Ferrari’s New York Style Pizza

Very good if you are looking for some good old fashioned New York style pizzeria food.
Not really a great place to go a long distance for. But if you are in the area and are craving some great New York style pizza, it’s probably your best bet.
You know what they say, «Pizza is like sex. When it’s good, it’s good. And when it’s not, it’s still pretty good!»

The Quality says it all, the quality of the food, service, and value is truly superb! My ultimate favorite pizza is the white pizza. It’s just perfect! We love this place so much we are willing to take the long drive over there. This is a classic (and classy) family-​run restaurant. The restaurants atmosphere is sophisticated but at the same time, almost homey, making Ferrari’s Pizzeria a very pleasant dining experience.

My first time eating at this establishment. Service was okay not the greatest. We order the chicken parmigiana the spaghetti was cold and watery but the chicken parmigiana was hot. I really did not understand that part. The cheese pizza was okay. The best part of the meal was the Cesar salad and the garlic bread. Maybe I will give this place another try and order something different.

I am starting to believe all the reviews about the lack of service this business is offering. I placed an order for a family special (LG Pizza, rolls and drink). I accepted that the order was one hour late, but when the pizza arrived it was cold. I had no problem in waiting for a fresh pizza.
The correct response from the business should have been, We apologize, we will remake your order.
Well, to my surprise the response was, «send the pizza back, we are too busy to make you a fresh one»
That’s not the only case, the delivery person was actually a baker who had to deliver the pizza because they do not have enough employees who can do deliveries!
NEVER WILL I SPEND A CENT ON THIS BUSINESS FOR LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM AND NOT CARING TO LOSE CUSTOMERS
HORRIBLE SERVICE! !!!
UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE TO SELECT ONE STAR!

We love going to Ferrari’s for two reasons. The food is delicious, especially the pizza and the owner, Ruben, is so friendly!
His calzone and Stromboli are to die for. Super large, so plan on sharing! All of his sauces are delicious and his salads are always fresh.
I love his shrimp and clam dishes too. Very tasty, not fishy!
The garlic rolls are loaded with olive oil and Parmesan cheese, like a roll should be!
Go try out his menu, you won’t be disappointed!

This is probably one of the best pizzas j have ever eaten. Absolutely delicious, and very fast service. I’ve ordered it and had it delivered at home for parties and my friends have all asked where it’s from! My go-​to pizza place!

I have no idea what happened! Our last experience was good, decent pizza and decent Ziti.
From the moment we walked in, something was off. Could it have been the new servers that speak ZERO English or could it be the desperate fat guys behind the counter gawking and feasting on female patrons. The noise and chatter coming from the open kitchen was unprofessional and inappropriate. ALL of the servers seemed to be very disoriented and confused and the restaurant was pretty empty.
Surprisingly the food was just as bad as the atmosphere and the «horny fat guy». I mistakenly ordered the «Tortellini Pesto» which arrived looking more like a soup! Drowning in a sauce resembling everything BUT pesto. I took one bite and pushed it to the side. Luckily she ordered a small pizza which wasn’t bad at all.
The waitress noticed I hadn’t touched the food and asked if I didn’t like it, which was pretty obvious. She mentioned it to the so called «cook» and the response was «if I had notified them sooner they would have made it better». Needless to say I wasted 30+ dollars on a small pizza and a poor excuse for a pasta dish that I didn’t even touch.
I won’t return.

I absolutely love this place. The white pizza is my favorite. It’s delicious and addicting. I also love their zeppolis. I have never eaten on location but I like that I can conveniently order from the Unilocal/​eat 24 app for pick up.

My first time here today and I loved it! Typical mom and pops place. Will definitely come back. The service from our waitress was by far the best! Super attentive and quick. Highly recommend it. We had ½ meat lovers and ½ white it was delicious…

Great place for delicious Italian comfort food delivered to you at a great price! The pizza and garlic rolls aren’t too greasy and the servings are very generous!

This is our go to place for pizza! The sauce is great, just the right amount of cheese and, of course, the New York size slices. At around $ 20 for an XL, garlic rolls and a 2 L soda, it’s a great value too!
Pizza, however, is not Ferrarri’s only claim to fame. Their pasta dishes are fantastic, too! My husband has told me not to «let» him order the Chicken Alfredo anymore because it’s so good that he can’t stop eating it and the portions are such even his hearty appetite is uncomfortably stuffed after eating it all. For me, the Chicken Marsala and Chicken Francese are fabulous! They last me two meals! The kids are simpler, loving the spaghetti with garlic and oil or the baked ziti.
We get delivery or take out, so I truly can’t speak about wait staff performance but everyone we’ve encountered as been kind, courteous and personable.
Love this place!

