Have worked and lived nearby and never thought to try this little pizza shop - got an xl well done pepperoni and meatball appetizer . The pizza was fantastic - great balance of flavor . Sauce is really very good - crust was on point for NY style pizza- fold and only a small drape at the end - great flavor ! Will definitely be back ! Meatballs were good , not dry The appetizer size came with quite a few that would be good to make a sub at home with any leftovers . The price for the pizza was very reasonable for the quality . read more

Not the same, previous owners were much more family and had greater relation with the community. The pizza is just as bad as refrigerated store bought. read more

The pizza was good the pasta not so much. The baked ziti was very dry and over cooked. Would try again maybe just a bad or off day for pasta. read more

Tiny neighborhood pizza joint with genuine flavors and great pizza. This is where people remember you and make you feel like you are somewhere where "everybody knows your name" and they are certainly glad you came. Yummy and well priced neighborhood pizza joint. Mostly takeaway, but although there is no indoor seating, you can and sit outdoors and chill. read more

I had been meaning to try Vesuvio's out and I am glad we finally stopped in. An absolutely great option in the west Kendall area -- good sized pies for the price and it has a great fluffy inside but crispy outside crust. The cheesy garlic bread was also great, but very garlicky. My boyfriend's Philly cheesesteak was amazing! There aren't too many seats to eat there, so it's more of a takeout spot in my opinion. I will definitely be back! read more

Nice pizza! Take out primarily with a couple of picnic tables outside. Solid go to place always consistent.

Great place for a real NYC pizza Highly recommended from someone who knows real pizza

Good hot pizza! Wait time for a pie is about 30 minutes but they have ready to go slices if you need something quick. They have a decent lunch special which is 2 cheese slices and a drink. The slices are very big. The pizza is crispy so there's a slight crunch with every bite. The price is a bit high for pizza IMO but it taste so good it's nice to have once in a while. Staff is nice and helpful when recommending size pizza you should order. They also have subs here too. You can watch the pizza master make your pizza right in front of you. There's no seating inside but there are benches and tables outside that can accommodate about 10 people. read more

Went for the first time. The pizza was fresh,hot, and crispy. Excellent, will return to try the pasta. Friendly employees, rare in Miami.

Our favorite pizza joint even though a little far, id make the trip almost weekly. Last week they had the fantastic idea of changing the cheese they use and pretend no one will notice!! No mention of it or warning ... the thing was so nasty my kids took a bite and left the whole thing to toss away. Geez, kendall nothing good can last!!! Goodbye vesuvio read more

Best New York style pizza in town. All the ingredients are very fresh. You can watch them make the pizza. They do a fantastic white pizza with ricotta too. read more

Not a dine in spot, though there are some tables outside - NY style Pizza, and the ratio is always on point. I've only had the pizza and the garlic rolls, but they have a few different options. A few drink choices in the cooler, though nothing too extensive. Friendly but they get busy so it just depends on the day what kind of service you get - I've had hits and misses but nothing out of the ordinary. read more

My, oh my. I think I have found my new favorite pizza!! This pizza is sooo damn good! It's nice and thin, super flavorful, and the flavor of the pepperoni is not overwhelming like some can be. Perfect amount of sauce and cheese ratio to the bread. They take a little longer than I am used to for the order to be ready- about 30 minutes - but no biggie at all. Now that I know I just make sure I call with a little extra time. The staff inside were so warm and welcoming, and everyone seemed really efficient. There is no space for dine in, but they have three nice big tables set up outside :) You should def give them a try!! read more

I've been here since 2010, over a decade being costumer but lastly very disappointed,they made my order missing a topping I was like okay no big deal so i decided to give them one more chance Guess what they did again,unbelievable! I know the people there is not the same ,therefore things are different. Costumer service is rude,salsa is salty very salty and they are getting expensive. Unfortunately I guess this is my last time. read more

I'm pregnant & was craving a good pizza last night. My husband and son were in the mood for pasta so I looked up a place nearby and was led here. I had two cheese pizza slices and they were exactly what I was craving! My husband ordered the cheese ravioli and my son got the spaghetti and meatballs. Everything was delicious!!! We sat and enjoyed our dinner on their outside seating. We were given some garlic breads and salads which were perfect as we waited for our food. The staff was extremely friendly and made us feel welcomed. Will definitely come back again!! (Forgot to take pictures of our food :( ) read more

This is pretty good solid pizza. Definitely a go to spot if your craving decent pizza. Staff is pretty nice too.

