Strange Beast - Pizza Near Me - Miami, Florida

Of all the pizza places in Miami, this one is the closest to my house. It would really have been a home run if it was my favorite, but sadly it did not make it. Not that the pizza isn't good; it just isn't great. And it is not because of the ingredients as they all tasted fresh and delicious. It is the preparation. Now let me set some foundation here. I have lived in Rhode Island where pizza is a staple. I have lived in New York and Connecticut, which, despite being neighboring states have entirely different ideas of what the perfect pizza is, and I had the good fortune of the best of both. I have lived in Massachusetts we're outside of the north end of Boston pizza is largely very mediocre and I give all this information just to tell you that I have an established standard for pizza that may differ from other peoples. My favorites come out of coal fired brick ovens. So I was pretty excited about trying Strange Beast. They use a gas fired pizza oven that reaches the same temperatures as the ones to make apizza but they make a Neapolitan pie which traditionally has a soft center whereas Apizza is baked longer to achieve a sturdy, crispy crunch. And this is the part that disappoints me. That soft center does not hold the toppings well and makes the pizza droop when you pick it up. Much like the New York pizza that you have to fold over to keep the toppings from falling off, this pizza just did not have that firmness that I love so much. And on this evening when I ordered the Swamp Thing (Mozzarella, Ricotta, Red Onion, Cherry Tomatoes, Pesto) the center actually seemed raw. Somehow, despite having all my favorite flavors, it looked beautiful on the pan, but flopped over and lost its appeal when it was picked up the flavors all in all were pretty good. The restaurant itself has a pretty cool vibe and the servers were superb. In addition to grieving great service, they were friendly and engaging. This is kind of a highlight of the restaurant. This review is based on a single experience and I will probably try it again. I may ask them to cook the pizza well done to see if it comes closer to what I like. I can't give it my highest recommendation, but I would never give it less than four stars based on even the service alone. So I will be back again an update this sometime soon. read more

Stranger Beast Pizza is hands down my favorite spot when I'm craving amazing pizza in a super chill atmosphere. The vibe is always fun and relaxed, they've got awesome beer selections, and their karaoke and bingo nights make it even better. My absolute favorite pizza is the Tight End -- house sauce, mozzarella, chopped pepperoni, finished with a swirl of pesto and hot honey. The sweet and spicy combo is unreal. It's seriously the best! If you haven't been yet, you're missing out! read more

Had a really good experience this visit. Went around 7:30 and didn't even know it was happy hour but that was great, big discounts. Tried the tight end which was really delicious and will be getting again. Also tried the Doug's white which was good. They have lots of beers - the two we wanted to try were not available so they recommended others which were tasty. Will be back. Thank you! read more

For a pizza place I have to say, not really surprised with the outcome...they added beer and drinks too wich can really hipe up the quality, already declining, of the neighborhood. The point of this review is the online and to go orders section... they really need to do better. One hour to pickup two pizzas, regardless of the circumstances, it's unacceptable for a pizza joint. read more

Fun night of karaoke to do on Thursdays! Sake is really good and decently priced. Employees are nice :)

Okay so I guess I'm the last person to finally visit this spot. I loved it! The vibe is laid back and the li e music was great. Guy on the guitar had some serious skills. We came on a Friday and enjoyed a delightful mushroom.pizza and the truffle airlines potatoes. We had several.glasses of chardonnay and watched how quickly the place got packed. ove the decor as it's a mix of then, now and some cool memorabilia. Staff was real nice and attentive. Only thing I would say is get there early cause parking can be a mission at times, but it's all good and worth it! read more

The good here never disappoints and they have a great selection of beers - I like the morning glory (blonde ale) and the rizz (Pilsner). My go to pie here is Gen Hogzilla and incredible meat lovers pizza 1 don't forget the hot honey!! Ambiance is always chill here - sometimes can be lively depending on the crowd and whether or not they have a DJ playing when you visit. Service consist of walking up to the counter and placing your order with the bartender. Nothing. Fancy, but it works All in all a great local spot and place to come get good personal pizzas. read more

Great experience at Strange Beast in Kendall! As soon as we opened the door and walked in, Rob greeted us and gave us the rundown on the meatball and beer specials. He was super welcoming! He recommended the Robaoke pizza and it was SO good! Vaca frita with red onions and chimichurri! Where else can you get that on a pizza in Kendall?? We also tried 3 other types of pizza and while they all were flavorful, the Robaoke was my favorite. The whole place has such a cool, chill vibe. Rob mentioned their epic Thursday night karaoke, and they have other weekly events that I checked out on their IG page. So glad I heard about this spot! read more

