When Gramps Wynwood finally pulled the plug this past December, the collective mourning for its pizza window<\/a> was almost as loud as the grief for the bar itself. <\/p>\n

For nearly a decade, Pizza Tropical served as the neighborhood\u2019s late-night food spot<\/a>, where concert-goers and karaoke regulars ended their nights with a thin slice in one hand and hot honey wings in the other. But while the original Gramps courtyard is now destined for a residential high-rise, the pizza has officially found its second act<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pizza Tropical<\/a> has quietly soft-opened its new permanent home at 7010 Biscayne Blvd., right next to Dogma<\/a> in the heart of the Upper East Side. The move marks a transition from a window operation to a full-blown neighborhood spot, situated in a part of town that owner Adam Gersten recently noted still holds the \u201csoul\u201d that Wynwood arguably priced out years ago.<\/p>\n

A Partnership with Staying Power<\/p>\n

The reopening isn\u2019t just a solo comeback; it\u2019s a partnership between founders Frank Pinello<\/a> (of Brooklyn\u2019s Best Pizza fame) and Adam Gersten, alongside one of the restaurant\u2019s longest-serving employees. While the location has changed, the restaurant still remains familiar.<\/p>\n

For those who spent years shouting orders for an \u201cEl Peppe\u201d or \u201cLa Blanca\u201d over the bass of a DJ set, the menu classics are all accounted for. The move to a brick-and-mortar address allows for the same thin-crust signatures and garlic rolls that built their cult following, and in a win for the neighborhood, the classic cheese slice remains a steady $5.<\/p>\n

The Delivery Era Begins<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most significant upgrade for the 2026 iteration is that you no longer have to find parking in a congested entertainment district to get a fix. <\/p>\n

Pizza Tropical has officially launched delivery via DoorDash<\/a>, making the pizza more easily accessible to those who prefer to enjoy it on their couch.<\/p>\n

The vibe on the Biscayne Boulevard is a far cry from the gravel-lot grit of early Wynwood, but that seems to be exactly the point. The space is currently designed to feed the neighborhood during the day and early night, though it remains to be seen whether they will eventually push those hours back into the early-morning territory that made them famous.<\/p>\n
