If you’ve lived in Miami, chances are you’ve tasted the iconic crunchy, cheesy squares from Frankie’s Pizza. This beloved Bird Road spot, located at 9118 Southwest 40th Street, has been a South Florida staple since 1955—and this Valentine’s Day, it’s turning 70!
Frankie’s is more than just a pizza shop; it’s a slice of Miami history. Opened by Frank and Doreen Pasquarella after their honeymoon in 1954, Frankie’s has been family-run for generations. Roxanne Pasquarella, one of their daughters, proudly calls the shop her father’s “first child.” Fun fact: the original pans from 1955 are still in use!
To celebrate seven decades of deliciousness, Frankie’s is throwing a party on February 14 from 6 to 11 p.m. Expect classic cars, drinks, and, of course, plenty of pizza.
Miami historian Cesar Becerra is also commemorating the milestone with a new edition of his book, Frankie’s Pizza: A 70 Year Love Affair.
For nostalgia lovers, this isn’t just a pizza party—it’s a celebration of Westchester’s rich history. Don’t miss it, and if you can’t make it, Frankie’s ships pies nationwide via GoldBelly.
Cheers to 70 years of Frankie’s!
