Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
This weekend, celebrate National Donut Day with a special doughnut pop-up, take your chihuahua for a beer, try a slice of Pepsi-Roni pizza, and enjoy jazz on a romantic rooftop.

Free Pepsi-Roni Pizza
Love pizza? Love Pepsi? How about a Pepsi-Roni pizza? That’s right – the good people at Pepsi have collaborated with the Culinary Institute of America to create Pepsi-Roni, which is pepperoni infused with Pepsi Zero sugar (think candied bacon but with Pepsi and pepperoni). Today, Friday, you can grab a slice of the pizza for free all day during lunch at Groovy’s Pizza in Miami. 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 2770 SW 27th AVe., Miami.
