Best thin crust pizza I've had in Miami!!! Really love that place. Sometimes I'd bike there to pick up a pizza or have it delivered. I enjoy eating pizza there with my friend Nikki. The bathrooms are a bit sketchy but its one of those hole in the wall joints that has really great tasting pizza!

Visited last night. WHAT A NIGHTMARE! Steve's boasts a great pizza and yes, it is great. However, the atmosphere is mass chaos and hysteria. The service is unprofessional, impolite, and simply rude. Once you get into the infinite single line to order, whether or not you've ordered for pick up, you must get in the same line, it will be another eternal wait to get your order. Your choice to have it delivered within 45 minutes? Yes, this is actually what they tell you on the phone. Does it happen in this time frame? NO. I have waited up to 90 minutes. It's a shame. So you might be lead to believe it's a great pizza? YES, it is. However, not worth the aggravation. I have visited this establishment and watched it's growth at least 20 years now. They have the business and the means to expand a separate line for pick up, after all, you are making it so that you don't have to wait longer for your meal-aren't you? There are two people taking orders at the same time, one for you, speaking at the 3 ft. counter, a tight space and the other shouting at the person behind you, creating no privacy for paying and completing your transaction, as well as the person behind you who feels compelled to answer the person taking the order. Is this the lame attempt to move the line faster? C'mon? This is simply rude and unprofessional. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't like to be rushed to hurry up and pay, waiting for drinks, or simply asking a question, while being shouted over, excuse me? Sorry I got in your way? It's bad enough that you have someone standing so close to you that you can smell their breath. No respect for personal space. I can't imagine the person who comes in for ONE slice? Steve's could do something about this shortcoming, unfortunately what I see is dollar after dollar being handed over and no care or concern for the customer. Yes, I did see the "remodeling" with year round Christmas lights and outdoor seating that gets wet in the rain because the awning is so short. Thanks for the strategically placed napkin dispenser. The rainwater is great for wiping off the tables because there is no bus person service. I guess that accounts for the permanent sign that hangs on the door advertising for help. Something is terribly wrong here, especially when I feel compelled to write such a review. I feel that people who don't appreciate your patronage do not deserve your business. I loved the pizza, AND I WON'T BE BACK. For those who have time and energy to put up with the nonsense, continue to patronize them...... YOU deserve it.

Best pizza in miami hands down. I went to school in Penn and went up to NYC almost every weekend. Steves is better than most NYC joints. The sauce is bananas and the crust is as good as any NYC place I've been too. My kids love it and they hardly like to eat anything. I wish there were more places in South Florida that live up to the North Easts high standards of food.

This place has good pizza but it's so freaking dirty inside of this place and the bathrooms are awful. The service sucks too but the pizza makes up for all of the mess.

i have tried but no one in Miami come close to having as good as pizza as Steve's love the pizza, love the garlic rolls, and that sauce is the best pasta good but not great but i never seen anyone every order the pasta anyways

For all you New York transplants in South Florida, in North Miami, there's a little slice of home - pie that is. A co-worker of mine, who's from Long Island, told me about this place and the pie is very Big Apple. The decor is really basic, nothing fancy. The pies are New York big and the sausage is cut in flat circles, al la Manhattan. Oh, and it's open till the wee hours if you are looking for a bite after a night on the town. And the price is right. Couldn't ask for anything more.

Maybe the most overrated place in Miami..Dont get me wrong pizza is good but far from great...The big thing this place has going for them is there hours of operation (dont think they are ever closed) ..If you are in the area its worth a visit

I love this place! Located in my old stomping grounds (North Miami), Steves still makes me come back over and over again (from Kendall). Ive been going to Steves for well over 20 years and the place looks like its been around for a lot longer than that. Not that it matters to me, the outside has gotten a small makeover for those who want to enjoy their food outside and the inside looks exactly as i remember it. The walls are covered with writing from people who have decided to mark the place with whatever they had in mind at the moment along with pictures that have been taken here over the years. The place is small so seating is a bit like being a vulture waiting for its shot at a meal. They play rock over the speakers and don't give a crap if you like it or not. As for the food, the pizza is always fresh and crispy, the sauce is slightly sweet and if you prefer toppings be prepared to get a mound of them. The sandwiches are huge as well as the pastas, the garlic rolls are greasy and awesome and they have a great bottled beer selection as well as a few drafts for you and your friends to share a pitcher. Love the food, the staff, the hours and i just wish they relocated further south. Highly recommend a stop to Steves

I loved this place when I was in MIami. I lived at JWU dorms up Biscayne and would go every week. Excellent pizza, reminded me of the stuff I ate at home. The price was pretty decent and I always left here happy. Delicious pizza.

The NY-style pizza here is awesome! But unless you're looking for an ultra-casual meal, you may be better of doing take out. Beer and wine are available.

This is just like ninja turtle pizza. It taste like a reptile made it in a sewer. Instead of fresh sauce, I think they used fancy ketchup packets from McDonalds. You will find better pizza in the frozen section of CVS. Save your money!

Pizza close to as good as it gets in Miami (for NY style). Open late (till 4am), but it does take a while, even a few slices of cheese bake 10+ minutes.. maybe they are always busy. Graffiti welcomed, long-standing locals spot worth visiting.

Ah! What a dilemma this place represents to me. I keep wanting to give it one more chance but it is time to give my honest opinion about it. This place is INCONSISTENT. I have been to Steve's 4 times. The first time my friend and I grabbed a Hawaiian and a Cheese slice. Apart from being way too heavy on the pineapple, the ham on the Hawaiian was soggy which made the crust soggy. The cheese slice was so loaded with cheese, it would make the greatest cheese lover straight up sick. The second time- my friend and I had a slice of cheese with basil (picture below). It was amazing. The crust was actually thin and crisp. The tomato sauce was tolerably sweet. There was the perfect amount of cheese. Basil was the perfect addition. The third time- had another slice of the exact same cheese with basil with the same friend and we both agreed that the crust was incredibly stale and bland. There was wayyy too much of that overly sweet tomato sauce and not enough cheese. My friend brought up a great point in that the inconsistency might be due to the fact that we order slices rather than entire pies since they use an already prepared cheese pie and throw your toppings of choice on as you order. While that is a great point, I truly believe that the inconsistency is simply a REAL issue at this place. Apart from all- the atmosphere is amazing. Great staff. I really wanna love this place and I do but the pizza is not all it's cracked up to be. :/

I order from here often although one of the girls that answer the phone has an attitude problem. I usually get the tuna salad and pizza with mushrooms and spinach. Make sure you tell them to put in nessasary dressings because they aren't willing to bring it to you if they forget. Pizza sauce is sweet I love it.

Irene H.
It's pizza.. not very hard to mess up. But some people do. I have yet to have a bad experience here. Steve's is a tiny location and very casual. Surprisingly, they have a pretty good side salad (I tried it on a whim, don't judge me). Definitely coming back. Tip: Parking is limited, so get there before or at 12pm during weekdays to grab a spot.

I saw an article on yahoo that said this was this best pizza in Florida, which I hope isn't true. The pizza wasn't the worst I've had, but wasn't very good either. The dough seemed a little undercooked, and since crust is my favorite part of a pizza, I was really let down. We also ordered some cheese garlic bread and it was drenched in garlic. I love garlic, but wow! I had the taste of garlic in my mouth for the next 2 days.

Really really good pizza. No frills restaurant with good food..I am from Chicago and enjoy deep dish pizza, but this is the best thin crust pizza that I have found in the Miami area.

4.5 stars. Although some people think Steve's Pizza is mediocre, I still think it's great. I came back about a week ago and had the pleasure of being helped by Stefanie. I hadn't met her on my previous visit, but I was glad to be greeted by someone so friendly and cheerful. She even advised me on the size of pizza I should get for myself and my little girl. This time, the sauce didn't seem as sweet, yet it was still loaded with pepperoni and mushrooms, just the way I like it. If there's one thing I hate, it's restaurants that skimp on toppings/dressing/ingredients. It was thin-crust, the way I like it, and the mushrooms were fresh (meaning, not out of a can). The cook was very nice and handed me paper plates so I wouldn't have to do dishes tonight (great suggestion!). My daughter was impressed by the pizza's appearance and kept complaining about having to wait until we drive all the way home to eat it (I did takeout this time), and with that wonderful scent of freshly baked pizza lingering in the car, I started feeling the same way. I was glad I got a large, as it lasted me for a good 2 days of lunch and dinner for myself and my daughter. She loved it and ate it, and it's hard to get her to eat her lunch. Although most kids LOVE pizza, I did encounter a pizza this week that she refused to eat, and that was Jerry & Joe's, down in Cutler Bay, so yes, she is a picky eater even when it comes to pizza! Steve's is not only recommended by me, but it is also kid approved. Give it a try, you won't regret it!

Their pizza is amazing. I've been eating pizza here since I was little and they have never failed to amaze me with their pizza. The cheese is perfectly gooey and even if you get it delivered its still amazing.

My favorite NY style pizza around because: they put flavor into it. You can taste oregano, garlic, basil...yum. The sauce is a bit sweet, but that's their thing and its OK! I love the grungy worn but loving and fun tiny building, it's a touch of home. I buy a few pies at a time and freeze the slices for the kids. How bout that?!! Love it

Alexandra M.
Their pizza is the bomb and super cheap by the slice. Its very convenient if you work late because this place is open until 3 or 4. The garlic rolls are awesome so I definitely suggest getting them. The staff is really friendly and are really nice to talk to. Make sure to tip them because they absolutely deserve it! If you're looking for the best pizza in Miami than you have come to the right place!

We came this afternoon and they were much less busy. The pizza was significantly improved, no extra crispy crust :). They have outdoor seating which is nice for the little ones but no high chairs.

This is the worst pizza my husband and I have ever had. The sauce is so overwhelmingly sweet you can't taste anything else. If you like your pizza with a pound of sugar on it, this is the way to go. This may look like a NY pizza but it doesn't taste like one. pros: you're only out $15, comes out fresh cons: the taste

Hands down the BEST pizza in North Miami Beach. If you want authentic NY style pizza this is the place to go. It's thin and crispy saucy and cheesy. Sauce is sweet and cheese is salty, nice!. I grew up on the East Coast eating real good pizza so I know what I'm talking about. I can't eat any other pizza here now that I've had their pizza, yup that's how good it is! Place: It's kinda small and tight, not to many tables, some outside but it's usually full during the day. Looks like a hole in the wall with graffiti on everything and kinda old and dark inside but that's the charm of this place. Tip: Parking spaces are limited, but there's a Home Depot across the street that you can park at.

Their pizza is awesome! I love to get mine to go although on occasion we also eat here. This is the best pizza place on this side of town. Their sauce is sweet. I especially like their cheese pizza. The slices are big and I think their x-large is their best value.

Some really bomb pizza, would recommend to anyone for late night food. Every pizza store seemed closed, lucky we found this small local pizza place that made our night and our taste buns. It atmosphere is unique a little messy but that's ok. It really like NY style pizza so if you like that you will love this. Recommend if you are ever craving pizza at like 12:30 in the morning

Being born and raised in NYC I have a love for true Brooklyn Pizza. Since moving to Miami Beach I have longed the taste of that good old fashioned pizza. Luckily I found Steve's pizzeria. Every time I ho shopping at Home Depot next door my tastebuds call for a delicious slice of pizza from Steves. You won't be disappointed. From the graffiti on the wall to the authentic wooden seat style booths. This is a great tasting slice that must not be passed up.

They don't deliver to my apartment, but I'll drive anywhere for Steve's Pizza. The sauce is magical and makes all the difference. More expensive than regular run-of-the-mill pizza places - but once you've tasted it, you'll know why.

Joy D.
Ok. I've had time to let this experience marinate. And in all sincerity I must say that Steve's Pizza left me under-whelmed. I ordered the Special, which included sausage, pepperoni and beef. The sweet sauce was ok, but not my preference for a topping on my pizza. All was not lost. I did like the thin crust of the pizza. Reminded me of pizza from back in the day, when the emphasis was more on the toppings and less on the bread. Saw it. Ate it. Don't need to do it again!

Sadly to say I won't have the pleasure of enjoining the delicious pizza of Steve`s Pizza. A Pest Control program must be implemented! The roaches took over my plate! No coming back!

Very disappointing :-( I've been eating at Steves for 15 years. The food is always great and the service is wonderful. After a year or two of being deprived of their deliciousness I decided to stop in for a couple of slices. I ordered on my way there and it was ready when I arrived. Unfortunately as I was at the register paying for my food I noticed a roach crawling on the back of the register in all of those cords and dust (and God knows what else). I was too embarrassed to say anything so I paid for my food and left. Where there is one there is definitely many many more. It wasn't a huge roach, I think this one was a German roach. Hopefully they address the issue. I'm so disgusted by seeing roaches in the place where Iove to eat. I know it's hard to avoid in south florida but the place definitely needs a good deep cleaning every once in a while.

Been in the area 16 years and I have never had such a bad experience with Steves Pizza. I'm literally 1.2 miles away and they won't deliver. The young girl on the phone was very nonchalant about the driver saying he wouldn't deliver. They lost a loyal customer. I wi take my business elsewhere. Steves has gotten to big to their bridges. Your pizza is not the only establishment around. How sad.

Love the pizza here! New York style done right! Only reason I give it a 4 is because of the lack of a real dine in option. Very small inside. Regardless it is always packed in and out. Pizza is amazing here go grab a pie to take home now!

Elizabeth A.
This place is cool, its got a laid back old pizza joint feel, old photos of celebrity visits, graffiti and sweet sauce. The pizza, unfortunately lacked all that it's talked up to be. But the garlic rolls ... sweet baby jesus! It's not my favorite but I'm a fat girl I'll probably give it another shot, should I find myself in North Miami.

Claudia V.
Probably the BEST pizza in Miami. Keyword Miami--the number one thing to take into consideration when judging it's quality and taste. Similar to New York style with a very unique twist. I think sugar is one of the secret ingredients in the tomato sauce. Open late (3AM) and worth the calories (every once in a while).

Deborah D.
I'll try a few extra miles to get the pizza and meatball parmigiana from Steve's. The quality has yet let me down. I'll call about 20 minutes ahead of time and the order is always ready on time instead of waiting in line to place an order. Parking is a little sparse at times but the hours of operation is a plus :)

This is the best pizza place in Miami hands down. When my wife first told me about it I didn't believe here until she brought a slice home and since then I been hooked . This is the best pizza that I have ever had . I will only eat pizza from this place from now on . Also the wings are great you must try this place and you'll be hooked

I chose one star because you can't go lower. I think what I dislike more than the greasy substandard pizza is the horrible service and arrogance you get late at night. There was a time when Steves Pizza was the bomb now it seems to be a trashy hangout with unfriendly staff and substandard food.

Do you ever dine at a place that is so awful, you think about it for several hours? That was how I felt yesterday. There is nothing worst then to spend money and have food so bad that well it just pisses you off. I must have missed something here because the reviews are up there. For the life of me I can not see why. Anyhow everyone is entitled to their own opinion and let's face it we all have different palates. Was in the area and wanted something quick as we had a lot of errands to run. I have passed this place a gazillion times and finally said oh let's stop here the reviews look awesome. A very small place once inside with a few tables inside and out. When I first walked in my thoughts were wow this place is very old, it looked ancient. Um time to remodel maybe? So we see very thin pizza and thick crust pan type pizza. Hubby ordered two slices of pan pizza please add sausage and mushrooms and then he ordered a side of penne with garlic rolls. I walked directly outside to snag a table and when our order was ready they call your name to pick up. I go to eat a bite of my pizza and it was cold. Not warm, cold. Hubs takes it back in to ask them to heat it up again in the oven. He then ask for extra pizza sauce, OK really ice cold pizza sauce in a cup was given to him. Oh and the garlic rolls I found nothing special about them, very doughy and not tasteful and I can pound away some garlic rolls. We ordered six and I ate half of one. At this point I knew we had made a huge mistake coming here. My slice is ready, it is covered with a few a very few thin slices of sausage and tons of raw mushrooms. The sauce was sickening sweet. Hey if you like sweet pizza sauce maybe this is for you but not for me. All in all between the cold everything, sweet sauce, terrible raw ingredients as well as the horrible pasta oh dear I would have rather gone to damn pizza hut. Service was not even friendly. Looks like they have decent business, well good but I can promise I will never be back. Chalk this place up as one of the worst meals ever in Miami.

After the Heat game last night and seeing their $20 tiny microwaved pizza, my cousin and I were looking for a place to eat and we found Steves Pizza after passing up Papa John's, etc. We got pepperoni with mushrooms, thin crust. This was the best pizza ever and I totally love funky cool places much more than some corporate crap. The employees were great, the clientele was a nice mix of people. I knew it was a great place when we drove up and the parking lot was full at 10pm. Open til 3am during the week, 4am on the weekends. I live in Palm Beach County and I want to go back!

Pizza Dive...that ish cray! Although there was one couple dressed in a suit and I was in business casual, the crowd borders between Johnson and Wales students, hipster and hood. The bathroom was outside of the restaurant space itself (like in a gas station as another reviewer wrote) and was out of paper towels, and toilet dirty. Although probably intentional, the walls are tagged / graffed up. I had to wipe my own table to not dirty my shirt sleeves. Yeah, yeah I know I sound like a total snob. Still $10 for two slices Hawaiian and a fountain soda seem like a good deal..two ginormous slices....with a spicy sweetness in the sauce and didn't need extra sauce. Plenty pieces of ham and pineapple, and a generous helping of the sauce. I for one am a fan of thin crust, and don't mind a little greasy when it comes to pizza. Music was also a little better than my usual late night dinner spots, with alt rock bumping the speakers. The food itself was 5 stars in my book, and am halfway tempted to put them in my Mangia, Mangia or late night gourmet lists... BUT, I don't appreciate nickel and dimed for sauce (thankfully I didn't need extra) or soda refills at a fast food place. In addition to the premium for the refillable soda, they charge an extra 50 cents per refill. I'm sorry, but I'm going against the grain here and giving them only three stars. If this review were solely for the pizza, this could have easily been 5 stars but in the end the ambiance and nickel and diming are what stick, bringing this place down to 3 stars for me.

I dont really get why alot of people tell me this pizza its amazing, theres nothing great about it, its lack of taste got me really dissapointed, I ordered the mushroom and spinach and sausage pizza and honesty the topis where also missing flavor, I think it will be the last time I order from them, and also it was kind of expensive 20 dlls for small pizza without taste, I threw my money on the trash, I prefer 1000 times Papa Jonhs Pizza than this. Im so disapppinted.

This place to me is absolutely amazing! It is a small little joint next to a Home Depot I believe. If you walk in and it looks a little sketchy don't let that deter you from getting pizza here. We were spending the day in Miami and later that night decided that we wanted some pizza. It was around 2 AM and being the only place open we decided to stop by for a quick bite. The service was fast and very friendly. We ordered a large pepperoni pizza and some cheese bread. The cheese bread was toasted pretty well and good flavor but not that impressive. The pizza was cooked to perfection. The crust was evenly cooked and crunchy around the edges. Just the perfect amount of cheese and sauce. Then we get to the pepperoni which was by far one of the best pepperoni I have ever had. Once cooked it curls around the edges forming these little cups with a little crisp out of this world. If you ever get the chance and are around the area you must stop in and don't leave because its a little busy. Stay and enjoy what I think is one of the best pizzas in Miami.

the very best pizza and rolls in the tri county area in my opinion, fantastic food and the place is a total hole in the wall but its all part of the experience..i come here every time im in north miami #nomcity

Caren L.
Old, heated-up pizza that takes at least 10 minutes to get a simple slice. The employees are rude, the men who make the pizza only care about quantity of sales, not quality of production. The sauce is minimal, and the place has no room for people to wait for take-out orders. I wouldn't recommend this plzza to anyone.

I had a hankering for calzone last night and figured I would give Steve's another try since it has been over a year since I have ordered from them. I ordered one large pie w/Canadian bacon and garlic, one calzone w/Canadian bacon and garlic and six garlic rolls. I requested the pie be well done and crisp. $38.00 and change plus a $5.00 cash tip. In my humble opinion, a good NY Style pizza should be thin, crisp around the edges and on the bottom and almost crack in a straight line when picked up and folded. The tomato sauce should be thick and slightly acidic leaving a quarter size puddle of dripped oil in the plate when finished eating a slice and the cheese should be fresh, as should any other topping. For those that want a thicker crust and sweeter taste there is Sicilian Style pizza. My order arrived in 33 minutes. First glance of the pizza looked pretty good. The top was nice and brown and the dough edges were nice and puffy and golden and the sauce wasn't too sweet once I got it into a plate and tasted it. The good stops there. The bottom of the pizza was way too thick absolutely raw, the Canadian bacon was sliced way too thick and the garlic was just thrown on in piles. The same thing happened last time I ordered only that time I called, spoke to the manager and was told "we're very busy". I guess they were very busy this time too. The calzone. I wish I would have looked at this before I paid because I would have sent the entire order back. I haven't gotten a decent pizza from Steve's in a long time but, I have always seemed to get decent and consistent calzone. This thing looked like it had been made in a Panini press. They actually flipped a calzone. When I cut into it the dough throughout was at least 1/4" thick and in some places 3/8". The dough was raw inside and the cheese barely warm, forget about melted. The garlic rolls look and taste like something bought in bulk. I have always heard that the key to a restaurants success starts with quality ingredients and consistency. Steve's sure has the consistency part down pat. I will NEVER order from Steve's again.

I've been to Steve's many times over the last 2 years. The quality has definitely fell off big time. I was so disappointed with my last pizza it really makes me not want to go back. I ordered a large pizza w/ pepperoni , fresh garlic, and basil. The pizza was very soggy and swamped in cheese. It was not baked long enough either; I wish I would have noticed that before I left. The pepperoni was below average quality but I never thought it was that great to begin with. I don't really have much to say about the basil and There wasn't a lot of fresh garlic. The dough did not taste the same and I'm the type where if I don't like my experience at a restaurant or pizza place, I won't go back. At least for a while I won't.

This is the best simple pizza in Miami. I'm always calling ahead when I find myself passing by to grab a slice quickly. Also a huge fan of the baked ziti with chicken and peperocino or the garlic bread with cheese.

**UPDATE** Have been back multiple times and this place is clearly 4 stars and some of the better pizza in the Miami area. I really struggled to decide whether to give this place 3 or 4 stars, but I ultimately went with three because I felt that the flaws ultimately outweighed its strengths. This place is kind of a disaster in terms of its set-up. It's slow moving and people are all kind of bunched up near the front of the restaurant. I got slices here. First, I'll say what I liked. I love that they have salami as a topping. My favorite topping combo is salami and pepperoni and it is relatively rare to find a place that offers it. Second, I thought the sauce was good. It was a sweeter sauce than most places, but it tasted good. As for what I didn't like, the pizza was overcooked. As a result, the pizza lacked the floppiness of the thin-style pizza that I like. In other words, it was too crunchy. The place was packed so that probably factored into it. I would be curious to get an entire pizza because that may have helped with the texture. I may try that at some point. I won't go out of my way to come back though.

Service is usually pretty bad especially when they answer the phone but the pizza is amazing. If you haven't tried it please go. The sweet sauce is the secret.

I have 10 people in line in front of me and it is taking forever. If I didn't call my order in already I would have left. The worst service I ever saw. Never again! The pizza sucked. I am guessing they are using cheap ingredients now to maximize profits. I think the secret of getting customers back is all the sugar they put in the sauce.

Awesome place my kids love coming here they have really good pizzas and the sub's are great also the price and the service is good, the only thing i don't like is the place is small and it gets pretty full at times so there's no place to sit other option take out.

I've been to Steve's 3 times now, and that's certainly not enough. This is now my go to place when it happens to be 1AM after a gig in Miami and I'm hungry enough to consider Denny's (yes, that hungry). The pizza is crispy, but not tooooo crispy. Just right. Great sauce, fresh toppings (generously piled on, I should add). There are no shortage of crappy pizza places in South Florida, and too few great ones. This is a great one. The leftovers were delicious the next day too. This little dive gets really busy even late at night, so you may have to wait. But your reward for waiting is total pizza satisfaction, and what more do you want out of life, eh?

recently got a pizza from there a large cheese, was awful it was so under cooked it made all of us sick and I've been eating there for years but the last few times it was no good. Maybe it's because they change the pizza makers all the time or something IDK.

Steve's Pizza has been the better part of my diet at least once per week. Not too keen on other menu items, but their cheese pizza is the best I've eaten in all of Miami thusfar, and I've had many. It's open late, until 3 a.m. on week nights, 4 a.m. on weekends. Steve's definitely has got a youth vibe to it: graffiti-covered walls and booths, arcade machines and a New Times stand ;] The cheese pizza is $13.93 for a large, and takes about 20 min until it's ready to eat, which is standard. The service is good but they don't have wait staff, you have to order at the counter and they bring it out to you. This is where the locals eat.

Steve's Pizza at one time had a good to better than good product, but the two largish pies we had were awful. They were not cooked, the cheese was like glue and the wait was an hour. Def Not Our Style Dear

This pizza is everything I have hoped for dreamed of and then some living here in South Florida. I left NYC thinking that I would never again eat pizza, that is until I came here. The restaurant is even nostalgic and feels just like home! I don't live in the area, but the trip to this place is well worth the drive for a slice.

Daniella S.
I often hear Steve's pizza is the closest thing in Miami to a NY pizza, I'm gonna say close but no cigar. The pizza is great, PIPING HOT though! The location is really cute but very small, therefore difficult to find a seat. It also doesn't help that the wait is rough and they often get the order wrong.. BUT I am a repeat customer. Just not too often. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area. Or do the smart thing and order in advance, harder to be disappointed this way.

Decided to try this place out one more time. The first time I tried to order a delivery from them but they wouldn't deliver to my address despite me living only 3.8 miles away. I keep hearing good things about them so this time I decided to order a pizza and then pick it up. I ordered a regular large pizza with 4-5 toppings and they wanted to charge me $35 for it. I told them forget it and canceled my order. I've never heard of a place charging $35 for a large pizza before. I'll stick with regular dominos before I give this overrated pizza joint my business.

This place has a huge following and is usually packed with patrons pursuing pizzas. I get it. Here's the thing: the sauce is sweet. Very sweet. Actually, there should be a sign posted on the door. That's how sweet the sauce is. I understand that Steve's is a North Miami staple. It just seems to me that it's because of the location and good ol' fashioned "pizza place" ambiance; not the pizza itself. You can have the graffiti on the seats, candy machines, and old video game cabinets to make a place look like a "pizza joint" but the pizza should back all that up. Steve's fell short of that. New York pizza it is not.

Haven't found a better Pizza in Miami. It's consistently great! Delivery service sucks the driver will not bring it up to my condo but instead insists that I come downstairs to pick it up from him, I don't tip him for being such a lazy ass. If you want good pizza in NMB this is the place.

Leonard I.
I can say this pizza joint is really good after driving by a couple of times decided to try it out. The place is small and all walls have signatures on them which makes it cool. The pizza is really fresh and good that every bite makes it worthwhile there slices are big and they stand by there word of you've tried the rest now try the best. Hands down best pizza almost like the one in Cosmo in Vegas. Overall will be back when I visit again.

So I've been here a million times yet haven't written a review! But had lunch there yesterday...and want more today!! If youre ever in miami, you have to go to steves! The pizza slices are huge, and amazing. I switch it up often but usually go back to the pepperoni. They're the little ones :) .. There's parking, which always sells me! The food comes out pretty quick and the service is awesome! ! Oh.. and definitely try their garlic rolls... and try not to soak up every last bit!

Our local friend took us out here for a late 1am dinner. The place itself is really small and there was quite a wait even at that hour. But, so worth it. You could watch the two pizza makers in the back cranking out these pizzas like no other. They seriously need a tip jar. I ordered 1 slice of cheese & 1 slice of Steve's special. These thin crust slices were HUGE. And like others have mentioned, the tomato sauce makes the pizza. And there's a great ratio of sauce to cheese. And Steve's Special is basically like Petrillo's pizza but on a thin crust. The thin crust could barely hold up all the toppings but it was a deliciously messy experience.

Tried to place a delivery order to Steve's recently. Halfway through the process, I got disconnected. I called back and was told, with an attitude, "Sorry buddy, it's raining here." I guess I wasn't disconnected, but hung up on. I then asked why I was hung up on instead of being told this, asked to speak to the manager on duty. I was transferred to a woman whom again asked "Pickup or Delivery?" I questioned why I couldn't recieve a delivery, "Does the driver use a motorbike or something?" I was told no, but he wouldn't deliver in the rain. I live but a few blocks from Steve's. I stepped onto my balcony just in time to hear the rain start, which lasted about 4 minutes. This is Miami, rain comes and goes as often as a light switch is turned on and off. I told them I would find a place that was capable of delivering in the rain and was hung up on again. What bugs me is the unprofessional manner in which the situation was handled. I don't even think that was a manager I spoke to. Needless to say, I won't be giving Steve's any more of my business. Your pies are okay at best (tooo sweet/sugary), but my most recent experience with your customer service was abysmal. I tried ordering here because my favorite place is closed at the hour. I work in the restaurant industry. Try Mario's Pizza & Pasta on 123rd, 2 blocks away. I grew up in Jersey and got to experience NY style pizza from all over the tri-state area. Steve's is good for Miami, but if authentic NY is what you want, Mario's takes the cake.. err.. pie. Along with better pizza comes better customer service. Thanks a bunch Steve's; have a chat with your staff and you won't lose customers over preventible issues such as this.

Had high expectations for these pizzas. ordered delivery, one cheese pizza and one "meat lovers". The pizzas arrived on time. The meat lovers was terrible. the meats were piled on sections of the pizza, just awfull. both pizzas were made with no love or care.

Christian J.
I like this place. The pizza is definitely above average taste and quality. The space is also pretty cool. BUT they do something that, personally, I don't like. When I've ordered a slice of "specialty" pizza (the Steve's Special and Vegetable special), all the toppings come piled on top in a miniature mountain. The toppings themselves don't taste impressive, and are also huge. This makes it difficult to eat the toppings AS TOPPINGS. You end up needing to use a fork to eat them up before getting to any cheese. It's pretty annoying. I'll be back for some slices of pepperoni though.

Normally I love Steve's it's one of the reasons why I would drive way out of my way (all the way from Coral Gables) just for pizza but this past experience left a bitter taste in my mouth. I was ordering an usually large amount of pizza and decided to call ahead so I wouldn't have to wait as long. Not only was I placed on hold for over 7 minutes but when we got there the young lady at the counter obviously had no idea what customer service is. After clearly repeating my order to her on the phone she still got my pizzas all wrong. Although your pizzas taste great, you've really got to step up your customer service. Definitely thinking twice before heading to Steve's again.

Best pizza in Miami- (second best is Miami's best pizza in Coral Gables) I love Steve's. I have been coming here for years and I always order the same foolproof item from the menu- slice of cheese- The single slices are the best because they make the whole pizza and then reheat them in the oven and they come out perfectly crispy. The crust is perfect, not to thin, not to thick. The sauce is slightly sweet. The cheese is simple and just enough. Garlic rolls to share are also delicious- but don't kiss anyone after. One mistake- ordering toppings- some people like the toppings but in my opinion they overload the toppings too much and the pizza sometimes comes out soggy. limit the toppings to 1 or 2. Don't judge the pizza place by the graffiti walls and decor that needs to be fixed up- the pizza is perfect and also well priced.

I'm from ny so I know good pizza and my pie was soggy and not crispy, very different from what I'm used to, I would much rather go across the street to evios where they make thin crispy delicious pizza that tastes like authentic ny pizza, Steve's is open late but that's about the only good thing...why do u think it's all drunk people eating there?

Jesus R.
The former champ. Now, the number one contender. The sweet sauce is perfect. The crust, when done right, is nice and crispy. The pepperoni is nice and spicy, and the service is no nonsense. The only reason it's not a five anymore is because it's maddeningly inconsistent. At times, it's better than any I've ever had. Other times, it's just a glop barely better than chain pizzas. However, most of the time it's somewhere in the middle, but closer to great. Once in a while, the elements are just right and BAM, best slice you'll ever eat.

Went here last night, and was EXTREMELY disappointed. My friend and I ordered the most basic thing you can ask for at a pizza place, two slices of cheese pizza. After about 15 minutes of waiting, she went up and asked if maybe the order had been overlooked. The rude man behind the counter said "just listen for your name" and pointed to his own ears. Oh is that how it works? She went up two more times and both times they rudely told her to just wait and that her order would be up soon. After waiting just under an hour, I went up and said "I think there's been a mistake, it's been nearly an hour and we still don't have our food." It was only then that they took the two seconds it took to scan the tickets and see that we were right all along, and that our order was overlooked. It's more than understandable that at a busy place, a person's ticket might get overlooked. It is not okay to REPEATEDLY be dismissive and condescending to a female patron of your establishment, this is pandemic to our society. A female is routinely told to "just listen", but as soon as a male presents the same question, people actually take the time to listen? This experience left me saddened and disturbed over the kind of disregard some people in our society face. I would like to add that the girl taking orders and operating the register was very nice and the only one who appeared to be on top of things. I think maybe had she not been busy on the phone taking orders she'd have helped us rectify the situation much sooner. Please take this into consideration.

krista L.
how do you say it... DELICIOUS... yes, it's so good. i did however once cut this place off, but i'll tell you about that in a sec. the pizza is fabulous. it has a sweet marinara sauce that complements the cheese and the crust so well! the crust is nice and crisp and the cheese bubbles up and browns a bit on the edges. their pepperoni is amazing. it's the small REAL pepperoni that curls up after it's cooked. a little grease pools up inside of it and fills your mouth with flavor! their garlic rolls are great too, so garlicky and fresh. the calzones are served with their special marinara. they are cheesy and full instead of some places that only put the stuffing in the center and then you get all the crust around the edges that is half way inedible. their antipasta is my favorite that i've ever had. it's full of meat and cheese and their dressing makes the whole thing, tangy and tasty. so, the story...the reason that good ole' steve got cut off is because they charge an arm and a leg compared to other pizza places that we've ordered delivery from. we once ordered delivery because we were in no shape to drive there, even though it was only 2 miles away. they charge a $6 delivery fee to go over the bridge into bay harbour! wow, 2 miles, dude! after we paid a whopping $45 for pizza, antipasta, garlic rolls and delivery, that was the end of it for us. we started ordering papa johns and moncheese from surfside. however, we eventually ended up crawling back to our buddy steve groveling and asking for forgiveness because the pizza is just that good. but we did stop having it delivered, we just couldn't condone that spending.

The thick crust pizza is good, the wait is never that long, the service is usually very good. You can also get single slices to order, just like NY. It always seems to be crowded and there is a small number of tables to sit at. Especially on weekends when the teenagers with the munchies drop in after a night on the town. This place was open immediately after the hurricane (with their generators) and there was a line almost around the building to get your pizza.

The best pizza I've had since I've moved to South Florida. Its NY style but its better than all the NY style pizza places I've tried here. The crust was perfect and they pile the toppings on the pizza that by the time you get it some of it is falling off. ITs so good though. And it also comes nice and hot. They are open late some days til 4am some days till 2am. Try this place you won't be disappointed.

I've been coming to Steve's Pizza for about 16 years. In fact, at one point my picture was even on the wall! IMO Steve's Pizza is by far one of the best (if not THE best) pizza in South Florida. I will admit that Steve's is rough around the edges, to put it nicely. If you're looking for great customer service or a friendly smile when you order your pie, then Steve's Pizza is NOT for you. Don't bother even driving by there. Let's face it, they are there to make pizza, not be your friend. So if you're offended by the fact that the girl at the register didn't sing your praises when you ordered your pie then you've definitely walked into the wrong place. Now, if you want an amazing life-changing pizza then Steve's is DEFINITELY for you. The sauce is sweet, the dough is PERFECT. And the pepperoni, mmm mmm mmm. I will continue coming to Steve's for as long as they are open. And I recommend it to all my friends, with the disclosure that the customer service sucks. But that's ok, cause the pizza is worth the eyeroll from the ladies at the register.

This is an update to my previously glowing review about 'Steve's'. While I'm still a fan of their pizza, I've noticed some glaring quality control issues with their food. On my last two visits, the plastic casing of the pepperoni was left on the entire pizza. We took the pizza back to the restaurant to point out that half the pizza is covered in plastic and the check-out girl argued that "this is how it should be. That casing is edible. That's how the pizza always is.". After all the times I've eaten at Steve's, i know that this is not how the pizza always is. Also, this plastic was so thick and foreign to food, it was insulting. Instead of graciously admitting their mistake, the check-out girl argued and argued about it. That right there is the reason for the low-review. That argumentative check-out girl took their review from 5 stars to 1 begrudging one. My advice to Steve: Control the quality of your food and if in the wrong don't argue about it. You lost a weekly customer.

Great local pizza spot! This is a tiny hole-in-the-wall establishment, with LOTS of character. The staff is friendly, yet has a certain edge as well. They're definitely fit the ambiance Steve's portrays. Then again, if you're not up for the adventure, but you still want some of this delicious pizza, you're in luck, because Steve's delivers. Rest assured, each time you visit Steve's (or have it delivered), you're in for the same quality food. The flavors are reliable/consistent and you always know what you're going to get here! P.S. If you get pizza by the slice, be aware, they're HUGE.

This used to be one of my favorites in Miami, but lately it's been lackluster and sort of pricey. That isn't my problem though, the real problem is that I and a few people I know have gotten violently ill after eating here. My experience was a few years ago, but I remember it vividly. I won't go into details but it left me in bed for a few days. I have been back only a couple of times since without incident but my friend is still recovering from her experience over the weekend, I'm not planning on going back until they learn safe food storage.

