We came here after seeing tons of great reviews from content creators and wanted to see if the hype was real--and it definitely delivered. The restaurant was very busy when we arrived, with all tables full, but the hostess (who was also serving) was organized and let us know the wait would be about 30 minutes and took our names. Once seated, we immediately understood the appeal. The space is small with a cozy, New York-style layout, and the music adds to the vibe without being too loud--perfect for enjoying your meal and a perfect date night. We started with the garlic knots since they were out of the tomato Sicilian. The knots were soft and flavorful, topped with Parmigiano Reggiano, parsley, and a hint of lemon, and served with a light sauce that paired really well. For pizza, we went with two of their most popular options: the Rossa and the Pepperoni Piccante. The Rossa features a garlicky tomato base, breadcrumbs, stracciatella, pecorino romano, basil, and a drizzle of olive oil. The crust was perfectly crisp yet light, and despite having more sauce than cheese, it never felt heavy just really well balanced and delicious. The Pepperoni Piccante had a nice kick, especially from the pepperoncini peppers, we had it on the side, but still kept great flavor without being overpowering. Both pizzas were excellent and are ones we'd absolutely order again. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was great, and overall it was a really enjoyable experience. Bonus tip they have old school hip hop, soft tones on Thursdays. Prices range from $24-$27 per pie, but it's definitely worth it. We didn't get to try the gelato this time, but it looked amazing and is at the top of our list for next visit. read more

I wish I could write about the viral pizza we wanted to try, or the anchovy pizza that caught my eye on the menu, or the Florida grass-fed meatball appetizer, or even the Caesar salad...all the menu items that motivated us to drive 30 minutes from Coral Gables to North Miami Beach on a Sunday night for a comforting Italian dinner. But, I can't... SORRY. That's what the server said to us when we were turned away at 8:45pm this Sunday night. According to their website, business hours are until 10:30pm on Sundays. This as I watched someone walk out the front door with two bags of take-out. The small restaurant is full, I get it. Can we place an order to-go? "Sorry, come back tomorrow." Lol. We came hungry and hopeful and you turned us away, so we probably won't be back tomorrow. Or ever. Sorry for the bad review! read more

Ok I know a lot of people are knocking this place because of the lack to attention to detail for customer service and long wait lines. The lines are not the fault of the owners, they have a small location with very high demand, the early bird gets the worm. And the customer service is something that will be improved upon over time, they are family owned and have just entered into the realm of hospitality. If you guys are able to find and ounce of patience with the long wait and are able to come to this spot early I promise you will enjoy your time. The food is outstanding and I was lucky enough to try their pizza and amazing garlic bread knots before they became extremely hyped so I was able to meet the owner and his wife. They are very nice people and deserve the support of our community. They put out a great product and would love to see them thrive for years to come. Congrats on everything. I will be returning soon for those amazing garlic knots and the jersey pie! read more

Opened in 2025 and Portnoy named it the best pizza in Miami. We walked right in at 4:30PM when they opened. The pie was outstanding and easily comparable to NYC pizza. The pepperoni piccante was VERY spicy. I also ordered the Limonada Rosada sour ale from Tripping Animals Brewing which was so good I took 2 cans to go lol. It's a walk in only spot that's already popular with lines forming as we left. Amazing pizza. read more

This place is a great as everyone says it is. Well tried the meatball pizza. Next time I'd like to try the pepperoni. The char on the pizza is so perfect. Like you actually enjoy the flavor of the char and it's not burnt. Every bite is crispy. We also added stracciatella to our pie. Absolute must. One pie is enough to share between two people for sure. We also ordered the cookie. The cookies alright I prefer a different style but to each their own you might love it. Seating is very intimate. Service is great. We lucked out and were able to walk right in and get seated no wait. So try and plan your visit in the summer while everyone's away and the snowbirds have left lol read more

Delivery. First bite was ridiculous. Perfect meld of salt-sauce-cheese-and crust. Very consistent. Added sausage and it was plentiful but not saturated. Sausage by itself was tasty. But the cheese is salty and the crust is crunchy. Sausage was well embedded so it didn't fall off. Very well made pie. My only nit(s) I wanted a tiny (and really just a splash) more sauce and bit more sweet in sauce but those were not enough to detract from the rest. Really a top ten contender. read more

Hands down, Sicilian pepperoni margarita phenomenal the Service was great. The environment was very romantic as well.

