Experience Through Their Eyes

My wife and I were visiting from NY and we realized this place was half a mile from where we were staying so we decided to try it. I'd have to say I was pleasantly surprised. As far as new haven style pizza goes this is the best I've had outside CT for sure. We went with half cheese half meatball. The sauce was very flavorful and it had that nice charred (not burnt) undercarriage. The garlic bread was also delicious! I also loved the walk up window/outdoor dining setup. I highly recommend giving this place a try!

Omg where do I start. This place was absolutely amazing, a couple guys and I went on a dudes trip for a week. The pizza spot was just a few streets over. We got a pizza every single morning because of how amazing it was! The service was so awesome and they always left us with a huge smile! If you are in Lauderdale and want the best piece of pie for the most affordable price, head right to THE PIZZA SPOT. Don't think twice!!

Lived in New Haven for years. New Haven style and easily the best pie I have eaten in south florida. Really delicious. Thin, tasty, Great ingredients. Also very reasonably priced. A gem in Fort Lauderdale. Will be returning regularly. People complaining about the char need to understand that the charred crust is part of New Haven style.

One of the best pizzas I have had. Perfect ratio of sauce and crust and cheese. The red cherry peppers was a hit as well as the mushroom one! Classic cheese is the best. I visit this place everytime I can when visiting Miami.

Easy ordering system. Cute bar across the street while you wait for your pie. Crust is perfectly charred and crispy. Sauce is hearty with a touch of some spice. Meatballs are unreal. This is a hidden neighborhood gem.