But its official, you have sunken to a new low. You cant keep living off your rep. The product you are putting out is sub par Miami garbage! I wont be ordering from you for awhile. As much as it pains me. I have talked you up to everyone, and even defended you. But no more. How the hell do you send this out? This is a margherita slice? Allie, start paying attention to your business! Your competitors are catching up! Joes Old School and Kings County are passing you by. Im crushed!

Maybe the hype was imbedded in my head. Out first time at Steve's, we ordered two large pizzas which we ordered for take out, cost nearly $50! I don't mind spending the money if the quality is there, but once I had told people I wasn't a big fan, I was often told to come back and to try their slices... Now I am here, with two slices of pepperoni, a cheese, three garlic rolls, and a fountain drink, all totaling around $15. I'm excited. But once again, I can't imagine why people compare this place to NY pizza. It was so greasy, I had to throw half of it away. When I picked up my slice, all of the grease poured off of it. Not dripped but like a fountain it poured. Not only that, the sauce was too sweet for my liking. Won't come back.

For some time their sauce went bland. I said something, they brought their sweet robust tasty sauce back. Therefore they have me again for life!!! I absolutely love this pizza. I usually get cheese only but next time I'll get some meatball & onion on my slice!!!!

Steves pizza has been coming with bits of plastic baked into it lately Apparently theyve forgotten to remove the casing from the pepperoni before using it so each pepperoni is edged in baked on plastic. Happened twice in 2 months. Returned one of the pizzas and the lady at the register tried to convince me that's how it was supposed to be. Why that casing is food grade! Thats how it always is. I showed her some of the plastic i peeled off. She replies slowly "And you got that off the pizza??" "Yes, maam". Silence. Smh. Steve's! Do better! Until you do, can't recommend

With high expectations from all the hype, this was a let-down. Very crowded, with long lines, and a very long wait after placing our eat-in order of a pizza and rolls, we were ready to chow down by the time we got our food. It was ok, but not exceptional. The crust was oddly pasty, and the sauce was very sweet, to the point of distraction. I don't see a reason to return. It was that unexceptional.

I ALMOST LOST A TOOTH! I don't even want to put one star; that's one star too many. This place deserves a negative star for the penny I found in my pizza and for the horrible customer service I received from the absolute worst staff at this joint. I was about to finish my pizza when I bit down and almost lost a tooth to the penny I found. I went inside just to let the staff know what I found; I didn't ask for my money back, and I didn't complain. I just wanted them to know, and you know what I got in return? I got accused of putting my own money in the pizza I just bought. ARE YOU SERIOUS? They argued with me back and forth on how the penny had gotten there. The guy that made the pizza looked at me and said " I put toppings on your pizza, not pennys." To top this experience off, he finished the conversation by saying "Hey, I'm not your maid, the trash is over there." I WILL NEVER bring my business back to this joint, and I WILL NOT recommend this place to anyone. Not because of the food, or even the penny that almost broke my tooth off, but I will never come back here because of the horrendous staff and horrible customer service. worst place ever.

PENNY IN MY PIZZA!!!!!! WORST PLACE EVER I don't even know where to start with this wretched place! My friend was raving about this place so I came here for lunch. I ordered pepperoni, he ordered the meat lovers pizza. It was okay I guess, until my friend found a cooked penny in his pizza. He went inside just to bring awareness to the fact that he chomped down on a penny that could have possibly broken his tooth. We didn't ask for a refund, we didn't complain, and the first thing that came out of the cashier's mouth was an accusation. She accused my friend of putting his own change in his pizza. The guy actually making the pizza said "i put toppings on your pizza, not pennys." WHAT KIND OF SERVICE IS THIS? Then, to make this even better, the guy behind the counter pointed at the garbage and said "I'm not your maid, the trash is over there." Have these people ever heard of customer service? EVER? By far the WORST experience ever. I will never bring my business back to this place and I will NEVER recommend this spot to anyone. I don't even care about the penny, the customer service was horrendous and left a huge impression on me. Oh yea, they didn't apologize either!

Ronni R.
I use to be a Steve's fan but no longer. Their sauce is too sweet for my taste. I'm from New England, where there are many great pizza parlors... so I think I am a pretty good judge of what constitutes a good pizza. Pizza isn't suppose to be sweet. If that wasn't bad enough when I ordered the pizza, I made it very clear I wanted the pizza crispy, well done, and what I got was doughy and just barely cooked. Wish I had known that before I left the restaurant. I got it home and then found out it was not cooked as I had requested. Since I use to like Steve's, I decided to give it another try and the same thing happened. They don't listen or don't care, not sure which. I won't waste my money there again. Ronni R

This well-known staple of Miami's pizza hasn't changed since I was a kid. Their pizzas are probably the best ones in Miami, New York style with lots of basil in their tomato sauce if you need a sweet taste! Go back in time as you sit on their banquets which have classic arcade games such as Miss Pac-Man and centipede. This place literally has not changed since I was a little kid and I'm thankful for it.

I've been going here since I was a child. Whether it's a quick slice between meetings or 3 slices at 2am, this is your place for pizza in north Miami. My advice is to order by the slice instead of by the pie. Also, if you're getting it delivered, you're missing out on the environment & freshness. This isn't Pappa johns. *great music too.

So I just came back from Steve's Pizza and I have to say it was really good. I think what really sets the pizza aside from other pizza places is the sauce! I don't know what it was but it had this sweet taste. I was amazed!!! We got the meat lovers pie, it came with sausage, pepperoni, and ham. (We took out the meatballs) The ham and sausage pieces weren't really cut very small but it didnt really bother me. The pie came with 8 slices but me and my boyfriend couldn't finish :-( Portion of the slices are very big in my opinion. Next time I will be getting 2 slices only.

Stayed at the Best Western. I've been to Miami a bunch of times but I had not found a really good place to eat. This place will definitely be a stop on my return trips.

The 1st time that I came here the pizza was pretty tasty BUT within the last few times that I bought a slice of pizza here it was HORRIBLE. Yo! I grew up in New York City and I heard this place was the joint but LATELY the pizza is undercooked, raw, hardly any sauce or a lot sauce with no cheese....I mean, dang! Steve, take more pride in your pizza slices like most New yorker do... **Note: This place is excellent for taking a late night date here....you know, someone who doesn't know anything about having a GOOD slice of pizza. Check it, normally the sauce is nice and sweet and the pepperoni is freshly done but NO... when I ordered two slices of pizza...I had to take BOTH of them back to be cooked because it was RAW...and the girl at the counter had the Nerve to tell me "it depends on who cooks the pizza that day...some cook it well done and others cook it not so well done.." No apology, no real service skills.....REALLY!!!, lady...just hire someone who's consistent at making REAL pizza!!!! I mean, is it called "Steve's Pizza" or called "Joe's, Jimmy's, Billy's or whoever is working that day...Pizza" I shouldn't have to tell you how to make pizza back there!!!! MAN!...I'm NEVER coming back here EVER AGAIN!!!! This place Sucks...just rename it "Steve's Raw Pizza" Don't waste your time here...

I have gone here before, and the pizza was okay but now....... The pizza was so full of grease that it soaked through the paper plate, the pepperoni did not even adhere to the cheese. Sanitation is obviously not a priority there anymore

Holy crap balls....This is THE best pizza in South Florida. The pizza sauce is unbelievable! I love the little pepperoni. Well worth the 30 minute trip I make.

I am relieved to read that others had such a terrible experience, I was working in the area and remembered how much I enjoyed their pizza. I order 2 slices and a drink normally 5-6 bucks any where else, $10 bucks here. Ok, I was hungry and there already. What I got was a grease pit of thin soggy something with uncooked pepperonis on top, Horrible, I brought one slice back and they remade it with some attitude, It came out the same,.Whoever bought it knows zero about pizza or customer service. Never again Take a pass until they again earn our business

Awesome greasy pizza, really epitomizes what comfort food pizza should be, oh and best yet, they have Dr Browns cream soda! Baked ziti is also really good. Not to mention late night hrs :p

This place used to have the best pizza and garlic rolls...my family and I ordered a veggie pizza, supreme and Canadian bacon and pineapple pizza and neither one was to rave about. The veggie pizza was covered in an overwhelming amount of green bell peppers and the supreme was covered in green bell peppers and onions as well. We will definitely not be coming back here.

Why say you deliver until 3am if when a customer calls at midnight you tell them "we're not delivering to there"... I live 20 blocks north of Steve's and the very rude b-word who answers the phone gets pleasure out of telling people she's not sending a driver that way. Here's a tip, Steve, if you don't have drivers; don't offer delivery.

Steve's Pizza is a legend in Miami. People speak of it with reverence. The husband of a coworker of mine will drive from north Broward county just to pick up a pizza from this place. Honestly, I don't know how I ever lived in Miami for eleven years without ever eating or ordering from this place, given how much it had been talked up to me. Reality was disappointing. The order started to go wrong when the delivery guy couldn't seem to work out that NE 123rd street and NE 125th Street are the same street, but that the name of the street changes once you get past 14th Avenue. But honestly, the lukewarm pizza I was left with actually tasted a great deal like a Red Baron oven-rise pizza that I might have baked myself. The pepperoni was the tiny, nickel-sized kind, you know the deal, the ones that curl upwards in the oven and form a sort of cup for all the grease that is cooked out of the meat. I wolfed it down but only because I was completely starving at the time I ordered, a fair bit more so after the wait and flagging down the delivery. I had a frank chat with a buddy about Steve's Pizza and he tried to give me more of a lowdown: everybody loves Steve's Pizza for the fond memories of hanging out and screwing around there in the 80s, "when it was great." I can picture everyone driving around town, from home, to the malls, to the skating rink, and then to Steve's Pizza. I kinda have to imagine it having a better pizza, but my buddy fully admitted "it isn't what it used to be," but everyone wants it to be that way again. But longtime nostalgia can't feed a Tennessee transplant. To Steve's credit, the shop is open very late, but I'm quite glad that East Side is closer to my home, because it's still easily my first pick, I'll go with them every time not even questioning my reflexes. Even Andiamo's is ten times better. I'll perhaps give Steve another shot someday, hopefully I just picked a bad day.

One word. Delicious. If you enjoy New York style pizza, you should visit one of their locations. Has the feel of a charming, family-run pizzeria. I usually do take out. Staff was friendly and quickly got the pizza to me. Worth trying!

Steve's Pizza brings back fond memories, and never disappoints. When you walk in and order, you always know exactly what you're going to get - delicious New York style pizza. The sweet tomato sauce makes my mouth water just thinking about it. There is nothing like a slice of pizza, a beer, and some good friends to carve your name into the wall with. I'm a fork and knife pizza kind of girl, but Steve's gets me to pick it up and fold it in half without thinking twice. Seating can be kind of tricky - it gets packed and a little cramped, so make sure to get there and have a friend grab a table. Voted Best Pizza by New Times this year - and it was definitely earned!

As a former New Yorker and Life time fatboy.lol .. I can tell you this is as close to an NYC slice of pizza your gonna get in miami. The crust was crunchy...the sauce was sweet n the service was fast. 2 slices with drinks under 10 bucks... only one concern was that I overheard the chefs laughing and talking about a customer in spanish... I did not like that so much.. but I'm there for good pizza, so I shrugged it off and ate my delicious slice...

Everything at Steve's is really really good... The pizza may not be the best of ever had but it's still very delicious. Also this place is open really late perfect for munchies or any midnight cravings.

Been here a couple of times, both times, memorable. One bite of garlic rolls and I immediately felt high. Garlic seeping through my pores. Best pizza on the Biscayne strip; best garlic rolls in Miami. Budwiser is the only draft from what I recall. I love this place. It is open late and hits the spot.

Hey, I think this pizza joint may have been vandalized??? Every single time I visit, there is graffiti all over the whole place. Weird. Otherwise, great sauce.

Not good pizza. The sauce tastes like Ragu pasta sauce. Strangely sweet. The pizza was a mess with no cheese 3 inches from the crust and the whole thing was soggy. There was no love put into this pizza. I've had better pizza at Pizza Hut.

Denisse D.
You know despite what people say about this place, I like Steve's pizza. I'm surprised by the mixed reviews here. I do wish I can give them 3 1/2 though I've only had their pizza and found it to be right in target with what I want for a pizza. Have I had better pizza, well yea, but this place is good enough to make me drive here from Hialeah Gardens in the middle of the night, lol I've had their pepperoni and meatball, cheese and regular pepperoni. Each time has been yummy. Thin and toasty crust is the beez knees for me so I'm always a happy camper. Their sauce is a bit on the sweet side for me but when you add toppings it compensates. Give Steve's Pizza a try you won't be disappointed! Enjoy!

It didn't take long for me to find a N.Y. style pizza after a couple of weeks in Miami. Thanks to my friend, Patricia, and a day of pizza joint hopping (slice here, slice there), Steve's was our final stop and well worth the wait! As with some of our other stops, the slices were the size of Imperial Star Destroyers but the best thing was the massive amount of toppings they heap onto a slice. All of this, served in a wonderful dive of a place (clean but decorated in early abandoned tenement) with a video game if you have any spare quarters. Dine outside for a more "Miami" experience. You can bet I'll be back every time I pay a visit to the Home Depot right next door... or when I'm traveling north on Biscayne... or I'm hungry... or want to play the video game. Just like New York without being shot in the leg!

The pizza here is delightful. Real deal delicious. Only critique is maybe too heavy on the toppings depending on your taste. I've only been here twice and only had the pizza. The first time was a late night, slightly tipsy experience. But now I'm convinced it's not a fluke. NY style thinnish crust, sweet sauce and a variety of toppings to choose from. Good vibes if you're planning to dine in. I think I will check out the stromboli or hoagies next.

I always order my pizza from Steve and I recommended the place to many friends. Few bourse ago, however, I had the worst pizza in my life! The crust was moist and undercooked -if cooked at all!!- to the point I suspected that they forgot to even cook it! I ordered a large veggie pizza, and I felt like I through my money into the toilet seat. If you still plan to eat there, have anything BUT the veggie pizza!

Katherine D.
Steve's Pizza is always crowded and hailed as one of the best pizza places in Miami, so I was disappointed when it wasn't. I ordered a white pizza with spinach and Italian sausage, a specialty pizza but nothing so crazy that pizza places don't normally make. Most of the pizza was bread uncovered with the cheese and toppings, and it was baked so thinly that there were large air pockets of bread. I didn't pay for a specialty pizza to eat plain bread. I was disappointed and wont be returning.

Carolina M.
Good pizza. And this is coming from a non pizza eater. To eat pizza for me, it has to be great. Little hole in the wall. Been going here for years . Good for late night. Fresh ingredients, good soups as well. There is parking and it is always crowded.A little sketchy and cramped inside but don't be put off by it.

Josh J.
I enjoyed my experience. Anything about Steve's I didn't like was due to the fact that my personal preference is for Chicago style pizza, but Steve's makes New York style. The crust is high quality and very good, the sauce is somewhat sweet, the toppings are thinly sliced, and the cheese is delicious. The service is good with a reasonable wait time, especially short if you order by the slice. The pizza is a little bit pricey in my opinion. All in all, if you want New York style pizza, this is the place for you.

The best NY pizza outside of NY. They are open until 3AM. Don't miss out on Steve's. Your wlecome!

Delicious late night pizza... okay, who am I kidding, Steve's pizza is delicious any time of the day. If you're eating in, I hope you're drunk enough to not notice how dive-y this place looks. Actually, it is somewhat fitting for stuffing pizza all over your face and not feeling guilty whatsoever. And yes, the pizza is delicious enough that you will be stuffing your face. Steve's somehow makes me forget my table manners. It must be something about the oversized slices or the abundance of toppings sliding over melty cheese. With that said, I recommend just taking the pizza to go. You won't be missing much by not dining here. Okay so back to the pizza. They serve thin crust NY-style. Get the Steve's Special! It's topped with pepperoni, sausage, meatball, green pepper, onion, mushroom, and anchovy on request (um, yes anchovies!). I can count on Steve's for a satisfying pizza and then just as satisfying leftovers!

Very good pizza! They are in business for a very long time. Quality goes up and down but it's always one of the best pizzas around. The inside is still original like from when they just opened up. Even with the old arcades games. I prefer the mushroom pizza.

NPS = 7 This is your standard pizza. Nothing over the top, nothing fancy...yet, nothing horrible either. The inside is very small, maybe holds 15-20 people at the most. You can, however, order your pizza and sit outside to enjoy the day if the weather is nice. As far as the pizza goes: it's....alright. Nothing sticks out in my mind about it, sadly. I mean... I would definitely come here as opposed to a Papa John's or a Pizza Hut. Steve's Pizza tastes better than that. But as far as competitive advantage goes...I think I have to say location? There are not many other pizza places in the area (at least that I know of or have heard of) that serve pizza like this. A slice costs about $2 and some change so you can't beat that. I went here with my girlfriend and we split a small pizza, half cheese and half pepperoni. It hit the spot and left us content. I wish I would have tried the garlic rolls. Another table had ordered the rolls and they looked delicious. The inside is completely "tagged" with Sharpie-graffiti and some might say it gives the location its character...I would not say I agree with that, but whatever. If you are in the area, are CRAVING pizza....I would say check out Steve's. The service is a SLOW but that is the tradeoff for getting a pizza made to order. Other than that, I really can't say much "popped" in terms of "wow" factor.

Ate there for lunch. Had a salad and stromboli (both were very good). Came out to around $18 which I thought was a little expensive. I'd defnitely eat there again though.

(To be read in Don LaFontaine's mesmerizing baritone voice) "IN THE LAND OF SOUTH FLORIDA WHERE THE WEATHER AND BABES ARE HOT BUT THE PIZZA IS NOT, THERE COMES AN UNLIKELY HERO NAMED STEVE TO SAVE US FROM THE TERROR THAT IS PIZZA HUT." Steve's Pizza is so far, the best pizza I've had in the last 10 years in Miami. It was good and hit the spot, but I have yet to be truly wowed by a pizza pie here in State of Florida. Originally, I'm from New Jersey where THEE BEST pizza in the world can be found on every street corner, back alley and the boardwalk at The Shore. Steve's incorporates a similar Jersey style - super thin crust, greasy and loaded up with toppings so heavy that you need to use a fork and knife to devour it. The price was right too, about $12 for a medium meat lovers pie. My pizza-loving man of the house, Rigo R was blown away and could not stop shoving pizza in his face like a Hungry Hungry Hippo after their marbles. We agreed to just a few slices each before doing the grocery shopping at Whole Foods across the street and got a box to take some pizza home. While enjoying the rest of my Stella and watching the notoriously bad Miami drivers play bumper cars out on US1, he inhaled two more pieces and a box was no longer necessary. "Hey, don't let me hear you complaining about your muffin top later!" I exclaim at the top of my lungs (which drew some interesting looks from other patrons). Steve's is definitely a dive - a tiny place with graffiti on the walls. The tables are filthy which made me not even want to look in the bathroom. I was impressed by the selection of cold bottled beer in their fridge, but no bins were available to recycle these bottles. Parking was interesting - almost got into 2 or 3 accidents trying get in and out of the lot so be careful! Like I said, the pizza was good, but the crust could have been a little thicker and the toppings more evenly distributed instead of all lumped in the center of the pie. For heaven's sake, get with the times and have a bin available for recycling! "THE QUEST FOR GREAT PIZZA TO BE CONTINUED... "

I remember coming to Steve's late nights buzzed and in need of something to satisfy my tummy. Of course when you've been drink EVERYTHING taste better but my remmanensance is for the kudos to their late hours. The pizza itself is good. As of recently it seems as though the sauce is getting sweeter and sweeter which I'm not a fan of but its still not bad. I also order their minestrone soup which is pretty tasty. Only twice of the many times have I come here and there wasn't any available seating inside or outside (Bummer) but the joint isn't that large so I understand. If your getting slices the food is prepared quick fast and in a hurry, They yell your name and you come to the window to pick it up. The pricing can't be beat with a stick and after a slice and a bowl of soup I'm ready to call it a night. If its your first time here bring a sharpie and scavenge for an empty space to mark your territory. At any other establishment I would turn my nose to the "graffiti" but here it fits the atmosphere. Well worth a stop if in the area and craving a big slice of cheesy peezy... Pizza!

Ambiance and entertainment? Five stars. Steve's is a local institution, and has the reputation of being a great neighborhood pizza joint. It's covered in pen graffiti and is a no frills no nonsense type of place. Reminded me of Blondie's in Berkeley but without the crabby attitude. For the price of admission (a slice) you can get all the entertainment you could possibly want. We were there on a Friday night and the place was packed with a line going out the door. I mention this not because the customers were the entertainment, but that the workers were. On a busy night like this, Steve's Pizza operates like a well oiled machine, with the cashier, dough thrower, pizza makers, and box assemblers all working in tandem and creating a poetry all their own. You have to go and watch the rhythm of the place--it's mesmerizing. Movements are deft, economical, and work in symmetry. One guy is throwing dough and pounding out the next pizza crust, then ladling sauce while the guy next to him ducks under his arm to grab toppings. Then a quick thrust of the pizza peel into the oven to bake the next one, while the dough guy pounds out another round of dough. A quick check of the oven to make sure the pizza isn't burning, then back to tossing out toppings. All the while, the box guy is folding pizza boxes with a graceful economy of movement that would put any assembly line machine to shame. Truly it's a sight to see, when all the pistons are firing and the workers are going full steam ahead. Now for the pizza....it's ok. Just ok. The sauce is way too sweet for my taste (I am in agreement with other reviewers who find it so), the toppings are generous in terms of portions but just ok in terms of flavor. But the crust is very nice. Light, airy, crunchy, and good. The crust at the edges has that nice bubbled up crusty texture, but the crust in the middle of the pizza suffers from sogginess. I don't know if this is a function of the sauce (too sauce-y and watery?) or something else. At any rate, the pizza is just ok in terms of flavor and quality, the crust (along the outer perimeter) is quite nice, and the rest of the crust is so-so. Averaging all these elements: 5 stars for ambiance and entertainment, 2 stars for taste, 3 stars for quantity and price = average score of 3.

People have recommended this place so many times that I HAD to try it. I went there deciding to fall in love with Steve's pizza, but to my surprise I met a horror story. The first time I went, the place couldn't be more trashy than it already is. I get it, they are trying to be this "cool, graffiti" type of place, but instead it looks like scene of American Horror Story gone "I'm a teenager no one understands so let me just draw crap on the walls so I can get some attention from my parents" type of place. I decided never to set foot on this crappy location. Plus service was OK. Second time I ate Steve's Pizza was when someone at home ordered it, and I thought, why not? Let me give them another chance. No! The same lame pizza. That sweet sauce is way too sweet and it just doesn't do it for me.

Regina M.
Delisiously good as always, had a slice of cheese pizza, it was cheesy not too salty perfectly done pizza. Came here with friends around midnight, lots of ppl as usual & very friendly staff. Pizza came out quick, didn't have too wait too long. The only downside is if you order a pie it will take more that 45 minutes to get it.

Favorite pizza in the world-and I travel a lot. I have been going to Steve's since before I can remember and it is truly the best. I can eat a whole pie in one sitting...it is that good. Definitely try it if you are in Miami!! Also, I live 30 minutes away and will make the drive to pick up a pie in a heartbeat!

Acelyn B.
The first time I visited Steve's, I was not a fan (nor a Yelper, hence, no review). The second time, I was so satisfied! So let's talk about that. A large pizza happily fed five. Freshly made, hot out of the oven, with the melted cheese stretching from slice to slice. Mmmm. I'm not a fan of NY style pizza because I think crust is the best part. Gimme dat dough! So thin crispy crust is a no-go for me, which is how my pizza slice was the first time I visited. This time though, the crust was perfect. Not too thin, but I guess still considered NY style. Perhaps that's the difference. Order a whole pie & you'll get a slightly thicker crust.

Mark A.
Oh Steve's. Thank God for this little establishment. My friends & I were winding down from a night of libations in SoBe. Unfortunately, dietary limitations were in place as certain members of the party (me & Acelyn B) are abstaining from meat for Lent. Pizza was a resounding option for late night munchies. Steve's is a little bit of a drive away from the action, but open late to cater to your alcohol filled tummies. We ordered a large pizza; half cheese & half pepperoni for those who were able to indulge in their hearts' desires food-wise. It fed 5 people nicely & we all left quite happy. I would gladly return when I yearn for pizza again - I'm basically coming back in the very near future.

Les R.
This is the first time I tried this place despite having heard many accolades about it during my 39 years in SoFla...my opinion...overrated...pizza is okay.,.crust cracking in bottom means it was not kneaded enough...had a slice of regular cheese pizza...nice size of slice, though the sauce was not seasoned well.,,had to resort to mini packets of salt & pepper for flavor,,,No Shakers?!! Ordered a lasagna dinner and was presented with a pile of meat sauce, flavorless, over top of lasagna noodles...very little mozzarella and a lot of unseasoned ricotta down below...nice size portion, though...came with a side salad topped with ugly tomato slices..truly the side of three garlic rolls was the best part of my meal....I recommend you travel further south to East Side Pizza..so far they have the best in my opinion!

One of the best pizza joints this side on NYC. Been here multiple time and they never disappoint. Their sauce is exceptional and their slices are large and filling. There Parm Heros are also exceptional!!
(4)
Tomas B.
OK I've tried this place on several occasions and I truly do not understand the continued accolades about this place. I love a "JOINT" as much as the next guy and old fashioned type throwback place that delivers top quality quick food with a little character. Unfortunately that does not fit that mold. I have had on multiple occasions the Pizza both NY Style and their square Scicilian.. and have had their Chicken Parm as well. ALL OF them are OK period. Their pizza if ordering slices is stretched too thin and it falls apart when trying to fold. Their flavors are lacking that special something that well if you have had good North East pizza you know what I mean. Their Square pie is BLAH not enough sauce and just a doughy mess. Chicken parm weak break and nothing special.. You know I could live with all of the above except the other reason they get the Yellow X here is the place is absolutely filthy. Walked in tonight to empty tables with piles of uncleaned trays and empty cans all over the place. Floors showered with napkins and food. The outside is NO BETTER also unkept across the board. I don't even want to think about what the inside of the aged kitchen looks like. Bottom line is for all that love this place I SIMPLY DO NOT GET IT.

Emmy S.
I'm giving them 3 stars for being in Miami..... This pizza wouldn't do well in NY.... Pizza is a hand held food not meant to be eaten with a knife and fork...... I couldn't eat it without utensils it would fall apart...... The crust was good crispy the way I like it...... Sauce was a bit too sweet and I had to add seasonings to give it a pizza flavor (in NY I never add anything) Steve I wouldn't say your the best I've tried all the rest to know better.

Steve's is the local favorite-no doubt about it. Although the place is pretty grungy looking and small, and sometimes the pizzas take a while to come out (15 minutes is TOO long for my liking), the food is CONSISTENT which is important and more important yet-always delicious!
(4)
Samantha H.
The sauce is too sweet for my preference. Tonight, the dough was over worked and tough. The cheesy garlic bread is just a sub roll with melted cheese- bleh. I have been twice and the service was satisfactory both times. Not my favorite but not the worst I've had in this city either.

Jerry P.
I know this is yelp and it's mostly about the food but in this case, doesn't anyone notice how ghetto this place is? Waiting in line to pay, I noticed all the baked sandwich bread just sitting outside and I felt a little disgusted. This place is just filthy and borderline nasty. We opted to sit outside and the chairs and tables weren't even cleaned off. The chairs had a layer of soot on them. Furthermore, the busser who was the one cleaning after the guests, had on a pair of dropped cammo shorts with a plain white v-neck t-shirt. He looked so sloppy and totally like he was a day labor looking to work for food. How this operation gets away with being so dingy is beyond me. The owner should have more respect for his customers and clean this place up! Oh, and hopefully you don't need to use the restroom or you're in for a walk to the side of the building. Okay, I'm not stuck up an all, but come on! Get your act together. Oh and lastly, we ordered a large pie with half cheese and half sausage. Nothing out of the ordinary. Andiamo and Anthony's is still my all time favorite.

I would have given it 5 stars BUT this is what happened: I have been there for years, but I no longer live in MIA. So, yesterday, I went to pick up a small pizza I ordered the night before. I said I would pick it up at 11:15am on my way to the airport to FLL. I did not get there on time. I called from the car saying I was on my way. It was 11:40 when I arrived to pick it up. There was a person paying when I got to the counter. As soon as it was my turn the phone rang. FRANCISCO (who should be fired) answered the phone and instead of asking the person on the phone to wait a minute while I paid for my pizza, he took 5 full minutes to take an order as I was holding my credit card telling him that I was going to miss my flight. HIS ANSWER: "I am talking to a customer! You were late, its not my fault." Can you believe the guts on this guy? What am I if not a customer waiting on a brainless cashier who makes me wait when it was MY turn? I am a fan of this pizza. So much that I ordered it on my way to the airport. BUT, I also have a lot of experience with customer service and hospitality and it's just common sense that you take care of your customers with simple logic. If I'm there and the phone rings, you tell them to wait, not me! I was in a hurry and I waited 10 minutes to pick up a pizza I ordered the night before because the third-world minded cashier could not use his brain. He said he spoke Spanish but he is lousy at it by the way....

I'm really not a big fan of pizza so this review is probably a bit biased... but the pizza there is decent. Yes, the walls are all graffitied and there are also signs that say not to write on the walls, such a conundrum. Yes, sometimes you have to wait around for a table to open up. Yes, I would probably not recommend their restrooms. Yes, the crowd is very diverse and perhaps a tad questionable but you're going to a pizza shack, you shouldn't have high expectations, and that's what you get.

This is a staple of North Miami and its surrounding cities! It doesn't matter if you are coming by for a quick slice, grabbing food to go, or having that late night snack you can not go wrong with Steve's! The pizza is a thin NY style with a sweet marinara sauce that can be pilled with toppings. Also the stuffed shells and garlic rolls are some of the best I have had, which is interesting for the style of pizza place. I would always bring people here who are visiting from out of town because I do believe it is one of the best pizza places in Miami.

Had a large Steve's pizza as a take out order. The Steve's has pepperoni, sausage, onion and peppers. The tops were not evenly distributed. The pizza was not hot at all by the time we got home...max 5 minute drive from the shop. There are better pizza joints in the area.

I'm originally from NY so am constantly seeking good pizza. I've heard mixed reviews about this place so decided to give it a try. The pizza isn't bad though the red sauce is a little sweet. My favorite was the white pizza my wife ordered however, which is soooo not ny pizza. Although the food wasn't bad, the service was horrendous. I like hole in the wall places, but the ambience left a lot to be desired. It was kind of dark and dingy and the staff was super rude and rushed through your order. If I'm really hungry, ill probably order delivery and save myself the trip.

One of my favorite pizza places. The slices are huge, good and don't have as much grease as other places. The crust is nice and crispy but chewy at the same time. The chicken parm sub is delicious too. I love their red sauce!

Some of the best Pizza I've ever had (Yes, Including New York!). Crust is always crispy, cheese and sauce are always a perfect blend and it's consistently great tasting pizza. The only problem is, I've recently found out I'm gluten and lactose intolerant. So, here's how I feel about Steve's Pizza... Although I'm gonna get sick from the lactose in the cheese and the gluten from the flour, it's worth it and now I will treat myself to it every once in a while. It's that good!

Steve's has the best pizza in Miami. Tastes almost like NY pizza. They also make an amazing eggplant rolatini. The portions are also pretty sizable.

Love this place. Order and pay at the counter, seat yourself inside or out and wait for your name to be called. Slices are enormous so one will fill me up.. Prices are also more than fair and the place is open late. Yum!

Love the pizza. Gigantic slices, lots of cheese, what else could I want in a slicery. This place is an institution.

Jeniffer L.
Not too much my favorite! One of my friends absolutely LOVES this place but Im not too sure why. One being that I don't feel like the place is too clean and I also feel like I would get jacked sitting outside, so I only will be going this one time and never again (which is why I gave 3 stars). The pizza was alright, I love pizzas that are super cheesy and they did just that. I would recommend to order the pizza out if they get there and felt the way I did.

I've been going there since 2007. Last year during the super bowl I purchase the usual, XL cheese pie. I bit into the crust and found a large piece of led and broke off half my tooth. I called them and they were rude and I've became irate . I contact the better business bureau and a lawyer . I'm never going there again. I go to Muaro pizza on Hollywood blvd. closest to NYC style pizza . period!

If you call yourself a pizza-lover, you simply have to try Steve's. It's the closest thing to a traditional NY style pizzeria we have in Miami, and it measures up nicely. Open late, full of funky style and friendly staff, Steve's is the hole-in-the-wall, consistent pizza place you hit with your friends when you need a solid slice and a cold beer. I used to die for the sausage, which is served in long, spicy slices. The garlic knots are traditional: greasy, buttery, and extra garlicy. I love a plain cheese slice nowadays, and also enjoy a mushroom/tomato every now and then. A whole pie is super big and freshly made. Steve's sweet, special sauce is thinly spread across the thin crust and the cheese is amply strewn atop. It's a perfectly simple combo. It's cheap, dirty, and awesome. Just go.

So when I first walked into this place I felt like I was immediately going to love it. It reminded me of all the trashy restaurants I used to go to in Gainesville, which is a good thing. We stepped up to the counter and ordered a handful of things...garlic rolls, wings, and an eggplant parm pizza. Then we sat down and waited....and waited. First of all, it seems that you have to pay attention when they yell your name for you to pick up your order. Which wouldn't be so bad if your order didn't come out in nonsensical pieces. So what was the problem? -Timing. Everything took forever to come out. Or almost everything. By the time we had all of our food at least a half hour had passed. -Order. I believe we got the wings first, pizza quite a while later, and garlic bread maybe a half hour after we ordered them (dead last). If I order an appetizer like wings, and definitely something easy like garlic bread, I expect it to come out before my meal. Who wants to eat garlic bread as a dessert? By the time it finally came out we were completely done eating our pizza. -Food. After all that waiting around for garlic bread it wasn't great and I would definitely AVOID THE WINGS. These just had buffalo sauce thrown on them, nothing special and borderline kind of gross. It's sad because our pizza was fantastic (the sweet sauce is amazing!), but I can't really imagine myself coming back to a place that is so poorly run again. Maybe they do a better job with take-out? Although based on my experience, I wouldn't hold my breath.

I was actually shocked how good the pizza was - my pizza standards are quite high, being from NY : ) Place is small and a bit grungy, but sitting outside was nice. Come for the food, not the ambiance

The first time I ate at Steve's I got their Margherita, or whatever they decide to call it, and it was pretty dreadful. The crust was totally soggy and everything just slid off. I generally prefer to eat my pizza with my hands over a knife and fork, and that's pretty difficult at Steve's. The other day, I decided to try it again to see if that first visit was a fluke, since this place is pretty consistently heralded. Nope, still awful. I ordered a large pie with mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions, and totally drenched yet again. The sauce is also way too sweet. I definitely prefer Evio's or Frankie's for pizza in this area.

Steve's is what Pizza is all about. THE best pizza in Miami! A gazillion toppings, CONSISTENTLY Delicious Pizza and food, great service and ambience and open late as hell for those that prefer the rule of the Moon to its hectic counterpart. I've been coming here for over 20yrs, which is weird being 21 and all (...just go with it!) lol, and NEVER a bad experience. You've had the rest, now try the Best! That's a slogan they truly live up to! What are you waiting for?! Get in your car an come on over!!!

Despite the long line, it's definitely worth it. The pizza here is amazing! The wings aren't worth the money, buy an extra pizza with that extra money! The place itself is very small, and usually packed.

Pizza is good and the historic value of the restaurant helps it's business, but also hurts our wallets. For what you pay for a box, you hope that the taste would be worth it, but it leaves you disappointed.

In my neck of the woods, being a night owl can be a pain considering the limited amount of options along Biscayne north of 75th. A late night vagrant to US-1 Fitness, I always found the lines at Steve's long, I just had to try 'em out. My first visit, I was impressed with the setup. Baptized in graffiti, slapped with bumper stickers, had a cool vibe that reminded me of places I'd frequent back home in Chicago. Sadly, the pizza wasn't close to what I expect being from the food town Chicago is. It's crunchier than it is doughy. And while crunchy isn't a bad thing, it is when the overall product just seems lacking, in something. However, with late night hours, and hot food I could really care less. It kept my stomach from eating itself, so it sufficed. Now I've never seen a slow moment to and from the gym. So one night I arrive, unknowingly, 5 minutes before closing. You wouldn't have guessed so because the restaurant was still packed and food continued to be shuffled out. The huge wads of money the cashier was counting tipped me off. She insisted I order, despite my offer to patronize Denny's next door. It really wouldn't have bothered me considering I work in service so I understand. My option was limited to two cheese slices. Sold. I get my food, I sit down to enjoy my meal, waiting for it to cool. Now remember, she insisted I eat here, and seemed sincere enough that I wouldn't be in the way. I didn't even begin to bite into my meal and the lights go off. Everyone paraded out the door. But I pulled out the Rosa Parks card and continued to remain seated. As my food cooled I ate in the dark, a la Helen Keller; the only light available, was shafting from behind the pizza counter where cooks stood gunning cigarettes and flicking their ashes over the prep area where only moments before sat my pizza. The whole lack of light fiasco really didn't deter me from returning, but the whole confetti of cigarette ash episode has turned a repeat customer into one that's back to Denny's for any late night eats in this neglected quarter of the city.

I don't think that I've ever seen such a place as polarizing as Steve's Pizza. People either: 1) Think that the pizza here is amazing and Steve's is a diamond in the rough or 2) Think that Steve's is the most disgusting pizza ever had and this place is a dump Well I can honestly say that I am a fan of the pizza at Steve's but it definitely is kind of a dump. I think the reason that everyone is so divided has to do with the pizza sauce. Steve's sauce is a pretty sweet tomato sauce which is kind of rare for a pizza sauce. Either you love the sweet sauce or it makes you gag in disgust. I would recommend delivery since Steve's is a small venue. If it is packed forget about parking and finding a place to sit - plus it is a dump. Also customer service is definitely not one of Steve's strengths but the pizza is damn good. I prefer the Steve's Special which is pepperoni, sausage, meatball, green pepper, onion, mushroom, and anchovy on request. It is absolutely packed with ingredients - kind of reminds me of a Casola's pizza although not as extreme. Call for delivery, they are open late. The delivery is a little slow, but it is definitely worth the wait!

