"Miami Slice is not a slice shop so much as a slice bar. The space, which opened last year, is designed to look and feel like a cocktail bar with its marbled countertop, comfortable barstools, and front-row view of pizza makers working deck ovens and topping slices. One of Miami Slice’s owners, Alejandro Díaz, goes so far as to refer to the employees behind the bar as pizzatenders (get it?). 'The concept of the slice bar allows you to have a slice right out of the oven and have a one-on-one experience with the person that’s serving you pizza while they’re decorating the slices,' he says. Those slices include one topped with vodka sauce and drizzled with pesto (La Salsera) and another with garlic confit cream, leeks, and bacon (Leeks on Bacon). Miami Slice calls its pizza 'artisan NY-style.' Díaz, who previously owned pizza restaurants in his home country of Venezuela and also spent time in New York, says the crust is 'airy and almost flaky-crunchy.' One customer described the crust to Díaz as a love child between a pizza and a croissant. The pro move is to order your pizza—ideally, a pepperoni slice—with 'all kicks' and receive a shower of extra toppings: stracciatella, olive oil, hot honey, basil, salt, and pepper." - ByEmily Wilson
