Best Pizza in Fort Lauderdale: 12 Places Worth the Drive (2026)
Fort Lauderdale is a better pizza town than it gets credit for. Within a few miles of downtown you can get a Michelin-recognized pie in Flagler Village, a coal-fired Neapolitan on Las Olas, a Detroit square by the marina, and a two-dollar NY slice on Oakland Park Boulevard. We run a wood-fired pizza kitchen inside our brewery in Progresso Village, so we eat a lot of pizza and we have opinions. This guide covers twelve places we would send a friend to, grouped by style, with the address, what to order and what to expect. Hours change often in this town, so check before you drive.
How we picked
Every place on this list is open as of September 2026 and sits in Fort Lauderdale or one of the neighboring cities people count as Fort Lauderdale (Wilton Manors and Oakland Park). We grouped by style because "best" depends on what you want: a Neapolitan pie that is soft and blistered is not trying to be a foldable New York slice, and a Detroit square is a different food again. We included ourselves once, in the wood-fired section, and tried to be as honest about our own pizza as about everyone else's. Prices are not listed because they move; expect $18 to $27 for a specialty pie at the sit-down places and a few dollars a slice at the counters.
Heritage — Flagler Village (the critics' pick)
Heritage, at 903 NE 5th Ave on the south edge of Flagler Village, is the pizza place in Fort Lauderdale that food critics talk about. Chef Rino Cerbone grew up in his family's Pizza Time in Coral Springs and opened Heritage as a modern New York-style pizzeria; it earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand, which the restaurant displays on its site. The Bronx is the plain cheese pie to judge it by, and the squash blossom pizza with cold-pulled burrata is the one people photograph. Beer and wine only. It is closed Monday and Tuesday and takes reservations, which you will need on a weekend.
Mister O1 Extraordinary Pizza — Flagler Village (thin crust, star-shaped)
Mister O1 started in Miami and its Flagler Village location at 415 NE 4th St brings the same ultra-thin crust and the signature Star Luca, a star-shaped pie with ricotta-stuffed points and spicy Calabrese salami. The Coffee Paolo, with honey, Gorgonzola and coffee, sounds wrong and works. It is walk-in only, with indoor and outdoor seating and an open kitchen, and it does takeout and delivery. This is the place for someone who thinks they do not like thick crust.
Patio Bar & Pizza — Progresso Village (closest to us)
Patio Bar & Pizza, at 901 Progresso Dr in the MASS District, is about half a mile from our door and the pizza place we would name if you asked where else to go in the neighborhood. It bakes a sourdough crust in an Italian brick oven with Bianco DiNapoli tomatoes and Grande cheese, cooks without seed oils, and pairs it with a full bar and a dog-friendly patio with a fire pit and screens. It opens in the evening on weekdays and earlier on weekends, and closes late, so it is the pizza to get after a show at Revolution Live or a Flagler Village art walk.
Gulf Stream Brewery & Pizzeria — NE 13th St (brewery pizza)
Gulf Stream Brewing at 1105 NE 13th St is the other Fort Lauderdale brewery with a pizza kitchen. Pizzeria Magaddino runs the counter inside the taproom, mixing traditional and modern styles on an artisan crust, with vegan pies and a gluten-free crust available, and the brewery pours its own beer alongside. If you want to compare brewery pizza head to head, Gulf Stream and Uncommon Path are the two stops, about two miles apart.
Pizza Craft — Himmarshee (wood-fired downtown)
Pizza Craft, at 330 Himmarshee St in the downtown entertainment district, is the wood-fired option nearest the Broward Center and Riverwalk. The spicy soppressata, the tomato and basil, and the bianca are the pies regulars order, and there is a hidden speakeasy cocktail bar, The Apothecary 330, behind the restaurant. It is closed Monday and open for lunch and dinner the rest of the week, with online ordering for pickup and delivery.
Louie Bossi's — Las Olas (Neapolitan with a piazza)
Louie Bossi's Ristorante Bar Pizzeria, at 1032 E Las Olas Blvd, is the big-night-out pizza: wood-burning Neapolitan pies, house-cured salumi and an in-house bakery, served in a restaurant with an outdoor piazza, a fire pit, a bocce court and a bar that stays open until 1 or 2 AM. It is open daily from late morning until midnight. Expect a wait on weekends and valet parking.
Luigi's Coal Oven Pizza — Las Olas (coal-fired Neapolitan)
Luigi's, at 1415 E Las Olas Blvd, bakes thin Neapolitan-style pies in a coal oven, and the Margherita Neapolitan is the order. There is a wine bar and craft cocktails, a heated patio that welcomes dogs, and a free lot behind the building, which on Las Olas is worth as much as the pizza. Open daily for lunch and dinner.
Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza — S Federal Hwy (the original)
Anthony's is now a national chain, but the first one opened in 2002 at 2203 S Federal Hwy in Fort Lauderdale and it is still there. The pizza is coal-fired at around 900 degrees, served "well done" with a charred edge and Pecorino Romano, and the meatballs with ricotta are the side everyone gets. It is open daily with delivery and pickup, and it is the reliable choice near the 17th Street Causeway and the port.