All right, so I've been hearing all the hype about this place so it was high time this Pizza lover tried Steve's! I went in on a weekday and ordered my two favorites, sausage pizza and a chicken parm sub/hero/hogie, whatever you call it depending on your home town. I thought the chicken parm was acceptable as well as the pizza, but unfortunately their tomato sauce has way too much sugar in it for my taste. I feel there was just too much of the sweet stuff on both items. I wish all these type places would season their bread crumbs and not drown out their chicken with an abundance of sauce on the chicken parm. It seems that I just can't find a good chicken parm anywhere? As for pizza, Steve's is no Kings County Pizza in Aventura on Dixie, or better yet, Rice and Dough off Broward Bl. In Ft. Lauderdale. They are both better NY style pizza.

Came here for a late night meal, and Steve's Pizza definitely hit the spot. It's about time I found a go to spot for that late night craving. Cheap reasonable prices, extremely large slices, and toppings that were literally piled on. Let's not forget that this pizza tasted great. Pretty much the perfect spot for what you want for a quick bite. I do drop the rating down because of the decor, which is a bit less desired for. There is graffiti art everywhere and random stickers. Steve's might be going with that underground NYC street theme to give it that authentic feeling. I personally like feeling that I'm eating at a clean establishment. At least I can see my food being made in front of me, so that's somewhat comforting.

Steve Pizza has been the icon of North Miami for centuries. I've been coming to this pizzeria for 20 years, and I still enjoy it. The neighborhood totally changed except this place. An Iconique place for North Miami and still doing well. They are mostly famous for their pizza, but their menu consists of a mixture of good food. Every weekend this place is packed from 10:00 PM until 3:00 AM. It is inexpensive, good quality and fresh ingredients. The service is good and their employee seems to enjoy their task. If the food network happens to read my review, I want to welcome them to the best pizzeria in North Miami.

I really wanted to like this place but I can't. After 3 tries at steves pizza, I'm giving up on them. After a long day out with the kids, I didn't have it in me to make dinner, so we decided to treat the kids to pizza. We live literally 2 blocks from the shop and it took over an hour to arrive. I should of walked my butt over there and saved the tip money. Once it finally arrived though, the pie was super under cooked even though we asked specifically for extra crispy. Why was it almost raw if it was so late?? And what's the deal with the pepperoni? It tastes like the kind you get on frozen pizzas from the store lol Sorry guys! I tried and each time was almost the same problems. I'm glad others have good luck, but I guess steves is not meant to be our go to pizza spot. Sucks cus it so close too :/

I've always gone here with my family. At first I hated their pizza, the sauce was too sweet and runny that it made the pizza yucky and the slice soggy (nasty!). But then I was recommend to try less sauce, extra crispy, cheese only. Now I eat there every Friday sometimes the entire weekend. But one thing I still dislike is there sauce. It's too sweet for me, other than that thumbs up from me :)

This place is a total DIVE. I mean, the kind of dive that's stuck in something of a time warp. Walking in is like going back in time. And I absolutely LOVE that. I first heard about Steve's about two years ago, and it was the subject of much intrigue whenever I drove by it on Biscayne. So, on a very rough Sunday morning a few Sundays back, I went to Steve's for something that might help soak up all the alcohol in my stomach. Surely, Steve's could provide a much needed respite from my hangover. Things, however, didn't start off all that well. After ordering at the counter (Steve's is one of those places that doesn't really have waiters/waitresses: everything is ordered at the counter), I sat in my throwback booth to take in the landscape, which was fun. For a while. Sitting, looking around and eying layer upon layer of old posters and magic marker, the wait was disconcerting considering how much I'd looked forward to this pizza. This is one of my points of derision: the wait was too long, and that the food came out piecemeal was not ideal. It just made the wait seem worse. And, furthermore, IF I'm going to wait a long time, I should be able to assume that all of my food is coming. This was not the case. The pizza came first. Eggplant. (Side note: the eggplant was breaded and fried, which I kind of dug.) The pizza very quickly did away with some of my dissatisfaction. Not coal-fired like so many other pizza places sprouting in the South Florida food scene, it was an exercise in throwback, classicist pizza-making. Then came more dissatisfaction as I realized the unsettling reality that the "starters" (wings and garlic bread) had yet to arrive. When the wings finally came out, they weren't so much tossed in hot sauce as just drizzled in it, which I found most confusing. I mean, if that's how you're going to do it, then just sell the wings "naked" and provide a cup of sauce for dipping. At least that way, I can somewhat control my hot sauce distribution instead of getting really inconsistent bites. I know how ridiculous I sound, but I'm a guy who loves his wings, and it was unsettling to see them somewhat poorly executed. The garlic bread came out last (a sort of garlicky dessert), and though it was good, it's total awkward delivery in the course of our meal kind of ruined it a bit. Let me be clear: as far as pizza is concerned, Steve's offers a VERY good pie, and I would totally patronize this place again. Next time, though, I'll probably just call in an order for pick-up and save myself from the guessing game and lack of attentive service I encountered.

Pizza slice is ok to good. Open late and the closes slice to a NYC style slice. My main issue is that the sauce is sweet. This is a very over powering taste and is not balanced with the cheese, sauce and dough ratio. I think the sauce may be canned, not sure. Needs work. Overall it hits the spot when your hungry. The few bucks you spend won't hurt you.

Monica M.
Came here on an impromptu late-night run for food. I remember Steve's Pizza being a lot greasier; greasier to the point the little pepperoni slices would cook into little cups and there would be grease in these little cups. Now there's no grease and the pepperonis are scarce. Also, $5 for a beer is RIDICULOUS!!!!! Get it together Steve's!!!

Steven M.
Best pizza in Miami and the closest you'll find to NY style. Good location right on Biscayne blvd makes it easy to stop by for a quick slice. The inside looks like a typical old school pizza joint. Graffiti on everything, old video games, and crusty $.25 candy machines add to the ambiance. You should check them out.

As a former resident of the Big Apple myself, I know GOOD pizza. When we moved back to Miami we asked everyone we knew, what's the closest thing to NYC style pizza in south florida? And everyone gave us the same answer: Steves Pizza! Luckily, I work about 10 min away from Steve's, so the wife and I headed out to try it one afternoon. Pros: Pizza really is very good! It had the most authentic "new york" style taste of any other pizza I had tried in Miami. Prices were very affordable. We liked it! Cons: It still wasn't to the level of great NYC style pizza, and even tho it had the most "new york" feel to it, I've had better pizza elsewhere in Miami! Casolas is better (yes it isn't really NYC style pizza, but is better than this place!) and Mario the Baker is also better (and in a nicer neighborhood). The place is kind of a dump. I guess thats part of its "charm" but I dunno... So all in all this is a pretty cool place if you want NYC-esque style Pizza that doesn't quite live up to Lombardi's or Grimaldi's. If you're in the hood, stop on in for one of their HUGE slices. Just don't expect to have your socks knocked off.

I would give ZERO stars if I could for this dump! New York style pizza? Not even remotely close!!! The pizza here was worse than a frozen pizza you can buy in a grocery store! Poor quality cheese & toppings and the crust was like tasteless cardboard. Even after ordering 2 pizzas thin & crispy, they were both made as thick as a pan pizza. TOTALLY DISGUSTING!!!!!! We only gave this place a try because our spot, Kings County Pizza was closed for an emergency repair. If you want REAL AUTHENTIC NEW YORK PIZZA, KINGS COUNTY IN AVENTURA/N. MIAMI BEACH IS THE REAL DEAL!

Okay, so I'm totally ashamed of the beast I unleashed in this place in front of my guy friend... ((( horrified ))) So I had just flown in from Baltimore (my current home location) - and I was starving - eat a small pony STARVING! So my friend suggests pizza - I'm originally from North Jersey where real Italians were everywhere and the pizza in my home town, my grandma's neighborhood, and in New York can NOT be beat - so I was less than excited. Enter to Steve's - this pizza was amazing. I swear it took me back 20 years to eating Continental Pizza on Bergenline Ave in Union City, NJ where I still remember the super nice Italian guy that would give you gi-normous slices for $1, and would spin the pizza dough extra extravagant just so me and every other kid in the shop could stare in awe... sigh.... ANYWAY - the slices were DELISH!!! I ate mine, I had a bunch of the pepperoni off of my friend's slice (because they give pepperoni quite liberally here)) and then the garlic knots ((gasps)) - OMG!I I never cared for them - but THESE were amazing! I ate at least 4 and that was before I ate my slice... (((hangs head in shame))) Yea, so by the time I cleared all the carbs off the table my friend was staring at me quite stunned.... In conclusion - EAT AT STEVE'S! just not in front of someone that is going to be shocked at your ability to consume! :)

The place is awesome! Top NY style in Miami. Pretty much you can't go wrong with a slice of cheese pizza or a pepperoni. I think what makes this place special is the tomato sauce they use. It's a little sweet which makes it different than the rest of NY slices in Miami. Check it ou!

It took me a long time to go to Steve's. I'm a Mario the Baker kind of girl. I had heard so many good things from people, so I made a stop for some pizza. The parking lot was packed. This heightened my anticipation for an amazing slice. I walked in and saw graffiti all over the boots, and photos stapled to the wall. I was really liking this place. It was laid back, and felt like a neighborhood gem. The employees were friendly, prices were super reasonable, and the pizza came out quickly. ...but my pizza was mediocre at best. I'm not a fan of the sauce. There was too much of it, and it was too much like a paste. It was also a little sweeter than I like for a pizza sauce. I like the vibe, so I'll probably give Steve's another shot, but I'll go for a sub or something other than pizza. I'll stick to Mario's when I've got a craving for that.

No frills, delicious, simple amazing pizza. i would rather have steve's than any chain pizza any day of the week. The slices are huge and the toppings are always fresh!. My usual is either Cheese w/ tomato slices or Pepperoni & an arizona raspberry tea :) try this place! u wont be disappointed. their stromboli's and garlic knots are also primo :D

Open extremely late, this little shack-like building is a great place to experience for delicious pizza. Sold by the slice, as well as the pie, it's the easiest way to grab a quick, affordable pizza. You better hope there is a short line and then somewhere to sit. And if there is, it's worth it. You have the option of sitting in their tiny dining room where you can watch the people run in and out and the cooks yell out orders. Or you can sit in the small patio area and watch the cars go by on the highway - Just cross your fingers it doesn't rain. The slices are huge, the crust is soft and chewy but crisp on the outside and the sauce is perfectly sweet. The cheese is mouthwatering and stringy as well. Take note that I'm very simple when it comes to my pizza - I like just simple cheese, and it is so good. But if you like toppings, boy do they have them. If you ask for any type of topping they pile it on there like it's a second meal. Absolutely worth going to, forget about those silly chain pizza restaurants. Come here and you'll see what you're missing. I like the way that you order, find a seat and patiently wait on your pizza to be done. It has always been fresh and promptly delivered. I wish there were free refills, since I'm sure they can't pack an extreme number of people into their dining room and patio to have that many refill demands (I'm sure most orders are take-out).

Great staff, the antipasto was excellent, simple, and tasty. The pizza was really sweet, meaning a load of sugar in both the sauce and the crust. This was kind of a turnoff, and ruined the pizza. Overall I don't see why it was to highly rated. The cashier girls are very nice and fun. Overall I have had better in Miami, but I'm by no means a Miami pizza pro (yet)!

I've eaten alot of pizza and I haven't had better pizza in Miami anywhere. The sauce is sweet and great. Prices are fair and inside is usually full. I always get cheese no need for toppings simple is best here. Also garlic rolls are great and the baked ziti was good. Haven't tried anything else. Steves is open late so it's usually a great option late night.

There's a great little pizza place just off of Biscayne Boulevard near the Home Depot in North Miami. Steve's Pizza is one of our local hidden gems over in North Miami. They're open late, the staff is down to earth, their beers are always cold and their pizzas are delicious (ask for extra tomato sauce, you'll be glad you did). The place is small and it gets packed pretty easily, so I advise that you to order ahead and take-out. However, the place attracts a diverse crowd which (to me) speaks to the quality of their pizzas. I like lots of toppings and appreciate the way the cooks at Steve's Pizza never skimp. By the way, if you like garlic rolls prepare yourself, this place has a delicious recipe. Prices are reasonable for this NY style pizza place which has an atmosphere all its own. Thanks Steve, for all the delicious pies over the years.

My Boyf and I were in the mood for some pizza so came on yelp to see what was out there. We saw Steve's pizza was open till late so we decided to give it a try since the pizza looked amazing. When we get they're we make the line to order, when it's our turn the cashier asked me in a rude tone what I wanted I told her my order and later tells me," what soda do you want?" I kindly tell her," let me have a can coke please and a bottle of water" to which she replied they're the same price you know" with a very rude attitude. The pizza was nothing major the sauce wasn't great and the environment was very uncomfortable. I'm 22 and my Boyf 26 and just being there I felt completely out of place. Teenagers being rude everywhere. Will not eat here AGAIN!!!! Biggest mistake. And to top it off when we parked the car in they're parking lot I see all the cooks outside just smoking and laughing and the manager about to cry because they obviously don't take her seriously. I felt like it was an episode of kitchen nightmare. No thank you.

What the hell???????? back in the days Steve pizza was beez knees, I would stop by at least 3-4 times a month. Well, after a 2 year hiatus, I was back in North Miami, with a carving for pizza. Had I know the crap this place was serving I would have just ordered from Papa John's. I order a large pizza with the works plus anchovies. The anchovies and pizza sauce tasted rancid. I was so pissed I end up throwing the pizza in the garbage. Never ever will I step foot in this counterfeit pizza place.

Great pizzas, single slices are very generous averaging a quarter a pizza. Get the single slices over a whole pie. The singles usually are crunchier and the whole pies are not as firm and are a completely different experience. The inside with the graffiti is a nice touch. The atmosphere is chill so long as you beat the party animals that occasionally swarm the place from 11-2am.

I freaking love this place and look forward to getting a slice whenever I'm in the area (which I wish was more often just for the sake of Steve's). The people that work here are great and have a great sense a humor. To whoever made my friends and me a pizza with a pepperoni penis on it for our friend's birthday, you rock.

Miami's best slice. I've been to a million of them. For the price, the quality is top notch and the flavor is exceptional. I'll eat gourmet pizza, but I prefer this. Two things to note: parking lot is small and floods when it rains. Also, not a ton of seating inside, so you may want to avoid going at high traffic times.

The pizza is now horrible. What happened? I am very upset. The crust was burnt/dry, the sauce was unevenly distributed, the cheese was overcooked and unevenly applied, the service sucked. Too bad.

It's just plain good. We've been referring to this place as "The Redneck Pizza Place" for a long, long time. I think that was because they always had either country music or hard rock music playing. The pizza is consistently good. It's one of those places where you tend to look the other way when it comes to cleanliness and hygiene. It's just not a place that you'd expect to be immaculate. As a matter of fact, it's kinda down and dirty. So, unless you have a real emergency, I'd say avoid the (outdoor access) bathrooms. One time, we ordered chicken and eggplant parmesan. Let me just advise you now - stick with the pizza. You can't go wrong. It's always good. I don't know why we are are always pinching the basil plants without letting them know, because I've seen so many others doing to same thing. I imagine if everyone did it, those plants would be rather dead. But, it's such a treat to have some fresh basil on your pizza. They have a whole tray of condiments - dried oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper packets, parmesan cheese and, of course, the hot pepper flakes. You take them all to your table and douse everything with all the above and then return them to their trays or someone will inevitably come to your table to ask for them. It's a cute little fun place to eat pizza. They seem to be doing a bang-up delivery and pick-up business. I highly recommend it over any of those chain pizzas.

Been going to Steve's for a long while. It's a North Miami institution. Very good NY style pizza and they are open late. Not the greatest area of North Miami, so I don't frequent the place very late these days, but it's great for picking up on the way home from somewhere. Also good place to stop by on a Saturday afternoon for a quick slice and a beer. They also do a really nice eggplant parm pizza, which is really good and a little unusual.

I can't belive what I'm reading. Have you guys tried Piccolo Pizza & More., or pretty much anything in NY? ? If you have, you wouldn't call this the best....or even close to great. It's good, it's definitely not the best. It's a good after-party place. It's great for hanging out and people watching. Students write all over the furniture, which I get a kick out of reading :) If you go with a group, avoid slices and go with a whole pizza, because they don't cook the pepperoni long enough on slices. It's super greasy. Don't order meat lovers, because they literally take a handful or two of meat and pile it onto the pizza. Kinda gross.

The closest to NY pizza right off Biscayne. I had a pepperoni slice and it was mighty scrumptious. The crust, cheese, sauce, & pepperoni were perfect for each other! They also have great garlic buns, which seems to be a popular item. If you do get them make sure you have a mint lol or you can be silly and get mighty close to people when you talk to them hehe ;) Another yummy item they have is a huge parmessan cheese sub....if you are wicked hungry for something other than pizza this is the sub to get!

Ahhhh Steve's Pizza. Anytime I hear that name I get nostalgic. Anyone who grew up in Miami has heard of this landmark. It's a landmark because anytime I give directions around NMB I usually mention Steve's one way or another. I remember when I first had friends old enough to drive... many nights ended with a slice at Steve's. It's funny because I don't like anything sweet but I love their tomato sauce tomato sauce for that very reason - go figure. And to top it off they're open till 3AM during the week and 4AM on the weekends, so really does it get any better than that? Steve's is pretty much the only late night food spot in North Miami Beach (if that's changed please let me know). That being said you can almost guarantee that the place will be swarmed with high school kids. So unless your girl is 18 or into writing graffiti this probably isn't the place to go on a date. Yes they allow you to tag almost anything. The guys behind the counter can be a little impatient when they call your name and you don't answer but the line's usually going out the door so it's understandable. NOTE: You ARE allowed to park in the home depot parking!! Oh, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, THEY HAVE PERONI. Woot Woot!!

I remember skipping school to go eat at steves, and this was back in 1990. Ive never had a bad slice here. Everything is delicious. Their pies are thin crust and the sauce is sweet. The toppings are very generous. I dont agree with the 50cent refills but whatchagonnado. Budget cuts i guess. I hope i dont sound cheap, but think its distasteful. Just me i guess. I would like to dedicate this review to my friend Larry Bennett. Rest in peace Larry. You loved Steves! If you go youll find his picture above the register to the left. The owners have kept the oldschool feel which makes this place so comfortable. The place is small but the flavor is huge! Get the antipasto salad a slice and the garlic rolls!! Youll never b the same!!!

I've been coming here off and on for years depending on what part of town I am working or living in. Lately it's been very often. You can't go wrong with stopping in and grabbing a slice if you like NY style pizza piled high with ingredients at a good price. BUT . .. . the reason this place is barely 3 stars and not more is that it is a dive in not that cool divey way like in NY or Berkeley way but in that dirty Florida way. The filthy bathroom is out back like a gas station. Secondly, if you order delivery and you like anchovies - fowgetabowdet. I ask, I plead, I beg for anchovies. I repeat myself I ask them to repeat it back. I ask their name, I tell them thank you for making sure my Steve's special has anchovies. Guess what. That's right. It comes without anchovies. It's like I am being punked by the place. Come to think about it I'm done with this place for awhile. I asked for extra anchovies last time in since they had forgotten them the last 3 times and they charged me extra. Rude. Not so much that as much lack of cleanliness.

AAAAA shite...I forgot the garlic rolls and am kicking myself soundly in my mental arse. I loved the pizza crust ....that was all that was about all that was left after my son scarfed down two HUGE cheese slices with olives and a soda for close to $8. He says we have to go there once a week at least. Bottles of draft Guinness and Newcastle Brown Ale for $3.00 FTW!!! Lots of history carved and inked with care into the booths, this place will remind you of your college days. But the booths are small so don't go with a gang of 6 and expect to get sitting together (unless you pull up tables together outside). Parking lot was FULL to capacity (and then some) at about 9p.m. on a Sat. Nite but there is an abundance of parking across the lane at Home Depot. Call it in to go and sit outside. They have quite an extensive menu of other Italian style foods and your usual pizzeria grub - Spaghetti, Ziti, Subs, Italian Dinners (parmigiana type stuff)...oh and did I mention the garlic rolls??? Because I forgot to mention them when I was ordering...sheesh.

For me, this is a go-to pizza place when i want my favorite slice. The ingredients are fresh, the slices are bigger than your head, and the sauce has a slight sweetness to it that i don't really taste anywhere else. I have been a patron to here for quite a many years and often see photographs of friends and acquaintances riddled on the wall. You can sit inside or out and the pizza always gets to you hot. The bottom line is this, i would give Pizza Rustica a 4 star rating and Steve's Pizza in north miami a 5. I'm also pretty sure they have won a bunch of awards for having above average pizza. Did i mention they grow the herbs they use in the restaurant? Another awesome feature is that they serve good beer, killians, new castle, and red stripe (HOOORAY BEER) to name a few. --open to 4ish am on some nights. My favorite is a large slice with fresh jalapeños , canadian bacon or pepperoni, and extra cheese. When i am feeling extra 'stumbly' i like to mix it up a bit and throw a flavor fiesta into the mix with some juicy piña triangles for that extra je-ne-se-qua. Enjoy and happy eating!

Remarkably, and wonderfully unexpected decor and pizza. Wow. I had thought about going to Steve's Pizza for about a year now, but judging from the outside I thought it looked a little sterile and dull, and sort of too family oriented for me. I was so wrong! I went inside, and there are wooden booths, little plants, totally a chill 1990s beachside, teenage, hacky-sack playing, dare I say...stoner vibe. It was great! Flashback to my teens. They even played Nirvana and King Missile while I was there. I expect to hear Blind Melon and STP in the future. haha :) As for the pizza: Huge slices, and pretty darn good. I ordered a slice of the veggie pizza and it's basically an entire salad with super fresh veggies on top of the pizza. yum. Yes, this place is good.

Order the cheese slice- you will fall in love with Steve's. I love this place and am always happy when I leave. The best pizza in Miami.

I would venture to say this is the best pizza sauce in miami. All ingredients are fresh and the pizza is tossed and made right in front of you. Small shack looking place with graffiti but not a lot of places come close to the taste.

Macielle B.
Steve's Pizza is as unbelievably close to New York pizza as I've found since moving here. I take pizza very seriously lol. Their thin crust is a dream, the sauce is to die for and everyone is so nice, the boyfriend and I each had a slice of pepperoni extra cheese with a Yuengling and Garlic rolls. The rolls were so soft fresh out the oven with the delicious fresh garlic they always have. It's small so most likely you'll be sitting outside but always bring a marker to tag up a space, leave your mark!

Travis B.
I grew up on this pizzeria, its the diamond in the rough on US1 and N. Miami. Its been my favorite pizza place for like 18 years and I still frequent down Steve's from northern Lauderdale just to have a slice and say whats up to Miguel (their best pizza tosser) A slice and a large draft beer is just under $5, the service is fast and the hours are great. The graffiti on the walls and tables gives this place its character and gives it the whole in the wall feeling that makes this place so great. The late night hours has made this place the ultimate last stop on a long night of drinking.

BEWARE, I Say BEWARE, Stopped by after not eating here in years. Stromboli used be great, so we thought we'd order some. Well, Phoned to pre order and a nice guy pleasantly answered the phone asked if we couls hold. Then the down hill started and ended in one of our worst customer service , horrible food stories of ALL TIME!!! A girl comes back on the line, And from the stat was RUDE, IMPATIENT, AND had ZERO PHONE ETIQUETTE! We ordered the Stromboli and stopped in tho pick it up. The same extremely RUDE girl was busy picking at her various facial piercings and when I offered my credit card she said "visa master card only" in a condescending attitude like I'm supposed to know your crappy little business doesnt accept one of the worlds most used credit cards. Anyhow, I placed my visa on the counter and she looked at it like I did something wrong? I said thats my visa , She said "you could have handed it to me"! I told her, Yup, just like on the phone, rude, unhelpful, no courtesy. Instead of using common sense to try to redeem the situation she blurts out "you guys are the only ones complaining about me" Again , wow, So I guess we don't count? We then asked for a manager and she says " no manager" How convenient! We then asked another worker for the manager and he chuckled and said "we're all managers" then he laughed some more. Now the food. We added some slices to the Stromboli and whata mistake!!! Tasted like cardboard, Was not hot , and we threw it away half eaten. Stromboli was marginal, nothing like years past. Facilities are old, run down, and do not ask for the restrooms. They are out back and horrendous!!! Urine all over, smells like hell. I was very cautious not to touch ANYTHING in this outhouse. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID!!!

I'm from Brooklyn so I know good pizza. Steve's Pizza is the only local pizza I approve of. The sauce is sweet and many people don't like it but I think it's good anyway. Try their homemade meatballs! Their problem is consistency. Sometimes the slices are perfect and crispy. Sometimes they are undercooked and fall apart. I only stop by for lunch when they're not busy because you can wait 30+ minutes for your slice after you have ordered and paid. The problem is management (lack of). The counter girls are nice but the pizza guys are on their own!

Asami S.
People love Steve's because of the sweet sauce. I will admit the sauce is unique and offers some relief from tomato sauce that can be a bit too tart or tangy. However, it can be a bit overbearing at times. The pizza is a bit greasy for my taste and because the crust is so thin, it can make the pizza go soggy very fast. I also find the crust to often be a bit white for my personal taste. Another appeal that Steve's pizza has is that it is open late. If that plus soft, thin, white crust, high grease content, and a sweet tasting sauce is important to you then you might find the pizza to be quite palatable. I personally could live without it.

New Yorkers LOVE to compare everything in Miami to...well, New York. No offense to my New Yorker friends out there but the center of the Universe does not revolve around the Yankees and NY style pizza. (Just sayin') I've never been to New York or had an authentic New York pizza (hold the NY rat droppings) so I couldn't compare anything to Steve's Pizza however, I am going to have to take the New Yorkers' side on this one....Steve's Pizza is the second worst thing I have ever put in my mouth. (Her name was "Two-Ton Tammy" from Cedar Rapids, Iowa) I've read every single review for Steve's and it has been described as "the greatest pizza ever made" to "s**t on a shingle" on Yelp. (I disagree with both but do tend to lean towards the latter) Now anyone who knows Steve's location in proximity to Johnson & Wales and Barry University along with their late night hours should figure out pretty fast that Steve's caters to the late night college crowd. And if you know anything about these two prestigious institutions, you would know that the term "higher learning" takes on a whole different meaning. Look, basically what I'm trying to get at is that you can't take the word of someone who had the munchies when they consumed Steve's Pizza. It's the equivalent of wearing beer goggles at a Janet Reno look-a-like contest!! (That's how I met Tammy) In all seriousness, this place is just plain bad. The pizza is lousy and tasteless, the inside could be cleaner (although I do dig the graffiti and photos) and I have always found the dudes behind the counter to be worse than rude....self righteous and arrogant. It's to the point to where I stopped coming into Steve's and I live right across the street, work late hours and love beer and pizza. If you don't believe me, try this little test next time you wind up there: Order your pizza and when they call your name to pick it up at the counter, don't answer or go up there right away....give it nine or ten seconds....watch what happens next. So in conclusion: Lousy pizza + Lousy treatment = 1 Star. (Zero stars is currently not an option on Yelp)

One caveat... I''ve never eaten here without sporting a slight buzz. That being said, I love Steve's! We always end up here when the happy hour at Billy's comes to an end, which is to say after midnight. Despite the late hour, the crowd always resembles a cross section of the general North Miami population: an older cuban couple, some college kids from Barry or JWU, and a few friends looking to round out their night out with some good grub. The pizza comes out crispy and bubbling and topped generously. It is the embodiment of a good-old Italian-American, NY style pie. It's not coal fired, or bright and fresh the way Andiamo's makes pizza, but it is seriously good. Grab a friend, a cold Yuengling, and a hot slice and I promise you will not be disappointed.

I wish there was a "NO STAR" rating so I can rate this place properly. 1st thing is the customer service which is basically doesn't exist. This place always has a rude girl behind the counter that has the worst phone skills and people skills. Yes this place is a landmark but not sure what is the buzz is about. I have been a resident of North Miami for 12 years and have tried this place numerous times both for personal consumption and office lunches. Twice we ordered 10 pies for work but my co-workers got sick because the dough was raw. We should have filed legal action on the food quality but didn't bother cause we simply will not order from this establishment anymore. I gave this place another shot today and was disappointed by the lack of courtesy of order taker. I was going to order 16 pies for my building maintenance but got turned off by the rudeness. I went to Anthony's Pizza instead and thank god..cause I never felt so welcomed and Anthony's ingredients are far superior!

I hate having to decide between the regular Italian pizza and the Sicilian. The regular is a huge slice, but the Sicilian is so damn good. If you like pizza with a sweet sauce, this is the best pizza around. The slices are huge and the toppings at fresh and bountiful. It does get busy with locals... But always worth the wait.

Petunia L.
yeah, this place the only thing that can be good is how cheap it is.. The pizza sauce is sweet which makes the pizza taste pretty bad. The place is also very small.

Are you looking for a hard-core pizza dive? This is a no-frills pizza place. I loved it. For me, I loved this place. 1) Pizza made fresh by a sweaty guy, 2) Pizza is hot and fresh, 3) Sauce is rich, thick, and spice-filled 4) Toppings are fresh and tasty!

Overrated is an understatement. I've heard of Steve's Pizza and was in the area so I ordered a large Pizza and garlic rolls to go which she said it would take about 20 minutes. I went over to the Home Depot and when I got back in about 30 minutes they where calling my name, that's sill timely. I went back to my Aunt's home in the Miami Shores which is about 15 minutes away. We sat down, opened up the box, the pizza looked great until we tried to serve it. Picked it up and was limp like a celery stalk that has been in the refrigerator for two months. The Pizza dough wasn't tasty and was way under baked, tasted very doughy. But the toppings were good and fresh but it takes the whole process of everything being executed together. And for the garlic rolls....not good unless you like a bunch of rolls stuck together with garlic and oil at the bottom the bag. I guess there's a lot of tourist in that area because to me it's a one time disappointment, I'll never return. The people were nice and polite and the place could use a good cleaning. I here the place was an institution at one time, well maybe in the old days but not now. The institution went south. As for an institution in the old days that would be... Marcella's on 13886 West Dixie Highway, Miami, Florida Now that's what you call an institution.

Sorry, and i don't wamt to sound like an obnoxious New Yorker but Steves Pizza would be a very Ordinary Fly By kinda Pizza joint in NYC. And does not compete with the finer Pizza Places on Long Island ( Colosseo, Branchinellis, Emilios,) just to name a few. Cool atmosphere and good service and good Pizza. I will go again..

Steve's Pizza can you deliver to PA? I recently found a pizza place that is kinda close to what you have there but not the same :( I miss you guys so much and I am planning my vacation to Miami ( I used to live right on Biscayne Blvd.) and I am going to visit your pizza shop EVERY SINGLE DAY atleast 1 time! I love this pizza so much! It is just perfect in every single way. The crust..the sauce..the toppings. This place is so busy and that should tell you something! Sure the place is kinda a hole in the wall but I remember waiting in the RAIN for 20mins just for this pizza. Thats another thing these people who work here seem to be super quick. Dang now my mouth is watering and I am 1200 miles away :( hahahhahahahahhaah

Steve's rules. The crust was super crispy and delicious, they aren't too heavy handed on the sauce and the slices are huge. There are a ton of great vegetarian options, at our table we had the spinach delight w/artichokes (AMAZING), an onion and mushroom, a spinach and eggplant and a couple other combos, they were all super tasty. It was pretty busy when we went (9PM on a Monday) and while all of of my friends food came out really fast, mine took at least 20 minutes. Aside from the fact that I kept making borderline creepy eye-contact with one of the employees and a smart car trapped my friend in the parking lot , we had a good experience. Will definitely be coming back, despite the morning garlic breath I had the next day even after vigorous teeth brushing.

I said I would come back and I did. This time I came at 2 AM and ordered a slice. It was not best pizza I ever had, but it was pretty good! That sweet sauce was applied nicely to the slice and gave it a unique character that makes me understand it's rabid fans. The crust this time had a much better crisp to it and actually had some semblance to what you might get in a lower-end slice joint in New York, although I still wouldn't go that far. The cheese is still the weakest link, being extremely chewy and greasy, but cooking it properly definitely made it more palatable. The counter servers knew how to move the line, and the graffiti-covered seating area is pretty cool! Would like to see if this place can remain consistent.

Best Pizza in Miami!!! If you are looking a fancy sit down pizza place, this is not it. If your looking for a waiting staff, this is not it. Steve's Pizza is there for one reason and one reason only, to give you damn good pizza. Its small compact place with graffiti all over the walls and in the booths (which is very limited) but the smell is amazing and the pizza is that good.

Donald T.
I got a plain cheese slice, so I could more easily evaluate the crust, sauce and cheese. The sauce was disgustingly sweet. I don't mean that someone took a pinch of sugar and added it to the pot to balance the acidity of the tomatoes. I mean that it tasted like there was a half-cup of sugar per gallon. Gaahk!! Now I know what Pizza Candy would taste like. I felt queesy for half an hour. Great crust, though.
(1)
Brent B.
My favorite place to get a cheese pie in Miami. Definitely New York style. The sauce is sweet and I love the crust. Reminds me of a neighborhood joint you would find in Brooklyn. Love the Miss Pac-Man in the corner and grafitti on the walls. This place is always filled with locals. Good sign! Note: Parking can be tough(Park at Home Depot) Seating is limited.

Marcos R.
Slamm'n New York style pizza right here in North Miami. Unfortunately, they don't have a very big delivery radius. I live a half mile beyond their delivery boarder. LAME! They need to move a little further down Biscayne. Just a pipe dream, but I wish they would. On the positive, they are open late; so they're a good option for a late night fix. It's in a tiny shack of a place nestled right next to Home Depot. You can't miss it.

This pizza reminds me a little of New York, Ave A pizza places.... Very thin, very crunchy, nice cheese and the right amount of tomato, which gets a little sweeter and sweeter as you get closer to the edgy crust. Not bad at all. I was actually impressed. I've had pizza from many places, Andiamo, Spris, Piola, Joey's, etc... But for this style of pizza (not Italian but either American) I will keep going back to Steve's Pizza. I just wish they would deliver just a bit farther so they could make it to my place. The place inside is very ghetto and pretty dirty looking. But hey, if you stick to the pizza and eat it outside, you won't be disappointed.

Alissa W.
Yummy I been going here since I am child this is by far one of the best pizza places in Miami. The slices are the size of 2 pieces for $2.50 you cannot beat the prices, or the tasta. This place inside may scare you off don't let it trust me you can see by the line of people the food is good. They have the best tomato sauce I had had then any other pizze down here. If you are in the area definately go in for a slice, or pick up a pizza.

The Best Pizza in Miami!!! I have been coming to Steve's for as long as I can remember, and it has always been great. I don't know what they put in the sauce but NO PIZZA CAN COMPARE to how awesomeeee Steve's is. Ohh and their garlic rolls so garlicky and cheesetastic... THE BEST. Bring a sharpie so you can leave your mark on Steve's, all the booths and so on are covered with graffiti. I love it, you have reading material while you eat. They also have tons of pictures with people who have gone to Steve's throughout the years including some celebs. The staff fits perfectly into Steve's atmosphere, with tattoos and piercings galore. I love it.. Every single time I am in the North Miami area it is very important for me to stop by Steve's, you should too.

Jonathan C.
Not sure what the fuss was about. Got the pizza to go and it was decently price for the size of the pizza i guess. One of the pizzas was pepperoni and something else and the pepperoni for some reason reminded me of the pepperoni that used to be put on pizza they served at my high school. Best thing I can compare it to is maybe Costco pizza although costco pizza is pretty bomb. Maybe i just had my expectations to high. California has better pizza

I have been eating at Steve's since I was a kid and I am old. The Pizza is the best there is. Meatball topping are real meatballs sliced thin. The garlic rolls are killer, great eggplant subs, garlic rolls are perfect and a side of broccoli with melted cheese is fantastic. Top it off with a draft beer or coke-heaven! Friday night ritual. Yummmmmmmm.

Steve's is an institution. My family and I have been coming here for years, and since it's the only restaurant open late for miles around, more often than not you can find my friends, me, and every other hungry bar-goer chowing down here at 2 in the morning. But Steve's doesn't amaze just because it's the only place for late night snacks. No, no! Their pizza is delicious: thin, doughy crusts lovingly slathered with cheese and tomato sauce. Their garlic rolls are even better! Very fluffy and garlicky, you'll fall in love. The counter is covered in hundreds of photos of customers over the years and it's definitely a testament to how many people have adored Steve's over time. It's not big, hardly bigger than a hole in the wall, but especially late at night, you'll thank yourself for grabbing a slice or three here.

Wow !! The best pizza so far that i have ever tasted. Their pizza sauce is what has me hooked, its sweet and goes very well with the Hawaiian. Their Garlic breads are to die for ! Very soft .. The only thing that sucks is that their customer service REALLY SUCKS ! Its EMBARRASSING that with such great pizza theirs that bad of service. I have called to place and ordered over the phone and they click on me without telling me a price, and talk to me very rude. Theirs no welcoming when u dine in ether. I still eat here whenever I'm in the mood for pizza , but it would be so awesome to have that Great CUSTOMER SERVICE to go along with the food .The place is very small but if u have someone else with you to grab a table wile your in the big line its Highly Recommended !!

