Home of the biggest slice on Miami Beach opens new restaurant with frozen Negronis

Guess who’s coming to West Avenue?

Pizza Bar, which opened its first location next to the Loews Miami Beach and Ritz Carlton South Beach in 2009, has opened a new location, right next to Bodega Taqueria y Tequila.

The menu at the new spot, taking over the former Ricky’s “beercade” and which boasts a rustic but modern vibe, isn’t exactly the same as the menu at the Collins Avenue restaurant, which says it sells the biggest slice on South Beach.

At the new restaurant, it’s not so much about the slices. You can order the 30-inch pizzas with your favorite toppings or try a special pizza like the Proscuitto, with garlic sauce, mozzarella, truffle oil, Proscuitto, arugula, grated Parmesan and basil.

But you won’t get bored, because there are new items, too, including a Sicilian pie that’s only for sale on Fridays. The restaurant will also serve cauliflower-crusted pizzas, new appetizers and salads and specialty drinks like frozen Negronis.

You can sit at a high top table or a booth, while a roll-up garage door makes the restaurant into an outdoor spot year round. Don’t want to eat in? No problem. Pizza Bar also delivers until midnight. The restaurant plans to add late-night hours eventually.
