Here at DiningOut Miami, we love our food holidays. And when those holidays revolve around everyone’s favorite comfort food, pizza, we just can’t help but celebrate.
This September 5th, give National Cheese Pizza Day the respect it deserves by heading to our favorite South Florida pizza joints, listed below. Buon Appetito!
Ironside Pizza
Located in Miami Ironside, Ironside Pizza {7580 NE 4th Court, Miami; 305.531.5055} is the pizza joint everyone in Miami is talking about. With its menu of genuinely authentic Italian cuisine, pizza here is Neapolitan, baked in a wood-fire oven, and made with only fresh, organic ingredients. Staying true to this promise, at Ironside Pizza, you’ll only find pizzas with mozzarella fiordilatte, a southern Italian cheese made from Italian buffalo milk. On National Cheese Pizza Day, pair your $12 Margherita pizza – basil, tomato and mozzarella fiordilatte – with your favorite bottle of “vino.” In addition to being delicious, Ironside Pizza is a BYOB spot, and it doesn’t charge a corkage fee when you bring your own.