For a city as large as Miami, decent Pizza joints are like an endangered specie. Luckily, Steve's Pizza tastes delicious! I've only had the cheese pizza, and though it is a bit greasy, all the ingredients blend beautifully. Aside from the great pizza, Steve's is nothing to rave about. It's very small, covered with graffitti inside, and in need of a serious makeover. I wanted to mention that because it seems like some reviewers are rating what the restaurant looks like, rather than the food.

Great, thin, greasy pizza. Perfect pizza for after a few drinks. The pizza by the slice is huge - I'm talking as big as my head. Recommended by a North Miami local and I see why. Added bonus: the restaurant is open until 4 AM and has some nice outside seating near the road to watch traffic go by.

I have come to Steve pizza on different occasions. The place looks pretty cool inside. And the Hours of Operations are pretty decent. And I run out of nice things to say about it. Most OVERRATED PIZZA PLACE, probably on all America. And Don't get me wrong, I wanted to like this place. But I can't make myself go through the horrible service and very forgettable pizza. Delivery anyone? Don't even think about it. Trust me! I have tried many times and all of them with a tragic end. I recently moved to Miami Shores. And I wanted to make Steve's pizza my pizza place , that aint happening! On one of my calls, I told the guy that I wanted a Margherita pizza. And he rudely told me he had no clue what that was... Really???? And you work on a pizza place???? I asked for shrimp on my pizza and I got a Steve pizza instead.. Everytime I called to complain , they gave me a( a-ha); and (sure whatever) attitude.... And The place really needs to close one day and get deep clean. It looks like those folks haven't clean in a long time.

This was the worst pizza I have tasted in years! If you like tomato sauce that taste like canned spegettios then this is for you. We ordered a whole pizza made to order, thecrust was not crispy, the cheese was not really melted and the sauce was like a ketchup spegettios just awful!!

Ok I wrote a good review before but now not so good. I ordered a portion of lasagna, spaghetti and one slice to share with someone. When we got the food they used the same sauce in all three. It tasted disgusting because there was no variation. I had to throw it out. I really think their sauce for pizza is great but should stay for pizza. They really need a separate sauce for their other items.

I have come to Steve's pizza many times, more than I care to count... and I have always enjoyed the pizza here... I would not have called it the best pizza in the world, but definitely a good pizza none-the-less.. That is until one day, I noticed they had Sicilian pizza on the menu... being a lover of Sicilian pizza I had high hopes for a freshly baked pizza, fluffy and full of fresh ingredients including that slightly sweet tomato sauce that Steve's uses... Needless to say I was not disappointed, like a soft warm pillow made from bread, covered in tomato sauce, cheese, and (in my case) mushrooms I was in heaven... having ordered an entire pizza I was pleasantly surprised to find that in addition to said heavenly ingredients, there were also several rolls baked on the top of pizza... so good... so very, very good... I was happy... I have found pizza nirvana

If you like it THIN, this is the place. I never had NY-style pizza this good when I lived in NY. The fact that it is a great bang-for-the-buck place is a bonus.

***Sauce is a little sweet, slices are huge and dirt cheap, staff is friendly, and they open 'til very late!*** I used to work nearby, and would get out of work at 2:30-3am on a Friday night, and this would be the place I'd go to. Staff is super nice, the place gets packed. And I will agree with the "all-drunks-go-there-to-eat" part (depends what time you go, of course). But even drunk at 2:30am, I'm still able to make judgment and say I hate the Denny's behind right the building! So pizza can't be bad as a couple of people have called it. Btw, I HAVE been here during the day, sober, as well. Sheesh...! ;-P I really like the sweet-ish tomato sauce they use. My advice, though: don't order it with too many toppings, because the crust is thin and it can get soggy with the water of veggies and weight of toppings. Stick to plain good ol' cheese. I love it, really. Can't rate calzones or anything else since I've never ordered anything else. Also, they have parking and cops go there a lot, so it's safe. It isn't gourmet pizza. It's street pizza! But it's great street pizza! :-)

You can't find better pizza than this !! The sauce is sweet and I wish I had their recipe, its amazing a sweet basil taste and their garlic rolls, ahhhh its heaven, if you are in the area by a slice n see. The only down side to this place is the parking and the seating inside, they are both very limited and you have to wait to park then wait to sit and wait to get your pizza but its organized and they are very nice family like authentic italian place. We order ahead to save time and then sit outside to eat it.

I grew up in New York and have always loved pizza. I've done the Miami's Best, Casola's, Andiamo and such. I had grown used to having decent pizza, but I finally listened to someone and tried Steve's. Hands down the best pizza in Miami. I only wish I had tried them sooner and saved myself the love hate that is trying pizza at different places. Crispy crust, good sauce and just plain done right. Awesome. Enjoy!

In my opinion, this is the best Pizza in South Florida. As close and as good as NY Pizza as it gets! If lived closer to this place i would probably set a tent in the parking lot and live off pizza for a few months. Seriously. and a place that is open to graffiti...what else do you want?

I don't know what people are talking about, the place is a dump (it needs to be cleaned, everything is filthy), the pizza is OK, the service is rude boarding on obnoxious. I filthy place that hates its customers and serves mediocre pizza shouldn't exist- hope it closes down.

The pizza here could be great if the sauce wasn't so sweet, it tastes like sugar tomato sauce. It was the first thing that i noticed about this pizza. The crust and cheese is good, but is done a terrible disservice by the overly sweet sauce. Sorry, I really wanted to like it :(

Brittney W.
big, delicious slices and friendly staff (minus that one cashier that always gives me attitude). closes in the wee hours of the a.m., good for those late night munchies. remember to bring your own paint, markers, whatever. writing on the walls is encouraged but you must supply your own materials!

The sauce is amazing BUT the cooks were stingy tonight on my sauce serving. I ordered the ziti and meatballs but the sauce was blanketed under the thick layer of cheese. I lifted the single layer of cheese to find an insufficient amount of their famous sauce on top of part of the ziti. I asked the cook for more sauce but he proceeded to tell me what I already knew - that the sauce was under the cheese. I arrived home, dug into the dish and before I knew it I was left with a pile of plain ziti - No sauce was left. C'mon now - I'm paying $11 for some noodles and two meatballs so I'd better get some more of the damn sauce next time. What's worse is that I always hype Steve's up but tonight when I'm really hungry they let me down with a disappointing un-saucy meal.

Quite simply, it's the best pizza in Miami. They serve the thin crust NYC-style pizza here like you'll find in many Miami pizza joints, but Steve's has one important ingredient that is missing in a lot of local pizzerias - taste. Unlike a lot of places here that think that sauce is something optional on a pizza like sausage or pineapple (like pretty much every pizza place on SoBe), Steve's sauce is the key to its success. The sauce Steve's uses on its pizza is a sweet sauce that you just don't taste in other pizzas - it's like tomato sauce mixed with ambrosia decanted from the gods themselves. Okay, well, maybe that's going a bit far, but it's still the best pizza sauce I've ever tasted. The restaurant itself is small and cramped and probably looks the much the same as it did in the '70s. Finding a place to sit can be tricky at times because Steve's popularity combined with the small seating space usually means that most of the tables are occupied. You can damn near forget about finding a table after midnight on a weekend, because it seems like everyone, their mother, and the horse they rode in on are all there satisfying a late night pizza craving. I've never had Steve's deliver to my place, but I don't know if I'd recommend getting delivery. They're small and constantly busy, so I'd imagine that short of ordering when the place first opens, you'll be looking at a really long wait time to get your pie.

Don't love it, but if it's 3am and you are drunk, it's the best pizza in the WORLD! Plus, it's the only thing open if you don't want Denny's. Must say though, the slices are GINORMOUS and filling! Steve's is always packed, but honestly, I don't think their pizza tastes very good, sorry. Sauce is too sweet, crust lacks flavor, just bleh...

RD S.
I agree with everyone who mentioned the environs--it reminds me of Pepper's Pizza in Chapel Hill before they moved into their new home. Very gritty--covered with the patron pictures, graffiti, awards, a placard stating that this is THE best pizza (in Miami, I assume). I also love that the indoor booths have rolls of paper towels. As tacky as it looks, I wish more casual eateries did this instead of giving you flimsy mass-produced paper napkins. Also agree with everyone's assessment with of the pizza--very sweet pizza sauce, crispy crust. Liked it. Will go back, get more pizza and pair it up with a beer in the future.

Starting off, this place deserves special mention for selling Newcastle bottles for $3! Selling Newcastle seems rare enough, but, at $3, is something. Then, the garlic rolls hit you - strong, tangy garlic bathed in maybe too much oil. Thankfully, Newcastle is cheap enough to order more to cleanse your palette. The soups (chicken and pasta fagioli) are hearty, if not memorable. Of course, the real reason for coming here is pizza and the first thing that grabs you is the tomato sauce on the pizza - a little sweet and very little hint of acidity. Very surprising. I am a simpleton when it comes to pizza - cheese, tomato, basil, no fuss. It is surprising how many places cannot do that right. However, on a return trip, that simple mix was all out of whack - too much cheese, which killed the tomato and underplayed the basil. I have heard the artichoke pizza is very good here and if none of the food grabs you, there is always that Newcastle...

This place is always slammin'. I'm kinda addicted to their garlic rolls. Sloppy, garlicky goodness in every bite. I know I shouldn't reach for another but I can't stop myself. They are like kryptonite. If only they had buffalo mozzarella, Oh please, please get some! The dudes at the register are always friendly. Last time I was here I was asked where my name was from? I expressed that I was Cuban. And the dude was like "oh, I thought you were from someplace exotic." My response was " no, just Cuba" I've since decided that when someone asks me where my name and I are from, I will say someplace exotic like Bangladesh, Turkey, Istanbul not Constantinople as to not disappoint. You know what doesn't disappoint? Steve's Pizza! Whether a drunken carb fest, a pizza and a movie masturdate, Sunday beerfest party for friends, a hunger strike gone awry- Steve's Pizza is on point. Fresh, hot, saucy, carby and delicious. When hunger stikes, I listen, I don my grubbin' clothes and Steve's does it just right!

I order from here all the time but I had to give a 3 star because service is horrible! They hurry you up on the phone all the time. Plus if you add extra meat on your pizza and it costs like $4 and they literally put 1/2 a cup only! Over all their sauce is authentic and garlic rolls are very tasty! :)

Pizza is good but they refuse to deliver west of N. Miami Ave....seriously??? Not only do they refuse to deliver, they are extremely rude about it. "we will not send our drivers into the neighborhoods west of N. Miami Ave." Are you kidding me? It's Miami Shores, one of the nicest neighborhoods in Miami. It's 3.4 miles from your location??? On a more positive note, we would have never found Piccolo Pizza (which by the way is farther from our house) had it not been for Steve's upper echelon delivery policy! Thank you Steve's Pizza!

Tamy S.
Best pizza in Miami!!! Pepperoni rocks my socks off and the sauce is sweet and tasty =) Order 1 more slice than you think you want...I get mine with pepperoni and garlic. The garlic rolls are off the chain! Soft, garlicly and herby. The atmosphere is like a skating rink with arcade games and writing all over the walls. It's really small and cozy and there's outdoor seating. My boyfriend has been eating here since 1974 and he says that it hasn't changed a bit. I love Steves!!! I am totally willing to drive out of my way (I live about 30 min away) to eat here. 5 stars hands down

It's a cool late night spot to hangout & chill with friends but that's it. I wouldn't go back there for the pizza or anything else on the menu. I tried really hard to like this place & went back several times because it was the only place that stayed open super late by my boyfriend's apartment other than Denny's. The menu has nothing special disappointed with my meatball sub, my cheese bread & garlic rolls. The last time I went I ordered a pizza to go, when I got home I found it was still RAW dough in the center of my pizza. They only baked it half way....so I finally had to stop giving this place a chance & I cringe every time I drive by Steven's because I have flashbacks of uncooked pizza dough covered in sauce .

Steve's Pizza is not only legendary,,It is tried and true Delicious!!!,,From the time it is made freshly in front of you until the time you devour it on your tastebuds and then go back and ask for more. Yes,,I have even had the pleasure of them showing me how to make and toss a pizza,,Yes,,that is how good it is! In addition,,they do have fresh herbs such as basil,,oregano and rosemary growing in the dining area which you may ask to pick from and top your pizza.. Enjoy! For Steve's Pizza is a gem and they deliver! :) Open VERY late as an additional bonus!!! P.S. Do NOT listen to the New Yorkers! This is better than NY. Welcome to Miami!!!

I'm from NJ and grew up with pizza as a constant in my life. So it means a lot to me to eat a good slice that reminds me of what I grew up with. Steve's pizza to me is one of those places that serves great pizza and has the atmosphere of a great pizza joint. It's the best at those late night moments when fast food doesn't seem too appealing to eat. The sauce they use is really great, it's full of flavor that other places can't grasp. I am definitely a big fan of their sausage pizza and white pizza as well. My place of work orders pies from here every friday and that means something. Their pizza is consistently delicious, I'm glad it's open late at night and also during the day. These people are serious about their food and it shows. I recommend going here anytime you're nearby, it's always nice to eat a slice of good tasting pizza.

My girlfriend was craving pizza for lunch and I found Steve's Pizza on urbanspoon. I read F' off I'm Full's review and thought this would be an excellent place to try out since it wasn't a chain like Pizza Hut, Dominos, etc. We ordered a whole large pizza since it was "cheaper" but the total came out to ~$23 for their "supreme". Wait time was about 15-20 minutes. The crust was delicious! But everything else was "meh". The green pepper and sausage didn't seem too fresh and the tomato sauce tasted a bit plain (not enough salt?). All booths were filled so you may need to wait a bit if dining in. I'm not deterred from this place because I could have ordered the incorrect specialty pizza. Next time I'll try something more popular and plain like pepperoni. The price should be in the $$$ $15-$25 range for specialty pizzas. $$ $10-$15 is for one topping larges.

The best pizza in North Miami! Fast service, friendly, and intresting staff. I love to the pepperoni and mushroom pizza with a side of garlic rolls. The pizza is kinda greasy so might want to dab it with a napkin first. Another very good neighborhood spot to hit up. The place is little and has outside seating. There also a lot of history written on the chairs.

Steve's Pizza is one of Miami's best-kept secrets. This hole in the wall is home to Miami's best pizza. They have a vested interest in their customers, which is evident by all the pictures on the wall. Their special tomato sauce is what makes their pizza so good; you don't even need toppings because it's great as is. The concept is simple, good pizza at a good price; however going there is definitely an experience. I would recommend Steve's for anyone looking for just plain and simple great pizza!

Latoya S.
OK so I'm not trying them again.. I don't know, maybe I'm missing something, but I really don't know what all the hype is about.. My best friend, my ex, and my husband go on and on about this place; and all 3 have dragged me in there (on different occasions of course) but yet and still I always come out disappointed... and low and behold, they always end up saying "OK, they must be just having a bad day" :/ I'm sorry but I've tasted way better pizza than this and the last time I was there the place looked a lil dingy (Den-G), like it could really use a visit from the health department.. I'm just say n..

What can I say that locals and others who know of this awesome little place called steve's that already hasn't been said? They are good, damn good!!! Likely the best pizza joint in Miami. Seriously! These guys make pizza EXACTLY like many good pizza places in NYC. I'm sure that the rock music and the writing all over the seats won't appeal to everyone, (I don't mind it at all) but I guess that's their thing. Well I usually go for a slice, maybe two if I'm really hungry. Well I could blabber on about what toppings I like, or the fact that I can only come here while at work. (I don't live nearby) but if you ever happen to be anywhere nearby, definitely come on down and get yourself some super awesome pizza made relatively quickly. And if you're smart like the locals are, call in your order to ensure the best quality pizza goodness!

I admit that I went to Steve's with a bit of an attitude, expecting to be disappointed with the pizza, which has been my usual experience with most of the pizzerias around town. Turns out I was more than pleasantly surprised by how good the pizza tastes. Chewy crust that is just a little crisp on the bottom. Good sauce, one that is sweeter than you'll find at most pizzerias. The sausage could be a lot better, spicier and less fatty-tasting, but the pepperoni is very good. A lot of their customers are there for takeout orders, but many choose to have their meals at one of the handful of booths around the restaurant, which is on the small side. Compared to, say, a Pizzeria Blu, or Andiamo, or Anthony's, the place is lacking in the glamor department. It kind of reminds me of the kind of pizza joint the teens of American Graffiti or Happy Days might have hung out at. Prices are a bit on the high side for the quantity of food you get and the ambiance of the dining area. The staff could be a little friendlier, but they get the job done. Overall, I'd say it's worth a try if you like NY-style pizza. Not the best pizza in the Miami area by any stretch of the imagination, but still pretty good.

I don't know what it is about this place, but anyone that likes it is brain washed. After hearing about how amazing Steve's Pizza is from a couple of co-workers I decided to drag my husband down to North Miami to try it. There was a bit of a line but nothing intolerable. Once we placed our order and received our drinks we proceeded to sit down. I found the entire restaurant pretty dirty and at this point I began to lose my appetite. The pizza finally came out and it looked delicious so I started to feel better about eating. Well it looked delicious but it wasn't. The pizza is so disgustingly greasy. The sauce was really sweet for my taste but I suppose others might like it that way. We managed to only get through 2 slices and brought the rest home. For about 2 days after I felt like I had drank a bottle of oil and it was just sitting at the back of my throat. Reheating the pizza made it even more greasy. I will never eat at Steve's Pizza again.

This place has been voted Miami's best pizza by the New Times, and the reason it won this award is the same reason I keep coming back. It really is the BEST PIZZA in Miami. Hands down, this is a must try, it did not win the award for cutest restaurant or fancy schmancy-ness, it is just the best pizza. The inside decoration is basic, simple and truly unique which fits this place so well. Beyond the modest furniture, and old tile floor, you see hand written graffiti, notes and random things written by patrons, some obviously after a long hard night of drinking. To the point , tho, the pizza is simply amazing, I have had it after a long night and other times in the middle of the day sober, each time its just as amazing. I do not know what they do or how they do it to make the pizza, but it is simply the best. I have enjoyed the cheese many times and this simple dish has so many flavors it really is amazing. Stop reading this and go fall in love. STEVES FOR LIFE

After leaving the Sade concert fairly late, we were searching for a place to eat. We drove north on Biscayne Blvd and had decided on Denny's when this little gem caught out attention. Hoping it was still open, much to our delight...they're open till 4a.m.!!!!! I had the Sausage and Meatball Parm Hoagie and ordered a Tuna sub to go...(just in case I got snacky during the night, lol). The sauce was AMAZING!! Sweet and zesty and the meat was delish. A really great late night spot to grab a bite. Next time I'll try the pizza which I'm sure won't disappoint.

LOVE this place!! I have been coming here for over 15 years and it is the best pizza in Miami. I usually get pick up or delivery because the place is small and always packed. The pizza, garlic rolls, chicken parmigan, everything is good and never disappoints. They are open late 7 days a week and was a usual late night stop in my younger days!! Everyone that I take here loves it and no other pizza in miami compares. Just ordered it the other night.....yum!!!

Some of the best pizza I have ever had, hands down. (And trust me, I have had a lot of pizza!). Okay, so maybe this place isn't the classiest place I've ever had a meal, but who cares? You come here for the pizza alone and it's worth it. The sauce is slightly sweet. The crust is perfectly thin and crispy. The cheese is gooey. Each slice is a monstrosity. This place is a Miami gem disguised as a dingy restaurant along US 1. The garlic rolls hold there own here too.

From Texas and nothing can compare to Steve's Pizza. I have been to North Miami twice and was hooked the first time. Great service,friendly employees and lovely surrounding.

This pizza is pretty much as consistently solid as any pizza around. I would say the closest pizza to compare this to down here would be primo pizza and i like steves better. i like primo alright but i like the sauce at steve's. it has this sweetness i think that makes it pretty original. i love the friend eggplant topping as well. i have also ordered the spaghetti with red clam sauce which is also pretty good although a little oily. for a great slice or pie though steve's is a great choice.

good pizza--nice crust, yes sauce is sweeter, though vege toppings a little lacking. I think you should order the meat variety. garlic dinner rolls are excellent, like everyone has mentioned. I think this place fits well as a late nite snack pizzeria

Ive been going to steves pizza for 25 years. I know its weird but true. Theyre a landmark with pretty good food. At times it seems like they change the sauce but at the end of the day the food is normally on point. Its a little ghetto inside but I guess that makes the ambiance. biggest problem the have is their bathrooms are outside of the building on the side. So if its raining you re screwed....

Just as others have said it is pretty good pizza. We ordered a med cheese pizza and half a dz of their cheese garlic rolls. What makes Steve's Pizza memorable is the hint of sweetness in their sauce, just wish they were more generous with it. BF loved their cheese garlic rolls, and although I'm not a fan of them ... Steve's were one of the best, if not the best. 8)

Pretty good NY style pizza here. I tried the cheese slice and it was pretty damn good. Of course, I've had better in NYC, but Steve's deserves some accolades. I'm not sure if this is the norm, but there was a long line out the door when we came. It took a good amount of time standing and waiting in cramped circumstances to order. Their toppings are very good. I tried the pepperoni and it was special in both texture and taste.

Steve's is the BEST!!! Everyone from JWU goes there all the time and they are open late! I used to live in Aventura, and North Miami, and I moved back to Jersey last year. Man do I crave Steve's all the time! And the writing all over the walls is so unique! Sign the walls!

I've been eating at Steve's for about 10 years and I still think it's the best pizza in South Florida. I love the sweet tomato sauce used in the recipe!

This is the true definition of a "joint." You should have seen it back in the day before it was slightly remodeled though. Pizza here is the attraction. Great garlic rolls as well. Their meatball sub and chicken parm sub are pretty good from what I recall but have not ordered them for awhile. Try the pepperoni, spinach, and onions. You can get double dough as well. The sauce is amazing.

I heard so much about it let's do it... The place is really packed. Pizzas are huges and really cheap. Pizza looks like Mario the baker, is not the best pizza, but it's not bad neither. Is just a regular fast food pizza no special taste... Sorry.

This is hands down the best Pizza in Miami. I used to work around this area a couple of years ago and I would always hit up Steve's for Peperoni slices during lunch. I recently went back and pleased to say their quality is still second to none. Thin crust, semi-sweet tomato sauce, generous cheesy slices. If you are looking for great pizza, Steve's is the place. However, don't go for ambiance it's a small place with limited seating.

I'm not hatin' or anything but I'm surprised by all the comments saying this is NY-style pizza. As a frequenter of NYC(and its pizza) this ain't it. Hey, maybe I got a bad batch or something as I've only been there once. Steve's is not the best but it's not bad either. The sauce is sweet which I actually liked. I prefer a thinner/crispier crust and this was more on the bready/soft side. Steve's is cool because it's open late. I think they're open 'til 3 a.m. on the weekend and that's pretty great. If you've been out and you're heading home and need something to soak up the alcohol, Steve's is the place to go. People write all over the booths which is actually kinda cool because you feel like you're living North Miami history. All in all, OK pizza.

Pizza is delicious. I've had NY pizza in NY. Usually better than anything down here, EXCEPT, Steve's.

Pizza is a must try best pizza I ever had! They are open late they sell beer and it's perfect pricing for college student and regular people!

My first time at Steve's pizza was yesterday and it wont be my last :) This is a great pizza spot if you're out late, we arrived at about 1 in the morning. The place itself has a lot of character, bring a marker and you'll be able to tag up some furniture. The employees are helpful and laid back. They have a wide selection of pizzas and calzones, I ordered the vegetarian calzone and man oh man was it GREAT! My brother ordered a plain cheese pizza and it didn't disappoint. My brother and I call ourselves pizza connoisseurs lol and Steve's pizza passed the test especially when we considered how cheap it is. All in all this is a good spot to go to if you're out late and want some good pizza :D

I love this place, great Pizza. Ingredients are solidly good and this is real NYC pizza -- if you like that. I've been twice and found some inconsistency in the sauce flavor, but both were good.

One of the finest pies in Florida; if you like pepperoni theirs is the stuff of dreams!

Decent Pizza, I guess it tastes a lot better because it is the only thing opened in the area around 4 Am besides Danny's. I would like to see it cleaned up a little and maybe have the people making the pizza wear hair nets and gloves would be nice. Sometimes the slices are too small. I complained once to the "Pizza Chef" and he gave me an attitude and told me to take it. They also dont take cards for under 5 dollars which i dont know if that is even legal and dont take AMEX. so better bring your cash. also no place to sit a lot of the times.

Nice little pizza dive stuck in the 90s. You can get pizza by the slice!!! This isn't my favorite pizza place in Miami, but it is a really good second place & since it is conveniently located I eat there more often. NOTE OF CAUTION: When ordering to go always check your pizza. Sometimes they reheat old dried out pizza and that is never a pleasant surprise when you get home to eat.

Great ny-style pizza, with the ny-style pizzeria atmosphere. We're not talking Patsy's here; we're talking filthy floors, paper plates, paper towels, and walls adorned with 4x6 photos of Steve's best patrons. Word of caution: if you don't like sweet pizza sauce, get a calzone with marinara or some other entree, or avoid Steve's altogether. The pizza sauce has a sweet tang. Aside from the pizza, the garlic rolls are amazing. They're quite a good value, too. Steve's is a Miami establishment. It's been there as long as I could remember. My bro and I love the culture there; it's one of the few OLD Miami pizzerias. I think they are open till 3 or 4 am most nights, and my we've been surprised to find them open even as hurricanes are coming through. I think they have backup gas ovens, so they light up a few candles and invite everyone scouring for food after the storms. Thumbs up. Check it out if you haven't!

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

This is the old neighborhood hang out! This place has some awesome pizza. Their tomato sauce is actually sweet and it makes the Pizza taste a lot better. One of my favorite places in the north miami area.
(5)jose b.
Great Pizza, great sauce, toppings and seating. Locals meeting place.
(4)Sidney I.
Best thin crust pizza I've had in Miami!!! Really love that place. Sometimes I'd bike there to pick up a pizza or have it delivered. I enjoy eating pizza there with my friend Nikki. The bathrooms are a bit sketchy but its one of those hole in the wall joints that has really great tasting pizza!

Visited last night. WHAT A NIGHTMARE! Steve's boasts a great pizza and yes, it is great. However, the atmosphere is mass chaos and hysteria. The service is unprofessional, impolite, and simply rude. Once you get into the infinite single line to order, whether or not you've ordered for pick up, you must get in the same line, it will be another eternal wait to get your order. Your choice to have it delivered within 45 minutes? Yes, this is actually what they tell you on the phone. Does it happen in this time frame? NO. I have waited up to 90 minutes. It's a shame. So you might be lead to believe it's a great pizza? YES, it is. However, not worth the aggravation. I have visited this establishment and watched it's growth at least 20 years now. They have the business and the means to expand a separate line for pick up, after all, you are making it so that you don't have to wait longer for your meal-aren't you? There are two people taking orders at the same time, one for you, speaking at the 3 ft. counter, a tight space and the other shouting at the person behind you, creating no privacy for paying and completing your transaction, as well as the person behind you who feels compelled to answer the person taking the order. Is this the lame attempt to move the line faster? C'mon? This is simply rude and unprofessional. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't like to be rushed to hurry up and pay, waiting for drinks, or simply asking a question, while being shouted over, excuse me? Sorry I got in your way? It's bad enough that you have someone standing so close to you that you can smell their breath. No respect for personal space. I can't imagine the person who comes in for ONE slice? Steve's could do something about this shortcoming, unfortunately what I see is dollar after dollar being handed over and no care or concern for the customer. Yes, I did see the "remodeling" with year round Christmas lights and outdoor seating that gets wet in the rain because the awning is so short. Thanks for the strategically placed napkin dispenser. The rainwater is great for wiping off the tables because there is no bus person service. I guess that accounts for the permanent sign that hangs on the door advertising for help. Something is terribly wrong here, especially when I feel compelled to write such a review. I feel that people who don't appreciate your patronage do not deserve your business. I loved the pizza, AND I WON'T BE BACK. For those who have time and energy to put up with the nonsense, continue to patronize them...... YOU deserve it.
(2)Peter B.
Best pizza in miami hands down. I went to school in Penn and went up to NYC almost every weekend. Steves is better than most NYC joints. The sauce is bananas and the crust is as good as any NYC place I've been too. My kids love it and they hardly like to eat anything. I wish there were more places in South Florida that live up to the North Easts high standards of food.
(5)Franky A.
This place has good pizza but it's so freaking dirty inside of this place and the bathrooms are awful. The service sucks too but the pizza makes up for all of the mess.
(3)Israel L.
i have tried but no one in Miami come close to having as good as pizza as Steve's love the pizza, love the garlic rolls, and that sauce is the best pasta good but not great but i never seen anyone every order the pasta anyways
(4)David D.
For all you New York transplants in South Florida, in North Miami, there's a little slice of home - pie that is. A co-worker of mine, who's from Long Island, told me about this place and the pie is very Big Apple. The decor is really basic, nothing fancy. The pies are New York big and the sausage is cut in flat circles, al la Manhattan. Oh, and it's open till the wee hours if you are looking for a bite after a night on the town. And the price is right. Couldn't ask for anything more.
(5)harold m.
Maybe the most overrated place in Miami..Dont get me wrong pizza is good but far from great...The big thing this place has going for them is there hours of operation (dont think they are ever closed) ..If you are in the area its worth a visit
(3)Wagner B.
I love this place! Located in my old stomping grounds (North Miami), Steves still makes me come back over and over again (from Kendall). Ive been going to Steves for well over 20 years and the place looks like its been around for a lot longer than that. Not that it matters to me, the outside has gotten a small makeover for those who want to enjoy their food outside and the inside looks exactly as i remember it. The walls are covered with writing from people who have decided to mark the place with whatever they had in mind at the moment along with pictures that have been taken here over the years. The place is small so seating is a bit like being a vulture waiting for its shot at a meal. They play rock over the speakers and don't give a crap if you like it or not. As for the food, the pizza is always fresh and crispy, the sauce is slightly sweet and if you prefer toppings be prepared to get a mound of them. The sandwiches are huge as well as the pastas, the garlic rolls are greasy and awesome and they have a great bottled beer selection as well as a few drafts for you and your friends to share a pitcher. Love the food, the staff, the hours and i just wish they relocated further south. Highly recommend a stop to Steves
(5)Eliana R.
I loved this place when I was in MIami. I lived at JWU dorms up Biscayne and would go every week. Excellent pizza, reminded me of the stuff I ate at home. The price was pretty decent and I always left here happy. Delicious pizza.
(5)Eschel H.
The NY-style pizza here is awesome! But unless you're looking for an ultra-casual meal, you may be better of doing take out. Beer and wine are available.
(4)Supa Dave D.
This is just like ninja turtle pizza. It taste like a reptile made it in a sewer. Instead of fresh sauce, I think they used fancy ketchup packets from McDonalds. You will find better pizza in the frozen section of CVS. Save your money!
(1)Xasperniak B.
Pizza close to as good as it gets in Miami (for NY style). Open late (till 4am), but it does take a while, even a few slices of cheese bake 10+ minutes.. maybe they are always busy. Graffiti welcomed, long-standing locals spot worth visiting.
(4)Brian A.
you can never go wrong with Steve's for as long as i can remember.
(4)Seleyna L.
I U sually go to the Steve's pizza on US1 but I was in the area, and in the mood for pizza so I stopped by. Very delicious pizza! Staff was friendly and service was quick!
(4)Fefika E.
Ah! What a dilemma this place represents to me. I keep wanting to give it one more chance but it is time to give my honest opinion about it. This place is INCONSISTENT. I have been to Steve's 4 times. The first time my friend and I grabbed a Hawaiian and a Cheese slice. Apart from being way too heavy on the pineapple, the ham on the Hawaiian was soggy which made the crust soggy. The cheese slice was so loaded with cheese, it would make the greatest cheese lover straight up sick. The second time- my friend and I had a slice of cheese with basil (picture below). It was amazing. The crust was actually thin and crisp. The tomato sauce was tolerably sweet. There was the perfect amount of cheese. Basil was the perfect addition. The third time- had another slice of the exact same cheese with basil with the same friend and we both agreed that the crust was incredibly stale and bland. There was wayyy too much of that overly sweet tomato sauce and not enough cheese. My friend brought up a great point in that the inconsistency might be due to the fact that we order slices rather than entire pies since they use an already prepared cheese pie and throw your toppings of choice on as you order. While that is a great point, I truly believe that the inconsistency is simply a REAL issue at this place. Apart from all- the atmosphere is amazing. Great staff. I really wanna love this place and I do but the pizza is not all it's cracked up to be. :/
(2)Saralyn R.
I order from here often although one of the girls that answer the phone has an attitude problem. I usually get the tuna salad and pizza with mushrooms and spinach. Make sure you tell them to put in nessasary dressings because they aren't willing to bring it to you if they forget. Pizza sauce is sweet I love it.
(4)Irene H.
It's pizza.. not very hard to mess up. But some people do. I have yet to have a bad experience here. Steve's is a tiny location and very casual. Surprisingly, they have a pretty good side salad (I tried it on a whim, don't judge me). Definitely coming back. Tip: Parking is limited, so get there before or at 12pm during weekdays to grab a spot.
(4)Michael C.
Small place amazing pizza line sometimes comes out the restaurant but we'll worth the wait been coming here since going to JWU 2003
(5)Ivette R.
Yummy pizza and great service love the sausage and pepperoni with mushrooms pizza and garlic bread delightfully delicious
(5)Phillip L.
I saw an article on yahoo that said this was this best pizza in Florida, which I hope isn't true. The pizza wasn't the worst I've had, but wasn't very good either. The dough seemed a little undercooked, and since crust is my favorite part of a pizza, I was really let down. We also ordered some cheese garlic bread and it was drenched in garlic. I love garlic, but wow! I had the taste of garlic in my mouth for the next 2 days.
(2)Dee L.
Really really good pizza. No frills restaurant with good food..I am from Chicago and enjoy deep dish pizza, but this is the best thin crust pizza that I have found in the Miami area.
(5)Naty K.
4.5 stars. Although some people think Steve's Pizza is mediocre, I still think it's great. I came back about a week ago and had the pleasure of being helped by Stefanie. I hadn't met her on my previous visit, but I was glad to be greeted by someone so friendly and cheerful. She even advised me on the size of pizza I should get for myself and my little girl. This time, the sauce didn't seem as sweet, yet it was still loaded with pepperoni and mushrooms, just the way I like it. If there's one thing I hate, it's restaurants that skimp on toppings/dressing/ingredients. It was thin-crust, the way I like it, and the mushrooms were fresh (meaning, not out of a can). The cook was very nice and handed me paper plates so I wouldn't have to do dishes tonight (great suggestion!). My daughter was impressed by the pizza's appearance and kept complaining about having to wait until we drive all the way home to eat it (I did takeout this time), and with that wonderful scent of freshly baked pizza lingering in the car, I started feeling the same way. I was glad I got a large, as it lasted me for a good 2 days of lunch and dinner for myself and my daughter. She loved it and ate it, and it's hard to get her to eat her lunch. Although most kids LOVE pizza, I did encounter a pizza this week that she refused to eat, and that was Jerry & Joe's, down in Cutler Bay, so yes, she is a picky eater even when it comes to pizza! Steve's is not only recommended by me, but it is also kid approved. Give it a try, you won't regret it!
(4)Lauren G.
Their pizza is amazing. I've been eating pizza here since I was little and they have never failed to amaze me with their pizza. The cheese is perfectly gooey and even if you get it delivered its still amazing.
(5)Lexie L.
My favorite NY style pizza around because: they put flavor into it. You can taste oregano, garlic, basil...yum. The sauce is a bit sweet, but that's their thing and its OK! I love the grungy worn but loving and fun tiny building, it's a touch of home. I buy a few pies at a time and freeze the slices for the kids. How bout that?!! Love it
(4)Alexandra M.
Their pizza is the bomb and super cheap by the slice. Its very convenient if you work late because this place is open until 3 or 4. The garlic rolls are awesome so I definitely suggest getting them. The staff is really friendly and are really nice to talk to. Make sure to tip them because they absolutely deserve it! If you're looking for the best pizza in Miami than you have come to the right place!
(5)Johnny L.
A true North Miami landmark. Grab a slice, a beer, and drop a quarter in Ms. Pac Man. Classic!
(5)Claire S.
We came this afternoon and they were much less busy. The pizza was significantly improved, no extra crispy crust :). They have outdoor seating which is nice for the little ones but no high chairs.
(4)Emmy B.
This is the worst pizza my husband and I have ever had. The sauce is so overwhelmingly sweet you can't taste anything else. If you like your pizza with a pound of sugar on it, this is the way to go. This may look like a NY pizza but it doesn't taste like one. pros: you're only out $15, comes out fresh cons: the taste
(1)Daisy S.
Late night munchies.... Where do you go? STEVES! This place is super casual and the pizza and subs never disappoint! The garlic rolls- yummmmmyyyyy Try the parmesan sub! They also Cary dirty chips! My favorite.
(4)Kazuna A.
Good pizza, i like it . Not love it yet tho. Myb cuz im not pizza eater that much . But im sure they must be best pizza in north miami. I also liked the earth down style decor . worth to try it.
(3)Kikiritka K.
Hands down the BEST pizza in North Miami Beach. If you want authentic NY style pizza this is the place to go. It's thin and crispy saucy and cheesy. Sauce is sweet and cheese is salty, nice!. I grew up on the East Coast eating real good pizza so I know what I'm talking about. I can't eat any other pizza here now that I've had their pizza, yup that's how good it is! Place: It's kinda small and tight, not to many tables, some outside but it's usually full during the day. Looks like a hole in the wall with graffiti on everything and kinda old and dark inside but that's the charm of this place. Tip: Parking spaces are limited, but there's a Home Depot across the street that you can park at.
(5)Dailyn M.
Their pizza is awesome! I love to get mine to go although on occasion we also eat here. This is the best pizza place on this side of town. Their sauce is sweet. I especially like their cheese pizza. The slices are big and I think their x-large is their best value.
(5)Jean-Samuel A.
Some really bomb pizza, would recommend to anyone for late night food. Every pizza store seemed closed, lucky we found this small local pizza place that made our night and our taste buns. It atmosphere is unique a little messy but that's ok. It really like NY style pizza so if you like that you will love this. Recommend if you are ever craving pizza at like 12:30 in the morning
(4)Jenifer C.
amazing Pizza went there last week. Love the thin crust. Will make this a weekly treats
(5)Rick L.
Being born and raised in NYC I have a love for true Brooklyn Pizza. Since moving to Miami Beach I have longed the taste of that good old fashioned pizza. Luckily I found Steve's pizzeria. Every time I ho shopping at Home Depot next door my tastebuds call for a delicious slice of pizza from Steves. You won't be disappointed. From the graffiti on the wall to the authentic wooden seat style booths. This is a great tasting slice that must not be passed up.
(5)Christine P.
They don't deliver to my apartment, but I'll drive anywhere for Steve's Pizza. The sauce is magical and makes all the difference. More expensive than regular run-of-the-mill pizza places - but once you've tasted it, you'll know why.
(5)Joy D.
Ok. I've had time to let this experience marinate. And in all sincerity I must say that Steve's Pizza left me under-whelmed. I ordered the Special, which included sausage, pepperoni and beef. The sweet sauce was ok, but not my preference for a topping on my pizza. All was not lost. I did like the thin crust of the pizza. Reminded me of pizza from back in the day, when the emphasis was more on the toppings and less on the bread. Saw it. Ate it. Don't need to do it again!
(2)Wendy V.
Sadly to say I won't have the pleasure of enjoining the delicious pizza of Steve`s Pizza. A Pest Control program must be implemented! The roaches took over my plate! No coming back!
(1)Danie D.
Very disappointing :-( I've been eating at Steves for 15 years. The food is always great and the service is wonderful. After a year or two of being deprived of their deliciousness I decided to stop in for a couple of slices. I ordered on my way there and it was ready when I arrived. Unfortunately as I was at the register paying for my food I noticed a roach crawling on the back of the register in all of those cords and dust (and God knows what else). I was too embarrassed to say anything so I paid for my food and left. Where there is one there is definitely many many more. It wasn't a huge roach, I think this one was a German roach. Hopefully they address the issue. I'm so disgusted by seeing roaches in the place where Iove to eat. I know it's hard to avoid in south florida but the place definitely needs a good deep cleaning every once in a while.
(2)Angel L.
Been in the area 16 years and I have never had such a bad experience with Steves Pizza. I'm literally 1.2 miles away and they won't deliver. The young girl on the phone was very nonchalant about the driver saying he wouldn't deliver. They lost a loyal customer. I wi take my business elsewhere. Steves has gotten to big to their bridges. Your pizza is not the only establishment around. How sad.
(1)Jon B.
Love the pizza here! New York style done right! Only reason I give it a 4 is because of the lack of a real dine in option. Very small inside. Regardless it is always packed in and out. Pizza is amazing here go grab a pie to take home now!
(4)Elizabeth A.
This place is cool, its got a laid back old pizza joint feel, old photos of celebrity visits, graffiti and sweet sauce. The pizza, unfortunately lacked all that it's talked up to be. But the garlic rolls ... sweet baby jesus! It's not my favorite but I'm a fat girl I'll probably give it another shot, should I find myself in North Miami.
(2)Claudia V.
Probably the BEST pizza in Miami. Keyword Miami--the number one thing to take into consideration when judging it's quality and taste. Similar to New York style with a very unique twist. I think sugar is one of the secret ingredients in the tomato sauce. Open late (3AM) and worth the calories (every once in a while).
(5)Deborah D.
I'll try a few extra miles to get the pizza and meatball parmigiana from Steve's. The quality has yet let me down. I'll call about 20 minutes ahead of time and the order is always ready on time instead of waiting in line to place an order. Parking is a little sparse at times but the hours of operation is a plus :)
(4)Aaron Z.
This pizza will kick your dick in.
(4)Willie J.
This is the best pizza place in Miami hands down. When my wife first told me about it I didn't believe here until she brought a slice home and since then I been hooked . This is the best pizza that I have ever had . I will only eat pizza from this place from now on . Also the wings are great you must try this place and you'll be hooked
(5)Antonio A.
great for miami pizza
(5)Jessica A.
This place is right by my place so I figured I'd check it out. I ordered the special that pretty much has everything on it. I loved the sauce and the place is pretty creative inside with the tags and graffiti. Kind of reminds me of the pizza shops in chicago.
(3)Brittany C.
Gahhh for the golden garlic knots! Pepperoni is a must if you are a fan of them fresh and delicious :)
(4)Planters V.
This place is an institution. Never been here for dine-in, but take out is solid. The plain old pepperoni is damn good. Do NOT pull into handicapped spot,even if just running in for pick up. You will be cited by police patrolling
(3)Chris G.
I chose one star because you can't go lower. I think what I dislike more than the greasy substandard pizza is the horrible service and arrogance you get late at night. There was a time when Steves Pizza was the bomb now it seems to be a trashy hangout with unfriendly staff and substandard food.
(1)Nelson G.
If you guys are tourist and looking for good pizza, this is the place. Steves pizza is so delicious, and the hoogies are BOMB. The service was fast and people are down to earth. Thank you Miami for the great pizza experience.
(5)MICHELLE C.
Do you ever dine at a place that is so awful, you think about it for several hours? That was how I felt yesterday. There is nothing worst then to spend money and have food so bad that well it just pisses you off. I must have missed something here because the reviews are up there. For the life of me I can not see why. Anyhow everyone is entitled to their own opinion and let's face it we all have different palates. Was in the area and wanted something quick as we had a lot of errands to run. I have passed this place a gazillion times and finally said oh let's stop here the reviews look awesome. A very small place once inside with a few tables inside and out. When I first walked in my thoughts were wow this place is very old, it looked ancient. Um time to remodel maybe? So we see very thin pizza and thick crust pan type pizza. Hubby ordered two slices of pan pizza please add sausage and mushrooms and then he ordered a side of penne with garlic rolls. I walked directly outside to snag a table and when our order was ready they call your name to pick up. I go to eat a bite of my pizza and it was cold. Not warm, cold. Hubs takes it back in to ask them to heat it up again in the oven. He then ask for extra pizza sauce, OK really ice cold pizza sauce in a cup was given to him. Oh and the garlic rolls I found nothing special about them, very doughy and not tasteful and I can pound away some garlic rolls. We ordered six and I ate half of one. At this point I knew we had made a huge mistake coming here. My slice is ready, it is covered with a few a very few thin slices of sausage and tons of raw mushrooms. The sauce was sickening sweet. Hey if you like sweet pizza sauce maybe this is for you but not for me. All in all between the cold everything, sweet sauce, terrible raw ingredients as well as the horrible pasta oh dear I would have rather gone to damn pizza hut. Service was not even friendly. Looks like they have decent business, well good but I can promise I will never be back. Chalk this place up as one of the worst meals ever in Miami.
(1)Barbara E.
After the Heat game last night and seeing their $20 tiny microwaved pizza, my cousin and I were looking for a place to eat and we found Steves Pizza after passing up Papa John's, etc. We got pepperoni with mushrooms, thin crust. This was the best pizza ever and I totally love funky cool places much more than some corporate crap. The employees were great, the clientele was a nice mix of people. I knew it was a great place when we drove up and the parking lot was full at 10pm. Open til 3am during the week, 4am on the weekends. I live in Palm Beach County and I want to go back!
(5)Cris S.
Great pizza, it's good every time I eat here. Haven't had anything but pizza here. Pepperoni is awesome. Chucks of it!

