Towards the end of my long road trip day down the A1A, I wanted to get takeout pizza to bring to my Airbnb. After a quick browse at Eater, I spot this place. Since my hometown of Orlando was starting to get some of these chain locations, I figured I'd give it a try. So we called ahead, drove here, and picked up the pies.
No opinion on the ambiance, since I didn't go inside, but the location of the shop was nice. Downtown college town vibes with some ritzy stores for shopping and a nice Publix with a fancy dancy parking garage. Service was reportedly weird. A little stiff, definitely not customer service oriented, classic Miami.
But the most important part, the pizza, saved the day. We ordered two pies: the Star Beckham (Star Shaped Pizza, Filled With Ricotta Cheese, Mozzarella, Bacon, Onions, Tomatoes, Ranch Dressing And Basil) and the Coffee Paolo (Tomato Sauce, Mozzarella, Spicy Salami Calabrese, Gorgonzola Bleu Cheese, Natural Honey, Coffee).
The Beckham was wild, man. I've never seen anything like that before. The toppings were all really well diced and piled on. Delicious. Be careful, though, the crust is pretty flimsy, it won't hold up. And I tried both methods. I saved the ricotta bomb for the end of the slice, and I tried to squeeze it out all over the slice. Both methods were solid. Just play around.
The best bite for me, though, was the Paolo. Wow. Usually, I can at least try and describe why certain flavor combinations go together, but not with this guy. Not sure why it worked, but it did. spicy salami, tangy funky bleu, sweet honey, bitter coffee. All made for a wonderful bite. If you can only order one pie, order this one.
Overall, this was a good little pizza joint. Even though it's a chain, it certainly showed me some things I've never seen before, and that's a rarity nowadays. I liked it. I will probably be back, but at the...
Read moreI am not satisfied with the service I received during take out this past Saturday. I placed an order online for two pizzas (Hawaiian and Mushroom). When I arrived they said they gave my order to someone else named " Aileen". I went back and fourth with the person handling the orders, obviously it was my first time there to pick up the order and she stood there quietly like if I was crazy. However, thankfully someone with good customer service skills told her to put it as a priority to do the order again. I expressed to them that I was in a rush for a commitment I had and needed it right away. They assured me it wouldn't take more than 10 minutes. The point to all this is 1. Why should I wait again for my order that I did online 30 minutes prior? 2. How can they just give my order to someone they assumed it was me because we had a similar name (at least thats what they said). 3. The customer service needs to be a little stronger for this new location. I have never had any issues with the one that's located in Coconut Grove. I do believe there is an opportunity here to talk to your staff on how to handle the take out services a little better. So what does this mean? I can just walk in and say "Yeah thats me! thanks!" and walk away with someone else's order? Overall, the quality of the pizza is great but this location really needs to step it up with the...
Read moreYou want the best Mister 01 Pizza? Go to the Wynwood location, Wynwood is the real deal . You can definitely taste the difference. It's not the same, the flavor, the dough, the ingredientes, and they are super cheap on the amount of ingredients they put on pizza. Keep in mind the pizza starts at $20+ and they are not super big, people usually order 1 pizza per each. And the manager Paulina, the rudest person ever,After speaking to me rudely she left me talking alone and said she wasn't going to fight with me over a table (mind you she told me to sit there) I was in shock when the waiter told me she was the manager and the hostess Clau is as bad as her manager, literally arguing with me over a table because she wanted to sit a group of 9 that requested where I was assigned, to the point she told me Paulina did not manage the sitting chart and does not know 😁 Clau proceed to complain to Paulina , and Paulina told her just to let me sit at that table ( of course she told me to sit there). Clau was just rolling her eyes at me. That's how upset she was. They are a mess with their set up outside , it's like musical chairs. Even the waiter was embarrassed by how I was treated , for the waiter forgot her name. Over all experience I would not go there again or recommend this location, pricy for bad...
