Yummy! Stopped in after grabbing pizza late at night. Several options, and they toss the slices in the oven. We got a yelp great for checking in. I will say I prefer the other spot on the same strip, but it did the job.
Ordered a Bacon, Chicken and Pineapple pizza from Grafa Pizza delivered to my hotel, and honestly, I was really disappointed. The chicken was extremely overcooked and rubbery, and while the crust looked great in photos, it was horrifically dry and hard to chew. For $35, I expected something way better than what I got. Maybe the experience is different when you eat it fresh and hot in person--I hope so. But based on this delivery, it's a no from me.
This was a good quick bite to eat one night while my girlfriend and I were in Miami. We ended up here because our first choice was closed already. While we would have preferred the other place, this one sufficed. The pizza was quality and they heated it in the spot like many places do. I believe I had pepperoni and it was solid. I usually rate pizza on a scale of 1-10 and I think I gave this a 6.8. Mind you no pizza has ever surpassed a 9.2 so 6.8 isn't that bad of a score. The service was quick and prompt. The employees got our order out quick and got us out within about 5 mins. The ambiance doesn't really exist. It's a very small space and has just enough room for a line to form about 8 people long. I'd consider coming back here on a future trip to Miami.
Good pizza. Arrived in Miami Beach at midnight and I was starving. Pizza slices were huge and the beef empanada was tasty.
Not love at first bite. I ordered bacon pizza and a cheese and man I just wouldn't recommend. $23 for 2 slices and a can of coke.
After spending way too much for sit-down meals at local restaurants, I came here to get a pizza for the family. My decision was made based on price, convenience and previous reviews. The food was even better than expected. It was pouring rain, so eating at the cute tables outside wasn't an option. Inside is carryout only space, though there's a stand-up counter along the wall if you don't mind disturbing or being disturbed by others ordering pizza by the slice and other good looking food (eg. arancini). We got an 18 inch 1/2 caprese and 1/2 bbq chicken pizza. The guy who made it clearly knows what he is doing and put it together super fast. It came out of the oven hot and perfect. Subsequent fresh mozzarella, basil and tomatoes on one side and bbq sauce on the other were added, making for delightful flavor instead of being baked to oblivion. I raced the pizza back to the hotel where it was devoured quickly because it was so good. Between bites I heard comments like "crisp thin crust ", "good amount of toppings", "filling", and "one of the best pizzas I have had in a really long time."
Pizza is one of my favorite foods but this was just not good. I just wanted a cheese pizza and what I got was cheese bread. There was no sauce, the slices were barely cut and cut into different sizes. The crust was dry and hard. The only good was that I ordered this about 1am and it was made fast. The customer service was decent, no issues there but I wouldn't come back to this place.
It's about $5 for a cheese slice and $6.50 for a loaded slice, so you're better off getting one of their specialty slices. And those heavy slices could easily be a meal. Much better deal than the slices at Mom's, albeit a tad smaller (i.e. they're normal sized here). Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza: There's a lot going on in this slice! It's like the regular cheese but with a ton of tiny bacon bits. And a little bit of shredded chicken. Then a ton of ranch dressing on everything. If someone else puts ranch dressing on my pizza, then I don't feel ashamed to eat it! All and all, it was the bacon and ranch that dominated the flavor profile. Which I don't mind, since they're yummy. Cheese Pizza: Tried this to get a sense for the baseline pizza. Pretty standard with a modest amount of sauce and lot of cheese. Importantly, the bottom crust was firm so it doesn't flop when you hold it.
Came here with a friend a couple of days ago to try their pizza and pasta. Its located on Washington Ave in South Beach so if you're not paying attention or walking too fast, you might pass it. Let's just say it's just a few feet away from the legendary Club Deuce. Walked in and we were immediately greeted by the super friendly lady (wish I remembered her name). She offered us drinks so opted for a Modelo and Peroni. Yes, they do have bottled beer besides soda and water so that's plus! As you walked by the store window and front counter, they have delicious looking pies on display which you can order by the slice. We came here for a whole pie so our server suggested getting the 18" with half and half. But first, the Stromboli was calling our name so we started we that. OMG. It was so good. It was filled with oozing meats and cheese. Now let's talk about the pizza. Since we are meat lovers, we opted for Meatlovers, of course :) and half Supreme just to spice things up. However, we saw this irresistible veggie pie called Greca. Just the colors of the toppings were hypnotizing enough. Folks, everything was amazing. All the toppings were fresh and tasty (and they didn't skimp out), the pie was piping hot with a nice crunch, but we really loved the veggie Greca. It's just super light and you could really taste the freshness of tomato sauce, chopped tomatoes, parsley and of course the melted cheese. But wait, there's more! Our server came by often to check up on us and she suggested to also try their pasta. At this point, we were quite full so we just got one bowl to share. We got the Spicy Arrabbiata because we love spicy food. Ladies and gentlemen, don't try this at home..LOL :) It was very spicy but we were obsessed. We couldn't get enough of the kick. For the finale, our server surprised us with the Tiramisu. Let me tell you. This was probably the best Tiramisu I've ever had and my friend agrees. I could tell it was made today or a few hours ago because the sweetness was not all sitting at the bottom. Every bite of each layer was just perfect. Loved our first-time visit at Grafa and trust, it won't be the last. The food was high quality and the service was super friendly. Granted that it's a really small shop, they have a few tables outside which kinda feels like in your family's backyard.
You know how they say a good pizza is all about the dough? Well let me just say that this is true and Grafa Pizza has their dough game on point. You see, I am not really a hardcore pizza fan. I mean, I like pizza but I usually eat healthier and don't get around to pizza much, plus I'm picky with it. I don't like the thick crust, I don't like flavorless pizza, I like my cheese and some toppings. So yea in order for me to order a pizza I must like it a lot. Grafa is one of those places where I would definitely return and order pizza from when in the area and not only at 3am after drinking on South Beach when all pizza tastes good. I would order from them at anytime because yes I did eat this South Beach slice of pizza in the daytime, sober and yes it was delicious. I had a sausage and pepperoni slice and also a Hawaiian. The sausage was so flavorful and I know Pineapple in a pizza? It was actually very good, didn't taste like the stuff other chain restaurants make. Also had the Fettuccini Bolognese with Focaccia bread, so tasty and filling and we finished the meal with a Nutella Pizza with sprinkles on top. We were stuffed but we ate all! Best part was Elena behind the counter, can she be any nicer? So yes guys stop on buy whether you're in the area in the day or partying up on South Beach at night. The dough is special, you won't regret it.

