We have reached peak pizza saturation. I get it. Which makes waiting in line for a slice even more befuddling, but that is another rant for another time. Just bear with me here, because there’s a shop in Coral Gables that comes with no arbitrary “Best in the World” list, no self-proclaimed pizza master chef, and no tire company endorsement. And it’s already one of my favorites.
Belluz Pizza’s only accolade is a blue ribbon from Coral Gables magazine calling it the best in the city beautiful. And, really, the locals are who we should be listening to anyway.
This narrow little shop just south of Miracle Mile has two things on the menu, and light, crispy crust that leaves you feeling light as a ballerina after you eat. There’s no line, the owner works the counter, and everything about it still feels undiscovered. Oh, and if you’ve got good reflexes, you can probably eat for free.
For the love of Frank Pepe we’ve got enough pizza places in Miami. Why are you telling us …
