Pizzacraft Artisan Pizzeria

Food is absolutely amazing, we tried a few appetizers, the basil & mozzarella pizza, tiramissu and nutella pizza. Great and fast service!

Went on night with one other person. I do not eat meat or dairy so at first found the menu a bit tough as everything pretty much had cheese or a meat in or on it, but no problem. I asked the server if the chef would mind wiping up a simple tomato sauce with some pasta. He checked and the kitchen said yes. It was delicious! There are only two or three restaurants in town that I can say I would go back for their sauce and this is one of them. The pasta was cooked perfectly as well. My companion had a pizza and enjoyed his meal very much. Service was great and the atmosphere casual and comfortable. The bar room attached has a great ‘speakeasy’ feel. We will return again.

From pictures I had seen online I had to check the place out. The restaurant at first looks like a cute small restaurant, but in the back it has a very unique bar and lounge area. The lounge area is darker, but has a cool ambience to it. My fiancé had a drink called «the high fashion» which tasted good and we ordered polenta fries as our appetizer. They feel apart easy, but they were served with a garlic aoli which tasted amazing! We had a small order of penne alla vodka, which had mascarpone cheese and was absolutely delicious. For pizza we had the meatball pizza. The meatballs are made fresh in house and the pizza had a variety of cheese on it. Wasn’t drowning in sauce and everything tastes fresh. They have options for white and red pizzas. Wednesday they have half off pies and bottles of wine :)!

We were less than impressed with the brunch, especially compared to what the sister restaurants down the street offer. We ordered the spaghetti omelette and a hash. Both were very bland and disappointing. Did the bottomless mimosas for $ 15. Might be a deal if you arrived earlier but 2 mimosas later it was 3:05 and our server said the manager wouldn’t allow one more. Sister restaurants are much more about customer service and you don’t even pay the $ 15 to start. Go to ROK brgr or tacacraft if you want better food and service.
My friend likes the pizza, but finds it over priced with many better options nearby like Mellow Mushroom or Riverside Market.

Best pizza i have ever had anywhere
Ricotta app is a must
Crazy bread is messy but amazing
Best meal, ties with Burgerfi for favourite meals in Fort Lauderdale

Let me begin by saying that I only heard of this place through FB. They had an add for a mimosa for mom on Mother’s Day, and the picture of their pancakes got my attention. I clicked for the coupon, but never received the email. When I posted a message about it they were quick to reply to it on FB! I already got a good feeling from then. (Props for keeping up on social media!)
They don’t take rsvp, but when we arrived they sat us right down with no wait. The day was absolutely perfect, so we sat outside under the covered roof and enjoyed the great weather.
Server was very knowledgable of the menu and recommended the pancakes right away (everything made from scratch so they eventually do run out for the day). Ordered the lemon pancakes with blueberries and the Italian Benedict. WOWWWW! Both dishes were phenomenal!
Had a chance to go inside to use the restroom. Inside also looked very cool with the big pizza cooker. Definitely want to go back for round 2 of brunch and also on another occasion to try their pizza.
(Did a little research before going and the chef was on Hells Kitchen. So you know this place has to be great!)
Totally worth it! Enjoy!

Went to a theater show nearby and decided to make a stop. Ordered the pasta cabronara and we ordered a pizza that was the special of the day. It was a white pizza with gruyère cheese and shallet white sauce, red onions and olives. It also had slices of mortadella. Cabronara was pretty good but it was missing the egg. But the smoky bacon flavor and the sauce was delicious. The pizza was amazing! The crust was thin and crispy. Didn’t feel doughy or greasy. The flavor combo was great! I wish we would had room for the nutella pizza for dessert, but we ended up having the special coconut brûlée. It had great flavor but I didn’t enjoy the toasted coconut on top. I think it was too much. But overall can’t wait to go back and try something new. Server was fantastic and the weather was perfect for eating outside.

