Squiggy’s NY Style Pizza

Great pizza. Nice man working there. Gave me a generous amount of food for the money. Would go back! Also great outdoor seating.

Thin, greasy, goodness. How long does this review need to be? I don’t have anything else to say because I want to finish eating this cheesy pepperoni and pineapple Godliness that is in front of me.

For anyone who went to UMD and knew and loved Ratsie’s back in the day, this is an amazing way to get a piece of that nostalgia here in FTL. I thought I had been time warped when I walked in here years after college for a late night drunk munchie one night after bar hopping.
Turns out the owner is a good NY boy and damn he makes the best pies and calzones I’ve found in Fort Lauderdale, Bar None. BF had never had any authentic cannoli a before either since he’s from the heartland, and even a guy who isn’t a sweet tooth was in heaven.
I’m fairly certain that my bonding with the guy at 2am and whipping out a little of my NY accent that I typically suppress may have helped us get the bigger slices of pie and a bit more cannoli crème in the middle of the packed strip full of people. This is one thing to notice-​there really isn’t a place to sit down, it’s eat and run or go outside and keep on drinking/​sober up while your Über comes around.
I need to make it down here one of these days when I’m not drinking, maybe one of these days after iMax I’ll head over and grab a whole pie to go. But the atmosphere of the packed pizza joint is after the Himmarshee bars let out-​but expect a line! Even with a line the Staff are used to it, and are quick and fun and happy to do it.

Any pizza is good drunk, right? Not so much. Chicken was undercooked and chewy. Stick to Taco Bell.

If you are eating here you are drunk. If you are eating here you are not about to pull up Unilocal and say «gee I wonder what Unilocal says about this yucky pizza joint in the middle of himmarshee» for what it is, and what it provides (greasy cheesy goodness after a binge drinking episode) it does the trick. The line can get long, but it typically moves quick. It’s definitely not the best slice of your life but depending on how much you drank it could taste that way.

We stumbled on this place and were pleasantly surprised!!! It is literally the Best pizza I have EVER had!!! Family owned, very friendly staff. Must go to!!! There is no wAy to describe the crust and flavor… I can not wait to return to ft lauderdale to have this pizza!!!

It hit the spot. This a little pizzeria similar to the ones that you find on NY. They also offered gyros and Italian sausage hot dogs. This is a good place to end up your night after some drinking. I visited this place on a Friday night and the line was really really long. The pizza was amazing; the sauce had the right combination between sweetness; acidity and spice. There’s some outside seating if you’re lucky enough to find a spot.

This is seriously the best pizza place on SW 2^nd in Fort Lauderdale. Tony (owner) is a true New Yorker with legit New York style pizza. Ask any bartender on the Fort Lauderdale strip and they will tell you to come here. You will not be disappointed

I remember hitting up Squiggy’s in the late 90s early 2000s after clubbing all night long. The pizza was delicious and the closest thing you could get to NY pizza. But then I grew up, RiverFront closed, the bars on 1^st dwindled down and then I did not have the need to order a slice or 2 at 4am! However, I will always have those memories. I recently was downtown when a homeless man approached me for change. I did not have any cash on me but then he asked me if I would buy him a slice of pizza. While I am not wealthy, I felt it was the right thing to do so we walked to Squiggy’s. I ordered him 2 slices and then he asked for pepperoni (which was pushing it a little) and the nice man behind the counter heated them up. When he saw that it was for a homeless man, he gave me a bit of a discount, which was very nice. The pizza is good, the service is straightforward, and I will always remember my drunken nights sobering up with a slice from Squiggy’s!

We are downtown and need something to eat quick before we hit the nightlife. Squiggys had huge NY slices of pizza and I had the best cannoli ever! Their calzones were so bomb everything was so flavorful but not greasy which was even better. They serve beer too! The staff were so friendly and nice! Would recommend anyone coming here for a good affordable meal.

