The iconic taste of New York City pizza has landed in South Florida, as Wiseguy Pizza opens its doors on Las Olas Boulevard. Renowned for its authentic New York-style pies, the Washington D.C.-based brand is making its first foray into the Sunshine State, bringing the “cheesy truth” to Fort Lauderdale.
Inspired by the quintessential New York slice, reminiscent of John Travolta’s famous double-slice walk through Brooklyn, Wiseguy Pizza aims to deliver a taste of the Big Apple to locals and visitors alike.
Authentic New York Flavor
“Good, authentic New York-style pizza. 18-inch pizzas, big slices, where you can come in and have the whole pie or you can have a single slice,” says Gregory Hines of Wiseguy Pizza. The pizzeria promises saucy, flavorful pies with generously large slices that capture the essence of NYC’s pizza culture.
Quality Ingredients
The secret to Wiseguy Pizza’s authenticity lies in its ingredients. The olive oil comes from Italy, tomatoes from California, and cheese from Wisconsin’s contented cows. This meticulous selection ensures that each slice embodies the true spirit of New York-style pizza.
Community Demand
Wiseguy Pizza’s decision to open on Las Olas Boulevard was driven by local demand. “Las Olas was starving for a New York-style pizzeria,” Hines explains. “In talking to the people, in talking to the public, people in the building, they were asking about it so we thought we’d deliver.”
Menu Highlights
The menu boasts a variety of options, ensuring there’s something for every pizza lover:
Traditional Margherita Pizza: Olive oil, basil, and fresh mozzarella on a rich tomato sauce.
Il Capo: A hearty combination of sausage, pepperoni, and ham.
Customers are already singing praises. Jerry Martins remarks, “It’s excellent pizza. Great service, I love coming here, the crew is awesome.”