BEST. BRUNCH. EVER! We (4 hangry girls) came for brunch after a morning run on the beach. We were greeted and seated right away on their outside patio since the weather was so nice that morning. They also have an indoor seating area which is super cute authentic pizzeria style. We sat in a shady spot and had an awesome server, CJ! I applaud him for putting up with us and our post-​run shenanigans! Everything on their brunch menu looked delicious and we literally tried to order as much food as possible to get the most amount of things, because that’s what foodie friends do!
The Nutella Bruschetta was dynamite! I never realized how amazing caramelized bandannas tasted and the bread they used for this was so crispy crunchy and absolute perfection. You seriously can’t go wrong with Nutella, bananas, and bread! My only complaint is that there were only three pieces. This needs to be upgraded to at least 5! Just saying! The Avocado Toast was so refreshing and a whopping portion for only two pieces! I love avocado and it’s the beginning of the season for them so this starter dish was super fresh. We were actually trying to guess what ingredients were in the avocado mixture so we could make it at home! I’m still having dreams of the Meyer Lemon & Ricotta pancakes. Pro tip… don’t be the stupid ‘healthy’ one like me and order the egg sandwich. ORDER THE PANCAKES! Our server CJ told us this is usually the first thing to get sold out off their brunch menu and I can see why. The pancakes were HUGE and can definitely be shared between 2 – 3 people. The lemoney ricotta flavor paired so well with the fresh berries you didn’t even need syrup! The Bourbon Infused Peach French Toast was good but not my favorite out of everything we ordered. I feel like it was missing something and there weren’t enough peaches. Compared to the pancakes this dish fell short for me. The Breakfast Pizza was my second favorite dish we ordered! All kinds of breakfast type foods layered on top of a wood fired pizza? Seriously… this is a pizza lovers heaven! Seriously complimented this whole «craft movement» they’re going for. Plus this is predominantly a pizza place so DUH… GET THE PIZZA! Last, but certainly not least, was the Hangover Sandwich. Yeah I’m the weirdo that orders the «healthy» thing and wishes they would have ordered the pancakes. (I always do this.) The eggs were perfectly cooked and the ginormous slices of thick bacon were a little tough but I’m surely not going to complain about bacon. My only suggestion would be to put it on a different kind of bread. I’m not a huge fan of croissants and I think this sandwich would have been paired better with their crunchy bread over something soft. I also loved the side of fresh fruit and potato hash that was served with it. The coffee and crafted sodas we also ordered were phenomenal. Even though I’m not a regular soda drinker the brand they carry is not super sweet and had really great flavor.
Overall, Pizzacraft has great atmosphere, staff and menu! Again, the service was top notch and we were so blown away by the menu items I’m excited to return for more delicious pancakes and even for their regular non-​brunch menu. Highly recommend a stop in!

4÷10÷2016 — PizzaCraft has been on our running club’s radar for a while now. For our first run of the year on the beach, what better reward than Brunch! This is why we run.
We were there before the doors opened, first customers! We chose to sit outdoors since the weather was perfect. CJ, our server, greeted us and brought us waters while we perused the menu. WOW! What a menu. Our group was starving so we must of ordered at least half of the dishes on the Brunch menu.
* Nutella Bruschetta, with caramelized bananas and shaved hazelnuts, powdered sugar — I love Nutella but the caramelized bananas elevated this dish
* Avocado Toast on toasted Italian bread, heirloom tomato, chili flake, EVOO, local basil — MY FAVORITE DISH, the avocado was delicious, there was what we believe was a hint of lemon. BEST AVOCADO TOAST!
* Meyer Lemon & Ricotta Pancakes, blueberry compote, Vermont maple syrup, lemon custard and lemon zest — INCREDIBLE DISH! We just couldn’t stop eating. The berries were so fresh.
* French Toast, bourbon infused peaches — Great dish, I wish there were more peaches, maybe a thicker cut of peaches
* Breakfast Pizza… that’s right, an actual breakfast pizza! With smoked bacon, fingerling potatoes, cave aged guyere, fontina, caramelized onions, roasted farmed egg. That egg in the middle was the winner. Although for me, it needed something sweet
* Godfather Sandwich — I did not try this dish
The best part about going with friends is that you get to try all the dishes. Aside from the food, we ordered coffee, and crafted sodas. I ordered the Black Cherry mainly because of the crushed ice. Made me feel like a kid.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND PizzaCraft for BRUNCH. Our server CJ was a super star to deal with a group of starving women. At least we did not wait 45 minutes to be seated for a delicious brunch.

