Wow! My son has been going here for years. I finally made it. I had a chicken francise. Amazing! Watched the chef cook it . I understand this was a very popular Italian restaurant.. but after a big divorce the chef reopened not as a restaurant but as a take out. So this is restaurant quality food at take out prices. I walked here and there was a line (on a Tuesday night) from the locals ... I'm going to be a regular and plan to work my way through the menu. Talking to the locals.. only the subs are hit or miss.. apparently the bread tastes odd But my chicken was perfect.. tender, the batter was lite and the sauce deliciously lemony read more

Everyone is so nice and the food is excellent. I've been here many times and continue to go back!

Was out trying to find the best pizza in my area. Stumbled upon Pauloluigi and got a slice of cheese. The sizing of the slice was an amazing bang for your buck. Slice came out at a perfect hot temp and the service and employees were very kind. The seating outside was very peaceful! Can't wait to come back. read more

Hands down the best independent pizza spot in Miami (they even have slices). It has an old, authentic feel, and you can tell the owners care about quality and never cut corners. Try the Margherita pizza. read more

Solid NY style pizza the slices are big. Good sauce. Not sweet ( Like Casola's) The pasta dishes are good too. Ive come repeatedly, as it's a good, solid Italian joint. read more

Take out only and the food is always amazing. The white pizza, pepperoni pizza, buffalo chicken pizza- are all awesome and always consistent! The chicken francese,chicken Marsala and chicken Alfredo are fresh and hot! The food always reheats better than the day you got it and the portions are generous. read more

Our go-to spot for pizza in Miami. Best place for good authentic pizza that's affordable, and a small local business! Staff is very friendly and will help you carry your order to your car. read more

Pauloluigi To Go - 24" Party Cheese Pizza - Italian Near Me - Miami, Florida

Best Pizza I've eaten in Miami in a long time. In fact I'll probably order it again today.

Best pizza in town, very similar to Cozzoli's! Best deal "Party size!" I've been a customer for 4 decades! read more

Still great pizza here the white pizza I have ordered time and time again. This time i decided to try something else. I got the Pauloluigi Calzone and it was fantastic! Definitely recommend. I love eggplant so I got the eggplant sandwich and it was HORRIBLE. The eggplant was flavorless all you could taste was egg. It was so thin like tissue paper with no seasoning. Worst eggplant I ever had. It also came with fries they were dry and not good. No rewards program anymore. All orders have a $1 convenience fee added. I was told this is for the cost of takeout boxes and bags. Really a 3 star rating but other items on the menu are fantastic so for that 4 stars. read more

As a NY native in Miami, I've had no luck finding any pizza spot that even slightly resembles back home. Until I found Pauloluigi! Slices are nice and big, the sauce and cheese are so yummy and the customer service was great! I am definitely coming back and already sent this spot to some friends and family. read more

Pauloluigi To Go - Cheese Pizza - Italian Near Me - Miami, Florida

Never will eat here again they have roaches crawling everywhere the cook lick his hands didnt wash them they never were gloves and The workers are very rude read more

Tiny, to-go pizza spot. There's some outside seating available as part of the very small plaza but it is not a full service sit down dining experience. Place your order and pick it up. The pizzas are huge and loaded with flavor. My favorite is the white pizza (comes as a full pie not by the slice), but for a slice you can't go wrong with anything. read more

Been coming to pauloluigi for years and it's always a go to pizza spot. They have a good amount of pizza options to choose from or you can make your own. I'd consider this more of a to go spot but there is some seating directly outside. Pricing wise I'd say it's very reasonable compared to come of the other pizza options in this part of miami. Service is pretty straightforward and when you come in someone acknowledges you and brings you your pizza quickly (I've even seen them bring pizzas to peoples cars) I've enjoyed coming here for years and will continue to come back. read more

Pauloluigi is take out only, but the food is delicious. The NY style pizza evokes the corner pizza place, but is missing all the oil . If you're not going to take it home and eat it immediately, I recommend that you order it "lite bake" - an option at the bottom of the on line pizza menu - and heat it up in the oven, preferably on a pizza stone. The pizza can be stored in the fridge for several days and frozen for weeks. The chicken parm is huge and delicious. Also recommend the meatball sub. read more

The best pizza available in Coconut Grove. Old school location and staff. Very legit.