Best pizza around hands down. I've lived on Steve's Pizza for 24 years. It's the only Pizza place I recommend to out of towners.

Pizza Dive...that ish cray! Although there was one couple dressed in a suit and I was in business casual, the crowd borders between Johnson and Wales students, hipster and hood. The bathroom was outside of the restaurant space itself (like in a gas station as another reviewer wrote) and was out of paper towels, and toilet dirty. Although probably intentional, the walls are tagged / graffed up. I had to wipe my own table to not dirty my shirt sleeves. Yeah, yeah I know I sound like a total snob. Still $10 for two slices Hawaiian and a fountain soda seem like a good deal..two ginormous slices....with a spicy sweetness in the sauce and didn't need extra sauce. Plenty pieces of ham and pineapple, and a generous helping of the sauce. I for one am a fan of thin crust, and don't mind a little greasy when it comes to pizza. Music was also a little better than my usual late night dinner spots, with alt rock bumping the speakers. The food itself was 5 stars in my book, and am halfway tempted to put them in my Mangia, Mangia or late night gourmet lists... BUT, I don't appreciate nickel and dimed for sauce (thankfully I didn't need extra) or soda refills at a fast food place. In addition to the premium for the refillable soda, they charge an extra 50 cents per refill. I'm sorry, but I'm going against the grain here and giving them only three stars. If this review were solely for the pizza, this could have easily been 5 stars but in the end the ambiance and nickel and diming are what stick, bringing this place down to 3 stars for me.

I dont really get why alot of people tell me this pizza its amazing, theres nothing great about it, its lack of taste got me really dissapointed, I ordered the mushroom and spinach and sausage pizza and honesty the topis where also missing flavor, I think it will be the last time I order from them, and also it was kind of expensive 20 dlls for small pizza without taste, I threw my money on the trash, I prefer 1000 times Papa Jonhs Pizza than this. Im so disapppinted.

This place to me is absolutely amazing! It is a small little joint next to a Home Depot I believe. If you walk in and it looks a little sketchy don't let that deter you from getting pizza here. We were spending the day in Miami and later that night decided that we wanted some pizza. It was around 2 AM and being the only place open we decided to stop by for a quick bite. The service was fast and very friendly. We ordered a large pepperoni pizza and some cheese bread. The cheese bread was toasted pretty well and good flavor but not that impressive. The pizza was cooked to perfection. The crust was evenly cooked and crunchy around the edges. Just the perfect amount of cheese and sauce. Then we get to the pepperoni which was by far one of the best pepperoni I have ever had. Once cooked it curls around the edges forming these little cups with a little crisp out of this world. If you ever get the chance and are around the area you must stop in and don't leave because its a little busy. Stay and enjoy what I think is one of the best pizzas in Miami.
(5)Mike C.
the very best pizza and rolls in the tri county area in my opinion, fantastic food and the place is a total hole in the wall but its all part of the experience..i come here every time im in north miami #nomcity
(5)Caren L.
Old, heated-up pizza that takes at least 10 minutes to get a simple slice. The employees are rude, the men who make the pizza only care about quantity of sales, not quality of production. The sauce is minimal, and the place has no room for people to wait for take-out orders. I wouldn't recommend this plzza to anyone.

I had a hankering for calzone last night and figured I would give Steve's another try since it has been over a year since I have ordered from them. I ordered one large pie w/Canadian bacon and garlic, one calzone w/Canadian bacon and garlic and six garlic rolls. I requested the pie be well done and crisp. $38.00 and change plus a $5.00 cash tip. In my humble opinion, a good NY Style pizza should be thin, crisp around the edges and on the bottom and almost crack in a straight line when picked up and folded. The tomato sauce should be thick and slightly acidic leaving a quarter size puddle of dripped oil in the plate when finished eating a slice and the cheese should be fresh, as should any other topping. For those that want a thicker crust and sweeter taste there is Sicilian Style pizza. My order arrived in 33 minutes. First glance of the pizza looked pretty good. The top was nice and brown and the dough edges were nice and puffy and golden and the sauce wasn't too sweet once I got it into a plate and tasted it. The good stops there. The bottom of the pizza was way too thick absolutely raw, the Canadian bacon was sliced way too thick and the garlic was just thrown on in piles. The same thing happened last time I ordered only that time I called, spoke to the manager and was told "we're very busy". I guess they were very busy this time too. The calzone. I wish I would have looked at this before I paid because I would have sent the entire order back. I haven't gotten a decent pizza from Steve's in a long time but, I have always seemed to get decent and consistent calzone. This thing looked like it had been made in a Panini press. They actually flipped a calzone. When I cut into it the dough throughout was at least 1/4" thick and in some places 3/8". The dough was raw inside and the cheese barely warm, forget about melted. The garlic rolls look and taste like something bought in bulk. I have always heard that the key to a restaurants success starts with quality ingredients and consistency. Steve's sure has the consistency part down pat. I will NEVER order from Steve's again.
(1)Ivan H.
I've been to Steve's many times over the last 2 years. The quality has definitely fell off big time. I was so disappointed with my last pizza it really makes me not want to go back. I ordered a large pizza w/ pepperoni , fresh garlic, and basil. The pizza was very soggy and swamped in cheese. It was not baked long enough either; I wish I would have noticed that before I left. The pepperoni was below average quality but I never thought it was that great to begin with. I don't really have much to say about the basil and There wasn't a lot of fresh garlic. The dough did not taste the same and I'm the type where if I don't like my experience at a restaurant or pizza place, I won't go back. At least for a while I won't.
(2)Edwin S.
This is the best simple pizza in Miami. I'm always calling ahead when I find myself passing by to grab a slice quickly. Also a huge fan of the baked ziti with chicken and peperocino or the garlic bread with cheese.
(5)Adam S.
**UPDATE** Have been back multiple times and this place is clearly 4 stars and some of the better pizza in the Miami area. I really struggled to decide whether to give this place 3 or 4 stars, but I ultimately went with three because I felt that the flaws ultimately outweighed its strengths. This place is kind of a disaster in terms of its set-up. It's slow moving and people are all kind of bunched up near the front of the restaurant. I got slices here. First, I'll say what I liked. I love that they have salami as a topping. My favorite topping combo is salami and pepperoni and it is relatively rare to find a place that offers it. Second, I thought the sauce was good. It was a sweeter sauce than most places, but it tasted good. As for what I didn't like, the pizza was overcooked. As a result, the pizza lacked the floppiness of the thin-style pizza that I like. In other words, it was too crunchy. The place was packed so that probably factored into it. I would be curious to get an entire pizza because that may have helped with the texture. I may try that at some point. I won't go out of my way to come back though.
(4)Julie W.
Just ok. Sauces is too sweet prices are high and it's just so-so. I don't know what all the hype is about?!
(3)Bianca P.
Service is usually pretty bad especially when they answer the phone but the pizza is amazing. If you haven't tried it please go. The sweet sauce is the secret.
(4)Michael F.
I have 10 people in line in front of me and it is taking forever. If I didn't call my order in already I would have left. The worst service I ever saw. Never again! The pizza sucked. I am guessing they are using cheap ingredients now to maximize profits. I think the secret of getting customers back is all the sugar they put in the sauce.
(1)Diana S.
Awesome place my kids love coming here they have really good pizzas and the sub's are great also the price and the service is good, the only thing i don't like is the place is small and it gets pretty full at times so there's no place to sit other option take out.
(4)Dan O.
I've been to Steve's 3 times now, and that's certainly not enough. This is now my go to place when it happens to be 1AM after a gig in Miami and I'm hungry enough to consider Denny's (yes, that hungry). The pizza is crispy, but not tooooo crispy. Just right. Great sauce, fresh toppings (generously piled on, I should add). There are no shortage of crappy pizza places in South Florida, and too few great ones. This is a great one. The leftovers were delicious the next day too. This little dive gets really busy even late at night, so you may have to wait. But your reward for waiting is total pizza satisfaction, and what more do you want out of life, eh?
(5)Slick P.
Blah, waited over a hour and it was cold, the breads too. Called to complain and the girl said thanks and hung up, didn't even care.
(2)Jack G.
always a great slice
(4)Jessica P.
recently got a pizza from there a large cheese, was awful it was so under cooked it made all of us sick and I've been eating there for years but the last few times it was no good. Maybe it's because they change the pizza makers all the time or something IDK.
(1)Compton H.
I've been coming to Steve's since I was in middle school and to this day, I have to travel outside of the city to find better pizza. In fact, I think I will be going there today.
(5)David M.
Steve's Pizza has been the better part of my diet at least once per week. Not too keen on other menu items, but their cheese pizza is the best I've eaten in all of Miami thusfar, and I've had many. It's open late, until 3 a.m. on week nights, 4 a.m. on weekends. Steve's definitely has got a youth vibe to it: graffiti-covered walls and booths, arcade machines and a New Times stand ;] The cheese pizza is $13.93 for a large, and takes about 20 min until it's ready to eat, which is standard. The service is good but they don't have wait staff, you have to order at the counter and they bring it out to you. This is where the locals eat.
(5)Dewey C.
Steve's Pizza at one time had a good to better than good product, but the two largish pies we had were awful. They were not cooked, the cheese was like glue and the wait was an hour. Def Not Our Style Dear
(1)Gissela C.
I used to go there since I was a teen. I live in kendall I make the trip when I want to eat a great pizza my kids love it
(5)Elizabeth M.
This pizza is everything I have hoped for dreamed of and then some living here in South Florida. I left NYC thinking that I would never again eat pizza, that is until I came here. The restaurant is even nostalgic and feels just like home! I don't live in the area, but the trip to this place is well worth the drive for a slice.
(5)Daniella S.
I often hear Steve's pizza is the closest thing in Miami to a NY pizza, I'm gonna say close but no cigar. The pizza is great, PIPING HOT though! The location is really cute but very small, therefore difficult to find a seat. It also doesn't help that the wait is rough and they often get the order wrong.. BUT I am a repeat customer. Just not too often. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area. Or do the smart thing and order in advance, harder to be disappointed this way.
(4)P G.
Decided to try this place out one more time. The first time I tried to order a delivery from them but they wouldn't deliver to my address despite me living only 3.8 miles away. I keep hearing good things about them so this time I decided to order a pizza and then pick it up. I ordered a regular large pizza with 4-5 toppings and they wanted to charge me $35 for it. I told them forget it and canceled my order. I've never heard of a place charging $35 for a large pizza before. I'll stick with regular dominos before I give this overrated pizza joint my business.
(1)Laz T.
This place has a huge following and is usually packed with patrons pursuing pizzas. I get it. Here's the thing: the sauce is sweet. Very sweet. Actually, there should be a sign posted on the door. That's how sweet the sauce is. I understand that Steve's is a North Miami staple. It just seems to me that it's because of the location and good ol' fashioned "pizza place" ambiance; not the pizza itself. You can have the graffiti on the seats, candy machines, and old video game cabinets to make a place look like a "pizza joint" but the pizza should back all that up. Steve's fell short of that. New York pizza it is not.
(3)Greg L.
Haven't found a better Pizza in Miami. It's consistently great! Delivery service sucks the driver will not bring it up to my condo but instead insists that I come downstairs to pick it up from him, I don't tip him for being such a lazy ass. If you want good pizza in NMB this is the place.
(5)Leonard I.
I can say this pizza joint is really good after driving by a couple of times decided to try it out. The place is small and all walls have signatures on them which makes it cool. The pizza is really fresh and good that every bite makes it worthwhile there slices are big and they stand by there word of you've tried the rest now try the best. Hands down best pizza almost like the one in Cosmo in Vegas. Overall will be back when I visit again.
(5)B Lauren S.
So I've been here a million times yet haven't written a review! But had lunch there yesterday...and want more today!! If youre ever in miami, you have to go to steves! The pizza slices are huge, and amazing. I switch it up often but usually go back to the pepperoni. They're the little ones :) .. There's parking, which always sells me! The food comes out pretty quick and the service is awesome! ! Oh.. and definitely try their garlic rolls... and try not to soak up every last bit!
(5)J L.
Overrated. One notch above Dominos. Not crispy when asked to crisp it. Bland taste. I'm from NY. All the reviews saying its like NY pizza obviously never had real NY pizza.
(1)Tiffany H.
Our local friend took us out here for a late 1am dinner. The place itself is really small and there was quite a wait even at that hour. But, so worth it. You could watch the two pizza makers in the back cranking out these pizzas like no other. They seriously need a tip jar. I ordered 1 slice of cheese & 1 slice of Steve's special. These thin crust slices were HUGE. And like others have mentioned, the tomato sauce makes the pizza. And there's a great ratio of sauce to cheese. And Steve's Special is basically like Petrillo's pizza but on a thin crust. The thin crust could barely hold up all the toppings but it was a deliciously messy experience.
(5)Arthur G.
This is where to go after 1 am when you need to eat. It looks like a dive, it's got a ton of personality within such a small place. I

Tried to place a delivery order to Steve's recently. Halfway through the process, I got disconnected. I called back and was told, with an attitude, "Sorry buddy, it's raining here." I guess I wasn't disconnected, but hung up on. I then asked why I was hung up on instead of being told this, asked to speak to the manager on duty. I was transferred to a woman whom again asked "Pickup or Delivery?" I questioned why I couldn't recieve a delivery, "Does the driver use a motorbike or something?" I was told no, but he wouldn't deliver in the rain. I live but a few blocks from Steve's. I stepped onto my balcony just in time to hear the rain start, which lasted about 4 minutes. This is Miami, rain comes and goes as often as a light switch is turned on and off. I told them I would find a place that was capable of delivering in the rain and was hung up on again. What bugs me is the unprofessional manner in which the situation was handled. I don't even think that was a manager I spoke to. Needless to say, I won't be giving Steve's any more of my business. Your pies are okay at best (tooo sweet/sugary), but my most recent experience with your customer service was abysmal. I tried ordering here because my favorite place is closed at the hour. I work in the restaurant industry. Try Mario's Pizza & Pasta on 123rd, 2 blocks away. I grew up in Jersey and got to experience NY style pizza from all over the tri-state area. Steve's is good for Miami, but if authentic NY is what you want, Mario's takes the cake.. err.. pie. Along with better pizza comes better customer service. Thanks a bunch Steve's; have a chat with your staff and you won't lose customers over preventible issues such as this.
(1)Fernanda T.
For when you are craving that perfect NY slice
(4)Addy R.
Best pizza ever! (It magically tastes better after 3AM) just keep an eye out with your credit card statement. They sometimes charge a dollar or 3 more than the tip you write down. It's happened to me twice.
(4)Roberto Z.
Had high expectations for these pizzas. ordered delivery, one cheese pizza and one "meat lovers". The pizzas arrived on time. The meat lovers was terrible. the meats were piled on sections of the pizza, just awfull. both pizzas were made with no love or care.
(2)Christian J.
I like this place. The pizza is definitely above average taste and quality. The space is also pretty cool. BUT they do something that, personally, I don't like. When I've ordered a slice of "specialty" pizza (the Steve's Special and Vegetable special), all the toppings come piled on top in a miniature mountain. The toppings themselves don't taste impressive, and are also huge. This makes it difficult to eat the toppings AS TOPPINGS. You end up needing to use a fork to eat them up before getting to any cheese. It's pretty annoying. I'll be back for some slices of pepperoni though.
(3)Marishka W.
It was do much more tasty gets ago. I guess changing cooks makes a difference. Ah it's ok. Just not as great as in the years past
(3)Cristina L.
Normally I love Steve's it's one of the reasons why I would drive way out of my way (all the way from Coral Gables) just for pizza but this past experience left a bitter taste in my mouth. I was ordering an usually large amount of pizza and decided to call ahead so I wouldn't have to wait as long. Not only was I placed on hold for over 7 minutes but when we got there the young lady at the counter obviously had no idea what customer service is. After clearly repeating my order to her on the phone she still got my pizzas all wrong. Although your pizzas taste great, you've really got to step up your customer service. Definitely thinking twice before heading to Steve's again.
(3)Erica V.
Best pizza in Miami- (second best is Miami's best pizza in Coral Gables) I love Steve's. I have been coming here for years and I always order the same foolproof item from the menu- slice of cheese- The single slices are the best because they make the whole pizza and then reheat them in the oven and they come out perfectly crispy. The crust is perfect, not to thin, not to thick. The sauce is slightly sweet. The cheese is simple and just enough. Garlic rolls to share are also delicious- but don't kiss anyone after. One mistake- ordering toppings- some people like the toppings but in my opinion they overload the toppings too much and the pizza sometimes comes out soggy. limit the toppings to 1 or 2. Don't judge the pizza place by the graffiti walls and decor that needs to be fixed up- the pizza is perfect and also well priced.
(5)A K.
I'm from ny so I know good pizza and my pie was soggy and not crispy, very different from what I'm used to, I would much rather go across the street to evios where they make thin crispy delicious pizza that tastes like authentic ny pizza, Steve's is open late but that's about the only good thing...why do u think it's all drunk people eating there?
(1)Jesus R.
The former champ. Now, the number one contender. The sweet sauce is perfect. The crust, when done right, is nice and crispy. The pepperoni is nice and spicy, and the service is no nonsense. The only reason it's not a five anymore is because it's maddeningly inconsistent. At times, it's better than any I've ever had. Other times, it's just a glop barely better than chain pizzas. However, most of the time it's somewhere in the middle, but closer to great. Once in a while, the elements are just right and BAM, best slice you'll ever eat.
(4)Thomas F.
Good points: Open until the wee hours of the night*sweet tasting sauce on pizza*pepperoni**antipasto salad has good quality meats***fast service**attracts all sorts of peeps Bad points: Unappetizing, filthy looking joint*Rest rooms are older and dirtier than those at a gas station**Floor is hideous and looks about 30 years old**Stained ceiling panels***Dust all on top of used arcade machines***Employees leave just made pizza and food on counter where random customers hover over it while waiting for their orders**Please wipe tables after customers' leave, people!***broken table(s)***garbage cans always full***Slices become stiff and not that good warmed up and pizza is not consistently good**
(3)Johana B.
I've been coming here for years and I am still in love. The best pizza in town and the hours are amazing for any of you night owls. Prices suit anyone balling on a budget and you will leave stuffed. So happy Steve's is so close to my house, such a hidden gem.
(5)Noah W.
Went here last night, and was EXTREMELY disappointed. My friend and I ordered the most basic thing you can ask for at a pizza place, two slices of cheese pizza. After about 15 minutes of waiting, she went up and asked if maybe the order had been overlooked. The rude man behind the counter said "just listen for your name" and pointed to his own ears. Oh is that how it works? She went up two more times and both times they rudely told her to just wait and that her order would be up soon. After waiting just under an hour, I went up and said "I think there's been a mistake, it's been nearly an hour and we still don't have our food." It was only then that they took the two seconds it took to scan the tickets and see that we were right all along, and that our order was overlooked. It's more than understandable that at a busy place, a person's ticket might get overlooked. It is not okay to REPEATEDLY be dismissive and condescending to a female patron of your establishment, this is pandemic to our society. A female is routinely told to "just listen", but as soon as a male presents the same question, people actually take the time to listen? This experience left me saddened and disturbed over the kind of disregard some people in our society face. I would like to add that the girl taking orders and operating the register was very nice and the only one who appeared to be on top of things. I think maybe had she not been busy on the phone taking orders she'd have helped us rectify the situation much sooner. Please take this into consideration.
(1)krista L.
how do you say it... DELICIOUS... yes, it's so good. i did however once cut this place off, but i'll tell you about that in a sec. the pizza is fabulous. it has a sweet marinara sauce that complements the cheese and the crust so well! the crust is nice and crisp and the cheese bubbles up and browns a bit on the edges. their pepperoni is amazing. it's the small REAL pepperoni that curls up after it's cooked. a little grease pools up inside of it and fills your mouth with flavor! their garlic rolls are great too, so garlicky and fresh. the calzones are served with their special marinara. they are cheesy and full instead of some places that only put the stuffing in the center and then you get all the crust around the edges that is half way inedible. their antipasta is my favorite that i've ever had. it's full of meat and cheese and their dressing makes the whole thing, tangy and tasty. so, the story...the reason that good ole' steve got cut off is because they charge an arm and a leg compared to other pizza places that we've ordered delivery from. we once ordered delivery because we were in no shape to drive there, even though it was only 2 miles away. they charge a $6 delivery fee to go over the bridge into bay harbour! wow, 2 miles, dude! after we paid a whopping $45 for pizza, antipasta, garlic rolls and delivery, that was the end of it for us. we started ordering papa johns and moncheese from surfside. however, we eventually ended up crawling back to our buddy steve groveling and asking for forgiveness because the pizza is just that good. but we did stop having it delivered, we just couldn't condone that spending.
(5)Martin O.
The thick crust pizza is good, the wait is never that long, the service is usually very good. You can also get single slices to order, just like NY. It always seems to be crowded and there is a small number of tables to sit at. Especially on weekends when the teenagers with the munchies drop in after a night on the town. This place was open immediately after the hurricane (with their generators) and there was a line almost around the building to get your pizza.

i like the cheeze pizza there, simply a plain little pizza place .

steves pizza is a N miami beach landmarck the pizza its not the best but i hold it high in my liking the fact that they have DR browns sodas make it better

best pizza in Miami...meatballs and garlic rolls are awsome
(5)Stefanie R.
The best pizza I've had since I've moved to South Florida. Its NY style but its better than all the NY style pizza places I've tried here. The crust was perfect and they pile the toppings on the pizza that by the time you get it some of it is falling off. ITs so good though. And it also comes nice and hot. They are open late some days til 4am some days till 2am. Try this place you won't be disappointed.
(5)liketo e.
The best pizza is north miami beach by far!
(4)Brian N.
Best Pizza in Florida, bar none. Get the garlic rolls, they are wonderful. A small place that will always be a part of North Miami. Sure Mario the Baker is great, but Steves does it for me every time.
(5)Nathalie B.
I've been coming to Steve's Pizza for about 16 years. In fact, at one point my picture was even on the wall! IMO Steve's Pizza is by far one of the best (if not THE best) pizza in South Florida. I will admit that Steve's is rough around the edges, to put it nicely. If you're looking for great customer service or a friendly smile when you order your pie, then Steve's Pizza is NOT for you. Don't bother even driving by there. Let's face it, they are there to make pizza, not be your friend. So if you're offended by the fact that the girl at the register didn't sing your praises when you ordered your pie then you've definitely walked into the wrong place. Now, if you want an amazing life-changing pizza then Steve's is DEFINITELY for you. The sauce is sweet, the dough is PERFECT. And the pepperoni, mmm mmm mmm. I will continue coming to Steve's for as long as they are open. And I recommend it to all my friends, with the disclosure that the customer service sucks. But that's ok, cause the pizza is worth the eyeroll from the ladies at the register.
(5)Jilli C.
This is an update to my previously glowing review about 'Steve's'. While I'm still a fan of their pizza, I've noticed some glaring quality control issues with their food. On my last two visits, the plastic casing of the pepperoni was left on the entire pizza. We took the pizza back to the restaurant to point out that half the pizza is covered in plastic and the check-out girl argued that "this is how it should be. That casing is edible. That's how the pizza always is.". After all the times I've eaten at Steve's, i know that this is not how the pizza always is. Also, this plastic was so thick and foreign to food, it was insulting. Instead of graciously admitting their mistake, the check-out girl argued and argued about it. That right there is the reason for the low-review. That argumentative check-out girl took their review from 5 stars to 1 begrudging one. My advice to Steve: Control the quality of your food and if in the wrong don't argue about it. You lost a weekly customer.
(1)Shaun D.
Great local pizza spot! This is a tiny hole-in-the-wall establishment, with LOTS of character. The staff is friendly, yet has a certain edge as well. They're definitely fit the ambiance Steve's portrays. Then again, if you're not up for the adventure, but you still want some of this delicious pizza, you're in luck, because Steve's delivers. Rest assured, each time you visit Steve's (or have it delivered), you're in for the same quality food. The flavors are reliable/consistent and you always know what you're going to get here! P.S. If you get pizza by the slice, be aware, they're HUGE.
(4)Jeff G.
This used to be one of my favorites in Miami, but lately it's been lackluster and sort of pricey. That isn't my problem though, the real problem is that I and a few people I know have gotten violently ill after eating here. My experience was a few years ago, but I remember it vividly. I won't go into details but it left me in bed for a few days. I have been back only a couple of times since without incident but my friend is still recovering from her experience over the weekend, I'm not planning on going back until they learn safe food storage.
(2)Peter H.
I never thought in a MILLON years I'd be writing a review like this for my beloved Steve's. But i have HAD it! Ive called and complained for months and months, recieved credit after credit. But its official, you have sunken to a new low. You cant keep living off your rep. The product you are putting out is sub par Miami garbage! I wont be ordering from you for awhile. As much as it pains me. I have talked you up to everyone, and even defended you. But no more. How the hell do you send this out? This is a margherita slice? Allie, start paying attention to your business! Your competitors are catching up! Joes Old School and Kings County are passing you by. Im crushed!

Great pizza but the service is slow the cheese pizza is A1 but the pepperoni is to greasy

Called Steve's Pizza yesterday and today to place an order of over 100 pizzas for a catering event next week. Asked for the manager and was told there was none, to try the next day. Called again and cashier was rude and said there are no managers, the owner never comes in and the employees run the place. Decided to take my business elsewhere.
(1)Manny Z.
This is place has the worse pizza ever! And these fucking pizza guys are fucking rude. They speak Spanish talking crap and I'm Hispanic so I can hear and understand everything! There was a mistake on the way it was ordered and made. I was made to feel like a fucking asshole! I will never come back to this fucking joint again? Fucking Rookies!!! Worse pizza ever GO to Andiamos instead!

Delicious local pizza spot. Very casual environment, graffiti on the walls, arcade games, and Red Hot Chili Peppers on the radio. The pizza is NY style and the slices are big and cheap.

Went to Steves Pizza on sunday 7/19 (ive been ordering here for years.) Cashier was very rude and gave me an attitude. Also charged me the incorrect amount cause she "thought" she heard the wrong name. didnt even apologize. I love their Pizza so its a shame the cashier Loni was so rude and nasty.

Maybe the hype was imbedded in my head. Out first time at Steve's, we ordered two large pizzas which we ordered for take out, cost nearly $50! I don't mind spending the money if the quality is there, but once I had told people I wasn't a big fan, I was often told to come back and to try their slices... Now I am here, with two slices of pepperoni, a cheese, three garlic rolls, and a fountain drink, all totaling around $15. I'm excited. But once again, I can't imagine why people compare this place to NY pizza. It was so greasy, I had to throw half of it away. When I picked up my slice, all of the grease poured off of it. Not dripped but like a fountain it poured. Not only that, the sauce was too sweet for my liking. Won't come back.

For some time their sauce went bland. I said something, they brought their sweet robust tasty sauce back. Therefore they have me again for life!!! I absolutely love this pizza. I usually get cheese only but next time I'll get some meatball & onion on my slice!!!!

Steves pizza has been coming with bits of plastic baked into it lately Apparently theyve forgotten to remove the casing from the pepperoni before using it so each pepperoni is edged in baked on plastic. Happened twice in 2 months. Returned one of the pizzas and the lady at the register tried to convince me that's how it was supposed to be. Why that casing is food grade! Thats how it always is. I showed her some of the plastic i peeled off. She replies slowly "And you got that off the pizza??" "Yes, maam". Silence. Smh. Steve's! Do better! Until you do, can't recommend

With high expectations from all the hype, this was a let-down. Very crowded, with long lines, and a very long wait after placing our eat-in order of a pizza and rolls, we were ready to chow down by the time we got our food. It was ok, but not exceptional. The crust was oddly pasty, and the sauce was very sweet, to the point of distraction. I don't see a reason to return. It was that unexceptional.

I ALMOST LOST A TOOTH! I don't even want to put one star; that's one star too many. This place deserves a negative star for the penny I found in my pizza and for the horrible customer service I received from the absolute worst staff at this joint. I was about to finish my pizza when I bit down and almost lost a tooth to the penny I found. I went inside just to let the staff know what I found; I didn't ask for my money back, and I didn't complain. I just wanted them to know, and you know what I got in return? I got accused of putting my own money in the pizza I just bought. ARE YOU SERIOUS? They argued with me back and forth on how the penny had gotten there. The guy that made the pizza looked at me and said " I put toppings on your pizza, not pennys." To top this experience off, he finished the conversation by saying "Hey, I'm not your maid, the trash is over there." I WILL NEVER bring my business back to this joint, and I WILL NOT recommend this place to anyone. Not because of the food, or even the penny that almost broke my tooth off, but I will never come back here because of the horrendous staff and horrible customer service. worst place ever.

PENNY IN MY PIZZA!!!!!! WORST PLACE EVER I don't even know where to start with this wretched place! My friend was raving about this place so I came here for lunch. I ordered pepperoni, he ordered the meat lovers pizza. It was okay I guess, until my friend found a cooked penny in his pizza. He went inside just to bring awareness to the fact that he chomped down on a penny that could have possibly broken his tooth. We didn't ask for a refund, we didn't complain, and the first thing that came out of the cashier's mouth was an accusation. She accused my friend of putting his own change in his pizza. The guy actually making the pizza said "i put toppings on your pizza, not pennys." WHAT KIND OF SERVICE IS THIS? Then, to make this even better, the guy behind the counter pointed at the garbage and said "I'm not your maid, the trash is over there." Have these people ever heard of customer service? EVER? By far the WORST experience ever. I will never bring my business back to this place and I will NEVER recommend this spot to anyone. I don't even care about the penny, the customer service was horrendous and left a huge impression on me. Oh yea, they didn't apologize either!

