Authentic Neapolitan pizza, gluten-free options, and fresh Italian bites
"La Leggenda is in a part of South Beach where your food options are severely limited, but this place is not like the touristy spots you’ll find across the street on Española Way. It’s actually good—especially their Neapolitan pizzas. The dough is tender, the cheese-to-sauce ratio is on point, and we never expected to have such a pleasant meal so close to Ocean Drive. They go a little too wild with some toppings, so stick to your basic margherita." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"La Leggenda is a pizzeria in a part of South Beach where your food options are severely limited. Luckily this place is not like the touristy spots you’ll find across the street on Española Way. It’s actually good, especially their Neapolitan pizzas. They don’t overcomplicate things here: the dough is tender, the cheese-to-sauce ratio is on point, and you’d never expect to have such a pleasant meal so close to a Señor Frog’s." - alyson penn, ryan pfeffer
"Here’s another solid South Beach walk-in option. We can’t guarantee you won’t have to wait for a table at La Leggenda, but we’ve always been seated immediately at this secluded (and very good) pizzeria just across from the always-slammed Española Way. Pizza is what you should be eating here. They have indoor and outdoor seating, wine, and serve a really great Neapolitan pie. And even though it’s only a baseball toss away from some very touristy restaurants, this place is pretty peaceful and quiet enough to have a conversation." - ryan pfeffer

"La Leggenda is a pizzeria and even though it’s in a touristy area, it still feels secluded and quiet enough to have a conversation. It’s also only about a half-mile from the Convention Center. It’s a good place to relax over a glass of wine and one of their great Neapolitan pies—which is some of the best pizza in Miami." - Kelli Cross, Ryan Pfeffer
