50 Best Pizza Restaurants near University Park

“Great place if you are hungry and it is late or if you like to enjoy adult drinks. Reminds me of Applebees. The tuna tartar had a fishy flavor… the pretzel ? looks wonderful but very very bland. I would not come here again. Service friendly, bathrooms were clean. The pizza was fine.“

“Our server Sam was the best! Great personality as with all your staff. The Bianca pizza is sooo delicious! We are Italian and from NJ. You are doing it right! Your entrees are also delicious! We will see you next Winter when we return. Linda & Tom Sellitto“

“Walking in to this restaurant is like stepping into a small restaurant on the amalfi coast. The server, Natalia, was lovely. We started of our meal with the foccasia and bursts. Then we enjoyed the cacio pepoe which was good but lacked some of the pepper taste that usually comes it’s this dish. My husband had the black quid meal with muscles and he enjoyed it. The lasagna too was very tasty. We finished of our meal with the lemon cello desert which wa a wonderful way to finish off the meal. Overall, we really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. If you are in the are it’s definitely worth the visit.“

“We had the BEST experience at Mister 01 and cannot wait to come back! Our waitress, Abbey made all the difference. It felt like fine dining in Dallas’ Harwood District. Worth the wait on a Friday night. We had giggled about whether the pizza would really be “Extraordinary” and it actually was! Especially the crust. They also have gluten-free and vegan options. Be a sure you take the time to let your server give you the backstory on the restaurant. It’s pretty awesome!! The icing on the cake was upon leaving when Abbey gave us handmade origami hearts with encouraging words inside. She didn’t know it, but we sure needed those sweet words! Thank you Abbey and Chef for a wonderful evening.“

“Extremely relaxed vibe and decor. Had no idea this place existed till last year and it’s been a nice little gem since. The rotating beers on draft are extremely creative with the flavor profiles and branding. Outside of the average night, I visited twice before during a Smash Bros. Tournament and a UFC fight night and the place was packed but every order and customer including myself were attended to with absolutely no wait and incredible and honest service. If you have a taste for unique sours and IPAs, definitely give Spanish Marie a try and hopefully the bartender Chrystian will be there to give you his great recommendations!“

“Great food & great company!! Had the Rosti, the Loco, a cappuccino and a fresh squeezed orange juice. The Rosti was crispy and perfect! The eggs were nicely poached and the bacon was cooked just right!! Parked in the garage off Aragon Ave just east of Galiano Street. Paid $4 for parking.“

“Amazing service! Very friendly, food was amazing, ambiance 10 out of 10! Our group had the goat cheese croquettesto start then had the bacon cheese burger, the short rib sandwich, and the crispy chicken burger with ceasar salad and truffle fries and our plates were licked clean! Reanzo was our waiter and his energy and attention was great! We will for sure be back!“

“Came here with my sister had the best experience. The food and service were phenomenal! Remy (aka the mayor) really came through with the recommendations. Had the vegan burger and it’s hands down the best burger ive had in a while! Highly recommend this “

“I rarely write reviews unless it's memorable. From the moment I walked in and freestyle music was playing I knew this was going to be good. Place was packed but the service was good and fast. We had some spicy tequila cocktail which was great. We started with a caprese salad that was very good. But the pizza was the star of the show, amazing. We had half pepperoni and hot honey, and half mushroom white style, and both were awesome. I found a new spot!!!!“

“I was craving my usual favorite Detroit style pizza from vice city but they weren't taking deliveries so I decided to check out Mamma Dora's since everyone has been raving about it. Ordered via Uber eats so I will not blame them for my food arriving cold. After a 5 minute heat up, it was good as new. I ordered the mamma Dora's white pizza and their garlic rolls. The dough seems to be a bit on the sweeter side so I definitely don't recommend if you're not a big fan of that. I personally liked it but my family did not. The star of the show was 100% the garlic rolls, I regret only getting 6. While it satisfied my craving, I definitely want to go in person as I feel will be a much better experience.“

“We Love This Restaurant! Absolutely The Very Best Restaurant For Italian Food! This was our first trip to Miami and we ate several times at the Pizzarello because the food and service was so good. Thank you Yli for taking such good care of us. Your Italian food is just like the North End of Boston. Best, Marcia and Gary Parker“

