I think Piola is a great change of pace for Brickell. It was easy to get in the few times I have gone and I regularly take advantage of there happy hour pizza specials, which can come out to as much as half off depending on the time you order. There are always a couple hotties there, so people watching is fun and cheap. They make some awesome drinks there with fresh fruit and sake, and the gnocci is to die for. Like michelle c. said, the wine selection kinda sucks. read more

Outstanding pizza, but delivery service is hit or miss. Having lived in Europe I LOVE the topping variety at this place. The fact that I can get a shrimp, olive and corn pizza (don't knock it 'til you've tried it) takes me right back to my days in Vienna. The crusts are also much lighter/thinner than most American style pizza, but not so hard/crusty as the thin-crust you order from places like Pizza Hut, which is nice. I've ordered from them several times, and sometimes they get my pizza here in 30 minutes, but other times it has taken 1.5+ hours, and I live about a 5 minute walk from the location. read more

Delicius pizza!! But the best is the location & place, it is a luxurius pizzeria from italy in Miami so I think I ve described you all the pros! the cons is not the cheapest for a middle class family. read more

this is the closest to an authentic Italian pizza you can get the wine is pricy when compared to Italian pizzeria where u can get 1/2 ltr house wine for under $10US, here u get a glass for $8... under .175 lt but I do recommend the pizza and... the panna cotta read more

Tried this spot out for the first time tonight. Couldn't be more impressed! Half off food at the bar from 7-12 (which was all absolutely delicious!), very reasonably priced drinks and great drink specials every day, and had GREAT service by Paul at the bar (he's a true gem!) Will be coming back, for sure! read more

I Just paid $22 to have a 12 inch pizza delivered that was supposed to be a thin crust 2 topping pizza that was cold, barely had any toppings on it and was missing my side ranch dressing which i requested twice... never again... very disappointing. read more

Best Pizza in the neighborhood! Our server Ali was very attentive and provided us with 5 star service. We enjoy the pepperoni pizza and the lasagna and everything was great. The kids enjoyed the chalk board while the food arrived. Can't wait to come back and visit Ali and the rest of there team. read more

This place is great. One of the best chicken parmigiana's ive ever had. Great service, great atmosphere and a great staff. If they had a full bar or better beer selection i would give them 5 stars. read more

Piola has great service and very accommodating for large groups! And has a great mimosa bar!

Hungry late afternoon we walked past this great place. Had a fabulous pizza and chopped salad. Perfect!

This place is amazing!!! I would give it 100 stars if possible. Live music on wed and sunday by Gu. Best musician ever!!! Service is amazing. Food is off the chain... management brought water to my dog... 100 stars all the way no BS... I will be here ever wed/ sunday. read more

I love their food! They have amazing pizzas and pastas. Everytime we come here we have an amazing time. I love their Rio de Janeiro pizza! The service is always amazing! Would recommend to larger groups as well. I wish they had more locations :) read more

Sat outside and watched the Super Bowl. Leo was our waiter. He's helpful and has a great smile. Prosciutto appetizer (get it), pizza with a wonderful crust (get it), wine, and dessert. I would have liked something cakey, but we suffered with the ice cream and chocolate sauce. Poor us. We'll return. read more

If I could give this restaurant 15 stars I would. The service was spectacular, the food was incredible and the timeliness of our meals was spot on! The only thing I would change would be the hostess and find one that has a personality & at least smiles at the patrons instead of looking angry. Great job... I would definitely come back. read more

We've been going to Piola forever... originally at Lincoln Road for a pre-going out dinner and now as a spot for great pizza in our neighborhood (Brickell). Their pizza has always made the bad service worth it. But not this time. We went for dinner with another couple and our 3 year old (well behaved) kids. The first thing we were warned about by our waiter was that they did not have have plastic cups or lids for the kids (not "I'm sorry, we've run out.", more like "this is not a restaurant for kids". Ok, comment ignored, our children can handle their glasses just fine. Please brings us all some water and a couple of Peronis. "We are out of Peroni and also Corona" (again, he wasn't sorry about this fact). Fine, we'll take Stellas (came out warm and he didn't offer a chilled glass like we saw other tables get. Our simple order: a couple of salads, a Rio de Janeiro pizza and a Margherita pizza. The Margherita comes out with no basil (it's only ingredient). The waiter walks away before I can ask him. When I finally get to ask him, he again is not apologetic at all. Just says he could bring some on the side if I want it. Um... yes, I wanted it. I wasn't sure if our waiter was just a bad waiter or he was trying to reflect that they do not want families there. But then I looked around and saw 4 other families with kids out on the balcony and 3 inside. My message to management is this: Brickell has become a family neighborhood. And there are plenty of restaurants that are family-friendly, including some great pizza places. If all the tables with families there last night had decided to go somewhere else, you would have had about 4 tables busy. Is that what you want? read more

