41 PIZZA — Restaurant in Miami Beach

Have to engage some of the previous comments further down the review thread concerning sale/purchase of the business.

Interaction: was greeted the moment I stepped in. Walk in look: very clean and bright, TV menu with all pricing. Order: young man working the counter was very interactive and fired off numerous suggestions since I'd never eaten there before. Food: settled on a calzone since I wanted to go to the beach.

I live in Denver and am just visiting for the week and my impression is that Miami is kind of a mixing pot of cultures; this calzone was no different.

Was baked with a nice oil on the pan that tasted light and clean. Calzone was sprinkled with sesame seeds and left in the oven to crust a bit and it really infused the flavor of the seeds into the dough. It wasn't like a typical Italian fare, and that's what was nice about it.

Overall: HUGE calzone that had great flavor from crust to content (sausage, mushrooms, jalapeños) and they have some kind of spicy sauce that seems like it's geared more towards French fries, but had a perfectly good taste for the flavor combination I chose.

Only thing I could see that anyone may complain about is that I was was quoted 10 minutes and it took 15, but if my food isn't cooked, it isn't cooked, so it needs another 5 minutes. I'm not gonna ding a restaurant on making sure the food is cooked.

Considering how expensive all the niche restaurants and hotels are here, if you're looking to keep the price under a Jackson for food for one person in Miami Beach, this place hits the mark.

Concerning the sale if the business; there were a couple of guys cutting and crimping new writing for a new machine, so it does, in fact, look like a business that has been purchased and is cleaning up from the reputation of the previous owner.

Hoping to have time to go back to try something else...

We went there to have a best pizza experience in Miami strictly based on the reviews. I am sure their pizza is very good, based on the fact that I grew up in NYC On a Saturday night, it was nothing but a total chaos there. We ordered two large with different toppings and an order of the bread sticks. Something had gone wrong with their previous order, and they just couldn’t cope the situation. After waiting for over an hour of take out, we were slapped with two plain cheese pizzas and no sign of the rest of the order. There were two young boys working with the crew went around and asked almost everyone if they got what they ordered…not once they asked me what was I waiting for. Not friendly to the tourists? Or because we were not their regular locals? We had mentioned the 10% off of $50or more order- that wasn’t applied and on top, we were charged extra for the toppings for their cheese pizza. They just put cheese and gave it to us with the confirmation that that’s all they can do. I am really not sure, what was the real problem in them serving our order. Other customers were not friendly for the most part either, it’s more of not welcoming attitude to outsiders. I rather go back to NY and enjoy my Forest Hills and Brooklyn Heights and Manhattan Pizza places after the Sabbath is over and...

I was using Pizza Dude for the past two years. At the beginning they had one of the best pizzas I ever had as well as fantastic salads. For the past 6-8 months it became a horrible place, one problem after another. On a several occasions they lost the order from EAT24 and it took over two hours for delivery (we live 5 blocks away). Then decided to call them and pick up the order myself. Another few times I came in 20 min to pick up the order, but they forgot about the phone order and did not even start it, while there was not a single customer inside. In addition, they forgot to put the advertised ingredients to the pizza. Believe it or not, but for the past six month there are always some kind of problem with them. On a "Big Lebowski" pizza they would either forgot to put the sauce at the end, forget to put blue cheese crumbles and even meat. One time they just put warm meat on the pizza that was already cooked - discusting! The last time I ordered my favorite salad - it was discusting, it looks like the chicken was cooked 3-5 days ago. Don't know how they do in a daytime, however will not use them again in the evenings/night anytime soon. Everyone can make mistake once, but they make mistakes every time (20+ times) for the past 6-8 months! They just turned an excellent place into the garbage...