This was my second time coming to Mark's Artisanal Pizza. I first came when they opened, and then again this past weekend, happy to say the pizza is just as good as the first time. The quality is consistent and the flavors are spot on. Their tomato sauce is unlike any I've had before, especially the one that comes with their garlic knots (don't skip those!). My sister ordered the mushroom pizza, not something I would usually go for, but she loved it. I tried the Rossa pizza, did half Rossa/half spicy pepperoni, and next time I'll probably just go full spicy pepperoni. The Rossa wasn't cheesy enough for me, though it seemed to be the most talked-about pie in line, so I had to try it. The ambiance is cute and cozy. The only area I see them struggling with a bit is service and wait times. But honestly, if you come knowing it's a popular local pizza spot, just expect to wait, kind of like Katana's. It's part of the experience. They'll figure out logistics with time, just growing pains. Bottom line: I'd absolutely recommend Marc's. Do yourself a favor and if you're lucky enough to snag a cookie before they sell out, pair it with the pistacho ice cream. Delicious. read more

It's all about the sauce when it comes to any Italian dish for me. So I was very pleased when this hole-in-the-wall pizzeria had some of the heartiest, balanced and flavorful homemade marinara sauce and beef/pork meatballs I've had in Miami! The Margherita pizza would have been delicious, but the oregano was way too much and it over powered all of the other flavors of the pizza. The crust was perfectly thin and crunchy, and the sauce, cheese and basil all smelled delish, but again oregano was intense. Service was good. Seating is limited. Takeout suggested unless you get lucky like we did to get one of the tables. read more

Nyet slov..no words regarding me and Italian food. I'll just put extra reps tomorrow. I heard about this new Italian spot opening in North Beach, and took a lazy Saturday to go check it out. That particular lazy Saturday, I started off with the "Tomato Sicilian". Essentially bruschetta, the secret to the wonderful taste is the cool strachiatella lathering a lightly toasted bread. For the aforementioned gym reasons, I was going to avoid dessert. But the mango gelato I enjoyed was literally life or death as I previously enjoyed their spicy pepperoni pizza (large enough with leftovers). They offer it both clásico round or rectangular. I stuck to tradition and enjoyed a couple of slices with loads of pepperoni & pepperoncini. Calabrian Chili brought the heat and Florida honey balanced with sweet. The vibe was casual neighborhood restaurant, with friendly but laid back service. No dress code, I was in shorts and a polo. It's also walking distance of Normandy circle so i got to catch some of the live music and artisanry. read more

We arrived right as they opened so it was easy to get a table for two. My family member had a mobility scooter but the place is extremely tiny so she had to leave it outside. There are limited options but everything is fresh and delicious! Would definitely recommend giving it a try if you like a good pizza! There were a lot of people ordering for takeout which seems to be easier and faster than waiting for a table since it gets booked quickly. read more

Amazing pizza, it's my type! Thin crispy under crust and thin rim crust. Crispy but not burned! The NJ traditional is my favorite, 2nd pepperoni! Place is tiny, table space tiny too! Not a place to stay long and talk. You have to put your entire order in at one time so they can serve you and get the next party in. No waiting area either no reservations either. Great beer selection too. Get ready to eat and go. It's good if you are craving delicious pizza but not a place for a a gathering or special event. read more

Yesterday we stopped by Marc's for dinner. This was our first time here. What a pleasant surprise it turned out to be. Although it is a small restaurant, it was very cozy and pleasant with enough space between everyone. There are about 11-12 comfortable tables. The guests were all in a good mood and even with the loud talking, you could hear your own party perfectly well. It is casual dress there. We were greeted warmly when we arrived and there was only a short 15 minute wait. Our server was Ana, who was friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about their menu. She made sure we had water at the table at all times by bringing an ice cold water bottle to be kept on our table. It was a hot day in Miami Beach so that was appreciated by us. We ordered the Artichoke & Stracciatella, which was confit artichoke roasted with breadcrumbs, served over local stracciatella, which is made from creamy mozzarella. It was warm and delicious! We also had the very best Garlic Knots that I have ever tasted to go with their homemade Meatballs dish. There are 4 meatballs that can be split with your partner. Excellent!! After that, came our main dish, the Mushroom pizza, which was made with Porcini cream, caramelized onions, garlic, whole milk mozzarella, local ricotta, Cremini mushrooms, shallots, and parsley. To die for! It was so good. We were already so full from the appetizers that we were only able to eat one slice each and take the rest home for tomorrow. The choc chip cookies were not the best. An amazing and wonderful meal. I see why this restaurant is so popular with long lines to get in. Their food and service is spot on! We will be returning soon. Parking can be found on the street. No pets. I don't think it would be comfortable for a wheelchair because of the size of the restaurant but there is outside seating in front of the restaurant that would work. Marc's Pizza is a great addition to the Normandy neighborhood! read more