Fantastic customer service! We ordered five pizzas for the office and one had an extra topping which was missed. Upon calling Piola, lovely Diana acknowledged the mishap and confirmed sending another pizza with the extra topping. We are floored at the phenomenal customer service. Run to Piola! :) read more

We hosted a family baby shower at PIola Brickell yesterday. All aspects of the food and service were terrific! Jonas, one of the managers, served as our party liaison. His personal touch and good taste made our event even more special! Thanks PIola ! We had a great time and our guests were very happy. Will definitely consider Piola for future family events. read more

The pizza here is so good and the happy hour special is a great deal. Get the funghi misti, you won't be disappointed!

Definitely NOT what it use to be. We were regulars here for 3 years since 2015, we would come 3-4 times a week to have dinner. Very surprised and disappointed to see they completely changed the menu and got rid of alot of good diches (Ravioli, avocado shrimp ). And the lack of service we received here!!!!! This place will probably be closing down soon. They lost 2 of their best customers. Will not be coming back. read more

You should NEVER order a delivery from this place! Third time that the service was horrible and salads delivered with half the ingredients listed on the menu. Also, the manager has terrible customer service skills and was "too busy" to speak to us on the phone when we called to get a refund. Suggest you stay away. read more

By far the best pizza in Miami. Has an authentic Italian taste and is always hot and fresh. The machu pichu salad is also a great choice if you are looking for a lighter meal. Besides the food, this is the only restaurant I have found in Miami since I moved here a year ago to have consistently, every time, great service. From the young lady who is the manager to all the waiters and waitresses everyone is always so polite and will accompany any request you have. Not something found too often in Miami! read more

I went last 29th, it was an amazing experience, we ordered Gnocchi. We ate so much that we could sleep that night. Amazing place and amazing food. 5stars. read more

I never write reviews. But had to comment how happy I was with my order! Never had eaten pizza here and decided to order delivery. Had the margherita, 4 cheese and a pepperoni. The food arrived very quickly for a Saturday night and very warm. The crust was perfect, thin and crispy. Ingredients tasted very fresh. So happy to have tried this place and will definitely become a regular for us. read more

Great food and options , the service is great specially Stefany she makes us feel a very special customers.

Crazy good! Pablo was awesome. Be back tomorrow to try a different pie. Drinks are really good as well so if your not hungry and just want to watch a game and put some back, this place is great for that. read more

I'm very upset with Piola at this point. My hubby and I would say we regularly go to Piola for brunch on sunday and have suggest their brunch to many. We are very happy with our service usually and do think the food is good. This weekend both of us were working and could not make it to brunch so decided to order in 2 entrees at 6:18. Around 40 minutes in, I called eat24 and they could not get through to them and just as I was about to cancel the order, they told eat24 that they would get the food over in 30 min. At 8:10pm I called again and they stated that they would have the food over and discounted the food by 20% ( Which is nothing for nearly a 2 hour wait). They then told eat24 that it would be 15 minutes. It is currently 8:31pm and we are still waiting for Piola to deliver. Extremely disappointing, and I would suggest DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE. It is highly unprofessional and irresponsible to offer delivery and take over TWO HOURS to deliver half a mile, completely unacceptable. The food JUST ARRIVED at 8:33pm not even warm. They really should discount the whole order... inappropriate. read more

