    White pizza and cheese pizza

    Very good pizza! Super crunchy and thin, good ingredients; will def be back eventually! Outside seating is pretty bare

    Half Demon Pig Girl & Half San Gennaro
    Sofi D.

    I may have just found one of my favorite pizzas in the city. As someone who loves a pizza crispy, spicy, and adorned with sausage or pepperoni, Fratesi's said say less and offered precisely that at the highest quality possible. With an unassuming exterior and location, once you walk in, you discover one of Miami's most special hidden finds. With impeccable service and a simple menu, we were ready to go very quickly, ordering the special happy hour spritz, caesar tahini salad and half demon pig girl and half San Gennaro and I couldn't pick a favorite. The Tahini Salad was outstanding as well and the Spritz was surprisingly deliciousss! The pie is huge and we had so much left over that for the price I truly think it is very worth it! I also can't forget that we got the tiramisu to end the night and it was one of the best tiramisus I have had, ever. I can not wait to be back, please do yourself a favor and check it out for yourself!

    This pizza was awesome! Some of the best I've had in Miami. I miss New England pizza sooo much, so this was a great find. The crust was very thin, crispy, and held up extremely well to the toppings. Limited topping options, but very cool pies. If the review was solely about the food I would give a 4 star. We got one pizza and water, and the bill was $50. That's pretty crazy to me, but I guess that's just eating out in Miami anymore. What we didn't love was that we were told it would be over an hour for a table inside, so we agreed to an outside table because we were so excited to try this spot. The couple who walked in after us who also didn't have a reservation got sat at an inside table only 5 minutes after we got ours outside. I'm 6 months pregnant and it was extremely hot outside, so I didn't appreciate being told it would be over one hour for a table that opened up right away. They also had some very interesting music choices... they played "my d!ck" by Mickey Avalon, and was truly the wildest music I've ever heard at a restaurant. We cracked up, but there were kids inside and I would have been upset if I had my kids there and that song came on.

    I waited a long time for the opportunity to go to try this delicious pizza and it was sooo worth the wait! My party of 3 didn't have reservations but we got there early enough to snag a few seats at the bar, which was actually perfect. They had a movie showing (The Mummy) so it definitely brought the nostalgic 90s pizza spot vibes and I live for it. We started with THEE tahini Caesar salad and friends that's no ordinary salad. It is topped with crispy breadcrumbs, tossed in the perfect amount of dressing and layered with bed of freshly grated cheese that just makes you want to devour the entire thing face first, lol. To drink they offer wines, beers and non alcoholic drinks but we got a nice bottle of Prosecco to share. Now down to pies, the Carmelita is heavenly and was our top contender. You don't need to add anything, because it is truly perfectly made. We also got The Pie but added pepperoni and pork sausage. The pepperoni outshined the pork sausage, imo so next time I'll just do the pepp. Also, Vlad took care of us at the bar and gave us great recommendations! Can't wait to come back!

    Fratesi's is the perfect addition to Downtown and hits the mark on the food, service and atmosphere. The restaurant is small but feels very welcoming and has an old school pizza place vibe. All of the staff and servers were great as well. For food, we got the tahini Cesar and half demon pig girl and half San Gerrano. Both were delicious. The crust is perfectly crispy and the toppings don't overwhelm the pizza. This place lives up to the hype and I will be back! Be sure to order head or make a reservation though, it is still crowded

    We had a great time at Fratesi! A bit of an adventure to find, i suggest parking about 5 minutes away in a garage and then walking. There is a nice old school tavern restaurant as well as outdoor seating. We sat outside. The hostess and waitress were very friendly and accommodating. They let me wait at the table longer while my friends were stuck in traffic. We started off with the tahini caeser. I was a bit reluctant after reading the reviews online, but it is a MUST GET if you like caesar and tahini. The nutty notes really come through and i love the crunchy breadcrumbs atop the fresh salad. The perfect pairing to a any pizza. For pizzas we had the vodka pie and the demon pig boy. We ordered extra hot honey and drizzled it over the vodka pie it is sooo good. The pizza is thin and crispy with no flop. The sauce is properly spiced. The demon pig boy has a bit of a spicy kick. It is very tasty with the pepperoni, chili oil, and peppers. It was a bit too much for my palate, i preferred the vodka. It's nice to have a simple pie sometimes. I would definitely return for another caesar and to try the carmelita!

