Come Fall 2026, Miami Beach might soon be pilgrimage-worthy for diehard pizza enthusiasts with the opening of Royale Pizza Napoletana, the first Tokyo-style Neapolitan pizza restaurant in South Florida. It will also signal the stateside arrival of none other than iconoclastic Japanese pizzaiolo Chef Bun of the genre-defining Japanese Neapolitan pizza concept, Savoy. <\/p>\n
The brainchild of banking entrepreneur and restaurateur Jess Varughese \u2013 the innovator behind Miami\u2019s ultra-exclusive and secretive members-only restaurant Haiku \u2013 Royale Pizza will deliver the ethereal, fresh, technically-precise and deceptively-complex pies that have made Bun a legend and Savoy an international must-try for foodies, celebs, and jetsetters. <\/p>\n
For the culinary intelligentsia, Tokyo-style Neapolitan pizza has been \u201ca thing\u201d since exploding in the early 2000s, capturing the hearts and minds of chefs and savvy travelers; so much so that the science-driven, palate-pleasing pies ventured west to Los Angeles, New York City, and even Nashville. Now, with Royale Pizza, this game-changing approach to pizza-making will find its furthermost home, fueled by Bun and an unparalleled A-Team assembled by Varughese. <\/p>\n
\u201cFundamental to the Royale Pizza concept was the team that would be necessary to make it authentic and true to the science and spirit behind Tokyo-style Neapolitan pizza,\u201d noted Varughese, who conceived of the Royale concept two years ago after a Haiku member, and Savoy devotee, hipped Varughese to arguably one of the most perfect pizzas in the world. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Come Fall 2026, Miami Beach might soon be pilgrimage-worthy for diehard pizza enthusiasts with the opening of Royale…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":402863,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,125,124],"class_list":["post-402862","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/402862","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=402862"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/402862\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/402863"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=402862"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=402862"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=402862"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
