After a short-lived run at the now-closed Oasis Wynwood, one of New York’s most famous square-sliced pizza joints is opening its highly anticipated Miami location — for real this time. After months of anticipation (over a year to be exact), New York’s Prince St. Pizza is making its presence in Miami a bit more permanent with the opening of its first brick-and-mortar location. Set to open on Thursday, December 11 at 521 Lincoln Rd. in Miami Beach, the outpost will sling the New York-style slices and Sicilian pizzas it’s known for on Lincoln Road.
“We are thrilled to open the doors of our first Miami brick-and-mortar location this December and to bring back our delicious slices to the South Florida community,” says Lawrence Longo, CEO of Prince St. Pizza, in a statement. “Every bite and every interaction at our Lincoln Road location, similar to our other locations, will deliver pure happiness to our guests, and we look forward to being a part of such a bustling culinary scene.”
For the grand opening on Thursday, December 11 at noon, Prince St. Pizza (also known as Prince Street Pizza) will be handing out $25 gift card to the first 25 guests. And guests who join Prince St. Pizza’s loyalty program will be entered to win a year’s worth of free pizza. Praise Cheesus.
The “Spicy Vodka” is exactly what it sounds like…and it’s incredible

The Square Slices Stole a Pizza Miami’s Heart
The news of the location was announced last year, with a project opening of “fall 2024.” It seems like it took a bit longer than anticipated for Prince St. Pizza’s Miami Beach spot to open.
When Prince St. Pizza opens next month, Miamians will be able to devour slices like the famous “Spicy Spring,” topped with fra diavolo sauce, pepperoni, fresh mozzarella, and pecorino romano; the “Naughty Pie,” a collaboration with food influencer the Naughty Fork, which consists of spicy vodka sauce, pepperoni, fresh mozzarella, ricotta, and Zab’s Hot Honey; and the “Vegan,” with sweet marinara, vegan cheese, fresh basil, and extra virgin olive oil.
House-made sauces will also be available for purchase on-site, including the “Fra Diavolo Spicy Marinara,” “Spicy Vodka,” and “House Marinara.”The location will also be adorned with a Miami-themed mural of pizzas and palm trees painted by local artist Bari-Lynn Friedlander, as well as exclusive branded Prince St. Pizza Miami-themed Sigal merch created by local designer Sigal Cohen Wolkowiez.

What’s So Gouda About Prince St.?
Founded in 2012, the original Prince St. Pizza opened in Manhattan’s Nolita neighborhood, which is where the name “Prince Street” comes from. It quickly gained an almost cult-like following thanks in large part to its pepperoni slice.
Still, it hasn’t been all smooth sailing for the brand. In 2021, food-world observer Joe Rosenthal uncovered instances of racial discrimination at the Nolita location, along with racist messaging from the ownership team on social media. The condemnation was swift, leading to the father-and-son owners, Dominic and Frank Morano, stepping down from the company.