AMAZING delicious pizza! Loved everything we tried and we tried list of it. The only thing I could've done without was the artichoke appetizer. It was just ok. Garlic knots were best I've ever had. BUT be prepared to wait. We went on a Saturday. Arrived at 4:15 before they opened and there was a line outside. We ended waiting in our car for an hour and a half until it was finally our turn. Was it worth it? Yes sure.... Will I do it again? Nope. It's a cute spot. Place wasn't big so our party of 8 was split up otherwise I fear we may have waited longer than we already had. read more

The hype is real and so is the Pizza m. Really happy we waited and the pizza was amazing.. the meatballs were fire too!!

Saw this place and walked in out of curiosity. It's a small little pizzeria. Aesthetically the place looks real cute and inviting. Unfortunately, when we were there, the AC was broken. They had a fan cooling the dining area. Downside, it was pointing at the tables so it ended up cooling the food... We were quickly handed menus and our order was taken. Quick breakdown of the food: Meatballs : (1 order brings 4 meatballs) Really yummy and very well seasoned. The tomato sauce is really good. Parma pizza: Average pizza. Honestly not worth the price. At $26 it felt like an average cheese pizza with prosciutto and basil tossed on it. The menu described Fior di Latte on the pizza?? Well it was not on ours. The pizza crust was flavorless and dry, almost overcooked? We got traditional. Lemon Sorbet: Delicious and very cleansing to the palate. It was a refreshing way to end the dinner. Service seemed very disorganized. We didn't get water on our table until our pizza arrived. Doesn't seem like the staff is very familiar with the menu or comfortable with customers. Half the time it felt like they were looking at us from the back but wouldn't approach the table. There's potential here, but the pizza falls short. read more

We wanted to try this pizza place really bad , specially because is trending now and it's on our neighborhood, we order 2 pizzas, meatballs , garlic bread and artichoke hearts. My favorite was the garlic bread , it was delish , the rest was good not what I was expecting but ok, service was wonderful by Kevin. Ambience ok too...unfortunately the place was really hot , I don't think the A/C was working properly...thankfully they seated us right next to a fan. read more

Hmm. Too much tomato paste in the sauce. Even for the New Jersey pizza style they claim, more cheese is needed for the scant amount used to balance out the aggressive tomato profile. Their pizza is not for me. Glad they have found their fans. Different slices for different folk. read more

Lots of hype, but once everything settles, you wonder if they'll really last in Miami. The air conditioning was out, and even with a huge portable unit running, it was uncomfortably warm. Normally there are long lines since they only make a limited number of pizzas daily, but on a rainy Thursday there was no wait. I went with the Margherita, since that's the truest test of an artisanal pizzeria. Here it was just... average. Sauce didn't pop, cheese was fine, dough was ordinary. Nothing memorable. The Caesar salad looked fresh but was drowned in dressing and lackluster cheese. It felt heavy-handed and missed the mark. Overall: not bad, but not great. A place with buzz, but the food and experience don't really live up to it. read more

Ok so usually I be dropping the reviews with a lot of swag, but I'm at the beach right now writing this and it's too hot so I'm kinda lazy. Le'me start with what I didn't like to get it out the way: we started with some house white wine, honestly if I was them I would switch to something a little better.... The only other drink we had was coca cola, I like that all their sodas are like from the authentic glass, and not the can or plastic , however I like my sodas cold, and it was a little lacking in the temperature I didn't have any appetizers but the ceaser salad looked pretty good , and the other things they offered seemed nice , we'll try them next time. On to the pizza; we shared 2 diff types, the mushroom one w the carmelized onions... and the one that had sausage and peppers. My sugar daddy loved the mushroom and I liked it... we both thought the sausage one was good , not spectacular... BUT , the dough and crust were super on point, and the crispiness , thinness and the no flop was excellent I wanna go back and keep it more traditional next time (1st time we adventured)... next time I go ima do the jersey cheese and the pepperoni, gonna keep it classic ( maybe we'll upgrade to 5 stars after that) , my friends that tried those said its up there with the best of them. The pistachio gelato was also pretty amazing, the tiramisu was a little off on flavor but still good. Toddles read more

