Lemoni Pizza & Kitchen

I just called Friday at 9:56 pm and was left on hold for 8 min called back and the young lady who picked up told me they were too preoccupied to take my call.
Those were the words she used. Wow. What a shame! This used to be a great place. That’s what happens when u hire shitty people!

Negative stars actually.
NASTY. Living in an area with little to no delivery options led me to ordering pizza from here. Let me tell you, it was the saddest most sorry excuse for pizza in Miami. Little Cesar’s dough is actually fresher, it was like biting into a week old baguette. Actually none of the ingredients tasted fresh. The cheese was greasy, tasteless and a coagulated soggy lukewarm mess. I actually want to throw up on my phone thinking about it. Neither pizza ordered had tomato sauce even though I paid for extra sauce on one of them.
Comes with a salad but no dressing. Had a slice each and left the rest of the pie on my front curb for the crackheads to enjoy.

Horrible customer service on multiple occasions. No manger to speak to either. Ghetto place don’t go.

Called restaurant to see where my delivery was after waiting 90+ min. The guy tells me it was delivered and to check my door. It was hanging on my door handle for over 30min without anyone telling me. The delivery guy (idiot) said he knocked but no answered. I didn’t hear shit and you could have called me! Thanks for the cold food prick!

I love pizza so much we ordered the Levantini and it was so good have prosciutto on it and arugula and Parmesan cheese and I would go back in 2 seconds I live right by this place and I’m going to get such a thing now

This is the second time my lady and I have dined here. Food is excellent. So many veg and vegan options. Plus lots of gluten free options as well. You can’t go wrong. Place is a little small but the food is outstanding, fresh and prepared with care. We now love this place.

Had dinner here with a group of vegan friends on Friday night. Although we actually dined at Lemoni Café (next door) we ordered from Lemoni Pizza & Kitchen menu. Therefore, this review its based solely in our gastronomic Pizza experience.
First, the good news…
There were very accommodative when we stated we wanted to order from the Lemoni Pizza menu, since the pizza place was too small to accommodate 8 people in one table. Good. Besides, the guy at the pizza place (the bold one) was very rude, reminded us every five minutes we didn’t have a reservation. No wonder nobody likes him…
Okay… They had no problem with separate checks, which make our evening way easier at the end of the night. Alleluia!!!
Now, its great they had a menu filled with vegan options. For that, we were greatly thankful. However, if you want to appeal to the ever growing vegan community I must give you some necessary pointers.
The vegan pizzas. Have you realized that solely using cashew «sauce» in the pizzas made them extremely dry? Since when tomato sauce is not vegan? For some reason that I can not comprehend, they banned the tomato sauce, giving the whole pizza experience a touch of alien punishment.
I had the «meatless» meatball pizza. Big disappointment!!! Nothing more far from I was expecting. The «meatballs» made with lentils were extremely dry, plus the cashew sauce make the whole thing even drier. Water, anyone? It makes no sense to me, that you allure your diners with such scrumptious descriptions and the final result bombed at the first bite.
Have the option to add the tomato sauce to the pizzas. Or mix both, whatever to make them better. You can thank me later. Flash news: We vegans are not from another planet… Not yet.
I had a slice of another pizza, the greek/​tofu one. Way better than the one I ordered. At least it was not dry.
The desserts… Hmmm… I had a «Nom Nom» vegan cookie. Probably no one order those, because mine was not fresh. My fellow dinners had the strawberry/​cranberry raw pie. It was good, although very expensive $ 8. Anyhow…

The food is delicious however they have this ONE employee that works at the pizzeria and also at the café (Bold Guy with an accent) that always has an attitud. It is a shame that such a nice place, food an ambiance is ruin by this person. I LOVE both places and I am a regular delivery, pick up and in dining customer but when I am served by this guy is always the same. he is always rude. I hope the owners know this because this can ruin their reputation

The food here is soooo good! I’m allergic to gluten and the gluten-​free pizza is really good. The gluten free ravioli is another level of amazing. Best dish I’ve ever had. I still talk about it like I had it for dinner yesterday. Quaint, small place in the design district with a cool vibe and good food/​wine.

Good food, good options, good environment, whats not to like. I have tried the chicken parm, pizza and meatball parm sub, all very fulfilling. They have a couple local beers on tap, and reasonable wine prices. Slowly becoming my go to italian restaurant of choice.

Love love love. It is so quaint. Very romantic. Perfect date spot. Family spot. Or a get together with friends. They have all different types of pizza. Ask for some bread. You will get addicted to it. They don’t bring bread unless you ask. From the décor to the size of the place you feel like you are in a Rome eatery/​Parisian café. Now he service… make sure to have the gentleman server there. The girls aren’t too great. They aren’t horrible. But one was forgetful one time and the other just wasn’t too nice and stood and watched the food network while we were trying to call her over for water. Just little things like that. If you are paying to eat out you should get what you pay for. Other than the service from the girls this place is a must in midtown/​Buena vista.

I arrived at 10 pm on a Friday night. The restaurant’s website said the restaurant closed at 11pm. We were turned away by one of the employees who said, «the manager told me to close early tonight because we were slow.» Uh, what? First of all, there were several customers on both sides of the restaurant. Second– if business is slow, wouldn’t taking two paying customers a good way to increase your business? I specifically looked at the hours on the website BEFORE leaving the house, because I didn’t want to waste time driving up for no reason, which is what ended up happening. I wasn’t a fan of the attitude and tone of voice the employee used with us either. I come to Lemoni Café not just for the delicious vegan fare, but for the chill Wynwood vibe. Tonight all I got was South Beach style snobbery.

