Pummarola “Pizza Napoletana”

Pummarola “Pizza Napoletana” is a pizza place in Miami Gardens, FL, located at 1678 NE Miami Gardens Dr. It serves authentic Neapolitan pizza, fresh pastas, sandwiches, salads, sides, and desserts. The pizzeria offers dine-in, delivery, takeout, and curbside service, along with pizza-making classes and catering.

The restaurant’s history traces back to 1968 in Naples, Italy, where Rosa Donna Rummo founded the original Pummarola. Known for her Sunday feasts and her crimson Fiat 500, which neighbors nicknamed a "pummarola" (the Neapolitan word for tomato), she established a beloved local spot that operated for two decades. After her passing, her four grandchildren worked together to reopen the brand, carrying her legacy across the world. The current location honors this heritage by importing custom-built wood-fired ovens from Italy. The kitchen uses specific ingredients to maintain traditional quality, including plum tomatoes imported from Italy, whole milk mozzarella from Italian farmers, and Italian Polselli flour for the dough. Each pizza is baked to be soft at the center and crisp at the edges. The menu extends beyond pizza to include hearty sandwiches and indulgent desserts, all prepared with a focus on Neapolitan tradition. A signature Fiat 500 is displayed inside the location as a tribute to Rosa.

The pizzeria sits on NE Miami Gardens Dr, just a short distance from Northeast 186th Street. It is located about a tenth of a mile from Skylake Mall and roughly two-tenths of a mile from an MD Now Urgent Care clinic. Greyknoll Lake is approximately four-tenths of a mile away, while Greynolds Park Elementary School and Primary Learning Center C are both within half a mile.

The business holds a 5.00 rating, reflecting a positive experience for the customers who have reviewed it.
