida

Posted by mary41, February 8, 2008 at 7:29 PM

I've been looking for really good pizza in South Florida. I use to visit NY every year and my neighbor was Italian (she owned a pizza parlor and served the best pizza). I'm looking for pizza with a very thin crust, seriously chewy cheese that when you take a bite you get this long string of cheese from your mouth to the slice. Don't even suggest Miami's Best, I think they should be sued for claiming such an outrageous thing. Their pizza is terrible. Anyone knows a place with good pizza?

Thanks guys, I've tried Steve (too sweet), I like Archies margherita (however, it's not that Italian family own restaurant pizza). I want pizza whose cheese makes sort of a chewy sound when you bite into it. I haven't been to NY in 8 years, and every now I start thinking about the pizza and can almost taste it.

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!

Hey Redfish, I'm dying to try Sam and Eddie's but it's not listed with directory assistance. Where is it exactly? Can you give me the address/phone?

I like Sam & Eddie's in downtown Tampa, they get their water shipped in from NYC. It's the kind of pizza you used to love as a kid. I never order anything except cheese because it's so good it ought to be illegal.

I can't remember the name of the place, but it's located in the at 705 (ish)Linton Blvd. in Del Ray Beach...the guys there are from NYC and I think they have their water sent in from NY, which is what makes the dough so good...it was the only decent slice I could find

Casola's is by far and away the best pizza in the world after a night out :)

Living in Miami currently and I really dig Macaluso's lunch spot. It's in a hidden little strip center on the corner of 17th and Alton on Miami Beach. There's a lunch deli and dinner spot, and the deli has amazing thin Italian pizza, wood-fired and made only with spring water. It's not on the menu, but ask for a salad pizza and they'll bring you a cheese pizza topped with the famous delicious Vito salad. The ingredients are quality with Italian sausage, fabulous cheese and delicious fresh mushrooms.

I grew up in Miami and we always ate pizza at Mario the Baker in North Miami. I think this location is much better than their other locations in the South Florida area. http://www.mariothebakerpizza.com/
