Almost didn't want to post because all you think about is how to keep this place to yourself but greatness can be shared in this instance :-) Can't say enough about the service, super friendly and attentive staff all around. Most authentic Italian food I've had and it enough to want to keep coming back and enjoy :-) read more

Excellent pizza! The Toto meatball pizza had great flavors with the basil pesto and cheese. I had an early dinner and it was not busy, the pizza came out very quick! Staff was fantastic, very attentive and friendly! The outside patio was nice, only downside is the stores that border the restaurant and street traffic. read more

This place is a dream!! It is so cute inside and very well decorated, definitely instagram worthy. I can safely say the food matched the vibes, it was good and had amazing flavor. I would personally skip the appetizer trio we ordered, it was kinda lackluster and a little cold, however the pizza made up for it. Overall a good spot for some authentic Italian. read more

Great pizza. Reminds me when we visited Italy, fresh tomatoes,mozzarella and crust all done in a wood fired oven

Found this place by accident and had the veggie pizza. It was really tasty! As a native New Yorker, I wish the crust didn't get soggy as I am used to a toasted bottom. However it was good. Tomato and fresh mozzarella was a hit! Ambiance was casual and service amazing! read more

Il Pizzaiolo - Veggie Pizza and Tomato and Mozzarella - Italian Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

I live in the neighborhood and figured I'd give it a try. I read the articles about the young pizzaiolo coming over from Italy to open this shop in the middle of tourist central, so I didn't expect much. Wow, was I surprised. My reference here is based on eating only one thing here (twice): the pizza margherita. It's superb. I've done the pizza tours of the great historic pizza restaurants in Naples, and this is every bit as good. And as good (or better) than the "legendary" Neapolitan pizza maker around the corner. There's a lot of things on the menu, but it's all about the pizza. The staff is incredibly nice and welcoming as well. read more

Very intimate place, with spot lighting on the table, close tables and very Italian decor. To complete the experience, there was also Italian music playing, which made it super romantic and perfect for couples. We ordered two pizzas and loved them. Super fresh dough, delicious flavor and several options to choose from (you can go back a few times without repeating the menu). The only thing we missed was some olive oil and bread as a starter to have the full Italian experience. read more

This is a long review! You have been warned. I don't know what to compare this place to that I have actually been to. I imagine I could find a place just like this in Italy if I were there. Instead here I am in South Beach enjoying this authentic Italian fare. We are dining in an area where there Maítre D of each establishment is out front to invite you to come dine with them. They are a persistent bunch that don't accept your first, second, or third no for an answer! LOL Well it was a waiter at Pizzaiolo, Anas, a young Moroccan man that talked us into trying this place out. Showing us the menu he kept emphasizing a term used throughout each item, D.O.P. It's an Italian acronym for "Denominazione di Origine Protetta,". Translated means Protected Designation of Origin. For the sake of ingredients on the menu that are labeled DOP, it means This label guarantees that products you are eating are strictly grown, produced and packaged locally. So this food was authentically Italian down to some of the main ingredients! How could we not give this place a try, right? We started with and split a Parmigiana. Stacked slices of oven baked eggplant. No breading, just eggplant with sauce and mozzarella between each slice of eggplant topped with finely shredded Parmesan and a basil leaf. It tasted as fresh as it looked. The sauce was flavorful without any particular seasoning dominating it. We enjoyed this different to us take on Parmigiana. Next we ordered pizzas. Mine was a plain old cheese and pepperoni. Mind you each dish was named in Italian and I don't recall, nor did I take pics of the menu to tell you the Italian name of these pizzas. My wife ordered a pizza that came topped with artichokes, mushrooms, and Kalamata olives. It was also supposed to have prosciutto but she didn't want that. We were told that the size of a pizza meant we should each order our own to have a good portion. LIES! We could have definitely split one pizza! The dough was so light in texture. It reminded me of freshly made Naan bread. It was very good along with the sauce cheese and toppings. The pepperoni was spicy and good. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her pizza as well. We both really like the dough. Side note, the dough is heavily featured in the desserts offered. Bottom line, good service, delicious food in a nice setting. read more

Excellent food close to Miami Beach. Prices are fair and quality of food is high. The restaurant is well decorated and service was attentive. I had Ronye as my server and he was very kind. I actually ended up going here twice on my most recent visit to Miami. Love their pizzas. read more

