Harry’s Pizzeria Opens at Downtown Dadeland on Thursday

On Thursday, Harry’s Pizzeria® will open its third South Florida location at 8975 SW 72nd Place at the corner of SW 90th Street in the heart of Downtown Dadeland, an emerging culinary destination at the fulcrum of the communities of Pinecrest and Kendall. With complimentary parking validation and the addition of online ordering at harryspizzeria.com for takeout and delivery, James Beard Award-winning chef/owner Michael Schwartz’s neighborhood American pizzeria now offers more ways than ever to access better pizza and a genuine experience the whole family can build a meal around.

“We are so excited to connect with a new community to the south excited about gathering around great food, which is exactly what Harry’s is all about,” says Schwartz. “We love that we can add better pizza into the mix and look forward to welcoming guests into our new home with genuine hospitality!”

Harry’s Pizzeria Downtown Dadeland was built to thoughtfully, optimally serve longtime fans and a new community in a few key ways that enhance the experience of better pizza. With its third restaurant, the brand rolls out Online Ordering on Thursday across all Harry’s Pizzeria locations at harryspizzeria.com. Guests can select their location and place orders for takeout on its own userfriendly menu dashboard. As the design of future restaurant spaces evolve to function more efficiently for both dine-in and take out orders, the new restaurant features an accessible takeout counter in concert with the flow of guests and staff in the dining room. Harry’s Pizzeria also works with partners including UberEATS, Amazon Restaurants and DoorDash for delivery, which will be introduced at the Downtown Dadeland location a couple of weeks after opening.

In an effort to always improve upon the quality and consistency of our pizza (the heart and soul of what we do), Schwartz and The Genuine Hospitality Group executive chef Bradley Herron selected a Marra Forni Rotator Oven for the new kitchen, making a trip to work with it where it is built right outside of Washington, D.C. With a rotating deck made of pure cut Italian stone to retain and conduct consistent heat, the oven cooks evenly and quickly. While also serving as an active and beautiful focal point for the main dining room in the open oven station, the new hearth is calibrated specifically for the chef’s unique dough recipe. The core menu including Snacks, Salads, Daily Entrées, 11 Quick-Fired Pizzas with the option of gluten-free crust, and Dessert are along for the ride with great local brands including Panther Coffee and JoJo Tea. A daily pie and soup special, as well as wine and beer selection – including one rotating local craft tap – will be unique to the new location. Before rolling out Harry’s-wide, Schwartz adds a BananaNutella Panini to the Downtown Dadeland dessert line up, spawned from a longtime favorite from his flagship Michael’s Genuine® Food & Drink and eponymous cookbook. Fans can now give the gift of better pizza with electronic gift cards, available for purchase at harryspizzeria.com, simply click “[NEW] E-Gift Cards” to choose your denomination and send through email or phone.

“Opening in Downtown Dadeland is not only exciting in enabling us to reach more people with the better pizza they crave, but it’s a milestone for our Company as well as we embark on a multi-year expansion project,” says Sunil Bhatt, CEO Harry’s Holdings, LLC. “Starting that process with multiple South Florida locations will provide us with the foundation we need as we move north in Florida, in to Georgia and beyond over the coming years”.

Downtown Dadeland offers complimentary garage parking for Harry’s guests through a validated ticket when the check is presented, as well as street parking – not to mention its central location is the perfect stroll or bike ride for locals to the neighborhood. Seating 38 inside at tables and banquettes in the main dining room, 8 at the counter, and 40 outside with water bowls for pets, there will be plenty of room for a great meal. One flat panel TV will of course be in for game day as favorite snacks like Polenta Fries and Wood Oven Roasted Wings with agrodolce and rosemary crema fly around the dining room. Michael’s Genuine alums Kitchen Milton Vega, Kitchen Manager and GM Paolo Bazzani are leading the front and back of house teams comprised of both newcomers and Harry’s veterans from Coconut Grove and the Miami Design District.
