Angelo Elia Pizza Bar Tapas

The menu here is full of tapas, pizzas, salads, calzones, and other traditional Italian eats. More than a dozen varieties of pizza with red or white sauce dominate the menu and arrive perfectly crisp from a wood-fired oven that anchors an open kitchen.

Angelo Elia Pizza Bar Tapas

This restaurant in a former home is cozy and warm, and you can’t go wrong with pretty much any order. Expect richness and decadence from menu items including veal bone marrow served with pane casareccio, homemade bucatini with wild boar ragout or carbonara.

Annie’s Pizza & Subs

Finding good pizza outside of New York is a tall order — particular in South Florida, where many picky former Northeasterners make their home. But Annie’s Pizza and Subs in Margate makes the cut. Their pies have all the necessary ingredients: copious quantities of cheese, plenty of grease, just the right amount of sauce. They […]

Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza

Anthony’s has the best pizza this side of Italy – the blackened, bubbly crust is so authentic, you can taste ancient culinary history in it. That’s thanks to a coal-fired brick oven that not only cooks outstanding pies topped with everything from cauliflower and arugula salad to breaded eggplant but also roasts chicken wings, beef […]

Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza

We’d argue that Anthony’s has the best pizza this side of Italy – the blackened, bubbly crust is so authentic, you can taste ancient culinary history in it. That’s thanks to a coal-fired brick oven that not only cooks outstanding pies topped with everything from broccoli rabe and arugula salad to breaded eggplant but also […]

At’s-A-Pizza

This tiny but busy Las Olas eatery offers multiple options: Pastas, salads, sandwiches, desserts. But we love their pies. A bonus: your celiac friends can eat here, too, as At’s-A-Pizza provides a tasty and remarkably chewy alternative to wheat crusts — a rice flour crust. For the same price as a gluten-based pie, the wheat-averse […]

Capone’s Flicker Lite Pizza and Raw Bar

This funky hole-in-the-wall on the Intracoastal Waterway plays second fiddle to its funkier next door neighbor, world-famous hamburger joint Le Tub. Flicker Lite survives on an old neon sign, word-of-mouth, an emphasis on sports, and proximity to its famous friend. Flicker Lite’s ATM has saved many Le Tub newbies from washing dishes since it’s cash-only […]

Esposito’s Pizza Restaurant

Proprietor Lynne Esposito, a veteran pizzeria owner from Long Island, bakes a “diet pizza,” at this Davie spot, which is made with low-fat cheeses and a whole-wheat crust (for the natural-foods sticklers among us). Of course, purists can feast on regular ol’ New York-style pizza, not to mention calzones and other Italian entrées. They just […]

Giorgio’s Brick Oven Pizza

There’s a world of difference between dull, ordinary table bread and the ethereal bodies of wheat born from Giorgio’s time-tested brick oven. Hold it up to your nose and you’ll immediately sense the difference: there’s the sweet, heady fragrance of fresh dough, a yeasty pungency that puts the swirl of great food memories in motion. […]

Giovanni’s Coal Fire Pizza

Giovanni’s cooks its pies in one of three coal ovens, taking rounds of dough to extreme temperatures and submitting them to the kind of heat that persuades crusts to form delicious blackened air bubbles and to develop strips of charring on the bottom. A large pie will run you $13.95; toppings cost $1.95 each, and […]

Gran Forno Pronto

Down the street from the lauded Gran Forno bakery resides its sit-down sibling, Gran Forno Pronto, an old-fashioned-looking Italian shop with wainscoted walls, black-and-white-tiled floors, and a cast of characters. Tourists and locals drink espresso and Menabrea on a sprawling patio dotted with umbrellas. A busy, graceful pizzaiolo mans a brick oven. A handful of […]

Humpy’s Pizza & Panini

Finally, a pizza parlor for the Wilton crowd! Humpy’s, like many other Wilton establishments, makes use of double-entendres to draw in the punters but keeps them there with a casual, “our-place” feel and solid pizzas and paninis cooked to order. Their dough is crisp, fresh, and wheaty and crunches nicely when folded or eaten in […]

Jacaranda Italian Family Restaurant & Pizzeria

A perfect resting spot post-Broward Mall excursion, this comfy Italian eatery serves pizza by the pie or by the slice. A virtual garden of veggies comes on the Pizza Primavera while a Pizza Fantasia comes stuffed with sausage, pepperoni, broccoli, garlic and olive oil, mozzarella cheese and fresh herbs. When pies won’t suffice, choose from […]

Johnny’s New York Pizza

Sometimes you just need a piece of pizza. Not a deep-dish Sicilian or something coal-fired with broccoli rabe. Just a good, old-fashioned, thin-crust, New York-style slice. In such times of need, there’s Johnny’s, where $2.65 gets you a plain wedge of heaven and 50 cents more sweetens the deal with toppings like salami, pineapple, jalapeños, […]