    So so so so so so salty, I couldn't finish my second piece of pizza. I am not sure if we didn't order right but I was trying to figure out where the salty part was coming from and I think it was the dough. We ordered the tahini Cesar salad which was very good. The service was great and everyone was extremely nice the place gave an old school pizza vibe.

    Delicious thin pizza!! Loved the vibes of the restaurant and all the old school pictures. Salad had great flavor but could have used a little more dressing. Demon pig boy was our favorite of the two pizzas we ordered. Perfect spicy level! Demon pig girl had more of a watery or wet aspect to it. Both tasty!! Will definitely be back to try a white pizza.

    Really enjoy this thinner style of pizza. Reminds me of a good new haven style pie! They prepare it thin and bake it hot so the bottom is ever so slightly charred and the results are delicious. The menu is pretty simple with a few salads and a few pizza options - and the pizzas and salads themselves are pretty simple. This works well here, they give the pizza itself an opportunity to shine. Service was good and we were seated promptly at the time of our reservation, which it's advisable to have. Cute ambiance inside is homey and reminiscent of an old school pizza parlor. A good experience!

    I feel confident saying this was the best pizza I've ever had in my life. We ordered for takeout. The order was supposed to take close to an hour, but we got the "pizza is ready" text within 30mins. My only regret is that I didn't order another pie. I can't wait to go back.

    Tahini Caesar Salad
    Michelle A.

    Fratesi's Pizza absolutely lives up to the hype. I went on a Sunday afternoon, was able to walk in without a reservation and get seated immediately at the bar, huge plus. While afternoons are easy for walk-ins, I highly recommend making a reservation if you're going for dinner after 5pm, as that's when they start taking reservations and the place really fills up. We started with the tahini Caesar salad, which was an excellent and a great way to kick things off. For pizza, we ordered a half plain pie and half pepperoni with hot honey, plus a whole pie with sausage, peppers, and onions and a bolted of white wine. Every single slice was delicious. The crust is very thin and very crispy, almost cracker-like in the best way possible. Zero flop, the slices hold up perfectly. The vibe is also a win. It feels like an old-school pizzeria / classic Italian restaurant. Can't wait to come back.

    Outstanding New Haven bar pie. Every bite is full of CRUNCH and jammed pack with flavor. There's no flop. This pizza is as stiff as a cracker, but the crust is all pizza crust. Also keep in mind that the salad dressings are homemade and well worth trying. The Caesar salad and a plain pie are my go-to items.

    Really delicious NJ style pizza - loved the vodka pizza (saucy), demon pig boy (pepperoni and Calabrian chili oil), demon pig girl (sausage and hot honey), and Carmelita (like a margherita). We started with the tahini Caesar salad and paired our meal with cokes. Great thin, crispy, tavern style pizza!

    I visited Lucali Miami in advance of a cruise and to no small degree planned my day around dining…read morehere! So my very high level of anticipation may certainly be partially to blame for my average-ish experience. I was pleasantly surprised to get a table with no wait at ~6:30 on a Wednesday evening. Staff were attentive and friendly. Prices were high, as expected, but at least the pizzas are of reasonable size. The $32 pasta portion probably could've been a bit more generous. But anyway, on to why we're all here - The Pizza: The crust had a great crunch but I felt lacked nuance beyond that, no chew and a touch on the dry side. Cheese and sauce were fine but also unremarkable. The heaps of basil provided some bright freshness that was definitely appreciated. I feel even more compelled now to try the NYC location for comparison! This wasn't a bad pizza by any stretch but not something I would ever pick over my favorite NYC standouts.

The menu has a nice variety of options, so it's easy to find something you're in the mood for whether you want something light or a more filling meal. Everything comes out quickly, but still tastes like it's made with care rather than rushed. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual, making it a perfect place to grab a quick lunch or an easy dinner without spending a lot. Overall, it's a reliable go-to when you want good food that won't break the bank.