I use to be a Steve's fan but no longer. Their sauce is too sweet for my taste. I'm from New England, where there are many great pizza parlors... so I think I am a pretty good judge of what constitutes a good pizza. Pizza isn't suppose to be sweet. If that wasn't bad enough when I ordered the pizza, I made it very clear I wanted the pizza crispy, well done, and what I got was doughy and just barely cooked. Wish I had known that before I left the restaurant. I got it home and then found out it was not cooked as I had requested. Since I use to like Steve's, I decided to give it another try and the same thing happened. They don't listen or don't care, not sure which. I won't waste my money there again. Ronni R

Good pizza, the wait is a little long but it is worth it for the pizza. I usually do pizza pickup as opposed to eating in
(4)Kristin F.
Old school pizza joint. Best pizza around! Small inside, but there's additional seating outside. We've never been disappointed here! They serve bottled drinks, including beer.
(5)Garrison S.
This well-known staple of Miami's pizza hasn't changed since I was a kid. Their pizzas are probably the best ones in Miami, New York style with lots of basil in their tomato sauce if you need a sweet taste! Go back in time as you sit on their banquets which have classic arcade games such as Miss Pac-Man and centipede. This place literally has not changed since I was a little kid and I'm thankful for it.
(5)Robert D.
Amazing Pizza! Walked in to a line 20 people deep. Line moved incredibly fast and Pizza was every bit worth twice the wait.
(5)Emily C.
I love this pizza. It's hard to find good pizza in Miami. This pizza is great. It's similar to New York style pizza. It's a small place with outdoor seating and fresh basil planted in pots and other fresh herbs you could add to your pizza.
(5)Cherie Q.
Amazing pizza perfect place to have a date or just hangout with friends and enjoy dinner this place is great best pizza in miami
(5)Maleek W.
Best NYC style pizza in Miami. Big slices and great late night spot! A little pricey but well worth it. Definitely very generous with toppings!
(4)Andy T.
Good food, but too bad the place has a pizza guy with such a bad attitud (guy with the argentinian accent). For me friendlyness is half the stars on a place.
(3)Brantford W.
I've been going here since I was a child. Whether it's a quick slice between meetings or 3 slices at 2am, this is your place for pizza in north Miami. My advice is to order by the slice instead of by the pie. Also, if you're getting it delivered, you're missing out on the environment & freshness. This isn't Pappa johns. *great music too.
(5)Michelle E.
So I just came back from Steve's Pizza and I have to say it was really good. I think what really sets the pizza aside from other pizza places is the sauce! I don't know what it was but it had this sweet taste. I was amazed!!! We got the meat lovers pie, it came with sausage, pepperoni, and ham. (We took out the meatballs) The ham and sausage pieces weren't really cut very small but it didnt really bother me. The pie came with 8 slices but me and my boyfriend couldn't finish :-( Portion of the slices are very big in my opinion. Next time I will be getting 2 slices only.
(4)Chris C.
Stayed at the Best Western. I've been to Miami a bunch of times but I had not found a really good place to eat. This place will definitely be a stop on my return trips.
(5)Chris C.
The 1st time that I came here the pizza was pretty tasty BUT within the last few times that I bought a slice of pizza here it was HORRIBLE. Yo! I grew up in New York City and I heard this place was the joint but LATELY the pizza is undercooked, raw, hardly any sauce or a lot sauce with no cheese....I mean, dang! Steve, take more pride in your pizza slices like most New yorker do... **Note: This place is excellent for taking a late night date here....you know, someone who doesn't know anything about having a GOOD slice of pizza. Check it, normally the sauce is nice and sweet and the pepperoni is freshly done but NO... when I ordered two slices of pizza...I had to take BOTH of them back to be cooked because it was RAW...and the girl at the counter had the Nerve to tell me "it depends on who cooks the pizza that day...some cook it well done and others cook it not so well done.." No apology, no real service skills.....REALLY!!!, lady...just hire someone who's consistent at making REAL pizza!!!! I mean, is it called "Steve's Pizza" or called "Joe's, Jimmy's, Billy's or whoever is working that day...Pizza" I shouldn't have to tell you how to make pizza back there!!!! MAN!...I'm NEVER coming back here EVER AGAIN!!!! This place Sucks...just rename it "Steve's Raw Pizza" Don't waste your time here...
(1)Ron B.
I have gone here before, and the pizza was okay but now....... The pizza was so full of grease that it soaked through the paper plate, the pepperoni did not even adhere to the cheese. Sanitation is obviously not a priority there anymore
(2)Leila A.
Holy crap balls....This is THE best pizza in South Florida. The pizza sauce is unbelievable! I love the little pepperoni. Well worth the 30 minute trip I make.
(5)Richard K.
I am relieved to read that others had such a terrible experience, I was working in the area and remembered how much I enjoyed their pizza. I order 2 slices and a drink normally 5-6 bucks any where else, $10 bucks here. Ok, I was hungry and there already. What I got was a grease pit of thin soggy something with uncooked pepperonis on top, Horrible, I brought one slice back and they remade it with some attitude, It came out the same,.Whoever bought it knows zero about pizza or customer service. Never again Take a pass until they again earn our business
(1)Gary A.
Awesome greasy pizza, really epitomizes what comfort food pizza should be, oh and best yet, they have Dr Browns cream soda! Baked ziti is also really good. Not to mention late night hrs :p
(5)Jassmine Charlie Y.
This place used to have the best pizza and garlic rolls...my family and I ordered a veggie pizza, supreme and Canadian bacon and pineapple pizza and neither one was to rave about. The veggie pizza was covered in an overwhelming amount of green bell peppers and the supreme was covered in green bell peppers and onions as well. We will definitely not be coming back here.
(1)Casey F.
Why say you deliver until 3am if when a customer calls at midnight you tell them "we're not delivering to there"... I live 20 blocks north of Steve's and the very rude b-word who answers the phone gets pleasure out of telling people she's not sending a driver that way. Here's a tip, Steve, if you don't have drivers; don't offer delivery.
(1)Michael O.
Steve's Pizza is a legend in Miami. People speak of it with reverence. The husband of a coworker of mine will drive from north Broward county just to pick up a pizza from this place. Honestly, I don't know how I ever lived in Miami for eleven years without ever eating or ordering from this place, given how much it had been talked up to me. Reality was disappointing. The order started to go wrong when the delivery guy couldn't seem to work out that NE 123rd street and NE 125th Street are the same street, but that the name of the street changes once you get past 14th Avenue. But honestly, the lukewarm pizza I was left with actually tasted a great deal like a Red Baron oven-rise pizza that I might have baked myself. The pepperoni was the tiny, nickel-sized kind, you know the deal, the ones that curl upwards in the oven and form a sort of cup for all the grease that is cooked out of the meat. I wolfed it down but only because I was completely starving at the time I ordered, a fair bit more so after the wait and flagging down the delivery. I had a frank chat with a buddy about Steve's Pizza and he tried to give me more of a lowdown: everybody loves Steve's Pizza for the fond memories of hanging out and screwing around there in the 80s, "when it was great." I can picture everyone driving around town, from home, to the malls, to the skating rink, and then to Steve's Pizza. I kinda have to imagine it having a better pizza, but my buddy fully admitted "it isn't what it used to be," but everyone wants it to be that way again. But longtime nostalgia can't feed a Tennessee transplant. To Steve's credit, the shop is open very late, but I'm quite glad that East Side is closer to my home, because it's still easily my first pick, I'll go with them every time not even questioning my reflexes. Even Andiamo's is ten times better. I'll perhaps give Steve another shot someday, hopefully I just picked a bad day.
(2)Andi T.
One word. Delicious. If you enjoy New York style pizza, you should visit one of their locations. Has the feel of a charming, family-run pizzeria. I usually do take out. Staff was friendly and quickly got the pizza to me. Worth trying!
(4)Jessie S.
Steve's Pizza brings back fond memories, and never disappoints. When you walk in and order, you always know exactly what you're going to get - delicious New York style pizza. The sweet tomato sauce makes my mouth water just thinking about it. There is nothing like a slice of pizza, a beer, and some good friends to carve your name into the wall with. I'm a fork and knife pizza kind of girl, but Steve's gets me to pick it up and fold it in half without thinking twice. Seating can be kind of tricky - it gets packed and a little cramped, so make sure to get there and have a friend grab a table. Voted Best Pizza by New Times this year - and it was definitely earned!
(5)Danny C.
Best pizza in Miami! Been eating pizza there for 10+ years, I usually never eat pizza unless it's steves! I recommend the pepperoni & mushroom pizza
(5)Marlo L.
So good!! Not a fan of their brand of pepperoni, but the slices are OK. I like that they are open super late.
(4)Glenda F.
As a former New Yorker and Life time fatboy.lol .. I can tell you this is as close to an NYC slice of pizza your gonna get in miami. The crust was crunchy...the sauce was sweet n the service was fast. 2 slices with drinks under 10 bucks... only one concern was that I overheard the chefs laughing and talking about a customer in spanish... I did not like that so much.. but I'm there for good pizza, so I shrugged it off and ate my delicious slice...
(4)Summer E.
Everything at Steve's is really really good... The pizza may not be the best of ever had but it's still very delicious. Also this place is open really late perfect for munchies or any midnight cravings.
(4)Kristen L.
Been here a couple of times, both times, memorable. One bite of garlic rolls and I immediately felt high. Garlic seeping through my pores. Best pizza on the Biscayne strip; best garlic rolls in Miami. Budwiser is the only draft from what I recall. I love this place. It is open late and hits the spot.
(4)Ruth H.
Hey, I think this pizza joint may have been vandalized??? Every single time I visit, there is graffiti all over the whole place. Weird. Otherwise, great sauce.
(3)Emily P.
Not good pizza. The sauce tastes like Ragu pasta sauce. Strangely sweet. The pizza was a mess with no cheese 3 inches from the crust and the whole thing was soggy. There was no love put into this pizza. I've had better pizza at Pizza Hut.
(1)Denisse D.
You know despite what people say about this place, I like Steve's pizza. I'm surprised by the mixed reviews here. I do wish I can give them 3 1/2 though I've only had their pizza and found it to be right in target with what I want for a pizza. Have I had better pizza, well yea, but this place is good enough to make me drive here from Hialeah Gardens in the middle of the night, lol I've had their pepperoni and meatball, cheese and regular pepperoni. Each time has been yummy. Thin and toasty crust is the beez knees for me so I'm always a happy camper. Their sauce is a bit on the sweet side for me but when you add toppings it compensates. Give Steve's Pizza a try you won't be disappointed! Enjoy!
(3)Speider S.
It didn't take long for me to find a N.Y. style pizza after a couple of weeks in Miami. Thanks to my friend, Patricia, and a day of pizza joint hopping (slice here, slice there), Steve's was our final stop and well worth the wait! As with some of our other stops, the slices were the size of Imperial Star Destroyers but the best thing was the massive amount of toppings they heap onto a slice. All of this, served in a wonderful dive of a place (clean but decorated in early abandoned tenement) with a video game if you have any spare quarters. Dine outside for a more "Miami" experience. You can bet I'll be back every time I pay a visit to the Home Depot right next door... or when I'm traveling north on Biscayne... or I'm hungry... or want to play the video game. Just like New York without being shot in the leg!
(5)Ashley M.
The pizza here is delightful. Real deal delicious. Only critique is maybe too heavy on the toppings depending on your taste. I've only been here twice and only had the pizza. The first time was a late night, slightly tipsy experience. But now I'm convinced it's not a fluke. NY style thinnish crust, sweet sauce and a variety of toppings to choose from. Good vibes if you're planning to dine in. I think I will check out the stromboli or hoagies next.
(4)Alex D.
Was there couple weeks ago, good pizza , right price , guy on the kitchen is a rock star!!!
(5)Ali G.
The pizza here is really good! One of the best spots in south Florida. This is non commercial authentic pizza. The sauce has a sweetness to it that is great. I've never been dissatisfied here.
(5)Ahmed A.
I always order my pizza from Steve and I recommended the place to many friends. Few bourse ago, however, I had the worst pizza in my life! The crust was moist and undercooked -if cooked at all!!- to the point I suspected that they forgot to even cook it! I ordered a large veggie pizza, and I felt like I through my money into the toilet seat. If you still plan to eat there, have anything BUT the veggie pizza!
(1)Katherine D.
Steve's Pizza is always crowded and hailed as one of the best pizza places in Miami, so I was disappointed when it wasn't. I ordered a white pizza with spinach and Italian sausage, a specialty pizza but nothing so crazy that pizza places don't normally make. Most of the pizza was bread uncovered with the cheese and toppings, and it was baked so thinly that there were large air pockets of bread. I didn't pay for a specialty pizza to eat plain bread. I was disappointed and wont be returning.
(1)Carolina M.
Good pizza. And this is coming from a non pizza eater. To eat pizza for me, it has to be great. Little hole in the wall. Been going here for years . Good for late night. Fresh ingredients, good soups as well. There is parking and it is always crowded.A little sketchy and cramped inside but don't be put off by it.
(4)Josh J.
I enjoyed my experience. Anything about Steve's I didn't like was due to the fact that my personal preference is for Chicago style pizza, but Steve's makes New York style. The crust is high quality and very good, the sauce is somewhat sweet, the toppings are thinly sliced, and the cheese is delicious. The service is good with a reasonable wait time, especially short if you order by the slice. The pizza is a little bit pricey in my opinion. All in all, if you want New York style pizza, this is the place for you.
(4)Frank A.
The best NY pizza outside of NY. They are open until 3AM. Don't miss out on Steve's. Your wlecome!
(5)Danielle B.
Delicious late night pizza... okay, who am I kidding, Steve's pizza is delicious any time of the day. If you're eating in, I hope you're drunk enough to not notice how dive-y this place looks. Actually, it is somewhat fitting for stuffing pizza all over your face and not feeling guilty whatsoever. And yes, the pizza is delicious enough that you will be stuffing your face. Steve's somehow makes me forget my table manners. It must be something about the oversized slices or the abundance of toppings sliding over melty cheese. With that said, I recommend just taking the pizza to go. You won't be missing much by not dining here. Okay so back to the pizza. They serve thin crust NY-style. Get the Steve's Special! It's topped with pepperoni, sausage, meatball, green pepper, onion, mushroom, and anchovy on request (um, yes anchovies!). I can count on Steve's for a satisfying pizza and then just as satisfying leftovers!
(4)Rachel D.
If I could give zero stars, I would. Piss poor service. I used to come weekly and introduce my friends. Will no longer recommend or be a customer.
(1)Jasmine C.
I always order the same thing, cheese slide and garlic rolls. And they are always perfect! Love. My fav.
(4)Annabella F.
Very good pizza! They are in business for a very long time. Quality goes up and down but it's always one of the best pizzas around. The inside is still original like from when they just opened up. Even with the old arcades games. I prefer the mushroom pizza.
(5)Henry A.
NPS = 7 This is your standard pizza. Nothing over the top, nothing fancy...yet, nothing horrible either. The inside is very small, maybe holds 15-20 people at the most. You can, however, order your pizza and sit outside to enjoy the day if the weather is nice. As far as the pizza goes: it's....alright. Nothing sticks out in my mind about it, sadly. I mean... I would definitely come here as opposed to a Papa John's or a Pizza Hut. Steve's Pizza tastes better than that. But as far as competitive advantage goes...I think I have to say location? There are not many other pizza places in the area (at least that I know of or have heard of) that serve pizza like this. A slice costs about $2 and some change so you can't beat that. I went here with my girlfriend and we split a small pizza, half cheese and half pepperoni. It hit the spot and left us content. I wish I would have tried the garlic rolls. Another table had ordered the rolls and they looked delicious. The inside is completely "tagged" with Sharpie-graffiti and some might say it gives the location its character...I would not say I agree with that, but whatever. If you are in the area, are CRAVING pizza....I would say check out Steve's. The service is a SLOW but that is the tradeoff for getting a pizza made to order. Other than that, I really can't say much "popped" in terms of "wow" factor.
(3)Michelle T.
Have been to Steve's Pizza many times for the lunch specials. I go with my best friend on her lunch hour. The service is fast and the food is awesome! Can't beat the great prices for the lunch specials! Yum!
(5)Andy D.
Ate there for lunch. Had a salad and stromboli (both were very good). Came out to around $18 which I thought was a little expensive. I'd defnitely eat there again though.

(To be read in Don LaFontaine's mesmerizing baritone voice) "IN THE LAND OF SOUTH FLORIDA WHERE THE WEATHER AND BABES ARE HOT BUT THE PIZZA IS NOT, THERE COMES AN UNLIKELY HERO NAMED STEVE TO SAVE US FROM THE TERROR THAT IS PIZZA HUT." Steve's Pizza is so far, the best pizza I've had in the last 10 years in Miami. It was good and hit the spot, but I have yet to be truly wowed by a pizza pie here in State of Florida. Originally, I'm from New Jersey where THEE BEST pizza in the world can be found on every street corner, back alley and the boardwalk at The Shore. Steve's incorporates a similar Jersey style - super thin crust, greasy and loaded up with toppings so heavy that you need to use a fork and knife to devour it. The price was right too, about $12 for a medium meat lovers pie. My pizza-loving man of the house, Rigo R was blown away and could not stop shoving pizza in his face like a Hungry Hungry Hippo after their marbles. We agreed to just a few slices each before doing the grocery shopping at Whole Foods across the street and got a box to take some pizza home. While enjoying the rest of my Stella and watching the notoriously bad Miami drivers play bumper cars out on US1, he inhaled two more pieces and a box was no longer necessary. "Hey, don't let me hear you complaining about your muffin top later!" I exclaim at the top of my lungs (which drew some interesting looks from other patrons). Steve's is definitely a dive - a tiny place with graffiti on the walls. The tables are filthy which made me not even want to look in the bathroom. I was impressed by the selection of cold bottled beer in their fridge, but no bins were available to recycle these bottles. Parking was interesting - almost got into 2 or 3 accidents trying get in and out of the lot so be careful! Like I said, the pizza was good, but the crust could have been a little thicker and the toppings more evenly distributed instead of all lumped in the center of the pie. For heaven's sake, get with the times and have a bin available for recycling! "THE QUEST FOR GREAT PIZZA TO BE CONTINUED... "
(3)Mandy G.
I miss Steve's sweet tomato sauce, I wish we had it up here in the panhandle of florida
(5)Leo A.
Why I haven't shown Steve some love sooner is beyond me . Great pizza open late everyday beer and arcade games with graffiti or the wall
(5)Terra S.
I remember coming to Steve's late nights buzzed and in need of something to satisfy my tummy. Of course when you've been drink EVERYTHING taste better but my remmanensance is for the kudos to their late hours. The pizza itself is good. As of recently it seems as though the sauce is getting sweeter and sweeter which I'm not a fan of but its still not bad. I also order their minestrone soup which is pretty tasty. Only twice of the many times have I come here and there wasn't any available seating inside or outside (Bummer) but the joint isn't that large so I understand. If your getting slices the food is prepared quick fast and in a hurry, They yell your name and you come to the window to pick it up. The pricing can't be beat with a stick and after a slice and a bowl of soup I'm ready to call it a night. If its your first time here bring a sharpie and scavenge for an empty space to mark your territory. At any other establishment I would turn my nose to the "graffiti" but here it fits the atmosphere. Well worth a stop if in the area and craving a big slice of cheesy peezy... Pizza!
(4)Christie B.
Ambiance and entertainment? Five stars. Steve's is a local institution, and has the reputation of being a great neighborhood pizza joint. It's covered in pen graffiti and is a no frills no nonsense type of place. Reminded me of Blondie's in Berkeley but without the crabby attitude. For the price of admission (a slice) you can get all the entertainment you could possibly want. We were there on a Friday night and the place was packed with a line going out the door. I mention this not because the customers were the entertainment, but that the workers were. On a busy night like this, Steve's Pizza operates like a well oiled machine, with the cashier, dough thrower, pizza makers, and box assemblers all working in tandem and creating a poetry all their own. You have to go and watch the rhythm of the place--it's mesmerizing. Movements are deft, economical, and work in symmetry. One guy is throwing dough and pounding out the next pizza crust, then ladling sauce while the guy next to him ducks under his arm to grab toppings. Then a quick thrust of the pizza peel into the oven to bake the next one, while the dough guy pounds out another round of dough. A quick check of the oven to make sure the pizza isn't burning, then back to tossing out toppings. All the while, the box guy is folding pizza boxes with a graceful economy of movement that would put any assembly line machine to shame. Truly it's a sight to see, when all the pistons are firing and the workers are going full steam ahead. Now for the pizza....it's ok. Just ok. The sauce is way too sweet for my taste (I am in agreement with other reviewers who find it so), the toppings are generous in terms of portions but just ok in terms of flavor. But the crust is very nice. Light, airy, crunchy, and good. The crust at the edges has that nice bubbled up crusty texture, but the crust in the middle of the pizza suffers from sogginess. I don't know if this is a function of the sauce (too sauce-y and watery?) or something else. At any rate, the pizza is just ok in terms of flavor and quality, the crust (along the outer perimeter) is quite nice, and the rest of the crust is so-so. Averaging all these elements: 5 stars for ambiance and entertainment, 2 stars for taste, 3 stars for quantity and price = average score of 3.
(3)Benazhir M.
People have recommended this place so many times that I HAD to try it. I went there deciding to fall in love with Steve's pizza, but to my surprise I met a horror story. The first time I went, the place couldn't be more trashy than it already is. I get it, they are trying to be this "cool, graffiti" type of place, but instead it looks like scene of American Horror Story gone "I'm a teenager no one understands so let me just draw crap on the walls so I can get some attention from my parents" type of place. I decided never to set foot on this crappy location. Plus service was OK. Second time I ate Steve's Pizza was when someone at home ordered it, and I thought, why not? Let me give them another chance. No! The same lame pizza. That sweet sauce is way too sweet and it just doesn't do it for me.
(1)Regina M.
Delisiously good as always, had a slice of cheese pizza, it was cheesy not too salty perfectly done pizza. Came here with friends around midnight, lots of ppl as usual & very friendly staff. Pizza came out quick, didn't have too wait too long. The only downside is if you order a pie it will take more that 45 minutes to get it.
(5)Bryan E.
I'm going to Steve's pizza for years. Always have the same friendly staff and consistently great pizza. This place is a landmark in the community.
(5)Greg M.
My Favorite pizza place in Miami. Doesn't look like much from the outside but give it a try there a reason why it's always full of people
(5)Ava F.
Favorite pizza in the world-and I travel a lot. I have been going to Steve's since before I can remember and it is truly the best. I can eat a whole pie in one sitting...it is that good. Definitely try it if you are in Miami!! Also, I live 30 minutes away and will make the drive to pick up a pie in a heartbeat!
(5)Acelyn B.
The first time I visited Steve's, I was not a fan (nor a Yelper, hence, no review). The second time, I was so satisfied! So let's talk about that. A large pizza happily fed five. Freshly made, hot out of the oven, with the melted cheese stretching from slice to slice. Mmmm. I'm not a fan of NY style pizza because I think crust is the best part. Gimme dat dough! So thin crispy crust is a no-go for me, which is how my pizza slice was the first time I visited. This time though, the crust was perfect. Not too thin, but I guess still considered NY style. Perhaps that's the difference. Order a whole pie & you'll get a slightly thicker crust.

Oh Steve's. Thank God for this little establishment. My friends & I were winding down from a night of libations in SoBe. Unfortunately, dietary limitations were in place as certain members of the party (me & Acelyn B) are abstaining from meat for Lent. Pizza was a resounding option for late night munchies. Steve's is a little bit of a drive away from the action, but open late to cater to your alcohol filled tummies. We ordered a large pizza; half cheese & half pepperoni for those who were able to indulge in their hearts' desires food-wise. It fed 5 people nicely & we all left quite happy. I would gladly return when I yearn for pizza again - I'm basically coming back in the very near future.

This is the first time I tried this place despite having heard many accolades about it during my 39 years in SoFla...my opinion...overrated...pizza is okay.,.crust cracking in bottom means it was not kneaded enough...had a slice of regular cheese pizza...nice size of slice, though the sauce was not seasoned well.,,had to resort to mini packets of salt & pepper for flavor,,,No Shakers?!! Ordered a lasagna dinner and was presented with a pile of meat sauce, flavorless, over top of lasagna noodles...very little mozzarella and a lot of unseasoned ricotta down below...nice size portion, though...came with a side salad topped with ugly tomato slices..truly the side of three garlic rolls was the best part of my meal....I recommend you travel further south to East Side Pizza..so far they have the best in my opinion!
(2)Alex A.
One of the best pizza joints this side on NYC. Been here multiple time and they never disappoint. Their sauce is exceptional and their slices are large and filling. There Parm Heros are also exceptional!!
(4)Tomas B.
OK I've tried this place on several occasions and I truly do not understand the continued accolades about this place. I love a "JOINT" as much as the next guy and old fashioned type throwback place that delivers top quality quick food with a little character. Unfortunately that does not fit that mold. I have had on multiple occasions the Pizza both NY Style and their square Scicilian.. and have had their Chicken Parm as well. ALL OF them are OK period. Their pizza if ordering slices is stretched too thin and it falls apart when trying to fold. Their flavors are lacking that special something that well if you have had good North East pizza you know what I mean. Their Square pie is BLAH not enough sauce and just a doughy mess. Chicken parm weak break and nothing special.. You know I could live with all of the above except the other reason they get the Yellow X here is the place is absolutely filthy. Walked in tonight to empty tables with piles of uncleaned trays and empty cans all over the place. Floors showered with napkins and food. The outside is NO BETTER also unkept across the board. I don't even want to think about what the inside of the aged kitchen looks like. Bottom line is for all that love this place I SIMPLY DO NOT GET IT.
(2)Emmy S.
I'm giving them 3 stars for being in Miami..... This pizza wouldn't do well in NY.... Pizza is a hand held food not meant to be eaten with a knife and fork...... I couldn't eat it without utensils it would fall apart...... The crust was good crispy the way I like it...... Sauce was a bit too sweet and I had to add seasonings to give it a pizza flavor (in NY I never add anything) Steve I wouldn't say your the best I've tried all the rest to know better.
(3)Lucy S.
Raised prices and cut the size honestly completely rip off, so disappointing. I'd rather do the drive up to mauros in Hollywood.... Such a shame that my favorite pizzeria became a place of no return
(1)Octavia Y.
This spot has nothing on Mario the baker and the customer service is horrible. The pizza was subpar to me as well. I wouldn't suggest it to anyone, even on the quick.
(1)Kira F.
Steve's is the local favorite-no doubt about it. Although the place is pretty grungy looking and small, and sometimes the pizzas take a while to come out (15 minutes is TOO long for my liking), the food is CONSISTENT which is important and more important yet-always delicious!
(4)Samantha H.
The sauce is too sweet for my preference. Tonight, the dough was over worked and tough. The cheesy garlic bread is just a sub roll with melted cheese- bleh. I have been twice and the service was satisfactory both times. Not my favorite but not the worst I've had in this city either.
(3)Jerry P.
I know this is yelp and it's mostly about the food but in this case, doesn't anyone notice how ghetto this place is? Waiting in line to pay, I noticed all the baked sandwich bread just sitting outside and I felt a little disgusted. This place is just filthy and borderline nasty. We opted to sit outside and the chairs and tables weren't even cleaned off. The chairs had a layer of soot on them. Furthermore, the busser who was the one cleaning after the guests, had on a pair of dropped cammo shorts with a plain white v-neck t-shirt. He looked so sloppy and totally like he was a day labor looking to work for food. How this operation gets away with being so dingy is beyond me. The owner should have more respect for his customers and clean this place up! Oh, and hopefully you don't need to use the restroom or you're in for a walk to the side of the building. Okay, I'm not stuck up an all, but come on! Get your act together. Oh and lastly, we ordered a large pie with half cheese and half sausage. Nothing out of the ordinary. Andiamo and Anthony's is still my all time favorite.
(1)Marie J.
I've been coming here for. 20 years !! It used to be great!! Lately the pizza is soggy and the sauce Tastes like the worst jar sauce, impossible to eat !!! Please bring back the crispy pizza!!! If not FORGETABOUTIT!!!!

I would have given it 5 stars BUT this is what happened: I have been there for years, but I no longer live in MIA. So, yesterday, I went to pick up a small pizza I ordered the night before. I said I would pick it up at 11:15am on my way to the airport to FLL. I did not get there on time. I called from the car saying I was on my way. It was 11:40 when I arrived to pick it up. There was a person paying when I got to the counter. As soon as it was my turn the phone rang. FRANCISCO (who should be fired) answered the phone and instead of asking the person on the phone to wait a minute while I paid for my pizza, he took 5 full minutes to take an order as I was holding my credit card telling him that I was going to miss my flight. HIS ANSWER: "I am talking to a customer! You were late, its not my fault." Can you believe the guts on this guy? What am I if not a customer waiting on a brainless cashier who makes me wait when it was MY turn? I am a fan of this pizza. So much that I ordered it on my way to the airport. BUT, I also have a lot of experience with customer service and hospitality and it's just common sense that you take care of your customers with simple logic. If I'm there and the phone rings, you tell them to wait, not me! I was in a hurry and I waited 10 minutes to pick up a pizza I ordered the night before because the third-world minded cashier could not use his brain. He said he spoke Spanish but he is lousy at it by the way....
(3)Diana G.
I'm really not a big fan of pizza so this review is probably a bit biased... but the pizza there is decent. Yes, the walls are all graffitied and there are also signs that say not to write on the walls, such a conundrum. Yes, sometimes you have to wait around for a table to open up. Yes, I would probably not recommend their restrooms. Yes, the crowd is very diverse and perhaps a tad questionable but you're going to a pizza shack, you shouldn't have high expectations, and that's what you get.
(3)Jonathan D.
Quick, crunchy and full of flavor!
(5)Jorge R.
This is a staple of North Miami and its surrounding cities! It doesn't matter if you are coming by for a quick slice, grabbing food to go, or having that late night snack you can not go wrong with Steve's! The pizza is a thin NY style with a sweet marinara sauce that can be pilled with toppings. Also the stuffed shells and garlic rolls are some of the best I have had, which is interesting for the style of pizza place. I would always bring people here who are visiting from out of town because I do believe it is one of the best pizza places in Miami.
(5)Steph D.
Had a large Steve's pizza as a take out order. The Steve's has pepperoni, sausage, onion and peppers. The tops were not evenly distributed. The pizza was not hot at all by the time we got home...max 5 minute drive from the shop. There are better pizza joints in the area.
(2)Mario S.
I'm originally from NY so am constantly seeking good pizza. I've heard mixed reviews about this place so decided to give it a try. The pizza isn't bad though the red sauce is a little sweet. My favorite was the white pizza my wife ordered however, which is soooo not ny pizza. Although the food wasn't bad, the service was horrendous. I like hole in the wall places, but the ambience left a lot to be desired. It was kind of dark and dingy and the staff was super rude and rushed through your order. If I'm really hungry, ill probably order delivery and save myself the trip.
(3)Trisha G.
One of my favorite pizza places. The slices are huge, good and don't have as much grease as other places. The crust is nice and crispy but chewy at the same time. The chicken parm sub is delicious too. I love their red sauce!
(5)Todd N.
Some of the best Pizza I've ever had (Yes, Including New York!). Crust is always crispy, cheese and sauce are always a perfect blend and it's consistently great tasting pizza. The only problem is, I've recently found out I'm gluten and lactose intolerant. So, here's how I feel about Steve's Pizza... Although I'm gonna get sick from the lactose in the cheese and the gluten from the flour, it's worth it and now I will treat myself to it every once in a while. It's that good!
(5)mitchell m.
Just went for a slice from fresh pie yesterday and it was unbeatable soggy greasy would best describe what used to be a great place what happened steves?
(1)Erin W.
Steve's has the best pizza in Miami. Tastes almost like NY pizza. They also make an amazing eggplant rolatini. The portions are also pretty sizable.
(5)Christopher T.
wow... This place has destroyed my love for pizza at any other place you can get pizza... It has became an addiction and if Steves were a religion i would be in church not against my will...
(5)Sara N.
Love this place. Order and pay at the counter, seat yourself inside or out and wait for your name to be called. Slices are enormous so one will fill me up.. Prices are also more than fair and the place is open late. Yum!
(4)Jarrod H.
Love the pizza. Gigantic slices, lots of cheese, what else could I want in a slicery. This place is an institution.
(5)Jeniffer L.
Not too much my favorite! One of my friends absolutely LOVES this place but Im not too sure why. One being that I don't feel like the place is too clean and I also feel like I would get jacked sitting outside, so I only will be going this one time and never again (which is why I gave 3 stars). The pizza was alright, I love pizzas that are super cheesy and they did just that. I would recommend to order the pizza out if they get there and felt the way I did.
(3)Andrew A.
Excellent pizza good vibe not sure what else I can add that has not been said already. I love that I can create my own slice and that its a melting pot of people.
(5)Annis P.
Something has happened here. This is not the pizza I have known and loved. Was it sold ??
(1)Nef W.
I've been going there since 2007. Last year during the super bowl I purchase the usual, XL cheese pie. I bit into the crust and found a large piece of led and broke off half my tooth. I called them and they were rude and I've became irate . I contact the better business bureau and a lawyer . I'm never going there again. I go to Muaro pizza on Hollywood blvd. closest to NYC style pizza . period!
(1)Maya E.
I used to come here all the time and I loved it so much....now not only have they raised their prices, but their pizzas are also now half the size. Never coming here again.
(1)Gina V.
Stop what you're doing and go to Steve's. This pizza will make you feel things no pizza has made you feel before.
(5)Rebecca W.
Great pizza, late hours, you can just taste the freshness. The only thing that sucks is that it's very limited seating. But it's so worth it! :)
(4)Erik E.
Great pizza especially late nite! It's a good atmosphere and the cheese slices are incredible
(5)Tal T.
If you call yourself a pizza-lover, you simply have to try Steve's. It's the closest thing to a traditional NY style pizzeria we have in Miami, and it measures up nicely. Open late, full of funky style and friendly staff, Steve's is the hole-in-the-wall, consistent pizza place you hit with your friends when you need a solid slice and a cold beer. I used to die for the sausage, which is served in long, spicy slices. The garlic knots are traditional: greasy, buttery, and extra garlicy. I love a plain cheese slice nowadays, and also enjoy a mushroom/tomato every now and then. A whole pie is super big and freshly made. Steve's sweet, special sauce is thinly spread across the thin crust and the cheese is amply strewn atop. It's a perfectly simple combo. It's cheap, dirty, and awesome. Just go.
(4)Leilani D.
So when I first walked into this place I felt like I was immediately going to love it. It reminded me of all the trashy restaurants I used to go to in Gainesville, which is a good thing. We stepped up to the counter and ordered a handful of things...garlic rolls, wings, and an eggplant parm pizza. Then we sat down and waited....and waited. First of all, it seems that you have to pay attention when they yell your name for you to pick up your order. Which wouldn't be so bad if your order didn't come out in nonsensical pieces. So what was the problem? -Timing. Everything took forever to come out. Or almost everything. By the time we had all of our food at least a half hour had passed. -Order. I believe we got the wings first, pizza quite a while later, and garlic bread maybe a half hour after we ordered them (dead last). If I order an appetizer like wings, and definitely something easy like garlic bread, I expect it to come out before my meal. Who wants to eat garlic bread as a dessert? By the time it finally came out we were completely done eating our pizza. -Food. After all that waiting around for garlic bread it wasn't great and I would definitely AVOID THE WINGS. These just had buffalo sauce thrown on them, nothing special and borderline kind of gross. It's sad because our pizza was fantastic (the sweet sauce is amazing!), but I can't really imagine myself coming back to a place that is so poorly run again. Maybe they do a better job with take-out? Although based on my experience, I wouldn't hold my breath.
(2)Alexis A.
I was actually shocked how good the pizza was - my pizza standards are quite high, being from NY : ) Place is small and a bit grungy, but sitting outside was nice. Come for the food, not the ambiance
(4)Brian L.
The first time I ate at Steve's I got their Margherita, or whatever they decide to call it, and it was pretty dreadful. The crust was totally soggy and everything just slid off. I generally prefer to eat my pizza with my hands over a knife and fork, and that's pretty difficult at Steve's. The other day, I decided to try it again to see if that first visit was a fluke, since this place is pretty consistently heralded. Nope, still awful. I ordered a large pie with mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions, and totally drenched yet again. The sauce is also way too sweet. I definitely prefer Evio's or Frankie's for pizza in this area.
(2)Pedri C.
Steve's is what Pizza is all about. THE best pizza in Miami! A gazillion toppings, CONSISTENTLY Delicious Pizza and food, great service and ambience and open late as hell for those that prefer the rule of the Moon to its hectic counterpart. I've been coming here for over 20yrs, which is weird being 21 and all (...just go with it!) lol, and NEVER a bad experience. You've had the rest, now try the Best! That's a slogan they truly live up to! What are you waiting for?! Get in your car an come on over!!!
(5)Chelsey L.
Despite the long line, it's definitely worth it. The pizza here is amazing! The wings aren't worth the money, buy an extra pizza with that extra money! The place itself is very small, and usually packed.
(5)Oscar R.
Pizza is good and the historic value of the restaurant helps it's business, but also hurts our wallets. For what you pay for a box, you hope that the taste would be worth it, but it leaves you disappointed.
(3)David-Anthony G.
In my neck of the woods, being a night owl can be a pain considering the limited amount of options along Biscayne north of 75th. A late night vagrant to US-1 Fitness, I always found the lines at Steve's long, I just had to try 'em out. My first visit, I was impressed with the setup. Baptized in graffiti, slapped with bumper stickers, had a cool vibe that reminded me of places I'd frequent back home in Chicago. Sadly, the pizza wasn't close to what I expect being from the food town Chicago is. It's crunchier than it is doughy. And while crunchy isn't a bad thing, it is when the overall product just seems lacking, in something. However, with late night hours, and hot food I could really care less. It kept my stomach from eating itself, so it sufficed. Now I've never seen a slow moment to and from the gym. So one night I arrive, unknowingly, 5 minutes before closing. You wouldn't have guessed so because the restaurant was still packed and food continued to be shuffled out. The huge wads of money the cashier was counting tipped me off. She insisted I order, despite my offer to patronize Denny's next door. It really wouldn't have bothered me considering I work in service so I understand. My option was limited to two cheese slices. Sold. I get my food, I sit down to enjoy my meal, waiting for it to cool. Now remember, she insisted I eat here, and seemed sincere enough that I wouldn't be in the way. I didn't even begin to bite into my meal and the lights go off. Everyone paraded out the door. But I pulled out the Rosa Parks card and continued to remain seated. As my food cooled I ate in the dark, a la Helen Keller; the only light available, was shafting from behind the pizza counter where cooks stood gunning cigarettes and flicking their ashes over the prep area where only moments before sat my pizza. The whole lack of light fiasco really didn't deter me from returning, but the whole confetti of cigarette ash episode has turned a repeat customer into one that's back to Denny's for any late night eats in this neglected quarter of the city.

