Papa Ricco's Restaurant & Pizzeria

NY transplants rejoice, there really is at least one edible pizza in Miami Dade. Just tried this place for the first time tonight and will absolutely be back. I'd be there once a week if they had slices.

In the book, "One More Move,” Papa Ricco's is featured. I hadn’t stopped by in years, but made the drive over after finishing the novel. When I stopped in, I noticed the "Cade Taylor" pizza. A special in honor of the book's main character! Mushroom, green pepper & sausage. Absolutely INCREDIBLE. Papa Ricco’s never disappoints! I've been dining here for ages, hands down one of the best pizza places in Miami.

Everything we got was overpriced and pretty burnt, not crispy. 3 pies were ordered and all of them were way overdone. The pasta was pretty good, but it was too cheesy as if that was supposed to be the only flavor. Garlic rolls were solid but not great. Maybe it was a bad or busy night, but my expectations were not met. We spent over $100 for subpar food at best. No item was great or even really close to that. Although, the service was great and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