Excellent pizza in Kendall! I appreciate that they'll do half and half which some places won't do. Their pastas are also good. Simple and to the point. The workers are welcoming and friendly. I haven't had their sandwiches yet but they do look very good. And as an FYI, they no longer serve wings. Still, this is a great place to enjoy a solid pizza. read more

Sincerely a great simple sauce that makes the pizzas and the pastas fantastic. Their steak calzone is to die for, their chicken parm is great as well as their garlic rolls. Have order plenty since we discovered them and they have not disappointed us. Keep up the great work! read more

Was in Miami again this past week and got a pizza from Vesuvio. It was great as usual. I hope they don't change it.

Okay this place is honestly so underrated! Can be easily missed it's sitting on a corner of a Kendall shopping center. The pizza is perfection. From the crust to the sauce. Everything is very fresh and made with a lot of love. Forget the big pizza chains and try this family owned restaurant. I always go traditional and get the cheese pizza and the garlic bread. Service is quick and great I usually always get take out. Definitely stop by if you're in the area. read more

Consistently great pizza. Been coming here for years, have never had a bad experience.

Today I was transported to another planet. I tried the Contadina specialty pizza. The sadest moment was when I picked up the last slice. I walked in and order the Contadina at the counter. I was created by beautifully kind girl. She was patient with my indecisiveness and then I finally concluded that this was my pizza. WOW what a decision the Contadina is made with a garlic sauce instead of tomato. They put Italian sausage , fresh basil , artichokes and not sure what else. I enjoyed every last bite by my chubby self of a 12" 6 slice pizza. If you can't tell I highly recommend this specialty pizza. The crust was perfectly toasted and crunchy. I'm sure their other menu items are just as spectacular. They have been there for many years. read more

Tucked away on the side of a nondescript Kendall plaza, Vesuvio delivers a pretty standout pie. Something about the airy, crispy--almost buttery--crust really elevates it above other local joints that opt for something of a more doughy-carbrageous crust. Also, love that you can grab by the slice if you're not feeling a whole pie. Staff was truly spectacular. Gabriela in particular was kind and attentive when there was a mishap with my Philly Cheesesteak--another unbelievably stellar offering from their menu and maybe even the best Philly cheesesteak in Miami. Sure hope she's a manager, because she carried herself like one. Will definitely be coming back when I'm in the neighborhood! read more

My go to spot for good ol fashioned NY style pizza. Been frequenting Vesuvios for about 15 years now and it never misses. My go to for a classic Ny style cheese pizza. I live about 25 minutes away but I still make the treck almost twice a month. Cheese is my go to but all their pies r great. From the veggie (fresh) and pepperoni pies to my wife's favorite, the white pizza. Extremely friendly staff as well. Always a pleasure going there. Highly recommend for a no frills NY style pizza spot. Oh and their Philly cheesesteak is damn good too. read more

I have no idea why it's taken me so long to write a review on my favorite pizza place in Miami! I'm originally from Jersey so I was so used to being disappointed in pizza from Miami, until I found Vesuvio's. I'm totally obsessed and would never order from anyone but them. It's the most authentic NYC slice in the area. I also love their baked ziti with meatballs, I order it all the time along with a medium pizza. Another one of my favorites from here would be the Philly cheese steak, whether it be with chicken or steak they absolutely kill it. I swear everything they make is the bomb. I'd recommend Vesuvio's over any pizza place in the area to anyone craving some Italian! read more

Tried this placed based on the reviews and wanting to try a new pizza place. Ordered the family special which brings a large pie, garlic rolls and a 2 liter bottle of our choice of soda for $18.95. Went to pick it up, being that it was my first time there, I was surprised to see that it really isn't a restaurant where you can eat in. Yes, they have a a few tables outside for sitting but I think it's better suited for pick up or delivery. I was disappointed that for a family special there were only half a dozen garlic rolls as opposed to other places such as Marinos or Mama Mia's family specials which include a dozen in their family specials. The pizza was ok. My husband and sons like it. Not sure if I will order again . I hate to give this type of reviews but I have to be honest. As always we all have different likes and dislikes and this place just wasn't what I expected. read more