Finally got to try the pizza. We had the Sausage pizza which is VERY spicy. It has a chile pepper on it, that has a lot of kick to it. I like spicy food, but this was a little too spicy… had to drink a lot of water and lips were burning. The pizza is made with super fresh ingredients. You can see the fresh ingredients on display inside the restaurant. It was cooked in a pizza oven.
Service was friendly and efficient. They bring you a pitcher of water to table so you can keep refilling the tiny glass cups they give you. You need to request ice. There is indoor and outside seating. The menu is not large… pizza, a few pastas, and apps.
They have ½ price pizza and wine at night on Wednesday. That sounds like a good deal since most pizzas are $ 20 and serve two people.
Overall, a good place and I would return if in the area and wanting a pizza.

Save yourself the money and go to Dominoes. I hate to post such a scathing review and low rating for a restaurant I had such high hopes for, but honestly, I just wasn’t expecting overcooked (read: burnt) pizza at a premium price when making dinner plans tonight. We ordered the spicy sopressata and smoked bacon pizzas and the arincinis to start. The pizza was overcooked and the crust honestly had the consistency of cardboard. The arincinis had a good flavor but were nothing out of the ordinary. I wish I could say I loved this place after enjoying their sister restaurants Tacocraft and Rokburger so much, but unfortunately that was far from the case.

This spot is a much needed and very welcome addition to the area. Their menu is creative, the execution is pretty on point and their bar is AHMAZING!
On the first visit, the bartender took care of us since we were in a hurry to get to a concert at Revolution. She knew her stuff, and we ended up getting a pretty good buzz going while waiting for our pizza. They have some REALLY high end liquors, so if you’re in to that I would suggest coming to sit at the bar and spend some quality time (and money) there.
I’ve tried two apps and two pizzas, the polenta fries were good but missing something… I think I liked the aioli more than the polenta itself. The ricotta with pistachio, honey, sea salt and pepper was damn good. So good, I’ve made it myself. Twice. It’s addictive and really easy. The pizzas were really good, although the second visit I think our pizza was left in the oven a little too long…
The service is good, I actually enjoyed my experience at the bar more than at the tables but maybe that’s because it was a Saturday night and they were packed…
This spot is a must check out, and a for sure to return to.

While planning a girls night, my friend recommended we try this spot out… Of course, I checked it out on Unilocal first and it seemed pretty solid.
The Ambiance/​Décor/​Service: ⁵⁄₅
I loved everything about the setup at Pizza Craft… There was the main dining area and there was a nice lounge area by the bar (we didn’t sit there but I walked by and loved the laid back vibe). By the bathroom, the walls were covered in a red and black velvet damask wallpaper… LOVED IT! As for the service, our waitress was cool as hell, and she was very attentive.
What we ordered…
For appetizers–
* Crazy Bread: I read a ton of reviews about this stuff so I figured I’d try it out. It was a small loaf of bread, stuffed with cherry peppers, mozzarella, and soppressata (different types of salamis), and topped with a scallion/​cheese cream sauce. To be honest, I wasn’t impressed at all… it was tough to cut, and the only thing that really had any sort of «wow» factor was the soppressata. ³⁄₅
* Heirlooms & Burrata: Fancy talk for a Caprese salad. I wasn’t impressed by this at all, either… very bland. ¹⁄₅
* Little Gem Caesar: Simple Caesar salad… nothing special, but it was yummy. ⁴⁄₅
Entrees/​Pizza–
* Smoked Bacon: This pizza was recommended by the waitress and it was pretty good, except there was almost zero sauce on it (I mean damn, put SOME sauce!), but the delicious bacon and caramelized onions made up for it. ⁴⁄₅
* Meatball: After trying the previous pizza (which had white sauce), we decided to try this meatball pizza which had red sauce, meatballs, and basil. Not gonna lie, it was yummy, but I felt like, again, that «wow factor» was missing. ⁴⁄₅
Would I go back? Probably not, unless I was in the area and was craving pizza.