Grafa is a small pizza shop located in the heart of Sobe. If you're going for a job or a tourist on a segway tour, then you could easily make the mistake of overlooking this hidden gem. From the outside, it's a no-frills pizza restaurant, but what Grafa lacks in aesthetics it makes up with in great taste and friendly service. The must-have on the menu is the "Greek or Greca" pizza, a combination of tomato, mozzarella, feta, and fresh parsley, it was quickly the table favorite. I also recommend the "Meat Lovers" pizza for the carnivores and the "Supreme" if you're in the mood for adding some veggies to the mix. In my opinion vegetables on pizza means that you are eating a completely balanced meal. The presentation of the pizza draws you in; I say this because no less than three different people (who were walking by) asked us for our opinion of the pizza. On to the pasta. We ordered the appropriately named Spicy Arrabbiata, and it didn't disappoint, what I enjoyed about the pasta menu was the fact that you were provided the option to choose between four types of paste - Spaghetti, Fettuccine, Rigatoni, and Penne. They even have a gluten-free option. Grafa serves freshly prepared Pizza and Pasta, and they do it with a smile. The only real con is that you'll probably need to take your pizza to go because of the lack of retail space provided. read more
One bite everyone knows the rules. We were wanting an easy meal for dinner and saw Grafa's when we were walking. They do offer a discount if you check in on Yelp which is always nice. It was a very big pizza and we split it 4 ways. It was the perfect amount of food for us. Pizza was hot and tasted great. It is a bit pricey, but this is what you expect in Miami. Would happily eat it again. read more