I go to Pauloluigi's very often as it's on my way home from work. The pizza is delicious and humongous for a single slice. I've had the meatball sub, the chicken parm sub and the sausage and pepper sub, all excellent! Stella is an absolute gem! She's always friendly and always happy to please. It's only take out, but while I'm waiting for my food to eat it outside on the patio, the feeling is friendly and happy. read more

Doesn't look like much from the outside, but inside it feels "authentic pizza". Pictures of NBA players with owner, mayors, celebrities. Now, the pizza. I've tried many other places and this pizza is the best. Crispy. Crunchy. Cheese is good quality. Ordered the margarita and would order it again. 24" was $52 with tax and small tip. At first I was pissed at the price. Now after eating it. We would order it again and again. Great job pizza place. You made a good pizza. read more

Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Pauloluigi! I'm originally from the North East and grew up in Italian Pizza Shops my whole life... THIS IS THE BEST PIZZA/PASTA IN MIAMI (period). Everything is cooked to perfection and the flavors are unmatched My own Father who is a Chef said this food might be better than his.. might now that is the ultimate compliment. read more

Pauloluigi To Go - Italian Near Me - Miami, Florida

This place is small and down to earth, offering only takeout, but it's a true hidden gem. I know everyone raves about the white pizza here--and there's no doubt it's delicious--but trust me, the sauce deserves just as much attention. The tomato sauce here is some kind of delicious magic--perfectly balanced between sweet and savory, and unlike anything I've tasted at other pizza spots in Miami. The classic Margherita pizza and bruschetta are my go-to choices, and they never disappoint. Pauloluigi is one of those 'if you know, you know' spots that doesn't need the hype to be amazing! read more

Excellent, authentic NY style pizza. I also ordered a salad and a pasta dish. Big portions and reasonably priced

The lady at the register had great customer service and helped us with the menu. I order the white pizza 14 in ( good for 3 to 4 people) , caprese salad , and tiramisu for dessert. The white pizza was dellliiicciiiooouuus , with so much favor. The salad was okay ( was lacking spinach and some more greens) and had too much dressing. Now, the dessert, was the best I have ever had. Very rich and creamy! read more

This place is just FANTASTIC!!! Easily the best pizza we have had in Miami! You cannot beat the value (size, and price) for both the pizza and pasta! Service is spectacular. read more

We have wintered in the Grove for five years and we are always searching for good pizza! I'm used to New Jersey pizza which is the best pizza. We were told about Pauloluigi and we figured we would give it a try. It was surprisingly really really good. My hubby was so excited to finally find a place that has great pizza. I had the chicken pauloluigi and it was the perfect combo of good chicken and great eggplant parm! I think we could go here once a week and order a different dish everytime. With COVID rates increasing support this fabulous restaurant that offers delivery and pick up. read more

Chicken Pauloluigi is phenomenal and a must try!!! It is our "go to" dish! Customer service is friendly and efficient. They always make sure to take care of us! This is a pick-up only restaurant. Quick receiving area to help you get home to enjoy your yummy food. read more

This is my go-to for Italian take out. Always fresh and delicious. Today I had the calzone, it was really good and plenty for 2-3 people to share. I've previously ordered their pizzas, antipasto salad, garlic rolls and chicken parmigiana - all very good. read more

Drove 30 mins ! Well worth it. The owner Paul came straight from NY and has been making pizza in Miami since the eighties. Everything s fresh and made in house. The eggplant pizza was very unique and delicious. The chicken parm sub was phenomenal fresh baked homemade bread accompanied by fresh cut seasoned fries. My daughter loved her baked ziti. DO NOT LEAVE WITHOUT THE CANNOLI. (Your welcome!) everything here is made with pride. Great job! Will def be back often. read more

It took me forever to come here even though it's right around the corner from my house. First experience went well, order for pickup. The pizza is all NY style and the thin crust was cooked perfectly for my margherita pizza. So why only 3 stars? The mozzarella killed it. Although they advertised it as fresh mozzarella (and judging by old photos on yelp they used to make it that way), nobody could discernibly look at the pizza and say "that's a margherita". You can tell from my photo in comparison with the others from 4+ years ago shows the quality of ingredients has completely dropped off. Unfortunately I will not be returning as that is my go to pizza. read more