“Great neighborhood restaurant with extensive menu options! Food, service, atmosphere are outstanding! Manny, Marcos and the rest of the staff make you feel welcomed and part of a family…highly recommend this gem! Thank you for making our brunch/reunion so special.“

“After all my searching of pizza in most places I finally found the one that tastes like New York pizza! Sure there's Casola's, don't get me wrong their really good and all but not the taste I was looking for.(Least since I'm really picky) This for sure is the best pizza I ever had in Miami!Downside is parking is kind of rough since it's hidden in a BurgerKing plaza making it completely overshadowed so makes it harder to find but I'm really glad I got to find this and try it out!Probably the only pizza place I'll ever go out of my way to drive to, not crazy expensive either as the prices are more reasonable and give you FAR bigger slices over whatever the hot mess common food chain pizza places give....They even give the classic 2 slices and a soda! :D“

“Pizzaiola is definitely an underrated gem nuzzled into the neighborhood of little Havana. Everything from the service down to the food was nothing less than great. The margherita pizza was phenomenal. The sauce was perfectly executed and the dough gave the pizza a perfectly even thin crust throughout the entire pie. I’m glad I stumbled upon this neighborhood staple. Definitely coming back!“

“This is my second time eating here. I had tried 3 pizzas and they are delicious! The service is quick and the pizzas are cooked to perfection and you can customize them too! Este lugar está bueno, y hasta puedes lavar el carro y que más comprarte hasta la lotería xico“

“We had the best experience with Pizza Italia's food truck at my daughter's birthday party! The pizzas were a huge hit with all the kids and adults. Everyone loved the delicious flavors and quality of the pizza. The truck was clean and well-organized. We were impressed with how quickly they were able to serve our large group. The kids had a blast watching their pizzas being made right in front of them. It was a fantastic addition to the party and made it a truly memorable day for my daughter. We can't wait to have Pizza Italia back for future events!“

“We hosted a Cancer fundraiser at Pummarlo. It was such a great time for a good cause. We loved having a pizza class, making the dough to take home and then eating a personal size pizza. The staff was amazing and so much fun. Will definitely be back. Great night out with delicious food.“

“I’ve been here multiple times. As a trained chef I am constantly amazed with the food here. Just a simple insight…the pizza dough is fermented or aged for multiple days, think of it like a wine matures with age is just a part of the complicated process of making this type of pizza dough. The dough is is light with a crisp outer level, made wit 00 imported Italian flour….large holes in dough where dough completes final rise in wood burning pizza oven. I prefer and suggest the simpler pizza like the classic margherita…. This allows you taste buds not to be overwhelmed and to enjoy the symphony of flavors, textures, smells, taste, feel.. short version of tasting notes: feel the texture the volume the crunch of the crust, then look at the volume and style of pockets of air that is influenced by the level of hydration which are then frozen by the heat oven, inhale the slight smokiness an contributions of the oven….. look for a light sour hint from the fermented dough, a hint of salt which tames the rising process. let your tastebuds continue the experience with tart hand crushed Italian tomato, and creamy mozzarella cheese that contribute to the symphony. For best experience partake when out of the oven as the nuances fade quickly ……….“

“I had never been but after all the advertising at the Miami Hurricane games I had to try it. Since the Hurricanes Spring game was on campus this year and the restaurant was 10 minutes away we made plans to go before the game. It was busy for lunch but there were still tables available. Free parking in front and behind building. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. We opted for indoor seating and were sat immediately. It smelled good inside. It was an old-school Italian joint with a paper placemat with a map of Italy and some fun facts. We ordered a cheese pizza, an order of baked ziti with pink sauce instead of meat sauce and 6 garlic rolls came complimentary. The garlic rolls were soft and filled with garlic- don't kiss anyone after this! The pizza was just ok. I think the sauce is what we didn't love. It was on the thin side, no flop, but that sauce had a very different flavor. My husband described it as "Spanish" pizza and he's Puerto Rican- I'm Italian American. The Baked Ziti was good but he said not as good as mine. I think he was just trying to stay in my good graces. I love that they support the school and love small businesses vs. chain establishment.Vegetarian options: Baked ziti can sub meat sauce for marinara“