I'm seeing this restaurant has a few bad reviews because of bad delivery experiences, but I will say, if you're in the area you HAVE to eat here. I was honestly very surprised at the quality of the food given the low prices. Not to talk bad about Casa Tua, but Grafa's pasta is WAY better. Yup. I said it. I tried the chicken bacon ranch pizza, classic pepperoni & sausage, bolognese pasta, & the truffle pasta. I can't pick a favorite because everything was genuinely delicious. The crust was perfectly thin enough. What really impressed me was the pasta though. Their sauces were amazing! The pasta was perfectly al dente & the meat in the bolognese tasted fresh. I'm not crazy about mushrooms so I was a bit weary to order the truffle pasta but it was recommended by our server, so we ordered it. The sauce it SO creamy & flavorful. It was incredible. There's a parking lot near the corner of the block, seating outside, & food is very reasonably priced. What more can you ask for! read more
Being from Miami we avoid South Beach because of the tourist this is not one of the places you want to avoid. On Washington Ave, Grafa is located a gem in the wall is used best describe it. There is outdoor seating as well as a bar wall and stools inside (people watching outside is better). Anyways we were greeted upon entering and you have a view of the pizzas as well as the kitchen. They speak Italian which was also great. We had the rigatoni bolognese (that's what we were recommended too, thank me later) it was delicious! The sauce was fresh and the portion was big enough for 2. Our pizza was scrumptious, it was baked to perfection, Crisp but not burnt! You can't leave there without the Nutella pizza, it's a must if you are a Nutella fan. Amazing from beginning to the end, this is a go to! read more
Chicken bacon ranch. Mediterranean. I have odd cravings around midnight, and this pizza place obliged. The owner and the employees were very friendly and accommodated us quickly, and I could not have asked for a better late-night pizza experience! Grafa Pizza is tucked away on Washington Avenue near 14th street not too far from South Beach. It's a small establishment with some outdoor seating but boasts huge flavor and personality. I had one slice each of those two flavors earlier. Definitely got filled up. Next time I'm at South Beach, I will be back to try their other slices! How this pizza place got 3-3.5 stars is beyond me. It seems like most of the reviews giving this restaurant a negative review is based off third-party delivery reviews. Be fair, people! Once again, I must urge my fellow Yelpers to please read the Google reviews (4.5 stars out of 218 Google reviews as of 10/1/2019) to balance your opinions! read more

Delicious, authentic, and did I mention DELICIOUS? Such fresh, high quality ingredients (I could tell from the taste of the red sauce in the pasta) and great portion sizes (enough to share). My boyfriend and I enjoyed the nice staff, always attentive and bringing us water or beverages if needed. The owner was so kind and generous. He treated us like family and gave recommendations on which foods to try. We got a slice of the Greek pizza (Omg SO GOOD!) and the Chicken Bacon Ranch (saucy goodness) and we loved them! Especially enjoyed the dough of the pizza which resembles NY pizza. The best I've found in Miami, thus far! I also highly recommend trying the amitriciana and truffle pasta. Both were cooked to perfection, ample amount of sauce, and delicious! Finally, we could not leave without trying the dessert- nutella pizza! So yummy! Can't wait to go back! Parking tip: park at the miami municipal parking garage. Rates are pretty good there. read more

Don't get fooled by this little hole in the wall because you will get blown away by everything. The staff is Italian, the pizza was great even my picky eater 4 yo boy ate it. My husband had the gluten free pizza made with cauliflower crust. I'd say if I was intolerant to gluten I'd get it again but I like my real pizza. I ordered the pasta Bolognese and I can say is the best I've had in all miami. The seats are limited, tall chair against the wall and there's cute tables out front. read more

As a native New Yorker, I'm a forever fan of that style of pizza & am beyond excited whenever I encounter it. Though it's nestled in South Beach, Grafa quickly took me back home with all of the makings of an excellent slice. Chewy yet crisp crust, deliciously seasoned sauce, & some of the tastiest pepperoni I've had in a while? All of this plus the counter space running the length of the restaurant that deepened the NY vibe already have me craving my next slice. read more

