Menu and prices
Menu snapshot, checked September 2026: classic pizzas run from $14 for the Marinara to $29 for the Americana, while the Margherita STG is $22. Gourmet pizzas shown on the official menu generally run $20–$31, and pasta and gnocchi options run $18–$30. Prices and availability can change, so check the official La Leggenda menu before ordering.
What to order
The $22 Margherita STG is the traditional benchmark: San Marzano tomato, Mozzarella di Bufala Campana DOP, basil, and the preparation standard behind Giovanni’s 2012 championship. For a simpler option, Loredana’s competition-winning Marinara is also part of the regular menu. The kitchen goes beyond pizza with panuozzi, calzoni, pizza fritta, pasta, and gnocchi, which makes the restaurant practical for groups that do not all want the same course.
Hours, location, and ordering
La Leggenda is open every day from 12:30 PM to 11:30 PM at 224 Española Way, Miami Beach, FL 33139. The official website links to Toast for third-party online ordering. No first-party reservation route is currently published, so call the restaurant directly for seating questions rather than relying on an unverified booking listing.
Gluten-free guidance
Gluten-free dough can be used for any pizza for a $7 supplement. La Leggenda says it uses dedicated utensils and trays, but pizzas are prepared in the same kitchen and oven as flour-based pizzas, so cross-contact is possible. The venue says this option is not recommended for guests with severe gluten allergies; discuss individual dietary requirements with the team before ordering.
Why choose La Leggenda
La Leggenda is the focused Española Way choice when Neapolitan pizza is the main goal. The two-champion story, daily lunch-to-late-evening hours, and a menu that spans pizza, pasta, gnocchi, and fried specialties distinguish it from a broad Italian restaurant that happens to serve pizza.