I don't think that I've ever seen such a place as polarizing as Steve's Pizza. People either: 1) Think that the pizza here is amazing and Steve's is a diamond in the rough or 2) Think that Steve's is the most disgusting pizza ever had and this place is a dump Well I can honestly say that I am a fan of the pizza at Steve's but it definitely is kind of a dump. I think the reason that everyone is so divided has to do with the pizza sauce. Steve's sauce is a pretty sweet tomato sauce which is kind of rare for a pizza sauce. Either you love the sweet sauce or it makes you gag in disgust. I would recommend delivery since Steve's is a small venue. If it is packed forget about parking and finding a place to sit - plus it is a dump. Also customer service is definitely not one of Steve's strengths but the pizza is damn good. I prefer the Steve's Special which is pepperoni, sausage, meatball, green pepper, onion, mushroom, and anchovy on request. It is absolutely packed with ingredients - kind of reminds me of a Casola's pizza although not as extreme. Call for delivery, they are open late. The delivery is a little slow, but it is definitely worth the wait!
(4)Jennifer T.
Love this place. We work next door so its easy to just come and grab a few slices after work. Opens late!
(5)Robert F.
All right, so I've been hearing all the hype about this place so it was high time this Pizza lover tried Steve's! I went in on a weekday and ordered my two favorites, sausage pizza and a chicken parm sub/hero/hogie, whatever you call it depending on your home town. I thought the chicken parm was acceptable as well as the pizza, but unfortunately their tomato sauce has way too much sugar in it for my taste. I feel there was just too much of the sweet stuff on both items. I wish all these type places would season their bread crumbs and not drown out their chicken with an abundance of sauce on the chicken parm. It seems that I just can't find a good chicken parm anywhere? As for pizza, Steve's is no Kings County Pizza in Aventura on Dixie, or better yet, Rice and Dough off Broward Bl. In Ft. Lauderdale. They are both better NY style pizza.
(3)Limuel G.
Came here for a late night meal, and Steve's Pizza definitely hit the spot. It's about time I found a go to spot for that late night craving. Cheap reasonable prices, extremely large slices, and toppings that were literally piled on. Let's not forget that this pizza tasted great. Pretty much the perfect spot for what you want for a quick bite. I do drop the rating down because of the decor, which is a bit less desired for. There is graffiti art everywhere and random stickers. Steve's might be going with that underground NYC street theme to give it that authentic feeling. I personally like feeling that I'm eating at a clean establishment. At least I can see my food being made in front of me, so that's somewhat comforting.
(4)Kenton L.
Steve Pizza has been the icon of North Miami for centuries. I've been coming to this pizzeria for 20 years, and I still enjoy it. The neighborhood totally changed except this place. An Iconique place for North Miami and still doing well. They are mostly famous for their pizza, but their menu consists of a mixture of good food. Every weekend this place is packed from 10:00 PM until 3:00 AM. It is inexpensive, good quality and fresh ingredients. The service is good and their employee seems to enjoy their task. If the food network happens to read my review, I want to welcome them to the best pizzeria in North Miami.
(5)Melissa A.
I really wanted to like this place but I can't. After 3 tries at steves pizza, I'm giving up on them. After a long day out with the kids, I didn't have it in me to make dinner, so we decided to treat the kids to pizza. We live literally 2 blocks from the shop and it took over an hour to arrive. I should of walked my butt over there and saved the tip money. Once it finally arrived though, the pie was super under cooked even though we asked specifically for extra crispy. Why was it almost raw if it was so late?? And what's the deal with the pepperoni? It tastes like the kind you get on frozen pizzas from the store lol Sorry guys! I tried and each time was almost the same problems. I'm glad others have good luck, but I guess steves is not meant to be our go to pizza spot. Sucks cus it so close too :/
(1)Elizabeth B.
I'm always over here and this is the spot for the best pizza in Miami! Forget about Papa Johns, Pizza Hut, and the rest. This is it:)
(5)Jennifer W.
LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE THEIR PIZZA. the sauce they make their pizzas with is so good. One of the best pizza places in Miami.
(5)Jojo N.
I've always gone here with my family. At first I hated their pizza, the sauce was too sweet and runny that it made the pizza yucky and the slice soggy (nasty!). But then I was recommend to try less sauce, extra crispy, cheese only. Now I eat there every Friday sometimes the entire weekend. But one thing I still dislike is there sauce. It's too sweet for me, other than that thumbs up from me :)
(4)Angela E.
Fulfilled a week long craving today with a perfect pepperoni pizza. Delicious as always!
(5)Mo S.
The sauce is amazing! Sweet & savory. I always get a classic cheese pizza. It never disappoints. The cheese is light and not too heavy. Perfect portion of sauce & cheese perfection!!!
(4)William O.
This place is a total DIVE. I mean, the kind of dive that's stuck in something of a time warp. Walking in is like going back in time. And I absolutely LOVE that. I first heard about Steve's about two years ago, and it was the subject of much intrigue whenever I drove by it on Biscayne. So, on a very rough Sunday morning a few Sundays back, I went to Steve's for something that might help soak up all the alcohol in my stomach. Surely, Steve's could provide a much needed respite from my hangover. Things, however, didn't start off all that well. After ordering at the counter (Steve's is one of those places that doesn't really have waiters/waitresses: everything is ordered at the counter), I sat in my throwback booth to take in the landscape, which was fun. For a while. Sitting, looking around and eying layer upon layer of old posters and magic marker, the wait was disconcerting considering how much I'd looked forward to this pizza. This is one of my points of derision: the wait was too long, and that the food came out piecemeal was not ideal. It just made the wait seem worse. And, furthermore, IF I'm going to wait a long time, I should be able to assume that all of my food is coming. This was not the case. The pizza came first. Eggplant. (Side note: the eggplant was breaded and fried, which I kind of dug.) The pizza very quickly did away with some of my dissatisfaction. Not coal-fired like so many other pizza places sprouting in the South Florida food scene, it was an exercise in throwback, classicist pizza-making. Then came more dissatisfaction as I realized the unsettling reality that the "starters" (wings and garlic bread) had yet to arrive. When the wings finally came out, they weren't so much tossed in hot sauce as just drizzled in it, which I found most confusing. I mean, if that's how you're going to do it, then just sell the wings "naked" and provide a cup of sauce for dipping. At least that way, I can somewhat control my hot sauce distribution instead of getting really inconsistent bites. I know how ridiculous I sound, but I'm a guy who loves his wings, and it was unsettling to see them somewhat poorly executed. The garlic bread came out last (a sort of garlicky dessert), and though it was good, it's total awkward delivery in the course of our meal kind of ruined it a bit. Let me be clear: as far as pizza is concerned, Steve's offers a VERY good pie, and I would totally patronize this place again. Next time, though, I'll probably just call in an order for pick-up and save myself from the guessing game and lack of attentive service I encountered.
(2)Billy V.
Pizza slice is ok to good. Open late and the closes slice to a NYC style slice. My main issue is that the sauce is sweet. This is a very over powering taste and is not balanced with the cheese, sauce and dough ratio. I think the sauce may be canned, not sure. Needs work. Overall it hits the spot when your hungry. The few bucks you spend won't hurt you.
(3)Monica M.
Came here on an impromptu late-night run for food. I remember Steve's Pizza being a lot greasier; greasier to the point the little pepperoni slices would cook into little cups and there would be grease in these little cups. Now there's no grease and the pepperonis are scarce. Also, $5 for a beer is RIDICULOUS!!!!! Get it together Steve's!!!
(2)Steven M.
Best pizza in Miami and the closest you'll find to NY style. Good location right on Biscayne blvd makes it easy to stop by for a quick slice. The inside looks like a typical old school pizza joint. Graffiti on everything, old video games, and crusty $.25 candy machines add to the ambiance. You should check them out.
(4)Sherilet D.
This place looks scary and its always packed! They're open until very late which is good! This place its original and the pizzas are great! Yes they use their bare hands to put the toppings in every pizza but hey..what doesnt kill u makes u stronger! I will keep Coming here ! :)
(5)Coach M.
Just picked up a take out order the house slice is best always ask for a well done slice and be sure to write your name on the wall
(4)Pab P.
As a former resident of the Big Apple myself, I know GOOD pizza. When we moved back to Miami we asked everyone we knew, what's the closest thing to NYC style pizza in south florida? And everyone gave us the same answer: Steves Pizza! Luckily, I work about 10 min away from Steve's, so the wife and I headed out to try it one afternoon. Pros: Pizza really is very good! It had the most authentic "new york" style taste of any other pizza I had tried in Miami. Prices were very affordable. We liked it! Cons: It still wasn't to the level of great NYC style pizza, and even tho it had the most "new york" feel to it, I've had better pizza elsewhere in Miami! Casolas is better (yes it isn't really NYC style pizza, but is better than this place!) and Mario the Baker is also better (and in a nicer neighborhood). The place is kind of a dump. I guess thats part of its "charm" but I dunno... So all in all this is a pretty cool place if you want NYC-esque style Pizza that doesn't quite live up to Lombardi's or Grimaldi's. If you're in the hood, stop on in for one of their HUGE slices. Just don't expect to have your socks knocked off.
(3)Jade S.
-Very Good Pizza. -Great Hot Subs. -Best Sauce in Miami!!! -You will not be disappointed!
(4)Honest R.
I would give ZERO stars if I could for this dump! New York style pizza? Not even remotely close!!! The pizza here was worse than a frozen pizza you can buy in a grocery store! Poor quality cheese & toppings and the crust was like tasteless cardboard. Even after ordering 2 pizzas thin & crispy, they were both made as thick as a pan pizza. TOTALLY DISGUSTING!!!!!! We only gave this place a try because our spot, Kings County Pizza was closed for an emergency repair. If you want REAL AUTHENTIC NEW YORK PIZZA, KINGS COUNTY IN AVENTURA/N. MIAMI BEACH IS THE REAL DEAL!
(1)Patricia R.
Okay, so I'm totally ashamed of the beast I unleashed in this place in front of my guy friend... ((( horrified ))) So I had just flown in from Baltimore (my current home location) - and I was starving - eat a small pony STARVING! So my friend suggests pizza - I'm originally from North Jersey where real Italians were everywhere and the pizza in my home town, my grandma's neighborhood, and in New York can NOT be beat - so I was less than excited. Enter to Steve's - this pizza was amazing. I swear it took me back 20 years to eating Continental Pizza on Bergenline Ave in Union City, NJ where I still remember the super nice Italian guy that would give you gi-normous slices for $1, and would spin the pizza dough extra extravagant just so me and every other kid in the shop could stare in awe... sigh.... ANYWAY - the slices were DELISH!!! I ate mine, I had a bunch of the pepperoni off of my friend's slice (because they give pepperoni quite liberally here)) and then the garlic knots ((gasps)) - OMG!I I never cared for them - but THESE were amazing! I ate at least 4 and that was before I ate my slice... (((hangs head in shame))) Yea, so by the time I cleared all the carbs off the table my friend was staring at me quite stunned.... In conclusion - EAT AT STEVE'S! just not in front of someone that is going to be shocked at your ability to consume! :)
(5)Fabian A.
The place is awesome! Top NY style in Miami. Pretty much you can't go wrong with a slice of cheese pizza or a pepperoni. I think what makes this place special is the tomato sauce they use. It's a little sweet which makes it different than the rest of NY slices in Miami. Check it ou!
(4)M. T.
Best NY Style pizza in Miami. Always order a fresh one from the oven, if you can--they are the best. Steve's Pizza is a classic.

It took me a long time to go to Steve's. I'm a Mario the Baker kind of girl. I had heard so many good things from people, so I made a stop for some pizza. The parking lot was packed. This heightened my anticipation for an amazing slice. I walked in and saw graffiti all over the boots, and photos stapled to the wall. I was really liking this place. It was laid back, and felt like a neighborhood gem. The employees were friendly, prices were super reasonable, and the pizza came out quickly. ...but my pizza was mediocre at best. I'm not a fan of the sauce. There was too much of it, and it was too much like a paste. It was also a little sweeter than I like for a pizza sauce. I like the vibe, so I'll probably give Steve's another shot, but I'll go for a sub or something other than pizza. I'll stick to Mario's when I've got a craving for that.

No frills, delicious, simple amazing pizza. i would rather have steve's than any chain pizza any day of the week. The slices are huge and the toppings are always fresh!. My usual is either Cheese w/ tomato slices or Pepperoni & an arizona raspberry tea :) try this place! u wont be disappointed. their stromboli's and garlic knots are also primo :D

Open extremely late, this little shack-like building is a great place to experience for delicious pizza. Sold by the slice, as well as the pie, it's the easiest way to grab a quick, affordable pizza. You better hope there is a short line and then somewhere to sit. And if there is, it's worth it. You have the option of sitting in their tiny dining room where you can watch the people run in and out and the cooks yell out orders. Or you can sit in the small patio area and watch the cars go by on the highway - Just cross your fingers it doesn't rain. The slices are huge, the crust is soft and chewy but crisp on the outside and the sauce is perfectly sweet. The cheese is mouthwatering and stringy as well. Take note that I'm very simple when it comes to my pizza - I like just simple cheese, and it is so good. But if you like toppings, boy do they have them. If you ask for any type of topping they pile it on there like it's a second meal. Absolutely worth going to, forget about those silly chain pizza restaurants. Come here and you'll see what you're missing. I like the way that you order, find a seat and patiently wait on your pizza to be done. It has always been fresh and promptly delivered. I wish there were free refills, since I'm sure they can't pack an extreme number of people into their dining room and patio to have that many refill demands (I'm sure most orders are take-out).

Great staff, the antipasto was excellent, simple, and tasty. The pizza was really sweet, meaning a load of sugar in both the sauce and the crust. This was kind of a turnoff, and ruined the pizza. Overall I don't see why it was to highly rated. The cashier girls are very nice and fun. Overall I have had better in Miami, but I'm by no means a Miami pizza pro (yet)!
(2)Lance P.
I've eaten alot of pizza and I haven't had better pizza in Miami anywhere. The sauce is sweet and great. Prices are fair and inside is usually full. I always get cheese no need for toppings simple is best here. Also garlic rolls are great and the baked ziti was good. Haven't tried anything else. Steves is open late so it's usually a great option late night.
(5)Latoya C.
This place is great! The pizza is sooooooo delicious. When you want to have great Italian food at a good price, this is the place to go. The downfalls are that this place is tiny & the pizza is greasy so save this visit for a cheat day.

There's a great little pizza place just off of Biscayne Boulevard near the Home Depot in North Miami. Steve's Pizza is one of our local hidden gems over in North Miami. They're open late, the staff is down to earth, their beers are always cold and their pizzas are delicious (ask for extra tomato sauce, you'll be glad you did). The place is small and it gets packed pretty easily, so I advise that you to order ahead and take-out. However, the place attracts a diverse crowd which (to me) speaks to the quality of their pizzas. I like lots of toppings and appreciate the way the cooks at Steve's Pizza never skimp. By the way, if you like garlic rolls prepare yourself, this place has a delicious recipe. Prices are reasonable for this NY style pizza place which has an atmosphere all its own. Thanks Steve, for all the delicious pies over the years.

My Boyf and I were in the mood for some pizza so came on yelp to see what was out there. We saw Steve's pizza was open till late so we decided to give it a try since the pizza looked amazing. When we get they're we make the line to order, when it's our turn the cashier asked me in a rude tone what I wanted I told her my order and later tells me," what soda do you want?" I kindly tell her," let me have a can coke please and a bottle of water" to which she replied they're the same price you know" with a very rude attitude. The pizza was nothing major the sauce wasn't great and the environment was very uncomfortable. I'm 22 and my Boyf 26 and just being there I felt completely out of place. Teenagers being rude everywhere. Will not eat here AGAIN!!!! Biggest mistake. And to top it off when we parked the car in they're parking lot I see all the cooks outside just smoking and laughing and the manager about to cry because they obviously don't take her seriously. I felt like it was an episode of kitchen nightmare. No thank you.

What the hell???????? back in the days Steve pizza was beez knees, I would stop by at least 3-4 times a month. Well, after a 2 year hiatus, I was back in North Miami, with a carving for pizza. Had I know the crap this place was serving I would have just ordered from Papa John's. I order a large pizza with the works plus anchovies. The anchovies and pizza sauce tasted rancid. I was so pissed I end up throwing the pizza in the garbage. Never ever will I step foot in this counterfeit pizza place.
(1)J W.
Great pizzas, single slices are very generous averaging a quarter a pizza. Get the single slices over a whole pie. The singles usually are crunchier and the whole pies are not as firm and are a completely different experience. The inside with the graffiti is a nice touch. The atmosphere is chill so long as you beat the party animals that occasionally swarm the place from 11-2am.
(5)Dawn O.
I freaking love this place and look forward to getting a slice whenever I'm in the area (which I wish was more often just for the sake of Steve's). The people that work here are great and have a great sense a humor. To whoever made my friends and me a pizza with a pepperoni penis on it for our friend's birthday, you rock.
(5)Patrick S.
Maybe it's just my taste but the pizza taste like its loaded with sugar , but the place is always packed , it must be me ,
(3)Young F.
Miami's best slice. I've been to a million of them. For the price, the quality is top notch and the flavor is exceptional. I'll eat gourmet pizza, but I prefer this. Two things to note: parking lot is small and floods when it rains. Also, not a ton of seating inside, so you may want to avoid going at high traffic times.
(5)Brian F.
The pizza is now horrible. What happened? I am very upset. The crust was burnt/dry, the sauce was unevenly distributed, the cheese was overcooked and unevenly applied, the service sucked. Too bad.
(1)Michael C.
It's just plain good. We've been referring to this place as "The Redneck Pizza Place" for a long, long time. I think that was because they always had either country music or hard rock music playing. The pizza is consistently good. It's one of those places where you tend to look the other way when it comes to cleanliness and hygiene. It's just not a place that you'd expect to be immaculate. As a matter of fact, it's kinda down and dirty. So, unless you have a real emergency, I'd say avoid the (outdoor access) bathrooms. One time, we ordered chicken and eggplant parmesan. Let me just advise you now - stick with the pizza. You can't go wrong. It's always good. I don't know why we are are always pinching the basil plants without letting them know, because I've seen so many others doing to same thing. I imagine if everyone did it, those plants would be rather dead. But, it's such a treat to have some fresh basil on your pizza. They have a whole tray of condiments - dried oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper packets, parmesan cheese and, of course, the hot pepper flakes. You take them all to your table and douse everything with all the above and then return them to their trays or someone will inevitably come to your table to ask for them. It's a cute little fun place to eat pizza. They seem to be doing a bang-up delivery and pick-up business. I highly recommend it over any of those chain pizzas.
(5)Tony A.
Been going to Steve's for a long while. It's a North Miami institution. Very good NY style pizza and they are open late. Not the greatest area of North Miami, so I don't frequent the place very late these days, but it's great for picking up on the way home from somewhere. Also good place to stop by on a Saturday afternoon for a quick slice and a beer. They also do a really nice eggplant parm pizza, which is really good and a little unusual.
(4)Maki S.
I can't belive what I'm reading. Have you guys tried Piccolo Pizza & More., or pretty much anything in NY? ? If you have, you wouldn't call this the best....or even close to great. It's good, it's definitely not the best. It's a good after-party place. It's great for hanging out and people watching. Students write all over the furniture, which I get a kick out of reading :) If you go with a group, avoid slices and go with a whole pizza, because they don't cook the pepperoni long enough on slices. It's super greasy. Don't order meat lovers, because they literally take a handful or two of meat and pile it onto the pizza. Kinda gross.
(2)Rosa A.
The closest to NY pizza right off Biscayne. I had a pepperoni slice and it was mighty scrumptious. The crust, cheese, sauce, & pepperoni were perfect for each other! They also have great garlic buns, which seems to be a popular item. If you do get them make sure you have a mint lol or you can be silly and get mighty close to people when you talk to them hehe ;) Another yummy item they have is a huge parmessan cheese sub....if you are wicked hungry for something other than pizza this is the sub to get!
(5)Steven T.
Love this place and they open late too!!! This place is pack even at 2AM!!!
(5)Pamela M.
Just got a pizza. Pepperoni,sausage all over and peppers and on onions on half. Center was soft and pepperoni and sausage was only on alf. And they forgot my diet coke. Uuugghhh
(2)Rob D.
Ahhhh Steve's Pizza. Anytime I hear that name I get nostalgic. Anyone who grew up in Miami has heard of this landmark. It's a landmark because anytime I give directions around NMB I usually mention Steve's one way or another. I remember when I first had friends old enough to drive... many nights ended with a slice at Steve's. It's funny because I don't like anything sweet but I love their tomato sauce tomato sauce for that very reason - go figure. And to top it off they're open till 3AM during the week and 4AM on the weekends, so really does it get any better than that? Steve's is pretty much the only late night food spot in North Miami Beach (if that's changed please let me know). That being said you can almost guarantee that the place will be swarmed with high school kids. So unless your girl is 18 or into writing graffiti this probably isn't the place to go on a date. Yes they allow you to tag almost anything. The guys behind the counter can be a little impatient when they call your name and you don't answer but the line's usually going out the door so it's understandable. NOTE: You ARE allowed to park in the home depot parking!! Oh, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, THEY HAVE PERONI. Woot Woot!!
(5)Jose S.
I remember skipping school to go eat at steves, and this was back in 1990. Ive never had a bad slice here. Everything is delicious. Their pies are thin crust and the sauce is sweet. The toppings are very generous. I dont agree with the 50cent refills but whatchagonnado. Budget cuts i guess. I hope i dont sound cheap, but think its distasteful. Just me i guess. I would like to dedicate this review to my friend Larry Bennett. Rest in peace Larry. You loved Steves! If you go youll find his picture above the register to the left. The owners have kept the oldschool feel which makes this place so comfortable. The place is small but the flavor is huge! Get the antipasto salad a slice and the garlic rolls!! Youll never b the same!!!
(5)Christian U.
I've been coming here off and on for years depending on what part of town I am working or living in. Lately it's been very often. You can't go wrong with stopping in and grabbing a slice if you like NY style pizza piled high with ingredients at a good price. BUT . .. . the reason this place is barely 3 stars and not more is that it is a dive in not that cool divey way like in NY or Berkeley way but in that dirty Florida way. The filthy bathroom is out back like a gas station. Secondly, if you order delivery and you like anchovies - fowgetabowdet. I ask, I plead, I beg for anchovies. I repeat myself I ask them to repeat it back. I ask their name, I tell them thank you for making sure my Steve's special has anchovies. Guess what. That's right. It comes without anchovies. It's like I am being punked by the place. Come to think about it I'm done with this place for awhile. I asked for extra anchovies last time in since they had forgotten them the last 3 times and they charged me extra. Rude. Not so much that as much lack of cleanliness.
(2)Gina H.
AAAAA shite...I forgot the garlic rolls and am kicking myself soundly in my mental arse. I loved the pizza crust ....that was all that was about all that was left after my son scarfed down two HUGE cheese slices with olives and a soda for close to $8. He says we have to go there once a week at least. Bottles of draft Guinness and Newcastle Brown Ale for $3.00 FTW!!! Lots of history carved and inked with care into the booths, this place will remind you of your college days. But the booths are small so don't go with a gang of 6 and expect to get sitting together (unless you pull up tables together outside). Parking lot was FULL to capacity (and then some) at about 9p.m. on a Sat. Nite but there is an abundance of parking across the lane at Home Depot. Call it in to go and sit outside. They have quite an extensive menu of other Italian style foods and your usual pizzeria grub - Spaghetti, Ziti, Subs, Italian Dinners (parmigiana type stuff)...oh and did I mention the garlic rolls??? Because I forgot to mention them when I was ordering...sheesh.
(4)Ryan M.
For me, this is a go-to pizza place when i want my favorite slice. The ingredients are fresh, the slices are bigger than your head, and the sauce has a slight sweetness to it that i don't really taste anywhere else. I have been a patron to here for quite a many years and often see photographs of friends and acquaintances riddled on the wall. You can sit inside or out and the pizza always gets to you hot. The bottom line is this, i would give Pizza Rustica a 4 star rating and Steve's Pizza in north miami a 5. I'm also pretty sure they have won a bunch of awards for having above average pizza. Did i mention they grow the herbs they use in the restaurant? Another awesome feature is that they serve good beer, killians, new castle, and red stripe (HOOORAY BEER) to name a few. --open to 4ish am on some nights. My favorite is a large slice with fresh jalapeños , canadian bacon or pepperoni, and extra cheese. When i am feeling extra 'stumbly' i like to mix it up a bit and throw a flavor fiesta into the mix with some juicy piña triangles for that extra je-ne-se-qua. Enjoy and happy eating!
(5)Esther G.
Remarkably, and wonderfully unexpected decor and pizza. Wow. I had thought about going to Steve's Pizza for about a year now, but judging from the outside I thought it looked a little sterile and dull, and sort of too family oriented for me. I was so wrong! I went inside, and there are wooden booths, little plants, totally a chill 1990s beachside, teenage, hacky-sack playing, dare I say...stoner vibe. It was great! Flashback to my teens. They even played Nirvana and King Missile while I was there. I expect to hear Blind Melon and STP in the future. haha :) As for the pizza: Huge slices, and pretty darn good. I ordered a slice of the veggie pizza and it's basically an entire salad with super fresh veggies on top of the pizza. yum. Yes, this place is good.
(4)Dannie M.
Order the cheese slice- you will fall in love with Steve's. I love this place and am always happy when I leave. The best pizza in Miami.
(5)Richard D.
I would venture to say this is the best pizza sauce in miami. All ingredients are fresh and the pizza is tossed and made right in front of you. Small shack looking place with graffiti but not a lot of places come close to the taste.
(4)Macielle B.
Steve's Pizza is as unbelievably close to New York pizza as I've found since moving here. I take pizza very seriously lol. Their thin crust is a dream, the sauce is to die for and everyone is so nice, the boyfriend and I each had a slice of pepperoni extra cheese with a Yuengling and Garlic rolls. The rolls were so soft fresh out the oven with the delicious fresh garlic they always have. It's small so most likely you'll be sitting outside but always bring a marker to tag up a space, leave your mark!
(5)Travis B.
I grew up on this pizzeria, its the diamond in the rough on US1 and N. Miami. Its been my favorite pizza place for like 18 years and I still frequent down Steve's from northern Lauderdale just to have a slice and say whats up to Miguel (their best pizza tosser) A slice and a large draft beer is just under $5, the service is fast and the hours are great. The graffiti on the walls and tables gives this place its character and gives it the whole in the wall feeling that makes this place so great. The late night hours has made this place the ultimate last stop on a long night of drinking.
(5)Tanya B.
The best pizza in town. When my family fly in town, it their first stop and last stop.
(5)Greg B.
BEWARE, I Say BEWARE, Stopped by after not eating here in years. Stromboli used be great, so we thought we'd order some. Well, Phoned to pre order and a nice guy pleasantly answered the phone asked if we couls hold. Then the down hill started and ended in one of our worst customer service , horrible food stories of ALL TIME!!! A girl comes back on the line, And from the stat was RUDE, IMPATIENT, AND had ZERO PHONE ETIQUETTE! We ordered the Stromboli and stopped in tho pick it up. The same extremely RUDE girl was busy picking at her various facial piercings and when I offered my credit card she said "visa master card only" in a condescending attitude like I'm supposed to know your crappy little business doesnt accept one of the worlds most used credit cards. Anyhow, I placed my visa on the counter and she looked at it like I did something wrong? I said thats my visa , She said "you could have handed it to me"! I told her, Yup, just like on the phone, rude, unhelpful, no courtesy. Instead of using common sense to try to redeem the situation she blurts out "you guys are the only ones complaining about me" Again , wow, So I guess we don't count? We then asked for a manager and she says " no manager" How convenient! We then asked another worker for the manager and he chuckled and said "we're all managers" then he laughed some more. Now the food. We added some slices to the Stromboli and whata mistake!!! Tasted like cardboard, Was not hot , and we threw it away half eaten. Stromboli was marginal, nothing like years past. Facilities are old, run down, and do not ask for the restrooms. They are out back and horrendous!!! Urine all over, smells like hell. I was very cautious not to touch ANYTHING in this outhouse. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID!!!
(1)Shannon R.
Best pizza hands down in Miami
(5)Noah Van H.
Been eating here for 30 years.. you can never go wrong with anything from this place! Can get a bit crowded on a weekend night though
(4)Shan L.
Best Pizza and huge slices. Super friendly and out door seating. Don't miss this place!
(5)Steven P.
I'm from Brooklyn so I know good pizza. Steve's Pizza is the only local pizza I approve of. The sauce is sweet and many people don't like it but I think it's good anyway. Try their homemade meatballs! Their problem is consistency. Sometimes the slices are perfect and crispy. Sometimes they are undercooked and fall apart. I only stop by for lunch when they're not busy because you can wait 30+ minutes for your slice after you have ordered and paid. The problem is management (lack of). The counter girls are nice but the pizza guys are on their own!
(4)Asami S.
People love Steve's because of the sweet sauce. I will admit the sauce is unique and offers some relief from tomato sauce that can be a bit too tart or tangy. However, it can be a bit overbearing at times. The pizza is a bit greasy for my taste and because the crust is so thin, it can make the pizza go soggy very fast. I also find the crust to often be a bit white for my personal taste. Another appeal that Steve's pizza has is that it is open late. If that plus soft, thin, white crust, high grease content, and a sweet tasting sauce is important to you then you might find the pizza to be quite palatable. I personally could live without it.
(2)Bobby M.
New Yorkers LOVE to compare everything in Miami to...well, New York. No offense to my New Yorker friends out there but the center of the Universe does not revolve around the Yankees and NY style pizza. (Just sayin') I've never been to New York or had an authentic New York pizza (hold the NY rat droppings) so I couldn't compare anything to Steve's Pizza however, I am going to have to take the New Yorkers' side on this one....Steve's Pizza is the second worst thing I have ever put in my mouth. (Her name was "Two-Ton Tammy" from Cedar Rapids, Iowa) I've read every single review for Steve's and it has been described as "the greatest pizza ever made" to "s**t on a shingle" on Yelp. (I disagree with both but do tend to lean towards the latter) Now anyone who knows Steve's location in proximity to Johnson & Wales and Barry University along with their late night hours should figure out pretty fast that Steve's caters to the late night college crowd. And if you know anything about these two prestigious institutions, you would know that the term "higher learning" takes on a whole different meaning. Look, basically what I'm trying to get at is that you can't take the word of someone who had the munchies when they consumed Steve's Pizza. It's the equivalent of wearing beer goggles at a Janet Reno look-a-like contest!! (That's how I met Tammy) In all seriousness, this place is just plain bad. The pizza is lousy and tasteless, the inside could be cleaner (although I do dig the graffiti and photos) and I have always found the dudes behind the counter to be worse than rude....self righteous and arrogant. It's to the point to where I stopped coming into Steve's and I live right across the street, work late hours and love beer and pizza. If you don't believe me, try this little test next time you wind up there: Order your pizza and when they call your name to pick it up at the counter, don't answer or go up there right away....give it nine or ten seconds....watch what happens next. So in conclusion: Lousy pizza + Lousy treatment = 1 Star. (Zero stars is currently not an option on Yelp)
(1)Chris M.
My favorite pizza in Florida so far, it's a really cool place to hang out and get beer.
(5)AJ R.
One caveat... I''ve never eaten here without sporting a slight buzz. That being said, I love Steve's! We always end up here when the happy hour at Billy's comes to an end, which is to say after midnight. Despite the late hour, the crowd always resembles a cross section of the general North Miami population: an older cuban couple, some college kids from Barry or JWU, and a few friends looking to round out their night out with some good grub. The pizza comes out crispy and bubbling and topped generously. It is the embodiment of a good-old Italian-American, NY style pie. It's not coal fired, or bright and fresh the way Andiamo's makes pizza, but it is seriously good. Grab a friend, a cold Yuengling, and a hot slice and I promise you will not be disappointed.
(4)Steve H.
The pizza is some of the best in Miami, but Steve's is VERY DIRTY. There is no excuse for filth.
(2)Angelo R.
I wish there was a "NO STAR" rating so I can rate this place properly. 1st thing is the customer service which is basically doesn't exist. This place always has a rude girl behind the counter that has the worst phone skills and people skills. Yes this place is a landmark but not sure what is the buzz is about. I have been a resident of North Miami for 12 years and have tried this place numerous times both for personal consumption and office lunches. Twice we ordered 10 pies for work but my co-workers got sick because the dough was raw. We should have filed legal action on the food quality but didn't bother cause we simply will not order from this establishment anymore. I gave this place another shot today and was disappointed by the lack of courtesy of order taker. I was going to order 16 pies for my building maintenance but got turned off by the rudeness. I went to Anthony's Pizza instead and thank god..cause I never felt so welcomed and Anthony's ingredients are far superior!
(1)David C.
I hate having to decide between the regular Italian pizza and the Sicilian. The regular is a huge slice, but the Sicilian is so damn good. If you like pizza with a sweet sauce, this is the best pizza around. The slices are huge and the toppings at fresh and bountiful. It does get busy with locals... But always worth the wait.
(4)Petunia L.
yeah, this place the only thing that can be good is how cheap it is.. The pizza sauce is sweet which makes the pizza taste pretty bad. The place is also very small.
(1)Timothy S.
Are you looking for a hard-core pizza dive? This is a no-frills pizza place. I loved it. For me, I loved this place. 1) Pizza made fresh by a sweaty guy, 2) Pizza is hot and fresh, 3) Sauce is rich, thick, and spice-filled 4) Toppings are fresh and tasty!
(4)B D.
Chicken Parm Sandwich, closest to NYC
(5)Vincent V.
Best pizza in the state of Florida! They use an amazing recipe for the sauce and make me feel like I am back in Brooklyn. The inside of the location is a little run down, but I came for a good slice of pizza-
(5)Gilbert H.
Overrated is an understatement. I've heard of Steve's Pizza and was in the area so I ordered a large Pizza and garlic rolls to go which she said it would take about 20 minutes. I went over to the Home Depot and when I got back in about 30 minutes they where calling my name, that's sill timely. I went back to my Aunt's home in the Miami Shores which is about 15 minutes away. We sat down, opened up the box, the pizza looked great until we tried to serve it. Picked it up and was limp like a celery stalk that has been in the refrigerator for two months. The Pizza dough wasn't tasty and was way under baked, tasted very doughy. But the toppings were good and fresh but it takes the whole process of everything being executed together. And for the garlic rolls....not good unless you like a bunch of rolls stuck together with garlic and oil at the bottom the bag. I guess there's a lot of tourist in that area because to me it's a one time disappointment, I'll never return. The people were nice and polite and the place could use a good cleaning. I here the place was an institution at one time, well maybe in the old days but not now. The institution went south. As for an institution in the old days that would be... Marcella's on 13886 West Dixie Highway, Miami, Florida Now that's what you call an institution.
(1)Thomas D.
Great pizza, crispy and tasty. Always hits the spot. Haven't tried any of the other menu items.
(5)Dave C.
Sorry, and i don't wamt to sound like an obnoxious New Yorker but Steves Pizza would be a very Ordinary Fly By kinda Pizza joint in NYC. And does not compete with the finer Pizza Places on Long Island ( Colosseo, Branchinellis, Emilios,) just to name a few. Cool atmosphere and good service and good Pizza. I will go again..
(3)Brandi D.
Steve's Pizza can you deliver to PA? I recently found a pizza place that is kinda close to what you have there but not the same :( I miss you guys so much and I am planning my vacation to Miami ( I used to live right on Biscayne Blvd.) and I am going to visit your pizza shop EVERY SINGLE DAY atleast 1 time! I love this pizza so much! It is just perfect in every single way. The crust..the sauce..the toppings. This place is so busy and that should tell you something! Sure the place is kinda a hole in the wall but I remember waiting in the RAIN for 20mins just for this pizza. Thats another thing these people who work here seem to be super quick. Dang now my mouth is watering and I am 1200 miles away :( hahahhahahahahhaah
(5)Liliana E.
Great pizza but the location could really use a little TLC. It's very small and the bathroom is located outside, like at some gas stations. Again, great pizza and very busy place, but no reason to neglect fixing it up a little.
(4)Tanjila A.
I love this place! It's got a great atmosphere. I love how it's not trying to be anything other than what it is. Graffiti all over the walls, old school arcade machine with Donkey Kong, and great classic food. It's just one of those places you don't take seriously, it is what it is - awesome. Open late!
(5)Allen B.
Terrible food and service pappa johns and pizza hut are both better than this place. Yes they are open late but they are terrible.
(1)Caitlin G.
Steve's rules. The crust was super crispy and delicious, they aren't too heavy handed on the sauce and the slices are huge. There are a ton of great vegetarian options, at our table we had the spinach delight w/artichokes (AMAZING), an onion and mushroom, a spinach and eggplant and a couple other combos, they were all super tasty. It was pretty busy when we went (9PM on a Monday) and while all of of my friends food came out really fast, mine took at least 20 minutes. Aside from the fact that I kept making borderline creepy eye-contact with one of the employees and a smart car trapped my friend in the parking lot , we had a good experience. Will definitely be coming back, despite the morning garlic breath I had the next day even after vigorous teeth brushing.
(4)Carlos V.
This place rocks!!! Awesome slices for a late night snack.
(4)Michael C.
I said I would come back and I did. This time I came at 2 AM and ordered a slice. It was not best pizza I ever had, but it was pretty good! That sweet sauce was applied nicely to the slice and gave it a unique character that makes me understand it's rabid fans. The crust this time had a much better crisp to it and actually had some semblance to what you might get in a lower-end slice joint in New York, although I still wouldn't go that far. The cheese is still the weakest link, being extremely chewy and greasy, but cooking it properly definitely made it more palatable. The counter servers knew how to move the line, and the graffiti-covered seating area is pretty cool! Would like to see if this place can remain consistent.
(4)Frances G.
Best Pizza in Miami!!! If you are looking a fancy sit down pizza place, this is not it. If your looking for a waiting staff, this is not it. Steve's Pizza is there for one reason and one reason only, to give you damn good pizza. Its small compact place with graffiti all over the walls and in the booths (which is very limited) but the smell is amazing and the pizza is that good.