Let's just talk about how I been lost trying to eat pizza in south beach many years and finally found the perfect spot,for a quick slice or pie with the authentic taste of a Italian kitchen. We first started with a delicious pizza half Greek other half chicken bacon ranch wow out of this world chicken tasted fresh feta cheese just amazing. Pasta was on point fresh sauce very good! The tiramisu was so delicious fluffy not strong like most places I was so full I couldn't resist to try so worth it. And can't forgot the a Nutella slice yum yum let's just say I rolled down Washington street that night read more
The pizza in the window caught my eye. Lots of different choices - including many vegetarian options. We went with the Veggie pizza and were pleased with the freshness and abundance of toppings. In regards to service, it could not have been better. I highly recommend you try Grafa. read more

Visited Grafa for the first time on a Wednesday evening and I'm already planning the next time I go again! My friend and I were in the mood for comfort foods and came across Grafa. It's an authentic and intimate little restaurant located on Washington Ave, right across the infamous Miami Ink tattoo shop. Because of the centralized location, I knew it would be either a hit or a miss. Thankfully, it was a hit! We ordered the buffalo chicken pizza and the Greek pizza along with a side of rigatoni in pink sauce. I haven't found too many pizza spots who offer buffalo chicken pizza, so I was immediately sold. The ingredients tasted extremely fresh and our server was very friendly and helpful. My friend and I agreed that not enough places offer a small side of pasta, so I was happy we were able to split the pizza toppings and share the pizza to try everything they had to offer. As if that wasn't delicious enough, we had their cheesecake for dessert. Our server was sweet, she went above and beyond and added Nutella to it! It was the icing on the cake for our night, literally. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with the food and service. And not to mention, it's a great way to have some delicious food without breaking the bank. I'll be back for sure!! read more

Best pizza after a perfect day on the beach! I was so amazed to find this tiny spot on Washington Ave. I was with a friend and we both had a $5 slice... and believe me it was the best slice we've tried in Miami everrrr! I had the Greca pizza with fresh tomatoes and feta cheese and my friend had the mushroom pizza. After that we share a Nutella pizza that was insane!!!!! Look at my pics so you know what I mean. I definitely recommend this hidden gem in the heart of SOBE read more

As a Miami local, I try my best to avoid South Beach, the traffic, the tourists, the crazies... But I am so happy to have tried this place out. If you're craving fresh authentic Italian food, you need to check out this place. It's right on Washington Avenue right by all of the tourist shops. If you're on vacation and staying at the beach you must give it a try. If you're a local, believe me you won't be disappointed. The restaurant is small, but it's worth a visit. Not only is the food delicious but also extremely affordable especially for being in the beach. The customer service here is amazing. From the moment we walked in, we felt very well taken care of. Ilaria helped us the whole time and is very knowledgeable of the menu. I'm glad I listened to all of her suggestions. Despite it was starting to get busy, she was able to handle the rush and check up on us frequently. To start off, I had the Prosciutto Salad, which has fresh mozzarella, baby spinach, tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and Prosciutto di Parma, as authentic as it gets,topped off with a balsamic glaze. The salad is a decent portion and can even be shared amongst two. My boyfriend had the cheese pizza, also good and fresh from the oven. As an entree, I had the truffle pasta and chose the gluten free penne pasta. The only difference I found was that I was able to eat more of my pasta and not feel so stuffed. My boyfriend had the chicken Alfredo pasta and loved it as well. Both pastas are decent size and can be shared as well. For dessert we shared the Nutella pizza. I love Nutella so having it for dessert was a real treat. My boyfriend doesn't even like Nutella but really enjoyed it. The Nutella pizza is like a cracker with Nutella on top. They have a $9.95 special which includes 2 slices of pizza and a soda. I will definitely try the special next time! read more

