While Miami may be better known for pastelitos or pan cubanos, the city’s pizza scene often goes overlooked. From huge pieces to a happy hour meal, here are The Panther’s top five pizza places in Miami:
Casolas
Casolas is famous for its oversized thin-crust pizza slices and sandwiches. While this is a no-frills establishment, the pizza, garlic knots and subs make for a great lunch. Located along South Dixie Highway near Vizcaya, Casolas is a perfect place to grab lunch or dinner after going to the beach on Key Biscayne, perfect during Miami summers.
Maxwell Bros Clothing Store
At first glance, Maxwell Bros Clothing Store is a store anyone would drive past and think nothing of. But do not let the name fool you, Maxwell’s has some of the best and most sought-after pizzas around. Maxwell’s is a Palmetto Bay staple and always a great spot for the whole family with a cool artistic atmosphere. The pizza is thin crust and fresh with a variety of options, and overall the pizza always hits the spot and the restaurant is always in high spirits.
Anthony’s
Popular South Florida pizza chain, Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza and Wings, is making the list with its famously charred pizzas. The pizza is mouth-watering, with bubbly crusts and perfectly baked dough. There are a variety of unique flavors to try with the Margarita and Carnivori being classic choices. Aside from their pizza, Anthony’s also has delicious chicken wings and garlic knots that add to the overall appeal of the restaurant.
Spris
Spris, located in South Miami, Lincoln Road and Midtown, is one of the best places for an affordable slice of pizza. The prices range from $13 to $20 for a whole pie. The Spris happy hour menu goes from 5-7 p.m.; you can pay for a selected pizza at the price that you order. For example, if you order at 5:30 p.m. the price is $5.30. This is a great deal with good quality food at an affordable price.
Miami’s Best Pizza
Miami’s best is a classic Miami location and pizza joint. Serving pizza by the slice and whole pies, flavor options come in garlic, spinach, cheese and more. The restaurant has been well-loved for decades. With a counter-style set-up and also offering subs and garlic rolls, Miami’s Best is a classic late-night grab.