Great garlic rolls but the salad, soup & pizza was disappointing. The salad had brown lettuce & didn't taste too fresh. The soup, a Pasta Fagioli which I was very excited about, was bland & had no depth of flavor that I expected from a "homemade" soup. The pizza was mediocre at best & was not what I would consider a "Margherita", especially for $16 for a medium. Again, their garlic rolls are great & their pastas are very good so will probably stick to that in the future. read more

Pizza is and always will be my favorite food. My first pizza experience was at Cairo's in Inwood, New York in 1955. We moved to Miami in 1959, and my favorite pizza was Mama Vivi's on the 79th Street Causeway, a Mafia hangout. A lot of people thought Sonny's was the best pie in town. For me it was Vivi's. Now it's Pauloluigi - a Coconut Grove fixture, I don't do take out. So, I recommend eating it fresh from the oven at one of the few outside tables. Pictures of luminaries on the wall, patrons of Paulo's when it was a dine-in experience. Not shishi, to say the least...just the best. read more

Great pizza with an awesome crust. The meatball sub is also very good. Very friendly staff.

This place has become to go for Pizza in the Grove. I highly recommend this place! I've tried the provolone garlic rolls,The Famous White, chicken Parmigiana pizza, and the Buffalo Chicken Pizza. The Famous White and Buffalo Chicken are my go to these days. Tons of flavor and hits the spot. The provolone garlic rolls... oh my!! So good... do yourself a favor and orders these... amazing! 25 mins from phone call to pick up... quick!! read more

Stopped in for late dinner carry out. The service was great! Very friendly staff. On to the best part, the food was excellent! Ordered Stromboli and baked Ziti. Both were spot on and portions were large enough for lunch the next day. read more

The famous white pizza was good! Also really liked the baked lasagna. Meal was cooked in 10-12 minutes and they gave good service. Would come again read more

I generally don't post reviews. But this place in the heart of the Grove is such a gem, I had to post. Paul has not only been in the Grove for 35 years which says a lot about him, but he also makes everything from scratch and doesn't skimp on portion size. I'm a pizza fan and Paul's Sicilian pizza is the best I've had! Crust is crispy and flavorful. Pair it with his great Greek salad. Soooo good. His red sauce is like no other. It simmers overnight making its flavor extraordinary! Paul's New York style pizza is also fantastic. Try that one too. Eggplant parm, chicken parm and all his pastas and subs are also GRAND SLAMS!! Oh....great tiramisu and cannolis! Paul is a legend! You won't be disappointed! read more

If you are looking for the best grab and go pizza place in Miami then look no further. I am originally from Jersey so I grew up in the heart of the best pizza in the country, therefore I'm a pizza snob and I love this pizza place. When my family from Jersey comes to visit I always order from here because I know this is the only grab and go pizza place around that will live up to their standards. We order from here all the time when we have friends and family over and everyone has raves about the pizza. I have tried many different types of pizza from this place and I have yet to find one I didn't like. The Buffalo chicken pizza is my personal favorite. Whether you are a local or just a here for a few days on vacation I highly suggest giving this place a try. read more

Great pizza and huge menu. Hidden in a small strip mall. There's a couple of tables outside you can eat your meal but preferably is a take out read more

Vegan here, former vegetarian. The pizza looked so delicious but they don't offer vegan cheese and I didnt want cheese-less pizza. However, both the soups, minestrone and pasta fagioli soups are vegan. I ordered the pasta fagioli soup and it came with 2 plain rolls that were delicious. The soup was the best I've had and the rolls were a winning complement to the soup. My friends ordered a large cheese pizza with garlic rolls. The 2 pizza critics said it was the best they have had in Miami (they live there; I was visiting) and everyone loved it. read more

Could have been happier. We got there and an employee saw us in the car and courteously offered us menus. When ordering inside, they were very prompt and polite. The wait for the food (take out) was shorter than expected, about ten- twelve minutes. They came out of the joint and took the food to my car. The food was DELICIOUS! My husband said his sub was the best meatball sub he had ever eaten. The bread was fresh, the meatballs were sliced and perfect. My chicken Marsala was so yummy! Best Marsala I've had in a while. Three garlic breads come with the pasta. They were fresh and had the perfect amount of oil and garlic. We were completely content. We will definitely be going back for more. read more
