Super 7: Pizza
From garage-sized spots churning out Detroit squares to Neapolitan masters firing up blistered pies, here are seven spots around a pie.
Eleventh Street
What started as a pandemic pivot now has two locations serving sourdough-based New York pies. Eleventh Street’s pepperoni cups crisp up perfectly under a drizzle of hot honey, while seasonal specials keep regulars coming back. The dense, Parmesan-dusted garlic knots alone are worth the visit.
Pro Tip: Hit the downtown spot late night (they're open until 2 a.m. on certain evenings) when the slices taste even better. We won't ask why you're up. @eleventhstreetpizza // 1035 N Miami Avenue, Downtown Miami
Miami Slice
From its pop-up days to its brick-and-mortar spot downtown, Miami Slice has earned its reputation for top-notch, NY-style pies. The thin crust nails that perfect mix of crisp and chew, while creative combos like La Salsera—with its blend of red sauce, vodka sauce, and pesto—keep the menu exciting. The space is small, but the slices are mighty.
Pro Tip: The line gets wild, but here's the hack: show up 30 minutes before opening, and you'll usually snag one of the few counter seats where you can watch the pizza sorcery happen. @IGHandle // 1335 NE Miami Court, Midtown Miami
Stanzione Pizza
After leaving Brickell behind (like most of us wish we could), this Neapolitan pizza master found new life in Little River, bringing back their wood-fired classics and adding fresh new takes. Stanzinoe Pizza’s bubbling charred crust makes the perfect base for their carbonara pizza, which transforms the pasta dish into pie form. The casual, food hall vibe matches the neighborhood perfectly.
Pro Tip: Get the pizza trio: Three mini versions of different pies that let you sample more of the menu without hating yourself afterwards. @stanzionepizza // 8300 NE 2nd Avenue, Little River
Vice City Pizza
Vice City Pizza, the Detroit-style specialist, turns out square pies with light, airy interiors and crispy cheese edges that’ll make you forget about round pizza altogether. The Ron Swanson loads up bacon, pepperoni, and fennel sausage for meat lovers, while unexpected combos like fig and brie show their creative side. It’s worth the drive, even with Miami traffic.
Pro Tip: Order a half-pie if you want to try multiple styles - it's the perfect way to sample their range. @vice.city.pizza // 2615 SW 147th Avenue, Kendall
Joe’s Pizza
This NYC transplant brings legitimate New York slices to Wynwood, complete with the perfect fold and semolina-dusted bottom. Joe’s Pizza sauce strikes the right balance between tangy and sweet, while the cheese melts into that ideal New York texture. No frills needed—just good basics done right.
Pro Tip: Skip the toppings on your first visit and go for a plain cheese slice to taste what makes Joe's special. @joespizzanyc // 234 NW 25th Street, Wynwood
Steve’s Pizza
Since 1974, Steve's Pizza has been cranking out perfect corner-slice-shop pies in a space that looks like a pizza-loving teenager's bedroom got stuck in time - in the best way. The classic American-style pizzas come with properly doughy crusts and that ideal grease-to-cheese ratio that makes pizza worth breaking your diet for. The walls of Polaroids and decades of booth graffiti tell you all you need to know: this place is pure Miami pizza history.
Pro Tip: During off-hours, snag one of the coveted wooden booths and soak in the old-school pizza parlor atmosphere. @stevespizza // 12101 Biscayne Blvd, North Miami
Big Cheese Miami
Big Cheese is official pizza of the University of Miami has fed champions and future NFL stars since 1984. Beyond the walls of Hurricane memorabilia – enough to fill a museum – you'll find what might be Miami's cheesiest slices, plus a menu of Italian-American classics that keeps both students and alumni coming back.
Pro Tip: Ask for the off-menu garlic rolls "extra crispy" - they'll throw them back in the oven for a few minutes until they're golden brown and extra crunchy. @thebigcheesemiami // 8080 SW 67th Avenue, South Miami
