Master Critic Review
DC Pie Co.
8.4
Dominic Cavagnuolo—the owner behind Lucali, regularly cited as one of the country's top pizzerias—launched this more casual Brickell sibling in 2019, and the thin Brooklyn-style pies with buffalo mozzarella, fresh mozz, and aged parm deliver accordingly. The crust runs crispier than its Miami Beach sister location, which works for the quick-lunch crowd, and the kale Caesar holds its own against the carbs. It's a compact space with tableside tech ordering that keeps service efficient, though the stripped-down vibe won't win any atmosphere awards. Skip the meatballs if you're watching the bill and stick to the signature pie—it's why the Lucali pedigree matters here.