“I loved the place, the service is excellent, my husband ordered a steak and it was very delicious, without a doubt, an excellent place to visit, ahh and highlight that they have a wide variety of ice creams. I ordered almond chocolate and I loved it, very good service.“

“Had some work in the area and this pizza place has been on my radar for a few weeks to try out. Decided to do a lunch since the proximity was too good to be true. We ordered a large pepperoni and some garlic knots. The pizza tasted great and the garlic knots were amazing! The pizza was crisp and the sauce was light and flavorful (not a heavy acid aftertaste). The service was great and it didn’t take too long to make our pizza. We sat outside to enjoy the day and it’s a nice little strip mall tucked away in the middle of a neighborhood. We were so full from the pizza that we didn’t get to try the desserts, but we were told they’re not bad so next time we’ll have to leave a little room to try out the desserts. Overall, this is a great pizza spot and it’s nice to see little places like this pop-up and have such an amazing quality of food.“

“Delicious, upper scale vibe without upper scale prices. From the silverware to the coffee cups, it is clear that the owners take pride in their restaurant. Food is far better in quality than any eateries I've ever visited. Without a doubt my family and I will visit again. Best Cuban pizza in Miami.Delicious with a more elegant atmosphere than other restaurants where they offer that type of food. Of course, the owners take pride in their restaurant. The food is of much higher quality. Without a doubt there to repeat! Best Cuban pizza in Miami.“

“Food and service were outstanding. The young man Alejandro was such a breath of fresh air, he was polite, willing to take time to explain the menu to us and made sure we were well taking care of. I am looking forward to future visits to your establishment to try more of your food.“

“Always an excellent experience, Horacio and his team provide great service, remember their repeat customers by name. Their Caesar dressing is the best I’ve ever had! The 29th of the month they have a gnocchi special - experienced it for the first time today - pesto, bolognese and prosciutto option were our favorite of the seven options presented.“

“I recently went to dinner with a friend to celebrate her divorce. The atmosphere was spectacular, I had never received such attentive and professional treatment, especially from Eric, simply great!! That night will always remain in my memory. The pasta was crazy. I recommend hehe“

“margarita pie was delicious, the grill was perfect on the bottom and crust. had an issue on Uber Eats, called the restaurant, they immediately worked with me to make sure I got what was missing. the people who work there are so kind and helpful.great pizza and great people who work there. TY for the absolutely awesome Margarita Pie!“

“This is the closest NY pizza you're going to get in South Florida. I've tried numerous spots spanning from Miami to Boca to West Palm and have only been let down. Paul is a stand up guy and knows how to fold the dough properly. Staff is incredibly warm and helpful. Sauce is good, but I prefer a touch more salt. I will keep coming back for sure!“

“This place is a hidden gem. The location is in an area you would not look for a place to eat. That being said, the food truck has been here for a few years and doesn't move. The owners have made a comfortable outdoor covered and landscaped area for sitting. The pizza was amazing. The crust was absolutely perfect. The outside and more importantly the bottom was crisp and inside was a soft chew. The service was very friendly and attentive. They also have pasta dishes including lasagna which looked delicious. I will definitely be going back. I highly recommend if you're in the area or not, it's worth going out of you way to try.“

“I recently dined at La Fontana Ristorante Doral, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! The pasta was cooked to perfection, the wines complemented the dishes beautifully, and the steaks were tender and flavorful. I left feeling satisfied and already planning my next visit.“

“What a sweet spot in the Cutler Bay area. Pizzas were so damn good you'll eat an entire one yourself. Drinks & alcohol selection is really good, people were awesome, and bonus ice cream shop next door. Gets real busy in the evening, especially on weekends. Parking is tough.“

“A must in miami !!! this hidden gem startled us back to rome ... as authentic as they come from the appetizers to the pizzas and pastas this little place is a worthy competitor for if not the best, one of the best trattoria's in the neighborhood ... kuddos to Michelle for the stellar service ?“

