The first decision is not which topping you want but whether you need a slice. Lucali in Sunset Harbour sells whole pies only: its current menu lists a $30 Signature Plain Pie and a $30 White Pie, with toppings generally adding $4-$8. That makes it a proper sit-down pizza choice rather than a quick counter stop. If you are searching from South Beach, three different formats sit farther south: Neapolitan pies at La Leggenda, inventive 13-inch pizzas at Mister O1 and oversized slices at Pizza Bar. Here is what to order, what it costs, when to go and how much moving around Miami Beach the choice involves.
Ask Karpo in the app which Miami Beach pizza option fits your timing, whether you need slices or a whole pie, and how to order the stops without wasting a journey.
Lucali, Sunset Harbour — whole pies, no slices
Lucali is the answer if your search for pizza near me means a sit-down pie rather than something folded into a paper plate. The Miami location is a candlelit, wood-fired pizzeria and Italian restaurant serving thin, New York-style whole pies, along with calzones, salads and sides. The important constraint is explicit: Lucali’s current menu lists whole Signature Plain Pies and White Pies, but no slice option. The room is rustic, with wooden tables and chairs, scuffed floors, a brick oven, marble work counter and stacked firewood. The adjoining Bay Club bar is next door, so the setting is dinner-led rather than grab-and-go.
Lucali is at 1930 Bay Road in Sunset Harbour, Miami Beach. It opens Monday through Thursday from noon to 11:00 PM, Friday and Saturday from noon to midnight, and Sunday from noon to 11:00 PM. A Signature Plain Pie costs $30, as does a White Pie; toppings generally add $4-$8. One useful ordering detail: the current site says Lucali accepts no phone orders. You need to order online or through delivery platforms, so calling ahead for a pie is not an option. Choose it for a shared meal, a thin crust and a room with low light; do not choose it if everyone wants an individual slice.
La Leggenda Pizzeria, South Beach — Neapolitan pies with gluten-free dough
La Leggenda Pizzeria gives you a nearby whole-pie alternative in a distinctly Neapolitan format. Its pizzas are baked to order with soft interiors and blistered cornicione, a different proposition from Lucali’s thin New York-style crust. The Campania-rooted pizzeria sits on Española Way and serves traditional pizzas, Italian dishes, gluten-free dough, wine and beer. Its setting is part of the decision: a colourful street-facing room with a visible wood-fired oven, neon signage and Italian memorabilia. The menu’s gluten-free option comes with a clear limitation, however. The gluten-free pizza is prepared in the same oven as regular pizzas and cannot be guaranteed free of trace flour.
La Leggenda is at 224 Española Way in South Beach and is open every day from 12:30 PM to 11:30 PM. The Margherita Classica is $17, the Napoletana is $18 and the Diavola is $21, with an 18% service charge added to the bill. This is the sensible pick when you want a traditional Neapolitan pie, a street setting and a lower starting price than Lucali’s plain or white pie. It also suits a group with mixed appetites for Italian dishes, wine or beer. If gluten exposure matters, read the oven warning before ordering rather than treating gluten-free dough as a guarantee.
Mister O1 Extraordinary Pizza, South Beach — inventive 13-inch pies
Mister O1 changes the format again. The South Beach branch is a compact, modern pizzeria known for naturally fermented Neapolitan-style pies, inventive toppings and signature star-shaped pizzas filled with ricotta. It stays in the sit-down, whole-pie price bracket while offering a more unusual menu than Lucali or La Leggenda. The location is tucked inside a nondescript commercial building, and older local guidance says there is no obvious exterior sign; staff may guide you through the lobby to the entrance. That matters when you are hungry and searching by map, because the address does not present itself like a large, street-front restaurant.
Mister O1 is at 1680 Michigan Avenue, Suite 101, in South Beach. Its listed hours are Monday through Thursday from 11:30 AM to 9:45 PM, Friday from 11:30 AM to 10:45 PM, Saturday from noon to 10:45 PM and Sunday from noon to 9:45 PM. Available menu pricing lists 13-inch specialty pizzas around $21.99, while small traditional pizzas start at $7.99-$9.99. The current location page says there are no reservations and seating is walk-in only. Go here for a naturally fermented pie, a star-shaped centrepiece or a compact dinner; arrive with the expectation that you will queue rather than book.
Pizza Bar, South Beach — slices and 5:00 AM closing times
Pizza Bar is the practical counterpoint to Lucali because it sells both slices and whole pies. The South Beach shop specialises in oversized slices, full pies, wings and late-night takeout, with a rock-and-roll room built around red walls, black menu boards, red neon signs and a prominent guitar logo. Its menu includes 18-inch pizzas and 30-inch XL pies, so the scale is different from Lucali’s candlelit shared dinner or Mister O1’s 13-inch Neapolitan-style format. If your search began with a genuine need for one slice rather than a table and a complete pie, this is the clearest match in the group.
Pizza Bar is at 1627 Collins Avenue in South Beach. It opens Monday through Wednesday from 11:00 AM to 2:00 AM, Thursday through Saturday from 11:00 AM to 5:00 AM and Sunday from 11:00 AM to 2:00 AM. An artisan Margherita slice is $6, an 18-inch Margherita pie is $28 and a 30-inch XL cheese pie is $52. Thursday through Saturday is the useful late-night window, with the published closing time reaching 5:00 AM. Choose Pizza Bar after the clubs, for a quick slice or when a large group needs a very large pie. It is the least formal option here and the one with the widest late-night range.
How to choose
Start with the format. Lucali is the strongest fit for thin, New York-style whole pies in a candlelit room, but its no-slice rule and $30 starting pies make it a poor answer to a solo slice craving. La Leggenda is the Neapolitan choice, with a $17 Margherita Classica, a wood-fired Española Way setting and an 18% service charge. Mister O1 is for a 13-inch pie with inventive toppings or a ricotta-filled star shape, priced around $21.99 for listed specialties, but seating is walk-in only. Pizza Bar covers the practical cases: a $6 slice, an 18-inch pie, a 30-inch XL and closing as late as 5:00 AM from Thursday to Saturday.
These restaurants are not one compact walking circuit. Lucali is in Sunset Harbour, while La Leggenda, Mister O1 and Pizza Bar are in South Beach, around Española Way, Michigan Avenue and Collins Avenue. Plan on a short rideshare or car hop between Sunset Harbour and the South Beach cluster rather than building a casual route on foot. Paid parking is the practical assumption around the Miami Beach addresses. If you are dining early, pick the style first and then the neighbourhood. If you are finishing late, Pizza Bar has the decisive hours. If you want Lucali, place the online order before setting out and remember that a phone call will not solve the timing.
One correction before you search
Some older listings and articles give Lucali Miami’s address as 930 Bay Road. The restaurant’s current official listing gives the address as 1930 Bay Road, Miami Beach, Florida 33139, in Sunset Harbour. Use the current address when searching or arranging a ride, especially because the other options in this guide are in South Beach and require a separate hop.

Ask Karpo first
Before leaving, ask Karpo in the app to compare Lucali, La Leggenda, Mister O1 and Pizza Bar for the time you have, the slice-or-whole-pie question and the latest published closing time. Use the app to work out whether to start in Sunset Harbour or the South Beach cluster, then check the venue’s ordering or walk-in rule before you set off. For a Lucali pie, order online or through a delivery platform rather than planning to call; for Mister O1, plan for walk-in seating; for Pizza Bar, save the Thursday-to-Saturday late-night window for after-hours pizza.