I LOVE STRANGE BEAST!!! I discovered this place right before the pandemic so it was my go to during that time. The service is always amazing and while the staff changes from time to time they never disappoint. I love the cauliflower bites even though they changed the recipe. The margherita pizza is delicious as well as the lomo saltado pizza. They have various events during the week, my favorites being bingo night and karaoke night. They're open late which is awesome. This is a great spot for date night, casual outing with friends, or a solo date. My favorite day to go is Saturday for lunch because they're not as busy read more

The Pizza ! environment the prices are great Customer Service great environment to have your family

Still one of the best pizzas I've had in Miami! The Willy dropped the sauce and the chopped Pepperoni pizza is my go to. I always add a ton of veggies to the pizza and some chili flakes to give it a kick. The service is really good. Everyone is so nice and playful. It's also a bar. There's rock music always playing and everyone seems to be enjoying their pizza and beer. Wednesdays are trivia nights. Some nights are bingo nights, some nights have live music, etc. Every night at Strange Beast is enjoyable, whether you're participating in the games, having some pizza or you're just there for the drinks. If you're in the area, or even if you aren't! I definitely recommend Strange Beast read more

Strange Beast is a great brewery in the Kendall area! Came here after a tournament at the nearby Deta Pickleball Club to celebrate with some pizza and brews. Parking here is a bit tough if it gets packed but since we came right when it opened at noon, it wasn't so bad. It shares a parking lot next to the gas station with a few other businesses including a mechanic shop and Sweet Melody. There is a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating. Since the weather was nice, we opted to sit outside on the picnic tables. We ordered inside and were able to try some of the beers on tap. I ended up getting the hazy IPA because I love IPAs. If you like some of their sours or lagers that come in the cans, it might be a better deal to buy a 4-pack. The guy who was helping us while we were ordering was super helpful and chill. When we ended up ordering more beer with a 4-pack, he offered to keep some of the cans in the cooler so that the beer can stay cold for when we're ready to drink them. We also ordered some pizzas. They were out of a lot of meats but we still chose some good ones including the Shroom 2.0 and the Doug's White and added meatball crumble and the spicy chorizo. My favorite between the two was definitely the Shroom 2.0! You can see them making the pizzas inside and when their ready, your buzzer goes off so you can pick it up! Overall, a great "Brewpub" in the area! read more

Had a great time with the guys at Strange Beast. Super chill vibe with great Neopolitan style pizza made in their authentic oven. I tried a few of their pies and they were all really good. The beers are from Lincoln's beard so that means quality local brews , my favorite is the Chet Belgian Tripel...strong and delicious. Looking forward to more pizza and beers here! read more

Strange Beasts used to be my go-to weekend refuge--good beer, chill vibes, no chaos. Emphasis on used to. Now? It's basically Chuck E. Cheese with craft brews. What was once a peaceful, adults-only sanctuary has turned into a loud, sticky, iPad-blaring free-for-all. Screaming kids running wild, birthday parties like it's a bounce house rental, and parents who apparently think "brewery" means "playground with pilsner." I came here to drink beer, not dodge toddlers playing tag between tables. There are fewer and fewer places left where adults can just relax without a side of daycare energy--and this spot, sadly, sold out its grown-up vibe. Haven't been back in a while, and probably won't be. RIP to the Strange Beasts I once loved. read more

My first time here and we decided on Karaoke Thursdays which starts at 9pm and goes until 2 am. Food-- we loved the food options! My cousin does not eat meat so we ordered the roasted cauliflower and the papas Santeras both were so good and filling! For pizzas we split the Shroom and Margherita and both were very nicely done. Drinks-- I ordered the Apple cider and that was my drink of choice for the entire night. My friends ordered the Morning Glory, Chet, P.Swayze and loved them. Karaoke -- the Dj was incredible and really killed every song he performed. The talent in the place was insane. I spent most of the night being awestruck but I loved it and would be back. It gets very packed and there is definitely a group of Karaoke regulars but a fun gem in Kendall. The service was great and the staff members also performed a few songs and killed it in between taking drink orders. read more

The pizza was really good. Light and crisp dough. Not overloaded with cheese. The Tight End was so perfect with Hot Honey and Pesto. The Staff are super friendly and the vibe is low-key. There was a Mentalist/Magician there who was freaking talented! And that was an added perk, way better than staring at a TV screen watching a game you can't hear! read more

I've been coming here for about 4 1/2 years before it felt like the vibe of the place was amazing. You used to be able to talk to the staff and get to know them, beer was amazing, pizza was inconsistent at the time but "hey it's a bar". Now it feels so weird, what used to be a cool place for adults to relax is now slowly turning into a place where people bring their kids to run around and play while the adults drink. To avoid this we used to just sit outside in the seating area but now that's gone too. If you go too late now, you're forced to take your pizza and beer to-go or sit outside. You can't even make out what the person in front of you is saying because the music is so loud. But hey props on them for become more consistent with their pizzas. I spent $31 on just 2 pizzas and a soda. Crazy read more

Funky little hipster pizza joint in Kendall. I like the draft beer selection.