“Cotto is my to go restaurant. I know some people think it’s overpriced, which maybe so, but the food is always made fresh and delicious. They have a wide range of menu items throughout the day, and seem to have good customer service. Pictured in my review is the fried calamari and fries platter which is my favorite. All in all great restaurant. It is pricey, but they have daily specials.“

“- Without a doubt the best Italian restaurant in Miami, the attention of the clerks Eduardo and Gastón, as well as the welcome of Ms. Manager Marcela and without a doubt the exquisite pizzas of the pizza master of that restaurant. Pleased and of course I would repeat a thousand times more, thank you ??- Senza dubbio il miglior Italian ristorante a Miami, l'attenzione dei commessi Eduardo e Gastón, così come l'accoglienza della Signora Manager Marcela e senza squisite pizze del pizzaiolo di quel ristorante. Happy and obviously ripeterei mille volte, thank you.-Without a doubt the best Italian restaurant in Miami, the attention of the clerks Eduardo and Gastón, as well as the welcome of the Manager Marcela and without a doubt the exquisite pizzas of the master pizza maker of that restaurant. Delighted and of course I would repeat a thousand more times, thank you!!!“

“Absolutely loved this P. Pole. I'm an avid enjoyer of this food chain, but not all chains represent the company. The workers here were fast and efficient and even recommended sauce to go with my pizza choice. Overall I had a lovely time.“

“Is my first time eating here I was passing by with my niece after a Broadway show and we really enjoy it. The lemonade was from the house and it was delicious. And everything that we ate there was delicious made fresh. I really recommend this place. I'm coming again with my family.“

“An authentic Italian restaurant! we tried their pizzas, and they were delicious! They tasted so fresh, reminiscent of the ones we enjoyed in Italy. While they also offer some "Italian-American" dishes that aren't typical in Italy, it's nice they have those options available. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, but it's a small space, so consider that if you plan to visit during their busy hours.The only drawback was the hurried service from our server, which is unfortunately common in some places in South Florida. While I appreciate efficient service, I was still enjoying my pizza when she rushed to offer dessert and handed us the check before I had finished chewing. The food arrived quickly, and I understand the need to turn tables, especially in a small restaurant, but it wasn't particularly busy and no one was waiting for tables, so it felt a bit impolite.Overall, we loved the food, and the service, although speedy, was efficient. Just be prepared for a quick dining experience.“

“What an amazing find! This is the best pizza and pasta place in Miami. I have been looking for a place like this for a long time. Small and intimate, service was excellent, we were actually served bye the owner herself! She gave us a great pizza recommendation. The pizza is full of flavor, not too greasy; I normally don’t eat the crust and I ate the whole slice. I was pleasantly surprised carbonara was on the menu and had to get it. It did not disappoint. The red sauce for the sausage fettuccine was one of the best red sauces I’ve ever tasted. There are many pizza and pasta choice to choose from, you will never get bored of eating here. Can’t wait to go back. This is a family owned business that I am very happy to support and spread the word. Amazing!! A“

“This place serves a large selection of breakfast and lunch items throughout the day. From what I could see, they have all the standard drinks seen in coffee shops, nothing too fancy. My basic cappuccino made with oat milk was tasty and satisfying. The avocado toast was rather wonderful; it included a whole medium avocado and some delicious pickled onions. It was not at all stingy. Even on a quite busy afternoon, there's rapid service, good-sized tables, outlets, WiFi, and both inside and outdoor sitting. I'm happy I made the visit.“

“My family of 8 had a wonderful dinner here! The food was fresh and well prepared with great service. The decor is very basic and we were able to talk with each other; unlike some places that play loud music. The menu has a wide variety to choose from. Th kids and even the picky teenager found something they liked. Prices were also very reasonable, especially given the quality provided.“

“I went for dinner after fasting the whole day, hosted was nice bartender came to greet us and after that it went down hill he got busy at the bar and forgot about, refuse to apologize and service us he’s service kills are weak and he lacks hospitality , he’s words I don’t have serve you, I said fine get us someone else, Ito came to save the situation and I just asked him for the check, he refuse to give me the check for my soda BUT HE MADE GREAT RECOVERY AND GAVE US A NICE gentleman Josh.Thank you Josh and Ito.5 starts because of the recovery.“

