"West Kendall is known for the Kendall Ice Arena, excellent Latin American food, and now (thanks to Vice City) some of the county’s best pizza. During peak hours, there’s usually a line out the door because these Detroit-style pies are magnificent. The crust tastes like a delicious memory foam pillow—light, thick, buttery, and springy. All of Vice City's pizzas have salty cheese that coats said crust and bubbles over, creating a little lip around the square pies that holds a variety of creative toppings like fig and brie (please get that if it's on the menu)." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"A Detroit-style pizza pop-up at Bar Bella where chef Carlos Estarita uses dough fermented for two days to achieve a thick yet light and airy crust, topping pies with Mutti and Alta Cucina tomatoes and a blend of cheeses." - Laine Doss
"This cozy pizza joint serves up Detroit-style pies with Miami vibes. Pizza options include the pepperoni and hot honey, the veggie supreme, the brie and fig, and vegan options featuring the BE Hive cheeses and meats. Customers can also opt for pastas and small plates such as prosciutto croquettes or fried provolone. On the weekends from noon to 4 p.m., hot sandwiches such as the mortazza and the fan-favorite chicken parm. Draft and frozen cocktails, wines, and beers are available to complement the meal." - Stacy Moya
"Vice City Pizza started as a pandemic pop-up and has now planted roots in a cozy 1,200-square-foot spot way out in West Kendall. Specializing in Detroit-style pies, the fluffy, sauce-drenched interior of these pizzas is fenced in by a cracker-like crust. Despite looking hefty, each bite is surprisingly light — think ballerina’s leap, not square brick. Upgrade the usual hot honey pepperoni and go for the Ron Swanson, which is also loaded with thick slabs of bacon, banana pepper, and fennel sausage. Feeling adventurous? Try the fig and brie pizza, which is what happens when a pizza party meets a grown-up soiree." - Ashley Brozic
"Chicken Parm Sando Yes, you should be having Detroit-style pizza at Vice City, but there's another great reason to visit this pizza place in West Kendall: the chicken parm sando. Every hoagie here is, in fact, wonderful. But this is our favorite, and it's only available for lunch. This eight inch sub is filled with melted stracciatella and parmesan that clings to the crispy breaded chicken like Spiderman’s webbing. The bread’s exterior cracks like glass, but the pesto and vodka sauce is what brings it all together." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
