    Cheesesteak with cooper and whiz
    Jarod J.

    What an awesome spot hidden in Miami. They really did an amazing job of carving out a little piece of Miami and making it their own. A super cozy restaurant with very kind people. Not to mention the food.. best cheesesteak I have had in FL.. the bread really blew me away. I would come back for this cheesesteak 10/10 times and never get tired of it. Can't wait to eat it again. Thanks!

    I was so excited to try the cheesesteak here and was beyond disappointed. Only two cheese options, neither of which are good cheese. The waitress took forever to come over and it wasn't even busy. The bread was untoasted and stale. The meat and onions were good, but I was totally let down. Tiny hole in the wall, cute bathroom. Can't say I'll be back.

    This may be the best pizza spot in fl. I'm convinced it is. This is a must try location. Cheesesteak is also out of this world. I thought cooper sharp was better than the whiz. They have two locations one inside Miami Brightline that only does cheesteaks and it's also very good

    This place definitely lived up to they hype! A cheesesteak is one of my guilty pleasures. I haven't had a good one in Miami. I heard the owner is from Philly, so i knew i had to try this place. I heard the wait was long so i had my sub delivered, and it came promptly and tasted so good. Adding the cooper sharp cheese is the move! I got it classic how it came, with the onions, cheese and the delicious meat and fresh bread. It was heaven. I added some ketchup on top. The melted cheese was unbelievable. The next time i go i want to try it with the cheese wiz, and maybe add some banana peppers.

    I came back after my first visit when DAVID P came and made the place crowded for a few days right after and the experience was totally different. The food was amazing and so was the service. The girl who was our waitress, which, by the way she was the only one and I think you should get two of them because it is very crowded although it's small place , I was watching her kind of go crazy with so many people demanding so many things I will definitely be coming back

    Yes, there's a lot of hype about the cheesesteak here, but the sandwich lived up to the hype! The restaurant is small so there could definitely be a wait so come open minded or open to takeout cause that's an option too. It has a retro diner vibe which is so cute. And the bathrooms have a disco ball which was a nice touch. There's 2 options of cheese, so you can get cooper sharp or cheese whiz. So naturally, the hubs and I got both options so we can compare. And both options are amazing. I will say I think the cheese whiz is slightly saltier than the cooper sharp, and I also found the cooper sharp to be creamier. I did get the hot peppers on the side which were delish. (they are an additional cost). We also got a side of the Old Bay fries and they were sooo good!! The food was a little slow to come out, but everything is made to order and the restaurant was fully packed so that's understandable. You can't rush goodness. Highly recommend for cheesesteaks in Miami!

    Best cheesesteak I've eaten in Florida. The closest you'll ever have from NY and Philly. We ordered 2 cheesesteaks. One with cooper sharp cheese and the other with cheese wiz. Honestly I can't tell you which one is better. They are both unique and amazing. That's why we got both. We also tried their Old Bay fries which is seasoned with some crab seasoning and they are delicious. Also includes a side of cooper sharp cheese dip. Service was fast and the ambience is pretty chill. For a moment there I forgot we were in Florida. We couldn't try the pizzas nor salads but we are coming back for that. The food today was five stars but we gave it 4 starts just because the parking was alittle difficult and sometime you have to wait as the location is small. But for now it's 5 stars in regard to the food and service. A must if you're in a the area near the design district.

    Service was attentive and great. Ordered the mussels, got the meatballs but honestly was very very happy with that. They were filling the polenta was creamy but I don't have room for a sandwich like planned. I was a tad bummed that the menu online does not match actual menu. But no big deal. It was a great stop after a long day, and I might be back for the cutlet sandwich

