Mega Pizza

Mega Pizza at a glance

Mega Pizza is a pizza-by-the-slice and whole-pie counter at 865 Collins Avenue, Unit C, Miami Beach, FL 33139. It sits on the block between the northern end of Collins Avenue and the Ocean Drive and Lummus Park area. The official site and Google Maps listing confirm the same Unit C storefront. Mega Pizza runs on a “Size Matters” tagline built around oversized New York-style slices and pies. It stays open past midnight every night of the week. That’s a practical stop after the beach, dinner or a night out — not a formal sit-down destination.

New York-style pizza and oversized pies

Mega Pizza markets itself on large-format New York-style pizza. Full pies and single slices come cut in the New York tradition, plus a Mega XXL pie sized for a group. The format is counter service: order at the register or online, then eat in, take out or wait for delivery. That style suits a mixed group better than a formal restaurant, when speed matters more than a sit-down meal. It lines up with how visitors use nearby Miami Beach restaurants for a range of paces: quick counter stops or reserved dinners.

History and pizza style

The owner, known on the venue’s own site as Moe, trained in culinary school and managed restaurants on cruise ships. He worked in Italy too, where he developed his approach to Italian pizza-making. A move to Brooklyn introduced him to New York-style pizza’s thin, crispy, foldable crust. In 2005 he opened Mega Pizza in Florida. His goal: some of the largest New York-style pies available, up to 30 inches across. He builds them on hand-crushed San Marzano tomato sauce and slow-rising dough. That background explains both the shop’s oversized pies and its New York-leaning menu. It’s not a generic South Beach tourist-pizza format.

Menu highlights

Mega Pizza serves New York-style pizza by the slice and whole pie, including a Mega XXL pie up to 30 inches, plus Cheese, Pepperoni, Veggie Lover, Buffalo Chicken, Hawaiian, Meat Lover, BBQ Chicken, Sausage and Pepperoni, and Supreme options. Beyond pizza, the menu adds calzones and stromboli. Chicken fingers and wings come in Buffalo, BBQ, lemon pepper and habanero styles. Rounding it out: a chicken sandwich, a cheeseburger, a Philly cheesesteak, fries and a Caesar salad with an optional grilled chicken add-on. Dipping sauces include ranch, blue cheese, honey mustard, marinara and BBQ. The current menu does not publish fixed prices online. Live pricing shows at checkout through the site’s ordering system. Confirm cost there, or by phone, before placing a large group order.

Who Mega Pizza suits

Mega Pizza suits visitors who want food fast without giving up a beach day or a night out to a sit-down meal. It also suits locals who want a dependable order after a late shift or a night in. It is a weaker fit for a slow, seated dinner, a quiet date or anyone wanting table service. The format is order-at-the-counter with pickup, delivery and casual eat-in, rather than a server-run dining room. Knowing that distinction before arriving avoids the mismatch of expecting a full-service restaurant experience from a counter-and-delivery pizza shop.

Ordering, delivery and takeout

Mega Pizza takes orders through its own website for pickup and delivery. Real-time order tracking follows the food from the kitchen to the delivery address. That makes it usable as a walk-up counter for beach-day or nightlife food. It also works as a delivery option for a hotel room or rental when going out isn’t the plan. There is no published reservation system. This is an order-and-go format, not a book-ahead restaurant, so a large group should call ahead if timing matters.

Dietary considerations

The published menu lists a Veggie Lover pizza and a Caesar salad for vegetarians, but no vegan or gluten-free items are listed, so call ahead if that’s a requirement. Guests who need a dairy-free cheese substitute or a gluten-free crust should call 305-673-3636 before ordering. Don’t assume a modified pie is available. A group with mixed dietary needs will get a more reliable answer from a direct call than from the general menu listing. That call is worth making before arriving, not after ordering.

Hours and late-night timing

Mega Pizza opens at 10 a.m. daily and closes at 3:30 a.m. Monday through Wednesday, 4:30 a.m. Thursday, and 5 a.m. Friday through Sunday. That schedule is confirmed on the venue’s own contact page. It’s built around late beach and nightlife traffic, rather than a typical dinner service. That makes it a realistic stop after a show, a club or a late walk back from Ocean Drive, once most kitchens nearby have closed. Confirm same-day hours before a special trip, since holiday schedules can differ from the standard weekly pattern.

Getting there and practical notes

The address is 865 Collins Avenue, Unit C, Miami Beach, FL 33139. It’s a short walk from Ocean Drive and Lummus Park. There is no dedicated valet or parking lot tied to the restaurant. Plan on street parking or a walk from a nearby hotel. Check the linked map for the exact building entrance. Collins Avenue unit numbers can be easy to miss at night. Phone 305-673-3636 is the direct line for a same-day question about hours, a large order or a delivery range.

Planning a Miami Beach day around Mega Pizza

Because it is built for speed and volume rather than atmosphere, Mega Pizza works best as one stop in a bigger South Beach day, rather than the whole plan. Pair it with time on the sand, a walk down Ocean Drive, or as the late-night food stop after choosing a sit-down dinner elsewhere. The best restaurants in Miami Beach guide is a useful starting point for that earlier meal. Locals nearby can treat it as a reliable late-night order rather than a special-occasion destination. The combination of 30-inch pies, San Marzano sauce and a near-5-a.m. kitchen is a specific niche, not a general dining recommendation.
