Pizza fanatics went wild when Miami’s Pizza Rustica opened an outpost in Lauderdale — this is designer Tuscan pizza, thinly crusted, topped with imaginative combos like spinach and blue cheese, porcini mushrooms, prosciutto, yellow squash, four cheese, and arugula-rosemary-potato. The “campagnola” features sweet sausage, roasted peppers, sweet onions, and plum tomato sauce; the “putanesca” is […]
Pizza in Miami New Times

Romans are masters at creating a style of light, crisp crust topped with gourmet edibles that puts most American versions to shame. Luckily for Miamians, the Roman tradition has been brought to downtown in the form of Pizzarium, an East Flagler Street beacon for hungry cube-dwellers. Organic ingredients, a light and fluffy crust, and utterly […]
Primo Pizza has developed a following since it brought its New York-style pizza to Miami Beach. Its newer location in midtown is an improved version of the Miami Beach shop; it’s much more pleasant and comfortable, has indoor and outdoor seating, and sports a couple of flat-screen TVs for sports-watchers. The pizza doesn’t come cheap. […]
Formerly the executive sous-chef at Michael Mina’s Bourbon Steak, Justin Flit opened Proof Pizza & Pasta in midtown because the neighborhood’s “cool” factor was the ideal setting for the casual, inviting, anti-Italian restaurant he’s always envisioned owning. Though nearly everything at Proof has Italian undertones, the executive chef and owner is adamant about serving the […]

The concise menu here is slightly more extensive than at owner Gary Rack’s other venue, Table 42 Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar in Boca Raton (formerly Coal Mine Pizza). Both spots specialize in coal-fired pies but also offer starters, salads, and pastas; Racks adds a handful of fish, meat, and poultry entrées to the mix. […]
Wynwood has gained an outpost of the 15-year-old Washington, D.C.-based Italian restaurant Sette Osteria. The eatery serves a robust selection of house-made pastas, pizzas, and larger entrées, along with dozens of wines. The eatery offers elevated interpretations of classic Italian recipes. When it comes to the bar, expect Italian sodas, sangria, beer, and a unique […]
Spartico is all about the crisp, classic Roman-style pies cooked up in the on-site, Milanese wood-burning oven. Garlic bread comes from the same oven, and it’s a pungent, doughy treat worth the extra calories. Guests to this Coconut Grove outpost can add a whole host of gourmet options to their particular pie, including Porcini mushrooms, […]
There are some fine nonpizza items – like carpaccio with avocado and hearts of palm – at this informal sprig of Lincoln Road’s longtime upscale Italian fave Tiramesu. But as long as Spris’ kitchen keeps producing such great thin-crusted pies from a genuine wood-burning oven, you’ll probably never try anything else. The basic Margherita (tomato […]

With so many New Yorkers migrating to Miami, you’d think we’d have the staples of that city mastered. Although we have plenty of options when it comes to a towering pastrami sandwich or a perfect lox-and-cream-cheese bagel, we’re still lacking in the all-important pizza-by-the-slice department. That is, unless you live near North Miami, where Steve’s […]
With a name like Styx Sports Bar, Grill & Pool, it’s gotta be good. This North Miami hair metal namesake is where a Mystic Pizza-era Julia Roberts would have hustled her shooting skills, racking ’em up and laying it down. And if you follow in her footsteps, while wielding sticks with the best of ’em, […]
A young, attractive, and spirited crowd fills Sylvano every night. They come for the lively scene, dependable Italian fare, and truly budget prices. Pastas, for instance, run $8 to $12 and include a toothsome lasagna with Bolognese-style beef, and orecchiette with tender cubes of eggplant, grated ricotta salata cheese, and a pleasantly neutral tomato sauce. […]
This Indian eatery (which might also serve Thai, Chinese, Philippine, Italian, and/or Japanese food, depending on the season and the chefs’ vacation schedules) doesn’t serve Bombay’s famed regional chaats (snack foods). The menu covers only the usual Northern Indian/Moglai dishes found everywhere, and à la carte prices are no bargain. A daily lunch buffet, though, […]
There’s pleasant bumping and grinding as you inch your way to the bar and your next frosty one. There are darts, a pool table, and a couple of videogames, but the entertainment is mostly supplied by a jukebox laden with hard rock. They occasionally slip in a little hip-hop. That’s what they’re listening to at […]

Helmed by acclaimed Miami bartender Valentino Longo, this Italian aperitivo bar in the Elser Hotel downtown opened with authentic Italian cocktails and a selection of pizzas that even nonna would approve of. Here you’ll find Italian influences in every detail, including multiple negroni options, plus three sections stacked with other cocktails. But whatever you order […]
Whenever some young, enterprising chef chooses to tamper with food basics, he or she runs the risk of popular revolt. And often the result is total failure. But now and then, a place such as Yiya’s Gourmet Cuban Bakery arrives, executing the essentials with high ambition balanced by common sense, style, and unparalleled craft. Since […]