    After hearing all the hype about Peppi's being home to the best cheesesteak you'll ever have, I had to find out for myself. When I arrived, there was already a pretty long line out front, but it seemed to be moving, so I decided to wait it out. It ended up being about 45 minutes before I made it to the front. The cheesesteak was good, no doubt about it. But was it worth a 45-minute wait? Honestly... I'm not so sure. I was expecting something a little more over the top, especially given all the videos and buzz. For me, the biggest letdown was the lack of cheese, i say it needed more cheese wiz. That ooey gooey cheesiness I saw online just wasn't quite there on my sandwich. Horever I was pleasantly surprised by their pizza. It was actually excellent, and in my opinion, even better than the cheesesteak. Crisp crust, great flavor, and served hot and fresh. Definitely underrated compared to all the cheesesteak talk. I'd for sure come back again, but next time I'll try to avoid the weekend rush. Maybe hit it up on a weekday when the line isn't so intense. Overall, a solid spot, but maybe a little overhyped if you're only going for the cheesesteak

    This spot has been on our list for a while and we finally got the chance to try it. We had a little bit of a wait outside in a short line. Such a cute atmosphere inside, very welcoming and friendly staff as well. We tried the Philly cheesesteak with the cooper sharp cheese and onions. The bread had a nice crunch and the meat and cheese were tasty. My boys loved the drunken chicken sandwich. My son actually said he liked it more than the Philly. Our waitress was so sweet. Oh the music - awesome old school 80's music. I couldn't stop dancing in my seat. I decided to make a quick stop in the bathroom ... the coolest bathroom I've ever been in . Just topped off my amazing experience. Who ever designed that room .. bravo!! We definitely want to go back to try the pizza and other items on their menu. Thanks for a delicious and fun lunch.

    Every time I come here somehow there's always been an issue because of all the publicity I assume. On this occasion we managed to get the last pizza available and shared a pasta. I think the pasta was the best part! It was a good portion for two people and still have leftovers. Our server was super nice and attentive because she felt bad they sold out. It's a small place with a bar.

    Based on food alone, this places gets a great review. Service was also pretty great. The main star and what everyone comes for is the Philly - and it was pretty great. My personal preference is not a toasted bread - but still the sandwich over all, meat and cheese was pretty great. The pizza was also very solid The only issue I have is that the wait and the potential to not even get food if you come too late. But I get it, this is a small joint and not a chain. Overall, despite the wait and the potential overall to the waiting system, I would definitely check and make it a visit if you are in the area.

    Sergio F & Italian food...goes without saying!…read more I came by with a group of friends Saturday night for sustenance after weekend activities in downtown and the beach. La Leggenda had been in my to try list, and finally had a chance to do so this weekend. We liked the fact that our waiter regularly checked on us, even resolving an issue with one of the glasses as soon as we pointed it out. Oh and having a corner table by the window to enjoy the Española Way street scene to perfection! The three of us decided to share two pizzas: their Margherita STG and the "Regina". Both had a perfectly thin and airy crust. The fresh basil and melted mozzarella do indeed make their margherita pizza truly award winning. The Regina Pizza was topped with a nice helping of perfectly salty prosciutto as well as baby tomatoes and greens. We also asked for extra sauce and chili oil which made the pie even better! Of course, there was dessert! With its crumbly graham cracker crust, creamy ricotta cheese and pear pieces this dessert made for a sweet ending and was enough to be shared between the three of us.

The pizza has a true authentic Italian flavor with fresh, high-quality ingredients and a perfectly cooked crust. The restaurant is small, cozy, and welcoming, creating a warm atmosphere that makes you feel like you're dining in Italy. The service was friendly, and every pizza we ordered was outstanding. If you're looking for real Neapolitan pizza in Miami Beach, this is the place to go. We had a wonderful family dinner and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!

I usually avoid ordering pasta, it's just not my thing but their spicey 3 cheese fusili is killer! We love the pepperoni pie with onion. Sometimes we'll let the server pick our toppings just to experiment. Their Kale Caesar is delicious as well. Highly recommend the Mozzarella sticks. See cheese pull featured on photos. What's really neat is that this a NY based restaurant that people usually wait in line to try and get it but here on the beach we've never waiting more then 10-15min to be seated. Service overall is timed well. We never wait to be attended to and food always come out hot. Atmosphere is relaxed and not pretentious at all. Family friendly for sure and there are booths for small parties of 5-6. We love it there.

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.
