Pummarola Pizzeria Napoletana

Pummarola Pizzeria Napoltana is a Pizza Place in Miami Beach, FL. The restaurant serves authentic Neapolitan pizza, fresh pastas, hearty sandwiches, crisp salads, sides, and desserts. It offers dine-in, delivery, takeout, and curbside service, along with pizza-making classes and catering. The pizzeria imports custom-built wood-fired ovens from Italy to bake its pizzas.

The business traces its origins to Rosa Donna Rummo, who founded the original Pummarola in Naples, Italy, in 1968. Her Sunday feasts for neighbors and friends inspired the name, derived from the Neapolitan dialect word for tomato, after passersby compared her crimson Fiat 500 to a pummarola. After Rosa passed away, her four grandchildren worked together to reopen the brand across the world, continuing her legacy. Inside the locations, her signature Fiat 500 is displayed as a tribute. The current menu honors her recipes using plum tomatoes imported from Italy, whole milk mozzarella from Italian farmers, and Italian Polselli flour. The dough is crafted to be soft at the center and crisp at the edges, reflecting the centuries-old art of Neapolitan pizza-making.

The Miami Beach location sits on Alton Road, a short distance from Dade Boulevard. It is located about a tenth of a mile from the Social Security Administration office and Talmudic University, with a dialysis clinic and a sports center also within a tenth of a mile.

The business holds a rating of 4.80 from the customers who have reviewed it. This positive rating reflects the quality of the ingredients and the traditional preparation methods used in the kitchen.

Pummarola Pizzeria Napoletana brings the specific tradition of Neapolitan pizza-making to Miami Beach, maintaining the standards established by its founders in Naples.
