***** Don Nicola Pizzeria, 3585 Mystic Pointe Drive, Aventura, Florida 33180, (786) 916-2028.

Got something real good for you guys, Don Nicola Pizzeria located in the Mystic Pointe condominium hi-rise community in Aventura.

Not for nothing, you gotta go through a guard-house to get to the joint- but don’tcha-worry, the guards- all honor graduates of the Colonel Klink School of Security & Counter Terrorisn will let you in, just have a current driver’s license… When you go through the ‘checkpoint” the restaurant which has a handful of indoor/outdoor tables is about 100 feet straight ahead right on the Intracoastal Waterway.

As you can see from the menu down below, kinda limited- handful of gas-brick oven pizzas, salads, entrees, desserts- wine and beer.

Real simple tale…Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats absolutely loved the thin crisp -sweet sauce margherita pizza, chicken napolitana, fresco verde salad that we ordered.

Another cool thing about Don Nicolas Pizzeria- unless you live in Mystic Pointe you’re probably the only person in your “social circle” (that is-unless like you they read Jeff Eats) who has ever heard of the joint- for whatever that’s worth! Look at it this way, when you eat there- you ain’t gonna be bumping into your obnoxious next door neighbor -the one with the Doctor Diamond Nose- who constantly brags to you that her kids went to Harvard while your two geniuses- were lucky to have made it through Staten Island Community College!

The joint is open Tuesday-Sunday 5pm-9:30pm. closed on Monday.