My wife and I got "stuck" in Miami Beach for an extra day, due to weather preventing us from getting home. After finding a hotel in a JAM PACKED miami beach, toting our luggage through the city, and finally getting settled in our last minute hotel, we were both super hungry and started to look for something to eat. My wife has a gluten allergy and said she wanted pizza. So the search began, as we have already had a long & exhaustive day and did not want to venture too far from our hotel, and we found a true hidden gem, after reading the menu online! Once we arrived, there wasn't much room to sit inside, but they had a couple tables outside and the day was not blistering hot & there was a slight breeze to make dining outside pretty comfortable. After perusing the menu inside and finding out they had not one, but TWO types of gluten free pizza crusts AND pasta, we knew this was definitely THE place to have dinner! We were greeted with the most welcoming, professional, & helpful staff and were guided through the menu to find out what she could have. One delight not seen too often in pizza restaurants was that they make their alfredo from scratch and it doesn't contain any gluten. Just the way any good alfredo is made with three ingredients: parmesan cheese, butter, and cream! Although this is a small establishment and there is, essentially, mainly counter service for a slice of pizza, a fresh stromboli, or tasty calzone, the cashier Llaria, once again, went above & beyond, to check on us multiple times as we were ravenously enjoying the absolutely delicious pizzas the chef prepared for us, drinking a couple ice cold beers, and people watching the buzz on Washington Ave! If you are lucky enough to come to Miami Beach and have the slightest craving for some of the best pizza that will leave you talking about it for days, Grafa Pizza and Pasta Co. is the place for you! You will NOT be disappointed, will leave stuffed to your gills, and already anticipating when you can have it again! If I could leave more than 5 stars, I most certainly would! This will be an establishment we visit every time we return to Miami! Kudos Grafa Pizza and thank you for an unexpectedly great meal! Edit: Came back the next day for a second round before flying out, my wife was able to try the gluten free pasta, and it was absolutely DELCIOUS! read more
Don't judge this establishment based on its size, judge it on its flavorful renditions. I came to get my Carbonara on and from the sight of it, you can tell I was satisfied. Halfway through my pasta, I was offered a slice of cheese pizza which I couldn't resist. I mean who says no to cheese pizza?! With my Pellegrino by my side, I knew I could take it on and so I did. With service like this, I'd gladly return for more. Everything was delicious! The outdoor patio is perfectly adorned resembling a tidbit of a quaint Italian village although it's located in the heart of south beach. From the moment I walked in, superb service accompanied the aromas of Italian fare which was much more than I expected from a small eatery like this. I can adamantly say I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and craftsmanship behind every dish they create. The friendly and hospitable service is unlike anything found in the area and I'll surely be back for more. read more

We visited Grafa in Miami Beach for dinner on a Tuesday night. Ambience - it is a small pizza/pasta restaurant where you can expect a quick lunch/dinner. Outdoor seating is the better option since inside it is a very small place and there are only a couple tall booth-like chairs. Outside seating is also a very small area right on Washington Av. Plenty of Italians visiting for dinner which gave the place an authentic feel! Food/ presentation - the bread to start was homemade and very delicious, kind of like pizza crust. We then ordered two types of pastas: truffle mushroom and tomato basil. I truly loved the tomato basil because it was so simple and fresh. The truffle mushroom lacked flavor and the primary taste was of cream; the truffle was barely there. However, the mushrooms were tasty and the pasta was perfectly cooked. We then ordered a pizza - half Diavola (pepperoni) and half caprese. The pizza was freshly made but a bit dry and I wish the caprese had full, instead of dices tomatoes. The nutella pizza we had for dessert was delicious! Topped with sprinkles and with two layers of nutella. The pasta was well- plated whereas the pizza was more fast-fare. Service - our Italian server was SO nice and attentive. She came by frequently to check up on us and was really glad we were enjoying the food. She was great! Price - great prices! They sell pizza by the slice for a quick pick me up as well! read more

Grafa Pizza is one of the most authentic Italian food you can find on Miami Beach. I absolutely love the service, food and menu options. The Gnocchi pasta was by far my favorite dish. Their pesto is so fresh and flavorful it paired perfectly with the Gnocchi. They also have fresh homemade bread & olive oil to pair with your pasta which is so soft. I also had the Bolognese pasta which was cooked to perfection! The meat sauce coated the pasta beautifully which allowed for a little sauce & pasta in every bite! Lastly, I enjoyed the Tiramisu which is also made in house! The custard in the desert was light and sweet which balanced well with the coffee flavor. In all, Grafa is absolutely a great place to go when your looking for something tasty in Miami especially during late nights. read more