We came out on a Monday night which was perfect because we had the dog. It was quiet and I was on a mission to try the special that I saw posted on Facebook earlier that day. It was a House made Orecchiette with braised short rib. It was absolutely amazing. My boyfriend also ordered the special which was the Public House Hawaiian. Everything was insanely delicious, I recommend this place to everyone to at least try. We also took a chance with the ricotta cheesecake, which honestly, I never get dessert but I absolutely, positively had to have it! It was amazing, topped with blueberries and full of flavor.
I am very impressed with this place. I will definitely be coming back.

I’m literally walking out of the restaurant as I write this because I am bursting with love. Full disclaimer that I am on the tail end of a sickness so I haven’t really eaten much this week until this meal… I’m totally unsure if my judgement was clouded by how hungry I was but (huge declaration) I think this might have been the best pizza I’ve ever had. We had the carbonara pizza and from first bite, it was game over. I just stared at the slice in my hand for the first 20 seconds and wondered what would have happened if I didn’t come to dinner here tonight. How would I have made it through my life not having this pizza? Even better, I didn’t even /​want/​this particular pizza, but I was with my carbonara-​lover friend so I knew I had to concede. Basically, I’m going to be telling everyone I know about this pizza for the next few months. Watch out.
We also had the crazy bread which was good and all, I really liked it, but it just pales in comparison to this pizza. Again, maybe this is my post-​sickness hunger talking but wow.
Besides all this, our server, the host and the whole restaurant in general were also very lovely. I’d probably still give the place pretty rave reviews but yeah, did I mention the carbonara pizza? okay.
I’m afraid I’ve peaked too soon. I know I’ll be back but I’ll never try anything else.

First came ROK: BRGR. Then came Taco Craft. When you thought things could not get better, Pizza Craft was born! I’ve had my eyes on them for some time now and I was waiting for the perfect opportunity to check them out. All these restaurants are owned by the same people and nearby of each other in the heart of Fort Lauderdale. Parking can be a challenge downtown but we got lucky and parked right next to the place.
It is a small setting, decorated with lots of rustic white and red. When the waitress came up to us, before she could say hello I blurbed out «I want that crazy bread!». I kept seeing all these pictures on Unilocal of it and it looked incredible. I even asked her if its the one in the pictures and she said yes, its what everyone orders! This was probably the only reason why I came here and I am glad I did because it did not disappoint. Crazy bread consisted of cherry peppers, melt in your mouth mozzarella, soppressata, scallion cream and house marinara. With each bite you could appreciate all the different flavors going on. The bread was kind of hard to cut, and it was a little messy but who cares, it all ends up in one place doesn’t it?
We knew that Pizza was more than enough food but we wanted to try their hand crafted pasta as well so we ordered the Rigatoni Vodka and the Meatball Pizza. We were told the dishes were chef inspired and no substitutions or modifications were allowed. Not a deal breaker for me since I love trying dishes the way Chefs meant it to be tried. The pizza was thin crust and very well put together. Not the best pizza I have ever had, but it was pretty good. probably an ⁸⁄₁₀. I must tell you that the ingredients were top notch, the basil was fresh, the whipped ricotta was nice and light and overall I could taste the «craft» in this pie.
I am a sucker for vodka sauce so I knew I had to try this. It took come convincing since my girlfriend was not sold on the idea of ordering this but at the end she was glad I did. We both loved it. Once again, this did not taste like your vodka sauce that you buy out of a jar at the grocery store. This was more. The mascarpone was a nice touch to the dish.
We ordered a cannoli for dessert. Nothing special at all, as a matter of fact if you want dessert just skip it and go somewhere else. It was pretty standard and nothing that was impressive or unique about it. Would I recommend this place to a friend? Absoloutely! The food was excellent and so was the service. I would probably suggest to come during the week when it is slower because I believe it might be packed over the weekends. In the mood to drink? They have excellent craft cocktails and a full service bar that connects to PizzaCraft.

