Piola

Even if the movie at the Regal South Beach Cinema a few doors over was more than atrocious, you'll go home happy after a postshow pizza at Piola, especially if you wash down your pie with the Italian pizzeria's special frozen limoncello drink, a sort of lemon/vodka sorbet that goes down easy and hits hard. The stylish multilevel room is expansive, with well-spaced tables and even comfy couches -- definitely not the "grab it and run" décor of your average pizzeria. The programmed music also helps with the de-stressing process since it isn't SoBe's standard electronica, but delightfully unpredictable and multicultural. And the pizza's the thin, crisp-crusted real thing. Some toppings are a bit over-the-top, but the signature Piola -- a classic Margherita (tomato sauce, mozzarella, and fresh basil) intensified with sun-dried tomato slivers and upgraded with buffalo mozzarella -- is perfect.