Personally I thought this was was great. While we did have to get there before they opened to wait in line and then go to a nearby happy hour to wait for our table I was very happy with the mushroom pizza. I hope the place is able to keep its customer base despite all the hype and then annoyance it's got from its customers for not being able to keep up. They are small family owned, have patience the craziness will die down eventually and people can enjoy it like normal. I'd also recommend going during non typically busy hours read more

I arrived hangry on a Saturday night for my second attempt at getting a pizza from Marc's Artisanal Pizzeria. The last time they ran out before i could be seated as they are walk-in only. Most people come and out there name on the list and stay in the area returning when called. This time after waiting an hour i was prepared to be disappointed or underwhelmed. After about an hour and fifteen minutes i was already mentally be prepared for the food to not be worth the wait. Boy was i wrong! I stared with the tomato Sicilian and Marc's meatballs. I instantly transported to old New York and felt like i was seated across from my consigliere saying fughetttaboutit . An Immediate explosion of flavors is the best way to describe. The perfect under crust on the Sicilian. It's solid but sufficiently soft and flakey. Followed that up with a glass of red wine (not their strong suit) and a Sicilian Margherita pizza with olives and mushrooms as well as a standard pepperoni piccante. My only regret was not getting the pepperoni as a Sicilian because there really isn't any beating that pizza. And it was just as good as leftovers the next day. Strongly recommend this place for vibes and food. Just get there early. read more

I finally got to try out the place tonight, that is in my neighborhood of Normandy. Love that more places are opening up around the northern part of Miami beach. It's quite small in the inside and has a cute ambiance. There were about 6-8 tables and then two tables on the outside. We came in a Thursday and was surprise we got a table. It helped that we were there at 5:30. It was full already inside. The staff was friendly and attentive. We had a lemonade rosado to drink. It was like a beer but taste like a spritzer. Pretty good to accompany the pizzas. For starters we had the delicious Marc's meatballs. The meatballs were seasoned well and the marinara sauce was really good, you can tell it was homemade. Next was artichoke and stracciatella. Wow this was unique and so good! The artichoke was roasted and served on top of the stracciatella. For our pizza we ordered the Margherita and pepperoni piccante. The Margherita was simply with good flavors. You could taste a hint of oregano and the crust was thin and crispy on the edges, just the way I like my pizza. The pepperoni piccante was spicy, salty, and sweet. A perfect combination. Both were delicious but my favorite was the Margherita. The pizzas are a good portion enough to serve 2-3 people. Prepare to take leftovers. Nothing like a good pizza for breakfast. read more

Great food, service and family owners. Get here early and expect a little wait as quality food takes time to make!

Marc's Pizzeria in North Beach is the real deal, lives up to the hype, and is worth the wait process to get a table. We shared the pepperoni pizza and meatballs, and both were excellent. The pizza had a perfect bite throughout the entire slice, not just in the crust, with just the right amount of heat. The meatballs were flavorful and tender. The vibe inside was casual but stylish, and prices were very fair for Miami Beach. Highly recommend for a chill and tasty night out. read more

Pizza was average and service was not great. The wife and I heard this pizza place could give Lucali a run for their money so we drove from the Grove all the way to Marc's to see what the hype was all about. The Food Meatballs - very good Sausage and Peppers pizza (round) - looked good, tasted average / not great. The flavors of the peppers just didn't go with how they make their sauce and cheese. Margherita pizza (round) - the most average margherita pizza you'll find. I usually order the Margherita pizza at artisanal style places because it is the most pure representation of the essence of what the chef intended. There's no additional toppings to change the main flavor of the pizza. In this case it was just...average. Red sauce didn't really hit. Cheese was ok. Dough was normal. It was just extremely average. The Service I'll give them some grace due to being newly opened but even basic stuff was not good. Asked for a difference of their 3 plain style pizza offerings, the server didn't know. Asked for a refresh of plates, never came. Asked for red pepper, server forgot. And, to top it off, after waiting 45 mins for pizza 1 to arrive the second one came 15 mins later. Server was extremely nice just forgetful. read more