The makers of Taco Craft opened a Pizza place and since I LOVE Taco Craft I was excited to come here and try it out. Sadly, I wasn’t that impressed and I was really hoping to be.
It’s located right next to Taco Craft in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Parking is usually a challenge, but if you come here often you already know that.
The restaurant is cute. Small like Taco Craft. The tables are small & pretty close to each other (the kinda have to keep your conversations low so your neighbor doesn’t have to listen to you — close).
The staff was very friendly. We were seated and greeted right away.
We tried the crazy bread. We’ve seen a dozen pictures of this bread in Unilocal,so we had to give it a try. My boyfriend loved it — me, not so much.
It’s basically a loaf of baked bread stuffed with salami and peppers and then covered (and I mean soaked) in this cheese sauce. It’s not melted cheese, which is what it looks like in the pics — it’s saucy. I didn’t care for the sauce — sorry.
We tried the meatball pizza … The pizza has a very thin crust (the kind of thin where if you let it sit too long, the crust is soggy from the red sauce); red sauce, cheese, meatballs, and basil leaves. It was ok … I felt as though the sauce and meatballs were under seasoned. It was kind of bland. The only distinct taste I had was from the fresh basil.
We also tried the vodka pasta … Ok this was the bomb!!! I wish I had ordered a large instead of the small.
I am a PIZZA LOVER — so I was completely crushed when I didn’t care for the pizza :(
We had a cannoli for dessert since we were celebrating a special occasion and it was ok. Standard. Nothing special.
I am so sad I didn’t LOVE this place as I thought I would. I will definitely go back and give them a second try, but I think maybe I’ll stick with their tacos (which are amazing by the way).

I ordered some Pizzacraft food while enjoying drinks at Apothecary 330.
I had the Crazy Bread on my mind after reading some reviews. We ordered some of that with the special of the day Homemade Lasagna to share between the two of us.
I might be crazy for saying this but the Crazy Bread was alright. It’s a loaf of bread that is cut down the middle with soppressata stuffed down the middle (I didn’t see any cherry peppers or mozzarella but my friend may have eaten them all) and it was drenched in scallion cream with a teeny tiny bowl of house marinara. It was messy and difficult to cut.
The Homemade Lasagna was good. It is large enough piece to share and we even had some leftovers to bring home.
I will be going back to try the food again.
Stay tuned!

I’ve now been to Pizzacraft twice and tried different dishes each time. I really dig this place. The location is great (ok yes, you have to pay meter parking) and the ambiance is modern inside. They have lots of outdoor tables too when the weather gets cool.
Our first trip we went with friends and shared 2 pies and some apps. The warm olives were good, the fennel arugula salad was refreshing, and the house made ricotta was heavenly. It was super whipped and light, with a drizzle of honey and pistachios on top, paired with crispy crostini.
We tried their tomato basil and Bianca pizzas. The Bianca was special, lots of cheese, garlic and fried sage gave it a nice flavor. The crust does have a burnt flavor, maybe a little much, but still good.
On the last trip tried the Caesar salad and polenta fries for starters. The salad is different as it is wedges of lettuce and the croutons seemed fresh. The polenta fries were amazing. Freshly fried, crispy on outside and smooth inside. Came with a side of marinara and garlic aioli. They actually didn’t need it. We also had the vodka rigatoni with English peas and marscapone. Delicious! We tried the cannoli for dessert, ok, but nothing to write home about (or Unilocal about for that matter).
All in all, my favs have to be the polenta fries and homemade ricotta.
Service is very attentive, can go slow or fast depending on your plans. This is the closest restaurant to the Broward Center, great place to go before or after the show!

What an amazing dinner we had after a long night of beer sampling at beer fest! The food kiosks at the festival looked pretty mediocre and overpriced so was starved by the end of the night. Somehow on our drunken excursion we ended up at this pizzeria. Must of been the outside décor and fresh oven pizza aroma that allured us.
The food is so fresh and worth every star! The heirloom and burrata app we had was delicious! I would definitely recommend ordering that to start. For our entrée we went for The Forager pizza. This has to be one of the most savoriest white pizzas I ever had! Some resteraunts tend to serve white pizzas really dry and leave out the fresh herbs that bring the flavor out. Not my experience here! This pizza was pretty juicy from the truffle cream inside mixed with the exotic mushrooms.
I’m excited this place opened up near Los Olas, because the pizza scene was pretty lagging. No one wants after a night of drinking a bland, stale slice of pizza. Also, the décor inside and out has a very romantic, chic ambience to it. Great date night vibe.