My husband and I tried this pizzeria this evening for our dinner. We were greeted promptly by a very friendly waiter who sat us down right away even though we were early for our reservation. He was very kind and attentive. He was also very helpful when ordering as we had never tried authentic Italian pizza. This restaurants ambiance is very romantic and welcoming. I love the decor, and the whole feel of the place! The price was also decent compared to other places we've gone to. The pizza was so tasty and everything seemed to be so fresh! read more

Hands down one of the best pizza spots I've been to in a long time. From the moment you walk in, the place feels welcoming and the staff is super friendly and attentive. The pizza itself is on another level--perfectly crispy crust, fresh toppings, and just the right amount of sauce and cheese in every bite. You can tell everything is made with care and quality ingredients. Whether you're dining in or grabbing it to go, the experience is consistently great. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the flavor speaks for itself. read more

The pizza is sooo good! We visited for dinner once and got delivery for lunch shortly after. The food is phenomenal. They make my favorite style of pizza with the soft crust. We had the meatball one and the pistachio/mortadella and they were equally fabulous. Our server was friendly, but the restaurant was busy and it took a while to get our pizza. It was certainly worth the wait! However, the restaurant was cold! I preferred having their pizza delivered through Uber Eats. Highly recommend :) read more

I called to place an order for pickup since I'm a few blocks away and my group wanted to order some food. I call them on their phone and the guy says "we can't do order over the phone , Uber Eats or door dash only" so it's like wtf? Why even have a phone? Why make the customer do more when you could just take my order right there? Lazy. I wouldn't recommend a pizza place who can't even take an order over the phone. read more

The pizzas were amazing! We got the Regina Margarita and the Maradona, they were very flavorful and fresh. We would love to come back

A quaint Italian restaurant with a HomeGoods/homecoming lemon decor. Fairly crowded with locals and tourists. One server and two runners left a lot to be desired in terms of timing. Not quite Miami normal because the waiter was charming and clearly running around trying to service every table. We almost finished our beverages before the food arrived. The Cesar salad was like you gave up half way, and was overpriced for the portion (see picture). The pizza was very good, but can't hold up to the rest of the experience in terms of a repeat visit. There are too many other places in South Beach delivering a better experience. Their web site states they are taking place in Miami Spice. Apparently that was not the case. There is a tv showing the action in the kitchen on a live feed. A 20% gratuity comes directly on the bill. We tried! read more

Crust is too big. Pizza is raw dough. Gross.dont love this pizza AT ALL. Delivery is even worse.

Quite good pizza though very thin and small for the price and the cook was stingy on the basil, giving us two little leaves. Biggest complaint is the outrageous $17 price of the worst Caesar salad of all time which consisted of a few chopped pieces of romaine, a little shredded cheese and dressing which should have been priced at maybe $6. Owner needs to up his game; we won't be back. read more

Five stars for Pizzaiolo and Sofie / Sofia who served professionally, suggested great food, and made a visit to Pizzaiolo pleasant. Ambience was truly Italian with staff that speaks Italian. It is great to have a top pizzeria in our neighbourhood. I will come back for sure! read more

The best Neapolitan pizza in South Florida. The Magarita Regina is fantastic every visit.

Incredible experience. Perfect pizza, perfect service, perfect restaurant. We go to the best Neapolitan pizza restaurant in every city we visit and we've had really good pizza. This puts them all to shame. The crust was a pillowy delight. The sauce was perfectly balanced. The cheese was phenomenal. We got the bruschetta with the best prosciutto di Parma I've had. We came because it had a perfect 5.0 from more than 1,500 reviews. It's well deserved. We'll be here every time we come to Miami. read more

I picked this place in advance due to a specific dish (gnocchi with pistachios). I was very bummed to find that they didn't have it when we arrived! However, we ordered a pistachio pizza which was very tasty. It is a bit pricey for one (a hungry person could easily finish it). The dough is very thin. The appetizer (ball with melted cheese) on the inside was delicious. The server was very sweet and helpful. She gave us a coupon for $20 off a future visit. We were on vacation and who knows when we'll be back in sobe. They do have outdoor seating which wasn't available. Good date place. read more

First time here we sat outside. I probably won't do that again table was "on" the street. traffic passes to close. Plus the inside has very a pretty buildout. Food wise. It was good. Pizza tasted good but to soft/soggy middle third. The burrata was excellent. Caesar salad had almost no dressing on it. And it is "their" Cesar salad dressing. It was grilled. Very different. Our waitress was fun. And attentive. read more

Don't go here! We had a confirmed reservation but when we arrived with our party of 13, they told us no tables were available so we would have to wait 20-30 minutes. Hosts were rude and there was NO way we would be seated in that time frame. Took our business elsewhere and had a much better experience! read more

Raffaele was a very good server. Highly recommend this place. Food was outstanding. He was so epic and made the experience so good here.

