Casola's Pizzeria & Sub Shop

Literally Addicting

by sbrladybug831 at Citysearch

This is my first review...ever. I'm not a review writer as a general rule. I usually save my opinion for people who ask for it. Unless of course it's a call of duty...such as today.

It is my duty to tell you that Casola's is awesome. I've had pizza all over the world...in Naples, even, where pizza was invented. Casola's is by far my favorite. I live in California and only come to Miami to visit in-laws. Casola's is my only upside. It's a dump...that's true but I don't go there for ambience. I go there for pizza: It's thin and perfectly crispy and the sauce is both salty AND sweet. It's genius. Don't be a heretic and get toppings...cheese is the ONLY way to go...if you want toppings, get the Calzone. I hear those are great too.

This pizza is so good, in fact, that I actually had them freeze two large pies and ship them from Miami to California. (true story) because I am so addicted and because they are so delicious!

If you are a real pizza lover...you owe it to yourself to at least give Casola's a try. Despite the fact that the first slice is not free...trust me, there's a good chance you'll get addicted!

WOW You've had pizza all over the world?? You must also have no taste buds. Casola's is the worst pizza I've ever had. Miami Beach has a pizza ristorante on every corner that tops this dump. To top it off, Casola's subs are even worse!

Rude management

by CSMobileUser at Citysearch

Not really sure why this place has been around for so long. People that work there rude and the pizza is WAY to greasy. Only reason people go there is because its open late and if you go there late its full of drunk "thugs" on their way home after a night in the grove. Stay away from this place. I also tried ordering from them and they took over an hour, brought the wrong pizza, then after another hour they brought the correct pizza then they tried to charge me for both.

rude management poor quality

by kg305 at Citysearch

ive been coming to this place since i was a kid and since the old man (owner) died the quality of the food has gone down hill. the novelty of the place used to be that you would order a topping on your pizza slice and you would get a MOUNTAIN of whatever you ordered. but i guess the dickhead manager decided to cut back on that to make a buck. its not the place it used to be...

BURNT PIZZA!!!!

by cloudy911 at Citysearch

This place is not what it was 3 years ago, when the original owner , that passed away was there. The quality and quantity has gone , the manager , is rude and has no clue what he is talking about. This was my favorite place for many years, since I was a kid. I grew up right around the shop, would go there all the time. But since the owner passed away it has just gone down the drain. I ordered pizza and subs with a group of friends , the pizza was burnt , when I asked for a new one they gave me a face as if I were crazy. When I got my new pizza it was just as bad so I just threw it away. The subs were cold and tasteless. 5 years ago I would have recommended this place , but don't even bother going, it's not worth the drive.

• Pros: none
• Cons: bad food

Suc#*! Will never be the same!!!!

by nealb31 at Citysearch

I just went to Casola's...I've been going there since it opened...almost 30 years ago...one of their first customers...although the quality has been slipping for many years now i have always beena a loyal customer...I have known both owners...the late Ramon and Agustine...since Casola's openened in Miami...both were very loyal and good to me....knowing that I was always a loyal customer and always refered MANY customers to them...but just tonight...I went to Casola's and ordered 2 slices of pizza...I asked for a cup of water...I was given a cup and my pizza...I looked for water everwhere (it use to be with the sodas) and couldn't find it...so I poured some soda...maybe 2 ozs. into my miniature cup...only to have a security guard...some punk making minimum wage...tell me I asked for water...not soda...this is INSANE! I told the punk that I knew the owner and that I had been going there since it opened...only to have some big headed midget tell me HE was now the owner...and i basically needed to leave...it was ALL I could do to restrain myself from beating both the security and "owner's" as# all over the place...so I ask that you PLEASE boycott Casolas...they needs to be taught a lesson...plus the food is slipping...BIG TIME!!!

• Pros: None
• Cons: is supposedly owned by some little big headed punk!!

Tasteless Pizza!

by ZZ123 at Citysearch

Yuck! Pizza may have been big, but it's big and bland. I've had better. Even Dominoe's or Pizza Huts is better than theirs. They need to add some real seasoning to their sauce. What a mistake!

You usually can't go wrong with pizza and subs, but Casola's fails miserably

by damethod at Citysearch

I have no idea why so many people have told me how good this place is. It's a total dump. The pizza slices are large and cheap, but you get what you pay for. If you want quality pizza for just $1.50 more per slice, go down the street to Coconut grove and try Cazzolli's. They are THE original pizza joint serving huge delicious slices of pizza. Given you'll pay for $4-$5 per slice, but again, you get what you pay for!

I also had a sub sandwich that was AWEFUL. Limited number of toppings are piled on in a sloppy fashion. Deli meats are also of poor quality. Your better off going to the Quizno's across the street.

• Pros: Cheap
• Cons: Taste, Subs are TERRIBLE

For those who prefer Quantity over Quality

by ericaverg at Citysearch

If you are not a picky eater and love cheap food, this place is for you! A slice is enormous and costs around 3 dollars. This place is for the average Joe and those below. For those who prefer quality food no matter what the condition, DONT GO TO CASOLA'S!! I don't like Casola's pizza, because the sauce is average, the dough is rubbery and the cheese tastes old. Not great.

• Pros: Large slices, lots of seating
• Cons: Rubbery pizza

BEST TIRAMESU IN THE WORLD

by dknanini at Citysearch

I did not see any mention to the Casolas Tiramesu in the reviews here. They make THE BEST one all over the world. I've ate at several fantastic italian restaurantsall over the US and in high end cruises but I am still to find one that would beat their Tiramesu.