I got a plain cheese slice, so I could more easily evaluate the crust, sauce and cheese. The sauce was disgustingly sweet. I don't mean that someone took a pinch of sugar and added it to the pot to balance the acidity of the tomatoes. I mean that it tasted like there was a half-cup of sugar per gallon. Gaahk!! Now I know what Pizza Candy would taste like. I felt queesy for half an hour. Great crust, though.

My favorite place to get a cheese pie in Miami. Definitely New York style. The sauce is sweet and I love the crust. Reminds me of a neighborhood joint you would find in Brooklyn. Love the Miss Pac-Man in the corner and grafitti on the walls. This place is always filled with locals. Good sign! Note: Parking can be tough(Park at Home Depot) Seating is limited.

Slamm'n New York style pizza right here in North Miami. Unfortunately, they don't have a very big delivery radius. I live a half mile beyond their delivery boarder. LAME! They need to move a little further down Biscayne. Just a pipe dream, but I wish they would. On the positive, they are open late; so they're a good option for a late night fix. It's in a tiny shack of a place nestled right next to Home Depot. You can't miss it.

Not so sure why got so many good reviews? The garlic bread was drenched in oil. Literally, I could of filled a 6 oz glass full of oil that the bread was swimming in. Long wait and not that clean ... The pizza was ok but not so great ! Enjoy !
(1)Stephanie E.
Arguably the best pizza in Miami. Too far from my home...please open a location more south!
(5)J M.
The pizza is still pretty good. Now, the place itself is disgusting. They need to close down for a day and CLEAN. The kitchen, the air vents. Everything.
(2)A S.
This pizza reminds me a little of New York, Ave A pizza places.... Very thin, very crunchy, nice cheese and the right amount of tomato, which gets a little sweeter and sweeter as you get closer to the edgy crust. Not bad at all. I was actually impressed. I've had pizza from many places, Andiamo, Spris, Piola, Joey's, etc... But for this style of pizza (not Italian but either American) I will keep going back to Steve's Pizza. I just wish they would deliver just a bit farther so they could make it to my place. The place inside is very ghetto and pretty dirty looking. But hey, if you stick to the pizza and eat it outside, you won't be disappointed.
(4)Alissa W.
Yummy I been going here since I am child this is by far one of the best pizza places in Miami. The slices are the size of 2 pieces for $2.50 you cannot beat the prices, or the tasta. This place inside may scare you off don't let it trust me you can see by the line of people the food is good. They have the best tomato sauce I had had then any other pizze down here. If you are in the area definately go in for a slice, or pick up a pizza.
(5)Tatyana C.
The Best Pizza in Miami!!! I have been coming to Steve's for as long as I can remember, and it has always been great. I don't know what they put in the sauce but NO PIZZA CAN COMPARE to how awesomeeee Steve's is. Ohh and their garlic rolls so garlicky and cheesetastic... THE BEST. Bring a sharpie so you can leave your mark on Steve's, all the booths and so on are covered with graffiti. I love it, you have reading material while you eat. They also have tons of pictures with people who have gone to Steve's throughout the years including some celebs. The staff fits perfectly into Steve's atmosphere, with tattoos and piercings galore. I love it.. Every single time I am in the North Miami area it is very important for me to stop by Steve's, you should too.
(5)Jonathan C.
Not sure what the fuss was about. Got the pizza to go and it was decently price for the size of the pizza i guess. One of the pizzas was pepperoni and something else and the pepperoni for some reason reminded me of the pepperoni that used to be put on pizza they served at my high school. Best thing I can compare it to is maybe Costco pizza although costco pizza is pretty bomb. Maybe i just had my expectations to high. California has better pizza
(3)Leo V.
It's pizza and I feel like you can't go wrong with pizza but this place has got it right. They have quality toppings, fresh bread, and generous slices.
(4)David R.
I have been eating at Steve's since I was a kid and I am old. The Pizza is the best there is. Meatball topping are real meatballs sliced thin. The garlic rolls are killer, great eggplant subs, garlic rolls are perfect and a side of broccoli with melted cheese is fantastic. Top it off with a draft beer or coke-heaven! Friday night ritual. Yummmmmmmm.
(5)Rita E.
Steve's is an institution. My family and I have been coming here for years, and since it's the only restaurant open late for miles around, more often than not you can find my friends, me, and every other hungry bar-goer chowing down here at 2 in the morning. But Steve's doesn't amaze just because it's the only place for late night snacks. No, no! Their pizza is delicious: thin, doughy crusts lovingly slathered with cheese and tomato sauce. Their garlic rolls are even better! Very fluffy and garlicky, you'll fall in love. The counter is covered in hundreds of photos of customers over the years and it's definitely a testament to how many people have adored Steve's over time. It's not big, hardly bigger than a hole in the wall, but especially late at night, you'll thank yourself for grabbing a slice or three here.
(5)Carlos M.
Wow !! The best pizza so far that i have ever tasted. Their pizza sauce is what has me hooked, its sweet and goes very well with the Hawaiian. Their Garlic breads are to die for ! Very soft .. The only thing that sucks is that their customer service REALLY SUCKS ! Its EMBARRASSING that with such great pizza theirs that bad of service. I have called to place and ordered over the phone and they click on me without telling me a price, and talk to me very rude. Theirs no welcoming when u dine in ether. I still eat here whenever I'm in the mood for pizza , but it would be so awesome to have that Great CUSTOMER SERVICE to go along with the food .The place is very small but if u have someone else with you to grab a table wile your in the big line its Highly Recommended !!
(4)Ana K.
For a city as large as Miami, decent Pizza joints are like an endangered specie. Luckily, Steve's Pizza tastes delicious! I've only had the cheese pizza, and though it is a bit greasy, all the ingredients blend beautifully. Aside from the great pizza, Steve's is nothing to rave about. It's very small, covered with graffitti inside, and in need of a serious makeover. I wanted to mention that because it seems like some reviewers are rating what the restaurant looks like, rather than the food.
(4)Jameson J.
Great, thin, greasy pizza. Perfect pizza for after a few drinks. The pizza by the slice is huge - I'm talking as big as my head. Recommended by a North Miami local and I see why. Added bonus: the restaurant is open until 4 AM and has some nice outside seating near the road to watch traffic go by.
(4)Joaquin M.
I have come to Steve pizza on different occasions. The place looks pretty cool inside. And the Hours of Operations are pretty decent. And I run out of nice things to say about it. Most OVERRATED PIZZA PLACE, probably on all America. And Don't get me wrong, I wanted to like this place. But I can't make myself go through the horrible service and very forgettable pizza. Delivery anyone? Don't even think about it. Trust me! I have tried many times and all of them with a tragic end. I recently moved to Miami Shores. And I wanted to make Steve's pizza my pizza place , that aint happening! On one of my calls, I told the guy that I wanted a Margherita pizza. And he rudely told me he had no clue what that was... Really???? And you work on a pizza place???? I asked for shrimp on my pizza and I got a Steve pizza instead.. Everytime I called to complain , they gave me a( a-ha); and (sure whatever) attitude.... And The place really needs to close one day and get deep clean. It looks like those folks haven't clean in a long time.
(1)Pepe P.
One of my favorites pizza spots. Sauce is lil bit sweet good cheese great crust.
(4)luis r.
Just moved back to SoFla after 4 years in NY, was going through pizza withdrawals, no more, about as close as you can get without buying a roundtrip to the big apple!
(5)Elaine M.
This was the worst pizza I have tasted in years! If you like tomato sauce that taste like canned spegettios then this is for you. We ordered a whole pizza made to order, thecrust was not crispy, the cheese was not really melted and the sauce was like a ketchup spegettios just awful!!
(1)Lavi M.
Best pizza in Miami! Very New York-ish: huge slices w/ plenty of delicious fresh toppings. Oh... and VERY resonably priced! Do yourself a favor and grab a slice... or two... or three!!!
(5)Ericstevenc T.
Good pizza open real late !
(4)Chris M.
Ok I wrote a good review before but now not so good. I ordered a portion of lasagna, spaghetti and one slice to share with someone. When we got the food they used the same sauce in all three. It tasted disgusting because there was no variation. I had to throw it out. I really think their sauce for pizza is great but should stay for pizza. They really need a separate sauce for their other items.
(2)Frank E.
I have come to Steve's pizza many times, more than I care to count... and I have always enjoyed the pizza here... I would not have called it the best pizza in the world, but definitely a good pizza none-the-less.. That is until one day, I noticed they had Sicilian pizza on the menu... being a lover of Sicilian pizza I had high hopes for a freshly baked pizza, fluffy and full of fresh ingredients including that slightly sweet tomato sauce that Steve's uses... Needless to say I was not disappointed, like a soft warm pillow made from bread, covered in tomato sauce, cheese, and (in my case) mushrooms I was in heaven... having ordered an entire pizza I was pleasantly surprised to find that in addition to said heavenly ingredients, there were also several rolls baked on the top of pizza... so good... so very, very good... I was happy... I have found pizza nirvana
(5)Jenny C.
finally, a spot that makes real NJ non-gourmet pizza!! who wants a fancy square pizza...NEGATIVE! Thanks Steve, u saved my life in being 5 min away from my place haha :)
(5)Barney C.
If you like it THIN, this is the place. I never had NY-style pizza this good when I lived in NY. The fact that it is a great bang-for-the-buck place is a bonus.
(5)Carla B.
***Sauce is a little sweet, slices are huge and dirt cheap, staff is friendly, and they open 'til very late!*** I used to work nearby, and would get out of work at 2:30-3am on a Friday night, and this would be the place I'd go to. Staff is super nice, the place gets packed. And I will agree with the "all-drunks-go-there-to-eat" part (depends what time you go, of course). But even drunk at 2:30am, I'm still able to make judgment and say I hate the Denny's behind right the building! So pizza can't be bad as a couple of people have called it. Btw, I HAVE been here during the day, sober, as well. Sheesh...! ;-P I really like the sweet-ish tomato sauce they use. My advice, though: don't order it with too many toppings, because the crust is thin and it can get soggy with the water of veggies and weight of toppings. Stick to plain good ol' cheese. I love it, really. Can't rate calzones or anything else since I've never ordered anything else. Also, they have parking and cops go there a lot, so it's safe. It isn't gourmet pizza. It's street pizza! But it's great street pizza! :-)
(5)Constantin L.
Very nice lunch place. Pizza is great especially the sauce! A very small place, but has very rich history! Highly recommended for lunch and quick snack!
(5)NORI R.
You can't find better pizza than this !! The sauce is sweet and I wish I had their recipe, its amazing a sweet basil taste and their garlic rolls, ahhhh its heaven, if you are in the area by a slice n see. The only down side to this place is the parking and the seating inside, they are both very limited and you have to wait to park then wait to sit and wait to get your pizza but its organized and they are very nice family like authentic italian place. We order ahead to save time and then sit outside to eat it.
(5)Miami R.
I grew up in New York and have always loved pizza. I've done the Miami's Best, Casola's, Andiamo and such. I had grown used to having decent pizza, but I finally listened to someone and tried Steve's. Hands down the best pizza in Miami. I only wish I had tried them sooner and saved myself the love hate that is trying pizza at different places. Crispy crust, good sauce and just plain done right. Awesome. Enjoy!
(5)Mike E.
In my opinion, this is the best Pizza in South Florida. As close and as good as NY Pizza as it gets! If lived closer to this place i would probably set a tent in the parking lot and live off pizza for a few months. Seriously. and a place that is open to graffiti...what else do you want?
(5)Theron N.
I don't know what people are talking about, the place is a dump (it needs to be cleaned, everything is filthy), the pizza is OK, the service is rude boarding on obnoxious. I filthy place that hates its customers and serves mediocre pizza shouldn't exist- hope it closes down.
(1)Louisa A.
The pizza here could be great if the sauce wasn't so sweet, it tastes like sugar tomato sauce. It was the first thing that i noticed about this pizza. The crust and cheese is good, but is done a terrible disservice by the overly sweet sauce. Sorry, I really wanted to like it :(
(2)Brittney W.
big, delicious slices and friendly staff (minus that one cashier that always gives me attitude). closes in the wee hours of the a.m., good for those late night munchies. remember to bring your own paint, markers, whatever. writing on the walls is encouraged but you must supply your own materials!
(4)Caitlin G.
The sauce is amazing BUT the cooks were stingy tonight on my sauce serving. I ordered the ziti and meatballs but the sauce was blanketed under the thick layer of cheese. I lifted the single layer of cheese to find an insufficient amount of their famous sauce on top of part of the ziti. I asked the cook for more sauce but he proceeded to tell me what I already knew - that the sauce was under the cheese. I arrived home, dug into the dish and before I knew it I was left with a pile of plain ziti - No sauce was left. C'mon now - I'm paying $11 for some noodles and two meatballs so I'd better get some more of the damn sauce next time. What's worse is that I always hype Steve's up but tonight when I'm really hungry they let me down with a disappointing un-saucy meal.
(2)Greg A.
Quite simply, it's the best pizza in Miami. They serve the thin crust NYC-style pizza here like you'll find in many Miami pizza joints, but Steve's has one important ingredient that is missing in a lot of local pizzerias - taste. Unlike a lot of places here that think that sauce is something optional on a pizza like sausage or pineapple (like pretty much every pizza place on SoBe), Steve's sauce is the key to its success. The sauce Steve's uses on its pizza is a sweet sauce that you just don't taste in other pizzas - it's like tomato sauce mixed with ambrosia decanted from the gods themselves. Okay, well, maybe that's going a bit far, but it's still the best pizza sauce I've ever tasted. The restaurant itself is small and cramped and probably looks the much the same as it did in the '70s. Finding a place to sit can be tricky at times because Steve's popularity combined with the small seating space usually means that most of the tables are occupied. You can damn near forget about finding a table after midnight on a weekend, because it seems like everyone, their mother, and the horse they rode in on are all there satisfying a late night pizza craving. I've never had Steve's deliver to my place, but I don't know if I'd recommend getting delivery. They're small and constantly busy, so I'd imagine that short of ordering when the place first opens, you'll be looking at a really long wait time to get your pie.
(4)Javier P.
its hard to find good pizza here in Miami. This is one of my top choices for my pizza cravings while I'm in Miami.
(4)Aimee Y.
Don't love it, but if it's 3am and you are drunk, it's the best pizza in the WORLD! Plus, it's the only thing open if you don't want Denny's. Must say though, the slices are GINORMOUS and filling! Steve's is always packed, but honestly, I don't think their pizza tastes very good, sorry. Sauce is too sweet, crust lacks flavor, just bleh...
(2)RD S.
I agree with everyone who mentioned the environs--it reminds me of Pepper's Pizza in Chapel Hill before they moved into their new home. Very gritty--covered with the patron pictures, graffiti, awards, a placard stating that this is THE best pizza (in Miami, I assume). I also love that the indoor booths have rolls of paper towels. As tacky as it looks, I wish more casual eateries did this instead of giving you flimsy mass-produced paper napkins. Also agree with everyone's assessment with of the pizza--very sweet pizza sauce, crispy crust. Liked it. Will go back, get more pizza and pair it up with a beer in the future.
(5)Ravi B.
Starting off, this place deserves special mention for selling Newcastle bottles for $3! Selling Newcastle seems rare enough, but, at $3, is something. Then, the garlic rolls hit you - strong, tangy garlic bathed in maybe too much oil. Thankfully, Newcastle is cheap enough to order more to cleanse your palette. The soups (chicken and pasta fagioli) are hearty, if not memorable. Of course, the real reason for coming here is pizza and the first thing that grabs you is the tomato sauce on the pizza - a little sweet and very little hint of acidity. Very surprising. I am a simpleton when it comes to pizza - cheese, tomato, basil, no fuss. It is surprising how many places cannot do that right. However, on a return trip, that simple mix was all out of whack - too much cheese, which killed the tomato and underplayed the basil. I have heard the artichoke pizza is very good here and if none of the food grabs you, there is always that Newcastle...
(4)Yislin C.
This place is always slammin'. I'm kinda addicted to their garlic rolls. Sloppy, garlicky goodness in every bite. I know I shouldn't reach for another but I can't stop myself. They are like kryptonite. If only they had buffalo mozzarella, Oh please, please get some! The dudes at the register are always friendly. Last time I was here I was asked where my name was from? I expressed that I was Cuban. And the dude was like "oh, I thought you were from someplace exotic." My response was " no, just Cuba" I've since decided that when someone asks me where my name and I are from, I will say someplace exotic like Bangladesh, Turkey, Istanbul not Constantinople as to not disappoint. You know what doesn't disappoint? Steve's Pizza! Whether a drunken carb fest, a pizza and a movie masturdate, Sunday beerfest party for friends, a hunger strike gone awry- Steve's Pizza is on point. Fresh, hot, saucy, carby and delicious. When hunger stikes, I listen, I don my grubbin' clothes and Steve's does it just right!
(4)Michelle C.
I order from here all the time but I had to give a 3 star because service is horrible! They hurry you up on the phone all the time. Plus if you add extra meat on your pizza and it costs like $4 and they literally put 1/2 a cup only! Over all their sauce is authentic and garlic rolls are very tasty! :)
(3)David S.
Pretty good pizza. Some truly obnoxious employees. Run down interior. U use the bathrooms at your own risk. Horrendous. Never saw anything like them anywhere :- ( This place must have been a gas station years ago.
(2)Kara C.
Pizza is good but they refuse to deliver west of N. Miami Ave....seriously??? Not only do they refuse to deliver, they are extremely rude about it. "we will not send our drivers into the neighborhoods west of N. Miami Ave." Are you kidding me? It's Miami Shores, one of the nicest neighborhoods in Miami. It's 3.4 miles from your location??? On a more positive note, we would have never found Piccolo Pizza (which by the way is farther from our house) had it not been for Steve's upper echelon delivery policy! Thank you Steve's Pizza!
(3)Tamy S.
Best pizza in Miami!!! Pepperoni rocks my socks off and the sauce is sweet and tasty =) Order 1 more slice than you think you want...I get mine with pepperoni and garlic. The garlic rolls are off the chain! Soft, garlicly and herby. The atmosphere is like a skating rink with arcade games and writing all over the walls. It's really small and cozy and there's outdoor seating. My boyfriend has been eating here since 1974 and he says that it hasn't changed a bit. I love Steves!!! I am totally willing to drive out of my way (I live about 30 min away) to eat here. 5 stars hands down
(5)Mimi S.
It's a cool late night spot to hangout & chill with friends but that's it. I wouldn't go back there for the pizza or anything else on the menu. I tried really hard to like this place & went back several times because it was the only place that stayed open super late by my boyfriend's apartment other than Denny's. The menu has nothing special disappointed with my meatball sub, my cheese bread & garlic rolls. The last time I went I ordered a pizza to go, when I got home I found it was still RAW dough in the center of my pizza. They only baked it half way....so I finally had to stop giving this place a chance & I cringe every time I drive by Steven's because I have flashbacks of uncooked pizza dough covered in sauce .
(1)Candice L.
Steve's Pizza is not only legendary,,It is tried and true Delicious!!!,,From the time it is made freshly in front of you until the time you devour it on your tastebuds and then go back and ask for more. Yes,,I have even had the pleasure of them showing me how to make and toss a pizza,,Yes,,that is how good it is! In addition,,they do have fresh herbs such as basil,,oregano and rosemary growing in the dining area which you may ask to pick from and top your pizza.. Enjoy! For Steve's Pizza is a gem and they deliver! :) Open VERY late as an additional bonus!!! P.S. Do NOT listen to the New Yorkers! This is better than NY. Welcome to Miami!!!
(5)Leon W.
Best ghetto-gourment NYC pizza in Miami! Thin, crispy crust with slightly sweet savory sauce.... delicious! Go for the meat toppings! Garlic rolls are off the hook! wings could use a little work on.... never really tried anything else.
(5)Gregg F.
I have been going to Steve's Pizza for almost 40 years. I still remember their original location on NE 164th Street in North Miami Beach. Steve's still has the best pizza and garlic rolls in South Florida. I give Steve's Pizza 5 stars. By Gregg L. Friedman MD, Psychiatry, Hallandale Beach, FL
(5)Katie L.
I'm from NJ and grew up with pizza as a constant in my life. So it means a lot to me to eat a good slice that reminds me of what I grew up with. Steve's pizza to me is one of those places that serves great pizza and has the atmosphere of a great pizza joint. It's the best at those late night moments when fast food doesn't seem too appealing to eat. The sauce they use is really great, it's full of flavor that other places can't grasp. I am definitely a big fan of their sausage pizza and white pizza as well. My place of work orders pies from here every friday and that means something. Their pizza is consistently delicious, I'm glad it's open late at night and also during the day. These people are serious about their food and it shows. I recommend going here anytime you're nearby, it's always nice to eat a slice of good tasting pizza.
(4)Paul H.
My girlfriend was craving pizza for lunch and I found Steve's Pizza on urbanspoon. I read F' off I'm Full's review and thought this would be an excellent place to try out since it wasn't a chain like Pizza Hut, Dominos, etc. We ordered a whole large pizza since it was "cheaper" but the total came out to ~$23 for their "supreme". Wait time was about 15-20 minutes. The crust was delicious! But everything else was "meh". The green pepper and sausage didn't seem too fresh and the tomato sauce tasted a bit plain (not enough salt?). All booths were filled so you may need to wait a bit if dining in. I'm not deterred from this place because I could have ordered the incorrect specialty pizza. Next time I'll try something more popular and plain like pepperoni. The price should be in the $$$ $15-$25 range for specialty pizzas. $$ $10-$15 is for one topping larges.
(1)Sophie D.
The best pizza in North Miami! Fast service, friendly, and intresting staff. I love to the pepperoni and mushroom pizza with a side of garlic rolls. The pizza is kinda greasy so might want to dab it with a napkin first. Another very good neighborhood spot to hit up. The place is little and has outside seating. There also a lot of history written on the chairs.
(5)Rikki G.
Steve's Pizza is one of Miami's best-kept secrets. This hole in the wall is home to Miami's best pizza. They have a vested interest in their customers, which is evident by all the pictures on the wall. Their special tomato sauce is what makes their pizza so good; you don't even need toppings because it's great as is. The concept is simple, good pizza at a good price; however going there is definitely an experience. I would recommend Steve's for anyone looking for just plain and simple great pizza!
(5)Latoya S.
OK so I'm not trying them again.. I don't know, maybe I'm missing something, but I really don't know what all the hype is about.. My best friend, my ex, and my husband go on and on about this place; and all 3 have dragged me in there (on different occasions of course) but yet and still I always come out disappointed... and low and behold, they always end up saying "OK, they must be just having a bad day" :/ I'm sorry but I've tasted way better pizza than this and the last time I was there the place looked a lil dingy (Den-G), like it could really use a visit from the health department.. I'm just say n..
(2)Christine C.
I looooove this place! The pizza is just amazing and even though some people don't like the graffiti, I actually like it. Gives it a unique look. Definitely recommend giving it a try.
(5)Sahel T.
Delicious pizza, parking isn't the best, but thats okay. Friendly staff, cool people.. They should expand the sitting areas, and parking lots, but they don't have much to work with, theres a huge HOME DEPOT robbing their real estate.
(4)David G.
What can I say that locals and others who know of this awesome little place called steve's that already hasn't been said? They are good, damn good!!! Likely the best pizza joint in Miami. Seriously! These guys make pizza EXACTLY like many good pizza places in NYC. I'm sure that the rock music and the writing all over the seats won't appeal to everyone, (I don't mind it at all) but I guess that's their thing. Well I usually go for a slice, maybe two if I'm really hungry. Well I could blabber on about what toppings I like, or the fact that I can only come here while at work. (I don't live nearby) but if you ever happen to be anywhere nearby, definitely come on down and get yourself some super awesome pizza made relatively quickly. And if you're smart like the locals are, call in your order to ensure the best quality pizza goodness!
(5)Daan K.
definitely my fav pizza place in miami for ny style pizza this place is a local fav and its obviously known for its cheese pizza although there isn't much room - its one of those places you want to eat in highly recommend the pizza any night of the week!
(5)Shaun D.
Seriously any person giving this place more than two stars ,, Has never eaten Pizza out of the 305 area code !!
(1)Aris F.
I admit that I went to Steve's with a bit of an attitude, expecting to be disappointed with the pizza, which has been my usual experience with most of the pizzerias around town. Turns out I was more than pleasantly surprised by how good the pizza tastes. Chewy crust that is just a little crisp on the bottom. Good sauce, one that is sweeter than you'll find at most pizzerias. The sausage could be a lot better, spicier and less fatty-tasting, but the pepperoni is very good. A lot of their customers are there for takeout orders, but many choose to have their meals at one of the handful of booths around the restaurant, which is on the small side. Compared to, say, a Pizzeria Blu, or Andiamo, or Anthony's, the place is lacking in the glamor department. It kind of reminds me of the kind of pizza joint the teens of American Graffiti or Happy Days might have hung out at. Prices are a bit on the high side for the quantity of food you get and the ambiance of the dining area. The staff could be a little friendlier, but they get the job done. Overall, I'd say it's worth a try if you like NY-style pizza. Not the best pizza in the Miami area by any stretch of the imagination, but still pretty good.
(4)Laura C.
I don't know what it is about this place, but anyone that likes it is brain washed. After hearing about how amazing Steve's Pizza is from a couple of co-workers I decided to drag my husband down to North Miami to try it. There was a bit of a line but nothing intolerable. Once we placed our order and received our drinks we proceeded to sit down. I found the entire restaurant pretty dirty and at this point I began to lose my appetite. The pizza finally came out and it looked delicious so I started to feel better about eating. Well it looked delicious but it wasn't. The pizza is so disgustingly greasy. The sauce was really sweet for my taste but I suppose others might like it that way. We managed to only get through 2 slices and brought the rest home. For about 2 days after I felt like I had drank a bottle of oil and it was just sitting at the back of my throat. Reheating the pizza made it even more greasy. I will never eat at Steve's Pizza again.
(1)Hayley M.
Best NY-style pizza in Miami! The crust is PERFECT! The sauce is a little sweet, but good. The cheese pizza is to die for! LOVE LOVE LOVE this pizza!
(5)Ottis T.
its always open late when you need a quick snack!
(3)Adrian P.
This place has been voted Miami's best pizza by the New Times, and the reason it won this award is the same reason I keep coming back. It really is the BEST PIZZA in Miami. Hands down, this is a must try, it did not win the award for cutest restaurant or fancy schmancy-ness, it is just the best pizza. The inside decoration is basic, simple and truly unique which fits this place so well. Beyond the modest furniture, and old tile floor, you see hand written graffiti, notes and random things written by patrons, some obviously after a long hard night of drinking. To the point , tho, the pizza is simply amazing, I have had it after a long night and other times in the middle of the day sober, each time its just as amazing. I do not know what they do or how they do it to make the pizza, but it is simply the best. I have enjoyed the cheese many times and this simple dish has so many flavors it really is amazing. Stop reading this and go fall in love. STEVES FOR LIFE
(5)Antwan E.
After leaving the Sade concert fairly late, we were searching for a place to eat. We drove north on Biscayne Blvd and had decided on Denny's when this little gem caught out attention. Hoping it was still open, much to our delight...they're open till 4a.m.!!!!! I had the Sausage and Meatball Parm Hoagie and ordered a Tuna sub to go...(just in case I got snacky during the night, lol). The sauce was AMAZING!! Sweet and zesty and the meat was delish. A really great late night spot to grab a bite. Next time I'll try the pizza which I'm sure won't disappoint.

LOVE this place!! I have been coming here for over 15 years and it is the best pizza in Miami. I usually get pick up or delivery because the place is small and always packed. The pizza, garlic rolls, chicken parmigan, everything is good and never disappoints. They are open late 7 days a week and was a usual late night stop in my younger days!! Everyone that I take here loves it and no other pizza in miami compares. Just ordered it the other night.....yum!!!

Meatball subs and pizza are tops. Counter help is friendly, I sometimes have issues with them forgetting to call out the to go orders.

Awesome pizza and. Garlic rolls. This place reminds me of Leonardo's pizza in Gainesville. The decor is very vintage inside. I will be returning for sure!

Some of the best pizza I have ever had, hands down. (And trust me, I have had a lot of pizza!). Okay, so maybe this place isn't the classiest place I've ever had a meal, but who cares? You come here for the pizza alone and it's worth it. The sauce is slightly sweet. The crust is perfectly thin and crispy. The cheese is gooey. Each slice is a monstrosity. This place is a Miami gem disguised as a dingy restaurant along US 1. The garlic rolls hold there own here too.

From Texas and nothing can compare to Steve's Pizza. I have been to North Miami twice and was hooked the first time. Great service,friendly employees and lovely surrounding. Both times I have been there the line is out the door and now I know why. Awesome Pizza. Well defiantly come back every time I visit.

we are regulars at Steves and we loved their pizza but today for the first time I requested a pepperoni with extra cheese pizza and I got a dry I would say almost no cheese and cold pizza to go.....not going back for a while....sorry...

This pizza is pretty much as consistently solid as any pizza around. I would say the closest pizza to compare this to down here would be primo pizza and i like steves better. i like primo alright but i like the sauce at steve's. it has this sweetness i think that makes it pretty original. i love the friend eggplant topping as well. i have also ordered the spaghetti with red clam sauce which is also pretty good although a little oily. for a great slice or pie though steve's is a great choice.
(4)Rob C.
good pizza--nice crust, yes sauce is sweeter, though vege toppings a little lacking. I think you should order the meat variety. garlic dinner rolls are excellent, like everyone has mentioned. I think this place fits well as a late nite snack pizzeria

This place is one of the all time greats in Pizza. Sweetest sauce since Nunzios Pizza in Staten Island, New York. It has a great atmosphere to match. The only thing I would do is try and keep the place a little cleaner throughout the day.

Ive been going to steves pizza for 25 years. I know its weird but true. Theyre a landmark with pretty good food. At times it seems like they change the sauce but at the end of the day the food is normally on point. Its a little ghetto inside but I guess that makes the ambiance. biggest problem the have is their bathrooms are outside of the building on the side. So if its raining you re screwed....

Love this pizza!!!! Best pizza in town! Kinda of expensive but worth it!
(5)rhett t.
Best in the area. The crust is usually excellent, saucy is sweet and tangy like I like it. Cheese coverage, cooking and design are excellent. My only small gripe is the toppings are inconsistent and not great.
(4)Steven S.
Pizza is good. I've had better. Sauce doesn't taste homemade. Crust wildly inconsistent - too thin to sustain cheese in places. Being from Brooklyn, most Brooklyn places I've eaten at are better. Anthony's Coal is better.
(3)Kenneth B.
Best pizza in town! Prove me wrong...
(4)Oscar A.
Ive been going to Steves for over 20 years, hands down the best pizza in Miami... You gotta love the times there open and there layed back atmospher and what makes it even better now ia that they serve Pepsi....
(5)Erin C.
I would often visit the one down south when I was a kid. I go now because it's simply good pizza and it always has a diverse assortment of characters. Sometimes I think that makes the pizza taste even better.

Delivery heaven. On the menu for three hungry homebodies: medium pepperoni and jalapeno pizza, order of 3 garlic rolls, all for less than $20 and brought straight to my door. Couch surfing never tasted this good.
(4)Tania Elizabeth O.
The pizza is great! Awesome place for late night munchies! The wings could definately use more seasoning and flavor! the staff is great though!! Great hang out place!
(4)Jennifer C.
Just as others have said it is pretty good pizza. We ordered a med cheese pizza and half a dz of their cheese garlic rolls. What makes Steve's Pizza memorable is the hint of sweetness in their sauce, just wish they were more generous with it. BF loved their cheese garlic rolls, and although I'm not a fan of them ... Steve's were one of the best, if not the best. 8)

Pretty good NY style pizza here. I tried the cheese slice and it was pretty damn good. Of course, I've had better in NYC, but Steve's deserves some accolades. I'm not sure if this is the norm, but there was a long line out the door when we came. It took a good amount of time standing and waiting in cramped circumstances to order. Their toppings are very good. I tried the pepperoni and it was special in both texture and taste.
(4)Kev G.
Steve's is the BEST!!! Everyone from JWU goes there all the time and they are open late! I used to live in Aventura, and North Miami, and I moved back to Jersey last year. Man do I crave Steve's all the time! And the writing all over the walls is so unique! Sign the walls!
(5)Bryan D.
I've been eating at Steve's for about 10 years and I still think it's the best pizza in South Florida. I love the sweet tomato sauce used in the recipe!
(5)Kevin W.
This is the true definition of a "joint." You should have seen it back in the day before it was slightly remodeled though. Pizza here is the attraction. Great garlic rolls as well. Their meatball sub and chicken parm sub are pretty good from what I recall but have not ordered them for awhile. Try the pepperoni, spinach, and onions. You can get double dough as well. The sauce is amazing.

Great new York style pizza! Very Pricey
(4)Gilles H.
I heard so much about it let's do it... The place is really packed. Pizzas are huges and really cheap. Pizza looks like Mario the baker, is not the best pizza, but it's not bad neither. Is just a regular fast food pizza no special taste... Sorry.

This is hands down the best Pizza in Miami. I used to work around this area a couple of years ago and I would always hit up Steve's for Peperoni slices during lunch. I recently went back and pleased to say their quality is still second to none. Thin crust, semi-sweet tomato sauce, generous cheesy slices. If you are looking for great pizza, Steve's is the place. However, don't go for ambiance it's a small place with limited seating.

I'm not hatin' or anything but I'm surprised by all the comments saying this is NY-style pizza. As a frequenter of NYC(and its pizza) this ain't it. Hey, maybe I got a bad batch or something as I've only been there once. Steve's is not the best but it's not bad either. The sauce is sweet which I actually liked. I prefer a thinner/crispier crust and this was more on the bready/soft side. Steve's is cool because it's open late. I think they're open 'til 3 a.m. on the weekend and that's pretty great. If you've been out and you're heading home and need something to soak up the alcohol, Steve's is the place to go. People write all over the booths which is actually kinda cool because you feel like you're living North Miami history. All in all, OK pizza.

Pizza is delicious. I've had NY pizza in NY. Usually better than anything down here, EXCEPT, Steve's.
(5)John H.
Pizza is a must try best pizza I ever had! They are open late they sell beer and it's perfect pricing for college student and regular people!
(5)Stephanie R.
My first time at Steve's pizza was yesterday and it wont be my last :) This is a great pizza spot if you're out late, we arrived at about 1 in the morning. The place itself has a lot of character, bring a marker and you'll be able to tag up some furniture. The employees are helpful and laid back. They have a wide selection of pizzas and calzones, I ordered the vegetarian calzone and man oh man was it GREAT! My brother ordered a plain cheese pizza and it didn't disappoint. My brother and I call ourselves pizza connoisseurs lol and Steve's pizza passed the test especially when we considered how cheap it is. All in all this is a good spot to go to if you're out late and want some good pizza :D
(4)Greg C.
We order our delivery from here. Takes FOREVER and is ok pizza. Sorry NY bias here hard to live up to.
(3)Joshua C.
I love this place, great Pizza. Ingredients are solidly good and this is real NYC pizza -- if you like that. I've been twice and found some inconsistency in the sauce flavor, but both were good.
(4)Michelle B.
Hands down...best pizza in Miami...
(5)John L.
One of the finest pies in Florida; if you like pepperoni theirs is the stuff of dreams!
(4)James K.
Decent Pizza, I guess it tastes a lot better because it is the only thing opened in the area around 4 Am besides Danny's. I would like to see it cleaned up a little and maybe have the people making the pizza wear hair nets and gloves would be nice. Sometimes the slices are too small. I complained once to the "Pizza Chef" and he gave me an attitude and told me to take it. They also dont take cards for under 5 dollars which i dont know if that is even legal and dont take AMEX. so better bring your cash. also no place to sit a lot of the times.

Nice little pizza dive stuck in the 90s. You can get pizza by the slice!!! This isn't my favorite pizza place in Miami, but it is a really good second place & since it is conveniently located I eat there more often. NOTE OF CAUTION: When ordering to go always check your pizza. Sometimes they reheat old dried out pizza and that is never a pleasant surprise when you get home to eat.
(3)Ronnie F.
Great ny-style pizza, with the ny-style pizzeria atmosphere. We're not talking Patsy's here; we're talking filthy floors, paper plates, paper towels, and walls adorned with 4x6 photos of Steve's best patrons. Word of caution: if you don't like sweet pizza sauce, get a calzone with marinara or some other entree, or avoid Steve's altogether. The pizza sauce has a sweet tang. Aside from the pizza, the garlic rolls are amazing. They're quite a good value, too. Steve's is a Miami establishment. It's been there as long as I could remember. My bro and I love the culture there; it's one of the few OLD Miami pizzerias. I think they are open till 3 or 4 am most nights, and my we've been surprised to find them open even as hurricanes are coming through. I think they have backup gas ovens, so they light up a few candles and invite everyone scouring for food after the storms. Thumbs up. Check it out if you haven't!
