Laurenzo’s used to br great. You couldn’t get in the door around the holidays. Everyone spoke Italian and it had high standards of food and was clean. Last time I was there all the employees spoke hardly any English. It is Italian and Spanish food sold there now. There is another great Italian market I used to go to on Johnson Street in Hollywood called Gino’s. Been there since the 70′s. Mimi’s who makes all the ravoili you see in the frozen food sections around here has their own store. Also around for a long time. They sell all freshly made manicotti and stuffed shells and ravoili. The home cooked food for take out is really really Italian. Escarole spup (scharolle)_ sausage and peppers home made sauce (gravy). The home made soups and entrees.. the breads baked right there..the cakes, real Italian cookies and authentic cheeses… a great store and family run..also on Johnson Street.

Great mkt to shop at.
I use Publix for basics like milk. soda, paper goods.
The real food comes from Laurenzo’s.

King’s property was sold (and closed) to a South Florida developer that eventually filed bankruptcy……. I was at the auction of all their remaining items like the wine, coolers, food etc. All other’s that have emailed about King’s demise are wrong. Love your blog!

Laurenzo’s Italian Market has been a North Miami Beach Landmark for almost 50 years. There is a reason they have been around for so long. Their food is excellent. They also have a wonderful wine selection. By Gregg L. Friedman MD, Psychiatrist, Hallandale Beach, FL

Todd if your in that area go accross the street from Piece of Pizza to Dean Anthonys. My office is right there and we order from just about everyone in the area and thats our favorite. BTW i am not from NY and dont like most NY style pizza.

Got to agree, Brooklyn Boys’ Pizza is as good as it gets in Boca. I’m there once a week.

todd, ive lived in Boca 30 years. Peace a Pizza is fair. The best slice is at Brooklyn Boys on 441 and Glades. The best red sauce place is Nino’s in Boca. Thick N Thin on 441 is also very good. Augy’s is also very good. Barone’s La Pizzeria in Coral Springs is my favorite red sauce in all of Florida. Delicious food and terrific pizza. I highly recommend that you make the drive and try it.

Been in Florida for over 40 years.
The best market is The Boys. Laurenzo’s is also very good but I think that The Boys’ selection is a drop better. Kings was good but not in the league of these two. Doris is fair at best. Joseph’s is good but not like The Boys and Laurenzo’s. Hope that confuses everybody!!!