We were planning on trying this place for months and finally decided to go as we were craving Italian food. The place is cute with nice decor and the menu looks promising. The hostess was nice and immediately sat us down. We ordered a glass of wine and the meatballs for appetizer. As soon as we received our glasses I can tell immediately the color was off. As soon as we tried it, we can taste it was acidic. Usually that happens when wine starts to go bad or has been opened for a few days. We took it back and the girls said it was recently opened bottle. It happens. But what I didn't like was the fact she kept talking about it between themselves in front of us like if we were wrong. They gave us another sample from another bottle but it was already opened too. We immediately decided to get a difference wine but got a bottle instead was ended up being good. The meatballs were delicious tho. Full of flavor. For the main course we ordered the Parma pizza which sounded good in the menu. When we got it, the pizza was overcooked. Felt like I was eating flatbread and fully crispy like a cracker. In a pizza. Once mozzarella turn brown, that means it's burnt. Needless to say we ate it as we didn't want to be those people that return wine and then pizza. But the table next to us got the same pizza and you immediately see the difference. Their pizza was better. Slices bend when they picked it up. Ours were like toast. For almost 30 dollars there's no excuse. Which leads me to believe there's no quality control. In the end the saving grace was their lemon sorbet. That was delicious and creamy. For sure we won't be coming back. And not because of the wine or pizza. Also the service. The girls are super inexperienced and just the fact they were talking about us like if we weren't next to them listening was rude and didn't give us water until after the meatballs. We had to pour our own water too. Again... not a huge problem but these are the little things that can change your experience. But we made the effort to try this place than going to our favorite Italian place a couple of blocks away. For sure we won't be coming back. If they can improve their service and quality, then it can easily be a 5 star. It's a cute location. It'll be a shame. But it's decent and cute. This was our experience but doesn't mean you won't have a great one. Try their meatballs for sure. read more

Look, I get it -- Marc's is hot right now. Great food, cool vibe, well-deserved praise. But let's talk about the table management, because it's a real bottleneck. I was there at 5 p.m. on a Sunday. Five tables were visibly open, but the guy at the door kept waiting to seat people -- sometimes 10 minutes between parties -- even when tables were clearly ready. It's like the system waits for a table to be fully cleared and vacuumed before even acknowledging someone's next in line. In a place this small, that kind of delay adds up fast. This isn't a complaint about the food -- it's solid. But if you're running a high-demand spot, efficiency matters. You're losing turnover and momentum with the current flow. Friendly advice: fix the front-of-house strategy and you'll go from good to great. Still rooting for you. But someone had to say it. Marc's might have buzz, but the experience? Brutal. It felt like a system designed to fail -- waiting 10 minutes between seating parties, even when tables were clearly ready. No urgency, no flow. And the service? Clueless. No updates, no sense of timing, no coordination. Everyone's friendly, but it's like no one knows what's happening. The pizza? Good. But no food is worth a 3.5-hour wait paired with chaos. You've got a great product and growing reputation -- now match that with a front-of-house system and staff that can handle the demand. Hope you get it together soon. read more

It's good, but definitely not great. The pizza is probably in the top 10 for Miami, but wouldn't even be noticed in the northeast. Honestly, it reminds me of restaurant pizzas that you might get as a shared appetizer in upstate NY or somewhere in New Hampshire. It's fine but forgettable. No one in NY, Jersey, MA would go out of their way to eat this...unless they were in Miami and follow Dave Portnoy on instagram. The Caesar salad was fresh, but bizarrely overdressed. Basically Caesar dressing and cheese (not particularly great cheese) ladled over romaine like someone was angry at the lettuce. I'm guessing whoever did it had never had a great Caesar salad. The meatballs were clearly an afterthought when they created the menu, and I almost sent them back...but they were "fine" and the poor staff was too nice for that. Given how overwhelmed they all seemed (and I honestly don't know how/why), I ate two and called it my own mistake. To be fair, Marc's is not claiming to be anything special, so I'd say it's "as advertised." But this little pizza place needs to get their act together on the line/seating situation (complete sh*tshow at 5pm), and they won't be able to do that if the people who own it are both in the kitchen. Find someone else to work the ovens (they apparently can't figure out how to keep up with the dozen or so orders they get from the customers in the actual restaurant, let alone do takeout) and focus on that first two hours in the tiny dining room. read more