Absolutely fantastic. Authentic Neapolitan pizza, great vibe, super friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Impeccable food, service and atmosphere. Camilla was the best waitress encounter I've had in a long time. WONDERFUL SPOT. read more

Il Pizzaiolo - Calamari and shrimp. Add the chili oil and oregano....thank me later. - Italian Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

I really liked this place. Most authentic Italian pizza I have found outside of Italy. Decor is cute and I love that they have a live camera in the kitchen so you can see exactly what they are doing with your food. Every restaurant should do this! The focaccia appetizer was delicious and so was my margarita pizza. My partner had the truffle pizza and the truffle mayo they use is fantastic so get that if you love truffle! It was a bit on the pricey side for the location (Washington Ave) and the fact that it's pizza which is why I deducted 1 star. Quality is very good though. read more

Great experience! My friend and I split a Caesar salad and a pepperoni pizza--both were perfect. The salad was fresh and well-dressed, and the pizza had just the right amount of spice. Perfect portion for sharing--satisfying but not too heavy. The place was spotless, and the staff was super attentive. Would definitely go back! Best of luck to this brand new addition to Washington Ave. read more

Enjoyed dining here on their outside patio area. It was decorated very festive and cute. Our wonderful waitress Bonita was spot on for all of her recommendations for the classic Mojito, Maradona pizza, and large Caesar salad. It was plenty of food to share with my husband. They only had one dough to offer, not gluten free or multigrain but it was an amazing pizza. We would definitely recommend this place and come back here again if we were staying longer. Thank you for a wonderful experience. read more

Great food and great service. We ordered the calamari and shrimp appetizer--I said it was the best fried shrimp I ever had. Our waiter Lorenzo was just great. He recommended a delicious pizza I haven't tried and it hit the mark. Pistacchio gnocchi was also very nicely done in a pizza crust dish. Beautiful evening on their patio with a nice breeze. read more

This restaurant is horrible, especially , for non-Italians. I stopped by for lunch because they had a good rating in Yelp, it wasn't the usual place I have pizza when I'm in South Beach. So, first, I had to wait a little to be notice, before I was seated, then once seated, an Italian man came in after me, and was served before I was served. Second, when other Italians arrived they were seated immediately. Third, once the server came to take my order, I ordered the Margherita pizza and added sausage and mushrooms; the server didn't not say that it would be a major up charge (I'm thinking maybe $1-$2). So the pizza comes with few crumbs of sausages and mushrooms. By the the pizza was not that good! Then 4th, the bill comes, this restaurant charged me $8 for crumbs of sausage and $7 for crumbs of mushrooms, the pizza itself was $15. This is RIDICULOUS!! I ask the the server and his answer was basically it is what it is; no empathy, no I'm sorry , no nothing (this is typical, because on south Beach they add a 20% service charge to your bill, so the server has no investment). So, I recommend that you AVIOD this restaurant, there are other much better Italian (pizza) restaurants to choose from in South Beach. read more

We order calzoni deep fried and margarita pizza . Calzoni was pretty good . It was a little different but my son enjoyed it. Margarita pizza I had better somewhere else, but it was still good. Togo we ordered margarita and pepperoni. When I got home in NC and saw the pizza's,I was disappointed. They both looked the same,but one had little pepperoni. The pictures had a lot of pepperoni and I felt like I ordered two margarita pizza and Please buy a larger bags to fit the Togo pizza's. I had really hard time carrying it on the bus and at the airport.The service was good. Nothing to complain about. read more

The food was excellent BUT they don't customize their pizza offerings and if you try, it will cost you!! I got a customized pizza and a Cesar salad with water and my bill was $62!! It was great but the server did NOT tell me that my changes would cost me extra! Service was attentive and inside the restaurant was decorated full Southern Italy style!! Very cute and a great representation of that area!! If you go, be aware of the silent costs!! read more