So after some solid years of drinking downtown I finally had Squiggy’s for the first time in my life!
What took me so long? Well for one, I always religiously parked in the RiverFront garage and there was another (may still be there) pizza place around the corner from Art Bar which had tables and chairs. And after a full night of drinking I definitely wanted to eat my pizza while seated… and Squiggy’s does not have seats. And you may or may not remember some of those tales of what goes on at Squiggy’s after hours? I won’t fill you in on here as I’m sure you can google… but for those with sanitary concerns, well Squiggy’s isn’t your place to go.
So fast forward to now. Seating is less of a concern when you’re now bar hopping instead of clubbing… and now I park near Squiggy’s as RiverFront (RIP) is long and gone. So when a friend suggested we grab a slice at the late night hour of midnight lol I happily agreed.
I opted for the veggie slice because seeing green on my food makes me happy… and it was delicious! I’m not pizza connoisseur but this was great and had some crispiness to the dough so I didn’t need to dangle it in front of my mouth to get a bite!
It isn’t often that I need to eat pizza after a night out anymore (the liver and brain have really forced me to slow down) but next time I need pizza late night, I’ll be stopping by Squiggy’s!

DISCLAIMER: I AM A CHICAGO GUY…
That said… Tony and his ‘za are a Ft. Lauderdale Institution. He really takes pride in the quality of product he offers and it absolutely shows. My wife is a cheese girl and I am a sausage guy, but regardless of the extra topping, the cheese, sauce and crust make this Ft. lauderdale’s best pizza offering.
Now I understand that the 2 am crowd might not possess the ‘James Beard’ award winning discerning palate, but those lucky inebriated souls are enjoying something akin to performance art.
Your pizza may arrive on a humble paper plate, but do not underestimate the treat you are about to experience! The cheese, warm and delicious, not too stringy or too chewy, the sauce, tangy & tasty, and the crust: crunchy and thin.
In short, I don’t just enjoy Tony’s pizza, I admire his heart, because that’s what you get in every bite.
No matter the time of day, I encourage you to try his pizza. I NEVER regret choosing Squiggy’s and you won’t either.

I had two slices last night after getting off work late. It was about 11:30pm. It was one of the only places that I could get something hot and fresh without going the fast food route.
The guy at the counter was nice enough and helpful. I ordered a slice of meat lover’s and a slice of veggie (spinach, tomato, basil, mozz). The dough was thin and crispy and the sauce was delicious. I ordered a side of it and was damn near licking the inside of the little styrofoam cup. Between the two slices, I liked the spinach tomato better. It had a clean taste, wasn’t too greasy, and the flavors stood out singularly as well as together. The meat lovers just felt too decadent going down after a lighter flavor. Next time I will get two veggie. My gut and thighs will thank me for it manifold.
The only thing I didn’t like was that I didn’t get a receipt explaining what cost what. I got the two slices, a small 5 oz cup of sauce and a canned iced tea (Peace Tea… which are like Arizona Teas. They usually don’t go for more than a buck.) My total was $ 13??? I was tired and hungry so I just forked it over but after waking up this morning, I’m scratching my head as to why it cost so much.

OMG, the pizza I ordered was everything. I had the sausage and pepperoni with bacon. On a Friday night bar hopping, you definitely have to stop here!!!

Horrifyingly bad (and overpriced.) One of the worst slices of pizza I’ve had in a long time. I’ve always wondered why there isn’t any decent late-​nite snack spot among all the bars and clubs in this area… even one semi-​OK competitor could raise the stakes enough to make them at least care a little more about what they’re dishing out. It’s a sad reflection on Ft. Lauderdale that this seems to be the iconic late-​nite place. But that’s a big part of the problem: since most of their patrons are drunk out of their minds, they’ll eat any kind of crap, and this place has no problem just serving it right up!

Boyfriend and I were craving pizza and wanted somewhere we could walk to. Their pizza isn’t bad but definitely understand why their business mainly comes from people who have had a few drinks. If you’re craving a quality pizza I would not recommend this place but if you’re looking for a quick slice then this place would suit you.

Nothing great. Your regular pizza stop. Its ok when u are out in ft lauderdale area and you re drunk and need a quick snack to keep party. The place is always crowed it and the owner are rude. Anyways what get what you pay for. 3 dollar cheese pizza five for speciality. Overall ok place if you are around and drunk go for it.

Best pizza in Downtown Ft Lauderdale! Their pies are thin and crispy and simply delicious. However, the best dish from this joint is the canollis! I make sure that every time I’m in the vecinity, I get one because they are heaven in my mouth! The filling is sweet enough but not overpowering and the crust is crunchy and delicious… OMG I need to go get one after this review is done lol

Huge slice for $ 5
Also gyros

Five stars for what it is. a slice of pizza and a coke after a night out that involve drinks! You go in, you do your thing — eating — and bam! Thanks for a slice of pizza. Three stars overall, and a mention on my Late Night Gourmet list!
