Only you see this. What you ordered, what you'd order again, the table to ask for.
The Story
Lucali is the Miami outpost of Mark Iacono's beloved Brooklyn pizzeria, brought to South Beach with the same narrow menu and cult following. It keeps the original's strict, no-frills approach.
Known for
Coal-fired pizzas and calzones, and essentially nothing else. There are no slices and no reservations.
Recognition
Michelin Bib Gourmand (2026).
Worth knowing
It is cash only with no reservations, so expect a wait. Pricing is upscale for pizza, and the limited menu is the whole point.
Deals
No deals at this venue. Know of one?
The Vibe
Stripped-down BYOB pizza perfection. The wait is brutal, the pizza is transcendent.
