Ironside Pizza

We got off the plane after being gone for a week, and our first stop was here. We stopped for a Greek salad and their Involtini (pizza bites). They have either the Salumi or Vegetali. We also get it mixed. We were so hungry, we didn't get a photo of the pizza bites. We just ate them up. The food quality is good. Very fresh. The service was great. We had the whole place to ourselves, as it was close to closing time. We ate outside. It was very comfortable.

1) Ironside Pizza --- Lemonade was absolutely delicious. Fresh and just enough sugar to lemon ratio. Refreshing to say the least. Reminded me of childhood. --Service - this was fantastic. Server was very attentive, would go back because of service for sure. --Margarita Pizza - 7.1. Basil all on center of Pizza, as if the chef just threw it in the middle without thinking that the first bite of the 4 slices was in a fact a Margherita pizza, and the rest of everything was just a cheese pizza. Sauce was fantastic definitely homemade. Pizza was a bit soggy, but overall not a bad pizza. Dough was crispy on crust but underneath was a bit under. --Outdoor seating but every table has a tower fan and that's important in Miami heat, kept things cool. Signage tucked away behind trees. --Auto gratuity at 18%- not that I wasn't going to tip but it is a little presumptuous to force 18% I used a business card and I am only allowed to tip 15% on corporate transactions for food. And now I will have to spend extra time explaining to my company why 18% was given. I do not think that is right by any means. I planned on paying 15% and then extra in cash as I always do. I do not agree with that at all. I can understand for parties of 6 or more. But i was by myself. Brought me from a 4 to 3 stars because of this issue.

Solid, delicious pizza in a spacious outdoor environment surrounded by plants, art, and shops. Service was good. My husband and I enjoyed local Tripping Animals beer and flavorful Italian wine.

First time at Ironside and I already planned my return lol! Pasta was delicious, pizza was delicious, drinks were delicious. Only thing is I wish the pasta came out hotter, it would have made it ten times better! :)

What an amazing restaurant!First off - the complimentary bread with olive oil, balsamic vinaigrette, salt, pepper and spicy Calabrian chili oil was fantastic. Seriously so good.We brought our own bottle of wine and they chilled and poured it while we were there. Such a nice touch! For an appetizer, we ordered the Tagliere Salumi and Formaggi appetizer and it was incredible. Every meat and cheese was high quality and tasted great. Our server was Steve and he was awesome. We asked his thoughts on dishes and he gave his honest opinions. I got the Pappardelle Funghi and my husband got the Lasagna Bolognese. Both dishes were delicious and clearly homemade. I had to stop myself from eating too much because it was just that good!For dessert we got the lemon gelato and tiramisu. Both were great. We wandered around afterwards and the grounds are beautiful. We read about the Berlin Wall art pieces and saw the lush gardens and storefronts. A must-see when you visit! Service was some of the best we have had in a long time. Andrew was the manager and was so helpful and attentive. Steve was awesome and made the experience wonderful. Other staff helped when others were busy and it made all the difference. We will absolutely be back and will tell everyone to visit here as well!

Romantic outdoor secluded dining. Great service, good food and feels like somewhere else and not the Miami crowd.

Overall great experience, both dining in and ordering out. Nice courtyard patio. The pizza and calzone are good. So are the meatballs.

I'm sure you've heard the saying the straw that broke the camels back well as a foodie I would offer the meatball that knocked the review down some stars.I stopped at iron side to get dinner while in the area recently, and since I had faster during the day I got it for me or try to. My choices were the meatball appetizer, the pear pizza, and their torta mele: Iced tea and coffee we're also thrown in the mix. I'll come right out and say it if I had skip the appetizer this review would have remained four stars.When I received my appetizer plate, it looked more like a meatball soup with what looked and tasted like a greasy soup. I left one because I was hungry. The menu said tomato sauce, but I later found out that they prepare theirs in rendered fat. I wish they would either update their menu or clarify what their sauce is made of. My main dish was their pear pizza in a white sauce, which was actually pretty tasty. I don't think I would have downgraded my review if I only ordered this. Each slice had a fresh pear slice. My dessert was their torta de melé, an apple cake with vanilla gelato. This is something that I would order again. Service could also be a little more attentive, and with the fact that you have to pay for parking in a private lot with the risk of getting booted if you linger over your mail put Ironside low on my priority list.

Very good pizza; I loved the taste, and the ingredients were fresh. The seating is mostly outdoor and has a lot of fans. The place is really nice for big parties and even a date night. You have the option to bring your own bottle of wine to enjoy there. I will definitely come back for the happy hour, which is between 4-6 p.m. every day, for half the price on pizza! The customer service was very good.

The food. NONot quality at all. Crust with no flavor and bland sauce.A dying backwater spot which will not last too much longer.Dour looking staff, don't seem to want to be there, no smiles to be seen.
