*****  Pieducks, 1451 South Miami Avenue, Miami, Florida 33130 (305) 808-7888.

Pieducks is a “brick oven pizza” joint. Actually, it is a “take-out-brick oven pizza” joint, because, maybe it’s got 10 seats for in-house eating. Super-modern looking, with an absolutely awesome looking brick-oven as the focal point. Trust me on this, this joint doesn’t look anything like your favorite neighborhood pizzeria or any pizza joint that you grew-up on…when you see this joint, you’ll know what I am talking about.

Now we all know that “cool” surroundings don’t guarantee that the food is any good…well, I have to tell you, that Pieducks pizza is absolutelty terrific. If I counted right, the joint makes 16 different pizzas and the plain-old “cheese pizza” that I had was the right combination of thin-crispy-sweet…just the way I like it. In addition a “sampling” of a caesar-salad topped with slices of brick-oven roasted chicken was also right on the money…by the way, the joint has 6 different salads.

Like I said before, the game here is really take-out…checkout Pieducks’ menu/prices at www.pieducks.com. As for pricing, not exactly Papa John’s where you get deals like 7 pizzas with 32 toppings for $6.31…Pieducks is no more expensive than your favorite pizza take-out joint.

For you lucky folks that live near Pieducks…the joint is open 7 days a week 11am-11pm and delivers.
