Came here by pure coincidence while waiting for my car nearby, and wow... what a hidden gem Marakas Pizza was the closest spot within walking distance, and I'm SO glad it was. From the moment I walked in, everything felt welcoming, clean, and full of good vibes--but the real star? The food. The pasta is authentic and absolutely amazing--full of flavor and clearly made with care. The croquetas were perfectly done, and the service was excellent from start to finish. If you're anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and stop in. What started as a random choice turned into such a great experience. Definitely coming back! read more

Marakas Pizza - Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo Bacon Pizza (Small 10") - Pizza Near Me - Miami, Florida

First of all, as noted by other reviewers, this place is Cuban-style pizza (it's a Miami thing). It's 90% like an Italian pizza, but just know it's different. The reason I go to Cuban-style pizza joints is for their cheese cream (or soups) -- thick and delicious, especially the Virginia, where they throw in diced ham. It's a beautiful restaurant with great service. My wife (Italian-American) had the chicken fettuccine and she very much enjoyed it. Will definitely recommend and visit again. read more

I was unexpectantly in the area around mealtime and had some time to kill. I stopped for a very quick snack. I sampled their four cheese 10 inch pizza. I sampled their house salad. Service was fast and friendly. This was a first for me trying a Cuban style pizza. I enjoyed it, but I definitely prefer Italian style pizzas. I found the Cuban pizza to be too doughy and thick. read more

Excellent experience. The pizza was outstanding--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. The service was equally impressive: very friendly, attentive, and welcoming. To finish, I had a Cuban cortadito, which was the perfect ending to the meal and really sealed the whole experience. I highly recommend this place if you want great pizza and excellent service. read more

Easy place to get to. Next to BJ's. Lots of tables inside and a few outside. We had a pizza and steak sandwich. Both are very good. I'll ask for the pizza well done next time. And the fries with the sandwich are great. read more

This is the new Marakas Pizza on Coral Way near the BJs shopping center. The service here is always top notch. Very nice people. The food here is excellent. If you enjoy Cuban pizza this is by far one of the best in town. They also have a huge menu full of items that aren't Cuban pizza. You can even get skirt steak here. The milkshakes are super yummy and they have tons of cold beer. The wings are not bad. They have massive salads here that you can choose from. My favorite Cuban pizza here is the chorizo pizza. It's my favorite. Plenty of seating on the inside and the outside. Everything in here is fairly new. This restaurant was done completely new. I believe this is their 2nd location in Miami. The first and original location is on Bird Road SW 40th Street, close to West Kendall. read more

Pizza was undercooked (even though I requested extra crispy) and had cheap ingredients. I'm from NY, so I know good pizza. Wings are absolutely terrible. I have no idea how this place has such a high avg rating. read more

Pizza has ingredients baked below cheese...fascinating...and delicious! Everything about the pie was top notch. Our new go-to pizza. PS - you won't get that feeling from decor, has a Euro vibe, but the pizza is All- American in flavor read more

It was my first time here and all the food was delicious! I loved the pizza it was very cheesy and they really load it with the toppings you choose. My favorite were the empanadas which we tried one of each and none of them disappointed! Finally the yuca frita was solid similar to other places I've tried around Miami. The place has plenty of seating and fast service. Fue mi primera vez aquí y toda la comida estuvo deliciosa. My encantó la pizza con mucho queso y la llenan de lo que tú escojas. Mi parte favorita fueron las empanadas que tratamos una de cada y ninguna estuvo mal. Al final la yuca frita estuvo muy buena pero igual a muchos otros lugares en Miami. El lugar tiene muchos asientos y muy buen servicio. read more

Great ambiance and food! If you're craving cuban style pizza, this is your spot. The spaghetti with ham was delicious and we also ordered a pan con bistec (steak sandwich). Prices are great and everything is super clean with friendly service. The 5 beers for $15 happy hour is pretty good. Pizza Friday spot! read more

Visited Marakas after looking for pizza options via Yelp and I am 100% so happy I connected to them. I placed my order online and was able to capitalize on some discounts/specials so I definitely recommend ordering from online. Also keep in mind there's two locations as I ordered from the wrong location and they offered to make it at the location I was at but it was only a 20ish drive so I made it. Both locations when you enter are very modern and well designed: it's very welcoming too! Now the food, hands down one of my favorite pizzas. It feels like a pan pizza and the bread, crust, cheese, sauce just really brings it al together and while I was full I wanted more. The small was supposed to be cut into four slices however it wasn't cut; I assume that's because it was to go but I had no issues cutting it myself. The garlic knots are also so delicious and flavorful. My only feedback would be they should provide some marina sauce as this would have taken it to the next level. I highly recommend this pizza place and will visit again during my next Miami trip. read more

Very cozy place and quiet, love their spaghetti and pizzas, convenient location, friendly staff, great prices.

