  The pizza was perfectly crispy! When you lifted a slice, it didn’t flop at all. I also loved that they offer the option to do half-and-half pizzas, which was perfect since I went with a couple of friends and we wanted to try several combinations. We ordered half Demon Big Girl and half Demon Pig Boy, plus half The Plain Pie and half The Chrissy, and the Red Top, which is a vegan option. We added pecorino and anchovies to the Red Top, and it was absolutely amazing. To start, we had the tahini caesar salad, which was also really good. I would 100% recommend this place!

  Best red top I've ever had. Great service from Vlad. Restaurant is very cute and the location is perfectly situated whether you live Downtown, Brickell, Wynwood even Midtown, this is walkable. Trust me this pizza is worth 10,000 steps.

  We ordered the Tahini Caesar salad and a pizza. The salad was AMAZING, truly outstanding, and the pizza was just as delicious. Both dishes exceeded our expectations and were even better than we anticipated. The food quality is absolutely top-tier. As for the service, it was disappointing. We asked three times for the salad to be served first, but the pizza still arrived before the salad. I even looked around at the other tables to see if service was generally delayed, which would be understandable since the restaurant is very trendy and busy, but the table next to us arrived after we did and received their entire order before we even got our salad. That was frustrating. Additionally, there is an automatic 18% gratuity added to the bill, which feels hard to justify when the service experience doesn’t match the food quality. Incredible food, but the service needs significant improvement.

  Absolutely blew my mind away! Incredible authentic pizza made with good ingredients. You can taste the sauce and cheese in every bite. I loved everything about this pizza. The chicken sausage pizza was incredible and just the perfect amount of spice. This pizza was an easy 9.5/10. What I loved most was not feeling bloated after. Having eaten pizza all over the world I can honestly say this is a top 5 worldwide pizza joint for me. I will be coming back 100% this place is a must try.

  Fratesi’s is a classic pizza spot tucked into a sketchy part of downtown Miami. Inside, it feels like an old-school diner. Checkered tablecloths, wooden chairs, nothing fancy. Just a low-key, no-frills vibe. The pizza is good. Thin, crispy, with a solid undercarriage, as Portnoy would say. There are no fancy ingredients and not many choices. You start with a basic pie and add toppings for $2–$3 each. Oddly, mushrooms aren’t available due to “too much prep work.” We ordered a half pepperoni, half anchovy pizza. It was good, but not noticeably better than other well-known pizza spots around town. Nothing that really stood out. The Caesar salad, on the other hand, was more interesting and memorable than the pizza itself. My biggest issue is the price. $33 for a pizza feels excessive. This isn’t a case where you can blame build-out costs or sky-high rent. It comes off as pure pricing greed. Especially when you compare it to La Specialita, where the pizza is cheaper and significantly better. A fully built-out spot in the Design District, with more and fresher ingredients, is charging less than a hole-in-the-wall downtown. That comparison is hard to ignore. I want this spot to succeed, they have a good product. But the pricing needs to come down to earth.