Been coming to this place since it opened, was a long time customer of Mama Mia just down the road 16+ yrs, always good food. Both places are related and both are very good. Just happens that Ferrari is closer to us now and we frequent it more. Always had great service dinning in, some issues with delivery, time only never the food. Found out its because of unreliable employee drivers, not the food or restaurant per say.
Try their eggplant parmigiana, or lasagna both are good. They make their pizza dough fresh every day and thats why their pizzas taste so good.

Disappointed. This use to be my favorite pizza spot close to home but yesterday the pizza was a complete disappointment. The dinner rolls were flat. The pizza was pale and over loaded in sauce. Seems like they had someone new making the dough and pizzas there .
It’s best to just make the trip to Steve’s Pizza it sure is the best pizza in Cutler Bay. They may not have the family special like this place serves but they will never disappoint you in quality. Just look at the overload of sauce and the lack of cheese. In addition, the ingredients tasted as if they down graded not tasty and absolutely translucent. Felt as if I got a little Cesar’s quality pizza.

Been here once when I used to live in that area. They too have the family specials that both Mama Mia’s and Marinos pizzeria have. If I am not mistaken these three are all related. Having been at this particular restaurant I can say that their Pasta Fagioli soup is really good, very tasty and creamy. It differs from the other restaurants in the area including their relative restaurants.
Their pizza is good too. You can’t beat their family special, it feeds a family of four and more. You get a large pie, dozen garlic rolls and a 2 liter soda bottle.
If I was still in the area this place would still be my go to pizza place.

Horrible horrible horrible place! This pizza place is horrible. I called for delivery and they said it takes 45 mins and it took more than an 1 hr. I live 5 mins away and it took forever. I ordered on a Wednesday. Nothing crazy for it to take so long. When I got my pizza it was freezing COLD! I told he driver, he didn’t care. I called the store and spoke to the owner and he told me he couldn’t do nothing for me and my starving children. I find it ridiculous they couldn’t even give me a discount or offer for a free pizza for next time. He only said to leave the cold pizza outside and they will bring a New one. What a joke. To wait even longer. I am NEVER ordering from this place ever again.