Haven't posted anything on here in a hot minute but this is so worth it! I have scarfed down a large number of meat patties in my lifetime, including many here in south Florida but this one takes the championship. Pure heaven! A little pricey but definitely worth every penny. Just do it! read more

Today my aunt ordered pizza for us and she bought me a personal cheese pizza. The cheese pizza was very tasty and very cheesy. My aunt also ordered garlic bread and it was delicious. The service was good and slightly fast. The ambiance idk since I haven't been inside the restaurant before. I ate the whole pizza and it was very filling read more

Marakas Pizza - Cheese Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Miami, Florida

We tried this place after seeing the reviews in Yelp. We liked the place-- food was good and the service was nice and friendly! We ordered Lasagna to share and a meat lovers pizza! Delicious. Best of all--the dessert of guava flan was awesome! Thank you! read more

My friends recommended this spot for Sunday dinner, and it WAY surpassed expectations. I ordered one of their combos, which are all very reasonably priced. For $16, I got a small cheese pizza, cheese spaghetti (enough to share), 4 garlic knots and 2 canned sodas. The pizza is bready and perfectly crispy on the outside. If you're a thin crust fan, this type of pizza may not be for you. The spaghetti is very saucy and you really gotta mix the cheese in, but also delicious. Garlic knots were tasty, so we ordered a second round for the table. My friend ordered the guava pizza that substitutes guava with tomato sauce and it's a MUST TRY. Definitely getting one of those next time. The service is very kind, quick and attentive. It's in a small strip mall, so plenty of parking to be found. read more

Looking for a great Cuban Pizza, this place by far is the best in MIAMI. Small place on Coral way right next to BJs Wholesale Club. Spaghetti is delicious and if you love cheese you will love it more, they really pound the cheese on this one. Ham and cheese empanadas were delicious. The service was average, our waitress was very nice bit lacked a bit of training. Everything in this place was great. Go give them a try, I know I will definitely be back. One last thing I forgot to mention Monday through Friday they have a lunch special for $4.99 which includes 1 item and a soda, the portions are huge. You will love it. read more

Tried it out of curiosity. Their pizza is very good, with a very interesting flavor. They have a nice set of toppings but you can pick your own. The place is decorated in an industrial looking format but very pleasant. The staff is cordial and attentive. We will be back to try their other menu dishes. read more

I love Marakas! It is by far my favorite Cuban pizza. I usually get the ham and cheese pizza and for dessert the guava and cheese pizza. You MUST try the guava and cheese pizza if you haven't had it yet. It is a great combination of sweet and salty. I also really enjoy their spaghettis with extra tomato sauce. I usually order delivery and they're super quick. I give this place a 10/10. read more

Just happened to drive by this strip mall and found this New Gem on Coral Way !! Right behind the Pollo Tropical.I opened the door and was completely surprised by the up to date decor . Sat down and was greeted by the staff with a Picture Style Menu which I love !! Its reminds me of a Fancy Menu from Dennys , but in a good way ! The Malanga fritters were cooked to perfection and served with a delicious sauce. We also ordered the churrasco appetizer which was delicious too... Our main course was the Lasagna that was served in a ceramic skillet to keep it hot Overall our experience was great ! Go check out this reasonably priced restaurant. You won't be dissatisfied read more

This review is based on one medium mushroom pizza purchased to go. Very tasty. Very doughy - if you like NY style - this is not it. Two pieces filled me up and I am a big eater. It's made for a very good breakfast the next day. The waitress was very sweet while i was waiting outside. offered me water and checked up on me. read more

Not authentic pizza. Tasty cheesy, saucy , heavy. Perfect for a hangover. The Cuban appetizers were good. Nice, clean atmosphere. Good for a quick bite when in the area. Also for families and bigger groups for a casual lunch/dinner. Takeout was quick. Friendly, attentive service. Overall I recommend if in area or takeout. read more