This place is hands down the closest you’ll get to a slice of New York style Pizza in this neck of the woods… absolutely DELICIOUS!

Went for lunch with my coworkers although we normally go to the café (Lemoni) next door that day it was packed so we sat on the pizza side 2 of us ordered a pizza to share and the others ordered from the café. Well the others that ordered from the café got their food and had finished eating and our pizza still hadn’t come. One of my coworkers went and inquired to the owner about our pizza and she apologized and told us that she was on it. After about another 15 minutes our pizza came and it was delicious. The owner apologized once again and took the pizza off our bill. I really like the owner very professional and personal with customers.

This place is the sister restaurant to Lemoni Café right next store. We go to the Café allot. The food is great and we thought to try the pizza joint. We ordered the meatballs to start. You get four and they are large. They were very moist with a good taste. The gravy was very tasty. We order the Margarita pizza. When it came out, it looked like a regular pizza. We said something to the waitress we know and she was surprised. Coming from the NE and Philly area, we know pizza and Italian food. So we explained what a real Margarita pizza should be. However, the pizza was excellent form the curst to the sauce and cheese. It is a great choice but they need to just call it what it is — a regular pizza.
I would highly recommend coming to this place and grabbing some food.

My favorite pizza in Miami. Hands down.

Definitely my favorite pizza place in Miami, where good pizza is hard to find.

After ordering twice and having similar experiences I have to give LPDL two stars. The first time I ordered apparently there was the first earthquake in Florida. Either that, or the delivery person packed the pizza vertically in his backpack whilst dodging traffic on his scooter. I couldn’t even describe the pizza as a «hot mess» as it arrived cold. Most of the toppings and cheese were on ¼ of the pizza. Also it was greasy and salty. It was an aberration or so I thought. I ordered again a month ago. Although all the toppings were in tact, this lukewarm pie was again (you guessed it) greasy and salty. It’s a interesting combination, but not a tasty one.
~Sigh~
If only Andiamo delivered to my house.

I’ve had pizza from Lemoni twice now, and I’ve yet to set foot in the restaurant. That’s right. Two check ins: both from home.
Oh, I’m a rebel.
That’s right.
Rebellious.
I’m talking Marlon Brando in «The Wild One.» Marlon Brando and his iconic response to Mildred asking, «Hey Johnny, what are you rebelling against?» Marlon Brando so freaking cool in saying, «Whadda you got?»
You’ve probably never even heard of «The Wild One.» I’ll tell you this much: before «Sons of Anarchy,» before «Easy Rider,» before any and every other movie surrounding anarchical characters going left when society tells them to go right, there was «The Wild One.»
Check it out.
…
Oh. Right. Pizza.
There was a point to my Brando diatribe, and that point is as follows: my meager rebellion (which is more a manipulation of a Unilocal loophole than anything else) pales in comparison to what I feel Lemoni is doing. You see, there’s been a movement of late that equates amazing pizza with a coal oven.
Don’t get me wrong. I love coal-​fired pizza. But that doesn’t mean that the conventional oven should be bound in electrical tape and left on the side of the road. (Brownie points if you get that reference.)
Lemoni is achieving pizza greatness with the kind of ovens that you and I were raised on. I can spend a lot of time going on and on about the freshness of the ingredients, and they are fresh. I mean, I’ve had pizzas topped with prosciutto and spinach and brie and basil and ricotta and mushrooms and garlic slices, (notice how I said SLICES) and it’s all been fantastic. I’m talking about running-​through-​the-​Garden-​of-​Eden-​naked fantastic. I’m talking about God-not-thinking-to-look-up-and-smite-me-because-he’s-too-busy-devouring-a-Lemoni-pizza fantastic.
So yes. The ingredients are fresh.
But what I want to focus on is the crust… And I’m talking about CRUST. Golden brown and crispy and almost buttery in texture. The kind of crust that gives way to your teeth but makes you fight just a little bit to tear away that piece you so desperately want.
And we all know that things are better when you’re made to fight for them, when you have to suffer for them at least a little bit.
Friends, I’m telling you. If you walk away from my review having learned two things, they should be as follows: thing the first, «The Wild One» paved the way for the 1%er biker movement; and thing the second, coal-​fired pizza is NOT the end-​all, be-​all.
So do yourselves a favor. Rebel for an evening. Stream «The Wild One,» (remember when we used to say «rent?»), and order in from Lemoni instead of making your way to some coal-​fired pizzeria for some all-​too-​often burnt crust.
You will not be disappointed.

Now, this is the pizza place I have been looking in Miami for lo these many years! Last night, on a whim, Ritch and I ventured up to La Pizzeria di Lemoni for what was a superb meal on a near shoe string. Here are a few highlights:
— The shrimp scampi app was ridiculously good. I’m talking sauce-​sopping good!
— The salad gave us enough perfectly-​dressed arugula to choke a horse!
— The pizza… well, all I can say is that we have some in the fridge left over that is calling my name. «Kenny…eat me!»
The place itself has a European, neighborhood charm. Add to that a $ 15 bottle of chianti and you’ve got yourself a perfect date night… assuming you’ve brought a perfect date with you. (They do not currently have dates on the menu. Figs, yes. Dates, no. So, bring your own to avoid disappointment.)