Big Louie's — Sunrise Blvd and Sistrunk (NY style since 1986)
Big Louie's has been making New York-style pizza in Fort Lauderdale since 1986. The Sunrise Boulevard location at 1990 E Sunrise Blvd, near Victoria Park, is the original and has a Sicilian deep-dish option and a small beer and wine bar. There is also a location on Sistrunk Boulevard at 1712 NW 6th St, about a mile from our taproom, and one on Cypress Creek Road. It is the family pizza night answer: open daily, dine-in, takeout and delivery.
Times Square Pizza Parlor — Oakland Park Blvd (the slice)
For a slice, go to Times Square Pizza Parlor at 2304 E Oakland Park Blvd in Coral Ridge. It has been a counter-service New York slice shop for more than twenty years, with calzones, stromboli and a deep-dish slice for a few dollars, outdoor seating and free parking. Open daily; Sundays it opens in the afternoon.
Blue Steel Pizza Co. — Marina Village (Detroit style)
Blue Steel Pizza Co. moved its Fort Lauderdale operation to 849 Seabreeze Blvd in Marina Village, by the 17th Street Causeway and the beach, and it is the city's Detroit-style square: thick, crisp-edged pies baked in blue-steel pans, with names like Tiger King and Play That Funghi Music, and a full bar that runs late on weekends. Note that the earlier Commercial Boulevard location has closed, so use the Seabreeze address.
Moon Pizza Pie at Satellite Pinball Lounge — Oakland Park
Moon Pizza Pie, inside Satellite Pinball Lounge at 3501 N Dixie Hwy in Oakland Park, is a New York-style pizza counter attached to a bar with a couple dozen pinball machines at a dollar a game. The Eclipse, with sausage, cup-and-char pepperoni, ricotta, basil and hot honey, is the pie to order. Beer and wine only, and kids are fine at dinner hours. It is a ten-minute drive north of our taproom and the best pizza-plus-something-to-do option in the area.
Dolce Salato — Wilton Manors (Italian-owned, plus gelato)
Dolce Salato Pizza & Gelato, at 2406 Wilton Dr on the main strip in Wilton Manors, is an Italian-owned pizzeria where the Margherita Classica is the benchmark and the house-made gelato is the reason to stay. It does takeout and delivery and is a short walk from the rest of Wilton Drive's bars. Check the day of the week before you go; its posted hours have a mid-week closing day.
Uncommon Path Brewing — Progresso Village (wood-fired, at a brewery)
That's us, at 710 NW 5th Ave, Suite 1071, in the Thrive Art District between Progresso Village and Flagler Village. We cook every pizza in an on-site wood-fired oven over live hardwood, and the menu runs from a straightforward NY-style cheese pie to pies like the Truffle Peach (truffle ricotta, pancetta, peaches, hot honey, mint and basil), a Meatball pizza finished with ricotta and basil, and a Buffalo Chicken pie. What makes us different from everyone else on this list is the beer: it is brewed in the same building, and a NY Cheese pie is on the happy hour menu Monday through Thursday. We are open daily from noon, dogs are welcome on the patio, and kids are welcome with the food menu. We think our pizza belongs on this list; we also think you should try the other eleven.
Which pizza for which night
Date night on Las Olas: Louie Bossi's or Luigi's. Impress a New Yorker: Heritage. Something to do with the pizza: Moon Pizza Pie for pinball, or our taproom for trivia on Tuesdays and live music on Fridays. Fast and cheap: Times Square Pizza Parlor or Big Louie's. Dog in tow: Patio Bar & Pizza, Luigi's patio, or our patio. Near the port or airport before a cruise: Anthony's or Blue Steel. Beer nerd: Gulf Stream or Uncommon Path, and our Fort Lauderdale breweries guide covers the taprooms that do not have kitchens.
What is the best pizza in Fort Lauderdale?
It depends on style. Heritage in Flagler Village holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand for its New York-style pies; Louie Bossi's and Luigi's on Las Olas are the Neapolitan and coal-oven picks; Blue Steel does Detroit style; Times Square Pizza Parlor is the slice shop; and Uncommon Path Brewing and Gulf Stream Brewery bake pizza inside a brewery.
Where can I get wood-fired pizza in Fort Lauderdale?
Uncommon Path Brewing (710 NW 5th Ave, Progresso Village), Pizza Craft (330 Himmarshee St, downtown) and Louie Bossi's (1032 E Las Olas Blvd) all cook in wood-burning ovens. Luigi's and Anthony's use coal ovens, which give a similar char.
Is there a brewery with pizza in Fort Lauderdale?
Two. Uncommon Path Brewing in Progresso Village has an on-site wood-fired pizza kitchen next to its brewhouse, and Gulf Stream Brewing on NE 13th St has Pizzeria Magaddino inside its taproom.
Which Fort Lauderdale pizza places are dog friendly?
Patio Bar & Pizza, Luigi's Coal Oven Pizza and Uncommon Path Brewing all have patios where leashed dogs are welcome. Florida law keeps dogs to outdoor seating, so ask for the patio.
