After a highly successful summer residency at Bar Bella, owner Jorgie Ramos and Chef Carlos Estarita are officially expanding the brand into this second brick-and-mortar location, with a third planned for Homestead. Since launching in 2021 in Kendall, Vice City Pizza has become one of Miami's most exciting homegrown pizzerias, celebrated for its two-day fermented Detroit-style square pies, bold global flavors, and crave-worthy small plates.
Guests can expect the full menu of signature pizzas, small plates, and nostalgic desserts, all served in the casual space at the corner of 58th Avenue and 73rd Street. With late-night hours on weekends, the new spot is already drawing crowds eager to get their hands on the 'zas.
Vice City Pizza's menu at the South Miami location hasn't been released yet, but the menu during its pop-up included its signature 8x10-inch Detroit-style pies, made with a two-day fermented dough, Mutti tomatoes, and a custom blend of cheeses. Popular options include the "Roni & Hot Honey," topped with Rosa Grande pepperoni and Mike's Hot Honey; the "Sausage & Peppers," finished with housemade fennel sausage, roasted peppers, ricotta, and chili oil; and the "Brie & Fig," layered with mozzarella, brie, gorgonzola dolce, pistachio, and fig jam.
A Brie-tiful Menu
The menu also includes a full slate of vegan options featuring plant-based products from The "BE Hive," such as the "Supreme" and "Ron Swanson." Gluten-free dough is available upon request for an additional charge.Small plates at the pop-up range from short rib tartare with salsa verde and focaccia chips to truffle tots covered in fonduta and pecorino romano. Diners can also expect rotating weekday specials like a chicken parmigiana made with spicy vodka sauce and stracciatella, or a chicken caesar salad with anchovy dressing and "too much" grana padano. Desserts include a "Timba" bread pudding made with guava marmalade and cream cheese custard, and a crispy tiramisu with pistachio mascarpone and cold brew liqueur. Sicilian pistachio and vanilla soft serve are also available.
Vice City Pizza began as a lockdown-era project by Estarita, a classically trained chef with experience at acclaimed restaurants including Michy's, Zuma Miami, and Maido in Lima. Since opening its standalone West Kendall location in 2023, the pizzeria has earned a loyal following for its bold flavor combinations and technique-driven dough.