I’ve been a loyal customer ever since Ferrari’s opened their doors in 2007. What got me hooked was their cheesy New York style pizza with fresh ingredients. And Ferrari’s did this every single time. I even stopped ordering all together from Mamma Mia’s just down the street. I’ve only dined in once so I really can’t write about the dine-​in experience.
*** Items that kept me coming back ***
Pizza — Pepperoni, Sausage and Mushrooms. Thin with a nice thick crust. The only way I’ve had my pizza at Ferrari’s up until recently! FIVE STARS! Enough said!
Pizza — Sausage, Mushrooms, Black Olives and fresh Tomato slices is another way I unwillingly had it this week. It was good just not my favorite. Perhaps basil would have been a nice touch.
Calzone — This half moon shaped, oven baked inverted pizza is filled with ricotta & mozzarella cheese and ham, served with a side of their killer homemade tomato sauce.
Stromboli — Yet another inverted pizza! This cylindrical Italian turnover is stuffed with sausage, pepperoni, mushroom and mozzarella cheese then oven baked. It is served with a side of that yummy tomato sauce. Can also be filled with other toppings of your choice for an upcharge.
*** Entrees ***
Served with a side of Garlic Rolls and your choice of Chicken Soup or a Side Garden Salad (no onions please!). (Get the salad, the «soup» is ridiculously salty and barely any chicken or vegetables visible. You will be disappointed. La Carreta does it better!).
Chicken Piccata — Chicken sautéed with lemon, butter, capers and wine. Served with Spaghetti. Delizioso!
Fettuccini Alfredo — Served with their homemade Alfredo sauce. So rich and creamy. It’s heavenly all by itself. Don’t ruin this by adding chicken!
Baked Ziti — Ziti is topped with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese.
Stuffed Shells — Shells are stuffed with ricotta cheese, topped with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese.
Manicotti — Filled with ricotta & parmesan cheese, tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese.
Lasagna — This has got to be one of the best lasagnas around town. This beauty of a mess is layered with their flavorful and aromatic homemade meat & tomato sauce, ricotta & mozzarella cheese. Mmmmmmmm so good!
If you can’t decide which to get from the last three items listed, get the Pasta Combo. It includes all three: Stuffed Shells, Manicotti and Lasagna.
*** Desserts ***
Cannoli — This tube shaped pastry filled with sweet ricotta cheese is very good.
Tiramisu — Not many places can get this coffee-​flavored Italian dessert right but Ferrari’s has good tiramisu (not sure they actually make it in house… TBD). It’s light & creamy and topped with cocoa powder. Highly enjoyable but still not amazing (The most amazing Tiramisu I’ve had…
Review soon to follow).
*** The one item I do not care for ***
Zeppoles — are just garlic rolls without the garlic, olive oil and parmesan cheese. Tasteless and boring. More dough? No thanks! Get it with the ricotta & chocolate sauce. I hear it’s good.
*** The reason why they don’t get the full FIVE stars ***
I am a supporter of mom and pop restaurants but please do not undermine my loyalty and further insult my intelligence. They seem to have a problem with consistency and appreciation for their loyal patrons. Not so much with the pizza but with the entrees and other items in general. Seems like the more time goes by, the more they skimp out on ingredients. I understand that less makes for better profit margins but in return skimping out makes for unhappy customers. I feel cheated.
3 Examples…
MEATBALL SUB, it used to come with 4 meatballs. Now it comes with 2 meatballs cut in half and for the same price of $ 8.95. WTF Ferrari’s? Seriously? Cut in half meatballs? Unheard of. Your prices are steep enough already and to take away 2 meatballs from this sub, is utterly shameful! Here’s an idea… make your meatballs smaller!
PASTA COMBO (Stuffed Shells, Manicotti and Lasagna) up until recently it used to come generously portioned for only $ 12.95…now you get about half the portions for the same exact price. SMH.
And finally (up until last night 2÷6÷15, they had 4 stars)
GNOCCHI PARMIGIANA — «Homemade potato gnocchi topped with tomato sauce & mozzarella cheese» is what their menu reads under the «Baked Pasta» section. This came without the best ingredient, the gooey melted goodness called mozzarella cheese. And when called about it, the woman gave a lame excuse, «If you don’t ask for it baked, it won’t come with mozzarella cheese». Is this a joke? Am I being punked? This is clearly under your «Baked Pasta» section lady, why must I remind you to add mozzarella to this dish? She did attempt to correct it but by us bringing in the dish. Thanks but no thanks. Delivery service would have been a courteous way to correct this blunder.
DOUBLE CHECK your orders! I will be taking a break from Ferrari’s. I need it anyway! :P

The place is close to my house. The food is delicious. The service is ok. But again, the food keeps me coming back for more. The place could use some updating.
The chef there has delivered some real flavors let me tell you. I have been visiting for the last 4 years and they haven’t failed.

Great New York style pizza! We got the family deal which came with an XL Pizza, a dozen garlic rolls, and a pitcher of soda for $ 19.95. The pizza includes one topping but you could add extra for $ 1.95 each.
Let me tell you, THEY MEAN EXTRA LARGE. One slice of this pizza was bigger than my head (and I have a big head). It was delicious, fresh, not too saucy and very thin. The garlic rolls were dripping with butter but they still retained some crunch. Our server, Magdalena, was sooooo sweet and attentive.
I would definitely stop by here if I was in the area again!

The food is typical Italian. It’s yummy, but not in any particularly memorable way.
The prices are absurd. I was once charged $ 4 for a slice of pizza. Not sure if there are gold shavings in their tomato sauce but that’s crazy.
Someone should not have to pay $ 50 dollars to feed their family pizza… that can be done on a much cheaper budget.

Ferrari’s is our go to place. — «Hey babe, i am hungry» «lets call ferraris!» -«C, i am craving pizza AND french fries» «lets call ferraris!»
In all out visits, we were only disappointed once with thier garlic rolls and that was a definite fluke. The pizza is rich and the crust is crispy, crunchy, and gooey. Sounds weird but tastes delicious. It is not the worlds best pizza but it’s unique taste means it cant easily be compared to other pizza places. For some reason, they also have amazing fries. I dont know what it is about them, but they taste extra yummy. And anyone who hasn’t bunged on fries and pizza is missing out. the zeppolis are little puffs of magic and the perfect ending to a meal.
The sizes are great for the price and they have family specials that rival big-​chain specials.
