    awesome pizza, great service, and a geat location. Inside the Wharf, great time. Plenty of seating.

    Came here one day with a friend for drinks and we were hungry, so I ordered pizza. You can scan the QR code at the tables and they should be able to deliver the pizza to your table. However, that was in my case I had to go and get my pizza after I ordered it and left tip on the app. I forgot which pizza I order to be honest with you, but it was so delicious. It was one that had a honey drizzle on it. That pizza was actually very fire. I will definitely come by here just for the pizza.

    Margherita Pizza

    This is my favorite food truck inside the Wharf. The pizza here is phenomenal! I highly recommend getting the Margherita. It's a thin pizza, light on the sauce, with gooey cheese. I usually split the pizza with a friend anytime I come here because it's so good!

    This pizza was amazing! Definitely one of the best pizzas i've had in soflo. It's tucked away in the wharf, I would've never have known it was in there. I got the piefather pizza. The pizza came with braised short rib, black truffle, taleggio, and parmesano. The pizza was about $19 with tax. Although the pizza was great, for the price of the pizza it could've had a bit more short rib. The crust was nice and crisp but still had a good chew. My only complaints were the wait time (it took over 30 minutes to get the pizza) and that there wasn't much seating available. Overall it was a good experience and i'd definitely come back!

    This is a food truck inside of the Wharf as soon as you walk in to the right hand side. There are a few tables you can sit at which is great if you've been drinking, don't want to leave, and need a quick bite. You have to place your order through a website and wait to be called. It's a completely self service experience. We decided to order the Don Corleone pizza. It's a pie with meatballs, pepperoni, salami, and topped with honey. It was fresh and okay tasting. It wasn't anything spectacular or lived up to the hype that I read on reviews before coming here. The pizza definitely needed more tomato sauce. We were just snacking so one pie was enough for us but I can see how if we came hungry or stayed drinking at The Wharf all day one pie wouldn't be enough.

    Awesome food and service hands down! Located at " The Wharf " one of several permanent food trucks inside this venue. We started with the appetizer of Nona's short rib meatballs. They were delicious and we were starving so no photo. Sometimes that happens the excitement is overwhelming and you just eat the evidence lol. Next the Margarita pizza so fresh and delicious. These pies are very small even though they cut into eight slices. It was so good we ordered a second one. That one they either ran out of fresh basil or forgot no worries delicious with or without. Definitely come here next time at " The Wharf or Mrs. Baloo.

    Pepperoni & Pomodoro Pizza. Which one would you choose?

    The Wharf is the place to be for vibes and food. The Piefather did not disappoint! This had to be one of the best pizza I've had in a while. My fave? The Piefather Pizza: Short Rib, Taleggio, Parm, & Black Truffles Definitely try the meatballs, as well! The Arancini were out of this world. Cheese & salami risotto arancini with truffle oil. Whoa!

    Margherita Pie
    Ashley F.

    I really miss eating their 5 cheese pizza at 2am after a night at the wharf fll. Taking off one star because I've had better Margherita pizza . For appetizers I recommend trying the arancini. Can't wait until they reopen!

    The piefather - short rib and truffle
    Callie D.

    The Piefather at The Wharf is my favorite food truck there! They have so many options to choose from - my favorite is The Piefather which has truffle and short rib on it. YUM. The nutella pizza is also amazing if you are craving something sweet. You can't go wrong eating pizza outdoors at a place like The Wharf. They are open Thursday - Sunday starting at 12PM. It is owned by Jose Mendín who also just opened the restaurant next to The Wharf, called Rivertail. It's where the old Briny Irish Pub used to be. Looking forward to checking that out soon!

    My new favorite pizza place in Fort Lauderdale. I have had several friends highly recommend this…read moreplace to me, so I had to go and see what it was all about. Atmosphere was refreshing as it was outside, with fireplaces, green, and TV's to watch sports game (hello World Cup). I went on a Wednesday and there were deals on menu items, drinks, and wine. My friends and I enjoyed a couple glasses of wine with our two pizzas which tasted INCREDIBLE. Our waitress highlighted that all the pizzas are made with a sourdough crust. And what is amazing, is that you can do 1/2 and 1/2 on a pizza. Meaning you can choose a sausage pizza and do an artichoke pizza for the other half. I was shocked at how good the margarita pizza was. It ended up being my favorite, which is rare because normally I love toppings. But something about this one, the flavor, cheese, and crust. It was 10/10. If you love pizza, this has to be your new favorite spot. They also have $7 espresso martinis ALL Sunday and have great daily specials!!