NOT GOOD FOR GROUPS so don't be fooled by the spacious location and not to mention it is ridiculously hot inside so don't forget to bring your own portable electric fan and your own cooler with ice. I am also one of those people that is always cold too. The pizzas are pretty decent but it's too bad the service is terrible! By terrible, I mean I had to constantly get up and get my own water, napkins, silverware, and hunt down my waiter just to order for not only myself but my guests. Thank god I paid for 3 hours of parking on the side street near by because my quick group dinner turned into almost a 4 hour affair due to the terrible service. I want to say I got back to my car at almost 1:00 AM on a week night so it's not like we were even there at the peak dinner rush. Not to mention my waiter forgot just about everything. We made a reservation in advance because we were a large group, and by advance, I mean days in advance. Why on earth the management didn't staff properly for this was perplexing as I have managed a restaurant before. Lucky for the waiter, he still got his auto grat after his abysmal service. As much as I want to blame the waiter, I think the poor management is at fault here and it was obvious from all that I observed. If the staff was so "weeded" then why wasn't management actively jumping into help FOH service because I saw the manager leisurely watching TV at the bar and walking around the restaurant as if this level of service was acceptable. It was obvious that the management does not know how to manage, schedule, staff, and train appropriately or have any respect for its guests time and any sense of urgency. Not all servers have the organizational skills and enough sense of urgency to properly handle a 20 top. Our server was not a strong enough server to handle a 20 top. I was surprised that we did only have 1 server with a 20 top who also had other tables the section. Even the best servers shouldn't have more than 16 guests at once. Doesn't your POS keep track of table times?? Shouldn't your managers be actively checking into the system to see how long tables have been seated? Did I mention that my whole group was also sweating indoors because for whatever reason, they find it appropriate to keep the doors open to the outside in 98 degree weather. I don't care that it is dark out, it's still 98 and humid. Finally, when they closed the doors to the outside with 15 mins left on our dining time, 12:30 AM, it started to cool down. You even saw condensation on the waters the entire time and my dinner guests were using menus as fans. Definitely not dining in ever again at this location but I will still do take out. I think Piola is franchised so to whomever owns location, I hope you are reading this. I'd really like to come back and dine inside once you get this locations act together because your take out isn't as good as the dine in food and it's only a matter of time that I find a substitute with all of the new restaurants coming into Miami. It's sad that the service is truly that terrible because I actually really do enjoy the food here but I'm not about to waste another 4 hours at a sit down dinner when there are plenty of substitutes for Piola Brickell. I could've been in and out of Miami Beach location, caught a movie, and stopped for gelato with time to spare in the time I spent at that group dinner. Unacceptable. read more

Stephanie was a wonderful waitress! Delicious food and great service! Can't wait until our next trip back to Piola!

pieducks (down the street) over piola

Excellent pizza. Tasty, thin crust. Service very good. Wednesday night wine special for ladies awesome!

Really great- we did the all you can drink special. The food was great and the staff was attentive... They helped us craft cocktails and even got our friend a cigarette when he jokingly asked for one. Great people, great food. read more

The spaguetti ordered adding heavy cream had no heavy cream but it included a long hair as special ingredient.

Love this place! My go too for lunch I would say every other day. Everyone is always pleasant and great service. Pizzas are DELICIOUS, my favorite Rio de Janeiro; even the Caesar Salad is great ! read more

Visiting Miami for the weekend and this was the best pizza we have ever had!! Pizza is crispy and light and drink specials were awesome! Definitely coming back here! read more

The food is very good but the service and the managers are super bad .... so really sucks

Don't order delivery from this restaurant. 2 hours after I ordered, I called and they said it had just gone out for delivery and it would be here in 10 minutes. 3 hours after the order, I called again and they said they never received the order. Horrible customer service. read more

Worst experience EVER!!! So today I visited a restaurant next door to Piola and was referred to by the waiter and cashier that if I wanted to wine I can get it next door from Piola and they'll sell it because I'm right next door. Unfortunately for me I'm African American so of course they told me they stopped selling wine to customers that weren't eating there as of last night. This was an ABSOLUTE LIE they stopped selling wine to customers as of the moment we walked in. The fake assistant manager never even realized we weren't trying to even buy a glass we intended on buying bottles but she rejected our business anyways as they weren't even getting any. Eventually the real manager came and when I spoke to him he made it seem as if he understood but he really didn't because he thought offering me and my friends a free glass would make us feel better not realizing her apologizing would have actually been nicer. I declined the free glass because I'm not poor and I could actually afford it and asked for an apology instead but all of a sudden his assistant manager was no where to be found. She was racist and was rude I would never go there again, not even to use the bathroom if it was the only restaurant open on that block. read more

Food is okay. Nothing special, not authentic italian. Nice to go if you want to hang out with some friends and have a drink at night. However, I definitely think the wine they give you on ladies night is diluted with water. Outdoor area is nice. I've been here a few times and ordered different dishes, including the pizza and gnocchi. The gnocchi was okay, definitely could be better but the only thing I would honestly reccommend ordering off their menu is the torta nera for desert. read more

Generally good Italian food but less than stellar service. Pizzas are okay. Pastas and salads are good. Hard to find a seat at times and service is really lacking. Convenience of a pizza place in brickell is hard to beat. read more

Ordered two pizzas, got one... cold. The woman on the phone didn't speak English, her manager was very unapologetic, offered a coupon to make up for their mistake. Don't even think about eating here if you expect the slightest service. read more