Based on the pizza. I've put off writing this for a long time because Vesuvio pizza was truly the best you can get, but that was Then. Now - Quality has suffered; cheese is not the same; and basil has gone missing in the sauce. Flavor is what has suffered most in the pizza. They can still achieve a chewy medium and crispy crust, but it's not consistent - hit or miss. QC is out the window, like all businesses when they get complacent or cut corners... Vesuvio was a better tasting experience when Alvin (owner) or Ciro took a more active role in running the business, or even preparing the pizzas - Good Pizzaiolos are hard to come by. With that said, the reviews are above average and many people still do enjoy it. If you plan to visit and suffer from hyperacusis, no matter the degree, take your ear plugs, the db levels will put a Who concert to shame. If you dig that, then all the better! These are pre-covid opinions. Good luck. read more

This is by far my favorite pizza in Miami. The quality of ingredients is amazing and the staff is always friend. Alvin the owner runs the show with his family and he is Italian. The place is not huge inside. In fact there are just a few chairs and some tables outside so most people take their order to go. They have a wide variety of pizza options in S, L, or XL. NO medium. For 2 people normally a small will do with some garlic rolls. I'll get to those in a minute. I like for my pizza not to bend when I pick it up so I usually find the small as the best choice. They do not skimp out on the toppings. Sometimes you'll just get a few on the entire pizza from other Italian pizza joints. The cheese is brought over from Italy. Every year he plans a trip to go and select the cheese. The dough is prepared every morning so all of the ingredients are fresh and you can tell the difference. The pizza doesn't get hard the next day. Pricing is typical to any Italian style pizza figure around $20 for a small pizza and rolls. I definitely prefer to pay for quality. The role here are he bet I've had. Especially if they are just lightly toasted. It feels like that will melt in your mouth. With the garlic and cheese on top make sure you're not planning on kissing anyone soon. All in all this is my go to spot and they have yet to let me down. Keep it up!!! read more

The pizza is good, the owner is rude and nasty. This shows one $ for price, but I don't think $43 is cheap for a large pizza and some rolls.

So I order from this place when I can't order from Steve's Pizza West. Don't get me wrong, this pizza is fantastic, and was recommended to me by the amazing artist Komik. It's just I just have a soft spot for Steve's Pizza. read more

Delicious pizza! Drove around the strip mall 2 times to find this place. The pizza place is behind the Carvel ice cream store, it's on the side, not the front of the strip mall. There is no sign so you have to get out of your car and walk tp the place. That said. THE FOOD IS AMAZING. the pizza is literally made fresh. The dough is portioned out from a bowl at the end of the table and kneaded, fluffed, and tossed in front of you. THEN, you watch as the pizza man carefully and delicately puts fresh ingredients on your pizza (for me it was fresh tomatoes and fresh basil). It was AMAZING. I loved it and highlyy highly highly highly HIGHLY recommend this pizza place. If you're in the mood for pizza, or even if you aren't. read more

Was a delicious place to eat in Buford but now is closed and a franchise has taken over with a completely different menu and feel.

This pizza place is awesome not to mention the delicious pizzas and garlic rolls. Is my latest favorite pizza place no doubt. Is a small place mostly designed for take out but it has a couple of tables outside. I love calling this business to place an order and hear how the staff is so pleasant and friendly. If your craving some delicious pizza, pasta and excellent service this is the place. I highly recommend it. read more

First off, I want to say I'm not a huge pizza lover. I eat it if that's the only option, and this night was the case. My boyfriend craved pizza for the finals game and we went to yelp for some "authentic pizza" in the area rather than just going to Pizza Hut. So it's true. All the previous reviews are all true!! I thought it was too good to be true to have authentic pizza in west Kendall, but this place made it possible! Bravo! I ordered carry out so I didn't get to stay and enjoy their two tables of seating area. But since now I know, I'll probably stick to carry out. The downfall to this restaurant is probably that. And their location is to the side of the plaza so if you're driving through the plaza, you won't find it. Look behind carvel and you'll see it! We got "the works" and the ingredients tasted fresh and not TOO cheesy. It was great pizza for a great price! read more

We order from Vesuvio quite often and have enjoyed their pizzas. Tonight...I am not happy with this pizza. I went to take a bite...lifting the pizza from my plate and half of the toppings including the cheese slid off onto my blouse. The pizza dough was thin and RAW....very gross. I could not eat the first slice in its entirety and did not attempt a second slice. Disappointed to say the least. We all want something satisfactory for our money. read more