    I don't like writing negative reviews, especially because I had previously enjoyed this restaurant…read moreand even recommended it to friends. I'm often the person my group relies on to choose restaurants, so I was genuinely excited to have our group meet here based on my past experiences and what I thought would be a great atmosphere for watching a game. Unfortunately, after this experience, I won't be returning, as the interaction with management completely overshadowed everything else. I organized a reservation for a party of 10 after learning that an industry colleague was planning corporate group outings at the restaurant. The restaurant also heavily promotes itself as a destination for watching sporting events and accommodating large groups, which made it feel like a perfect fit. I made the reservation several days in advance and received both email and text confirmations, including a separate text from a manager confirming our party of 10. One member of our group arrived early with a few friends and began ordering food and drinks while waiting for the rest of the party. They also asked if our tables could be seated near each other once everyone arrived. It was at that point that the situation began to deteriorate. The manager insisted there was no reservation for 10 people and claimed the system only showed five, despite the confirmations we had on hand. Another member of our group who also had a reservation for 10 attempted to clarify this but was told by the general manager that he "didn't care what the confirmations showed" and that he had the final say. When several members of our group called the restaurant to try to resolve the issue--since we were actively arranging Ubers and wanted to clarify before heading over--the conversation became increasingly confrontational. Instead of attempting to understand the discrepancy or offer any solution, the same dismissive tone continued. I also called myself in an effort to de-escalate, but was met with an unprofessional and condescending response, with the manager stating he was not going to tolerate our party's behavior and abruptly saying, "I just cancelled your reservation." Having worked in and around the restaurant industry and growing up with a father who was a chef and restaurant owner, I understand that mistakes happen and systems aren't perfect. I've also worked in multiple roles within the industry, so I'm familiar with how these situations are typically handled, and I've never encountered that level of hostility directed at guests over a reservation issue. What I don't understand is meeting paying customers with hostility instead of professionalism. A simple willingness to investigate or problem-solve could have completely changed the outcome. Since we were unable to have a productive conversation with the manager, the friends who were already seated left. The rest of us Ubered to meet them elsewhere, and our group ultimately spent the rest of the evening, and our business, somewhere else instead. It's especially disappointing because the food has always been good, which makes the experience even more frustrating. Customer service starts at the top, and unfortunately, the interaction with management overshadowed everything else. I sincerely hope ownership takes this feedback seriously, as the restaurant clearly has potential. Based on this experience, and reflecting concerns others have raised as well, I can't recommend it for large group reservations.

    I've probably been to the Luigi's about five times since I wrote my first review in 2018 and every…read moresingle meal I've had here has been insanely good. On our last visit we split the lentil soup, the meatballs, the sauteed vegetables with peperoncini and olives, and a pizza. Everything was super fresh and delicious! Also the portion sizes are very generous, we had tons of leftovers. The only possible criticism I could think of is that the tables are really small. Even if you're ordering the pizza it's pretty cramped, imagine with appetizers and whatnot. A little difficult. Additionally, they get super crowded especially on the weekends and seating is very limited, even with the outdoor tables in the parking lot. But other than that, this place is fantastic, and the service is great too! Nearly forgot to mention that. Overall I have to give Luigi's another 5 star rating. They're easily one of my favorite restaurants in all of Fort Lauderdale. Check it out!

    Service! My husband called to ask if they had lunch specials…read moreand they said they did until 4pm. We walk over, sit down and ask what the lunch specials are and the waitress says they don't have any. When we told her we had called she said well the only special is the personal 8" pizza with up to 3 toppings. Then she says there is a lunch size house or cesar salad. There are no lunch prices listed anywhere. When we ask her for the prices, she has to look it up on her handheld ordering machine. She says the salads are $7.95 and the pizzas are $8.95 with up to 3 toppings. We each order a lunch salad and a personal pizza with up to 3 toppings. Salad was a good size. Pizza was OK. Very thin and very light on toppings. When we get the bill, it is higher than we thought. But my husband pays. I look at the itemized receipt and see that we were charged $1.50 per topping. I ask her about the bill and remind her she said the pizza was $8.95 with up to 3 toppings. She says, yes but the toppings are $1.50 each. I tell her she never said that and how am I supposed to know. And if I am paying for the toppings, why would you limit me to 3? It doesn't make sense. She said she was sorry but didn't offer anything to make it right. I shook my head, laughed and walked out. Total bait and switch. Never going there again.

I ordered a fried chicken add-on with my pasta, and the chicken was inedible--extremely tough and rubbery. I politely brought it to the manager's attention and asked if it could be cooked a bit more or replaced. When it came back, it was still not edible. When I explained this again, the manager dismissed my concern, saying, "that's just the chicken," and made no effort to fix the situation. He didn't offer a replacement, remove the charge, or show any level of customer care--instead, he argued with me. I've never experienced such poor customer service here, which is disappointing because the restaurant itself is otherwise fantastic. I truly hope ownership addresses this, because one manager's attitude can completely ruin what is otherwise a great place.

I don't think you could go wrong with any of the pizzas on the menu honestly. The dough is so soft and flavorful and they have the best topping selection. I really thought the bacon and jam pizza was such an amazing flavor! It was sweet yet savory and I would say that was one of the best pizzas I've ever had! I also didn't realize they have a speakeasy inside. From the road you would never believe it exists besides the pizza shop. It's called the apothecary and they have a huge assortment of crafted cocktails! I tried the New Pal which was a citrusy take on an old fashioned and I thought it was really well done! It was also strongggg. I can't wait to come back and show other people this spot. Definitely a hidden gem in downtown Fort Lauderdale along Himmarshee.

Although this place looked great, but between crying kids, and a couple poorly done menu items, they lost a lot of points on execution... Our server Tomas was great! Best part of the whole experience. When we got to see him, which wasn't often, because they were short staffed or something as he was also tending bar (where he excelled), and running to take care of everyone, all while being berated loudly by an older gentleman we had to assume was the boss. The food was where they could have made up for that, but sadly, it was all over the place. - Calamari were crispy yet tender, and perfectly seasoned breading, but the accompanying sauce was too spicy for almost everyone in our party. - Meatballs were decent sized, and though they presented beautifully they were dry and overly dense, with their sauce on the opposite end of the spectrum with almost no flavor, and sadly that matched the flavorless meat as well. - Pizzas were the star, creative and delicious though, with just the right amount of toppings but just too much char on the crust. Tomas really shone as a bartender/ mixologist though, coming up with imaginative cocktails on the fly based on our favored liquors. The ambiance is cool, and there is a really decent speakeasy vibe going on with the decor but maybe try it at night to see if that vibe comes through under cover of darkness, cuz today wasn't it.