“They are very gentle. The food is as close as you can get to a real Brazilian house. Erika and her team make you fell home. They are simple but with good food. They feijoada is a must have as well as the traditional pastel de carne e queijo .“

“I love this place! The food is excellent and very Italian. Everything on the menu is delicious. Fiocchi di Pera is a delicatessen. Every time, the experience is consistently excellent, with good food, attentive service, and a very relaxed, casual ambience. I hope they stay here forever.“

“On a Friday night why not take it advantage go for a walk to do some errands and some exercise to enjoy the start of the weekend. After all the errands we’re done the wife and I spotted this must small pizza place and said what the heck let’s give it a chance. We walked in, and we’re immediately greeted by the young lady in front (Melissa) and she was very patient with us as she explained most of the items on the menu and the toppings and the different arrangements they had. The interior is nicely decorated. They were playing music and have plenty of seating. We decided to order the three pizza special, the focaccia bread with pesto sauce, and the Nutella dessert. The food tasted fresh, was generous portion, was made quickly but most important the service was exceptional. Melissa really did a spectacular job. We had a pleasure of meeting one of the cooks. (Victor) and he was absolutely the bomb. You could tell when he was talking about the food preparation the passion he had for cooking as well as the pride he had in his dishes. Overall, we had a great experience, and it was nice to see a small business treat you with this personal touch that most big businesses lack. This is one of the major reasons that we support small businesses that only because of the local people are employees, but because of the personal touch as it gives you that you will find in any of these large chain restaurants. Great job Melissa & Vítor. If you are looking to have a good meal at a nice place, as well as a casual atmosphere this place won’t do you wrong.“

“I LOVE Miami's Best Pizza. Been eating it since the late 1970s. I don't think it tastes quite the same as when they were in their original location. The crust has gotten thinner (I prefer it thicker, chewier like it was), and the pizzas have gotten smaller :/ #thankspandemicinflation. The taste is still amazing but . . . the consistency is also off. Sometimes it's just too dark, burnt spots on the bottom. IDK I think if you go too early, the ovens are still too hot? #speculation ANYHOW. I LOVE it. It tastes amazing regardless. The Staff is friendly and it feels like the old place with the arch and the window and the color scheme. If it didn't make me fat, I'd eat it all the time. Mmmmmm pepperoni pizza grease! The garlic pizza cut in squares is the bomb!Parking: Drive past and pull in on the right for free parking (spaces are marked ("Miami's Best Parking Space")“

“My recent dining experience at Bugatti Bistro was a true culinary delight, offering a trifecta of Italian classics: pasta, wine, and dessert.First and foremost, the Italian pasta served was a masterpiece. Each dish boasted perfectly cooked pasta paired with mouthwatering sauces that danced on the palate. Whether indulging in a creamy carbonara or savoring a rich bolognese, every bite was a testament to the chef's mastery of Italian cuisine.Accompanying the delectable pasta was a selection of fine wines that perfectly complemented the flavors of each dish. From robust reds to crisp whites, the wine list at [Restaurant Name] showcased a curated selection that elevated the dining experience to new heights.To top off the meal, I had the pleasure of indulging in their apple pie, a true crowd-pleaser. The flaky crust enveloped tender slices of apple, delicately spiced and served with a dollop of freshly whipped cream. It was the perfect ending to an already impeccable dining experience.“

“Delicious pizzas with wonderful attention from Alondra! I have been many times and every time I return I try something different, so far everything is very delicious, good prices and a pleasant atmosphere, bring a sweater if you are cold because the a/c is “

“The Italian vibe is so present! Also, as a gluten free and lactose free eater, I recommend getting the gf and no cheese pizza with bacon, sausage and mushrooms (tomato sauce as well obviously). Then I like to drown it in olive oil haha. A great alternative for when you’re going to eat Italian with friends and don’t want to take the risk of gluten and dairy!“

“I do not know why this place only gets 4.7, it should be al least 4.9.. this is a take-out place. Pizza taste is very good; dough was flaky and puffy, right amount of thickness, tomatoes sause on point and taste fresh, cheese flavor on target. Crust was perfect and woody flavored.. overall great PIZZA.. I will order again..“
