Wynwood Staple Pizza Tropical Relocating in February

Just when it seemed like Wynwood was saying goodbye to one of its most beloved late-night rituals, Pizza Tropical proved that some neighborhood legends refuse to fade away. During the bittersweet closing party of Gramps Wynwood on Sunday, January 4, 2026, the crowd learned the kind of news that turned tears into cheers: Pizza Tropical is officially set to relocate in February 2026.

The announcement was shared Sunday evening as regulars packed the bar and venue one final time, and it sent an electric wave of relief and excitement through the party. While the new location won’t be in Wynwood, it won’t be too far away, either. According to owner Adam Gersten, the new Pizza Tropical will open at 7010 Biscayne Blvd. next to Dogma in the heart of Biscayne’s Upper East Side neighborhood.

According to Gersten, the restaurant will be a partnership between Pizza Tropical’s founders, Frank Pinello and Gersten, as well as one of the longest-serving employees of Pizza Tropical/Gramps. Expect a February opening with an expanded menu and all of the classics.

Cheesus Crust, It’s Back

What began as a farewell gathering quickly became a celebration of second chances. Friends clutched paper plates, lifted plastic cups, and hugged as they had just gotten back a piece of Miami they were not ready to lose.

For years, Pizza Tropical was more than a slice window. It was a ritual for concert goers, comedians after a set, karaoke regulars, and anyone who knew that Wynwood nights often ended with a slice in one hand and hot honey wings in the other.

A Christmas Miracle

The December announcement of Pizza Tropical’s closure hit especially hard, coming nearly a decade after nearly a decade of thin slices, garlic rolls, and late-night courtyard meals at Gramps. Fans mourned the loss online and in person, calling it the end of an era. But at Sunday’s party, the mood shifted from nostalgia to hope as word spread that a comeback was already in motion and that a new home would soon follow.

Guests cheered, cried, and shouted the names of menu favorites like “El Peppe” and “La Blanca” as if they were rally anthems. Some longtime regulars said they had come to pay their respects, but instead left the courtyard, planning their reunion order for the opening week in February.

The reopening will not bring back early Wynwood exactly as it once was, but it will restore one of its most meaningful culinary anchors. Pizza Tropical fed the neighborhood during years when Wynwood felt scrappy, creative, and deeply communal. Now it’s preparing for a new chapter, carrying nearly a decade of memories along with it.

For Miami’s late-night faithful, February cannot come soon enough.
