Cheese pizza - sooooooo good
Lennette M.

Pleasantly surprised at how delicious this pizza was! I will definitely be returning and also trying other menu items!

Pizza Large con Jamn
Miguel P.

The pizza is delicious, so much cheese. One of the best cuban pizza I have ever had. I did takeout, but I went in the place and the ambiance was cozy. The service was fast and easy.

Frituritas de malanga

Excellent Cuban food and service!!! Everything tasted stupendous and the portions still as big as I remembered from several years back. The place is clean, good looking and cool temperature. The 3 young ladies and the 2 young gentlemen that served and interacted with our table were very helpful, attentive and extra nice. The crew also sang happy B-Day to our table and they did it Cuban style with the maracas (like their name) and all. The rest of the tables got involved clapping as the crew was passionate about it and attitude is contagious.

Lava cake

Lively atmosphere. Friendly staff. The pizza was delicious with a refreshing twist on a classic favorite, pepperoni and cheese. The pepperoni was flavorful, with a crispy crust, and very cheesy. I will return to explore more of their menu. And the Lava cake was delicious.

I know it has been a fat min since I wrote a review. However, I am back better than ever to write more reviews my fellow yelpers. That being said, I thought I start with Marakas Pizza ! I went here today for a late lunch with my best friend. We used to go here a lot when I lived in Miami, but since I moved, I did not have the time. More so, I did not want to drive all the way to Miami a lot. Anyways, I am really happy I went back to this place. I definitely enjoy the atmosphere of the place. It is kept very clean inside. They have a. private parking lot. The pretty waitresses were very sweet. Even though they had masks on, I had a strong feeling they were smiling at my friend and I. One of the waitress greeted us with a bottle of water and couple of glasses. She gave us a good amount to check out the menu. The place provided QR code menu sticker that was placed on the corner of the table. It did not take my friend and I long to know what we wanted to order :) We ended up ordering: Medium 14' Cheese Pizza - $12.88 Spaghetti Napolitano (Cheese) - $7.30 Thought about the food: Cheese Pizza, was indeed CHEESETASTIC haha CHEESELICIOUS haha. I loved how when I tried to take a slice of pizza, the cheese did not fall out of its place! The spaghetti Napolitano was a good choice to share with my friend. It was just cooked right :) My friend had said, "the prices of the dishes are very reasonable" I do have to agree with that. Plus, you will definitely have leftovers. Especially with the pizzas! My friend and I only had two pieces while enjoying the pastaaa :) [Oh!] I noticed how each table provided hand sanitizer. I thought that was generous of the place since we are still in a pandemic. I would definitely recommend my fellow yelpers as well as my future yelpers to check out this place. Not only do they have just 'Pizzaaa & Pastaaa', but they do have other delicious dishes ! Here is their menu: http://restaurant.marakaspizza.com/menus/

Pizza was decent. They have a very large variety of toppings and size choices. Pizza is a thick dough and plenty of cheese.

Price was adequate for the amount especially if you get the pizza combo with pasta, garlic rolls and a 2liter soda.

Sergio F & Italian food...goes without saying!…read more I came by with a group of friends Saturday night for sustenance after weekend activities in downtown and the beach. La Leggenda had been in my to try list, and finally had a chance to do so this weekend. We liked the fact that our waiter regularly checked on us, even resolving an issue with one of the glasses as soon as we pointed it out. Oh and having a corner table by the window to enjoy the Española Way street scene to perfection! The three of us decided to share two pizzas: their Margherita STG and the "Regina". Both had a perfectly thin and airy crust. The fresh basil and melted mozzarella do indeed make their margherita pizza truly award winning. The Regina Pizza was topped with a nice helping of perfectly salty prosciutto as well as baby tomatoes and greens. We also asked for extra sauce and chili oil which made the pie even better! Of course, there was dessert! With its crumbly graham cracker crust, creamy ricotta cheese and pear pieces this dessert made for a sweet ending and was enough to be shared between the three of us.

Quick and easy on a weekday. Neapolitan style. Held itself up. Toppings heavy. I prefer a bit more…read morechar on the crust but personal preference. A good number of creative options on the menu. Prices are as expected for Miami Beach. Could be personal sized. Was $28 so $40 after tip and tax Service was fast and attentive!

I usually avoid ordering pasta, it's just not my thing but their spicey 3 cheese fusili is killer! We love the pepperoni pie with onion. Sometimes we'll let the server pick our toppings just to experiment. Their Kale Caesar is delicious as well. Highly recommend the Mozzarella sticks. See cheese pull featured on photos. What's really neat is that this a NY based restaurant that people usually wait in line to try and get it but here on the beach we've never waiting more then 10-15min to be seated. Service overall is timed well. We never wait to be attended to and food always come out hot. Atmosphere is relaxed and not pretentious at all. Family friendly for sure and there are booths for small parties of 5-6. We love it there.

So my very high level of anticipation may certainly be partially to blame for my average-ish experience. I was pleasantly surprised to get a table with no wait at ~6:30 on a Wednesday evening. Staff were attentive and friendly. Prices were high, as expected, but at least the pizzas are of reasonable size. The $32 pasta portion probably could've been a bit more generous. But anyway, on to why we're all here - The Pizza: The crust had a great crunch but I felt lacked nuance beyond that, no chew and a touch on the dry side. Cheese and sauce were fine but also unremarkable. The heaps of basil provided some bright freshness that was definitely appreciated. I feel even more compelled now to try the NYC location for comparison! This wasn't a bad pizza by any stretch but not something I would ever pick over my favorite NYC standouts.

And while the pizza was tasty, if I'm being completely fair, it just wasn't memorable enough for me to understand the hype or feel like I needed to come back for it. I did end up coming back a second time to try the pasta, and unfortunately, that experience was disappointing. Both my friend's pasta and mine were significantly undercooked. What made the situation especially awkward was how it was handled. The waiter seemed almost bothered that we mentioned it, and eventually the owner came over and spoke to my friend, saying he would personally make sure hers was cooked properly. But he never asked about mine, even though mine was just as undercooked. When my friend's pasta came back, it was much better, but mine was never addressed. The whole interaction just felt strange and uncomfortable, especially considering we had the exact same issue at the same table. Between the pizza not quite living up to the expectations I had going in and the experience on my second visit, I'm glad I tried it, but I don't think it's a place I'd go out of my way to return to.
